With it has come an unprecedented demand for trained office personnel . including stenographers, secretaries, office machine operators, and accountants. That was the observation of George H. Maxwell, vocational counselor, Stevens Henager College. He addressed students of Kanab, Valley and Fredonia high schools yesterday, February 11. He cited Utah, for example, in the ten years following World War II has shown the third highest rate of growth in manufacturing industries among the 48 states, according to United States Department of Commerce figures. Utahs gain was two and times that of the nation as a whole. On a regional basis the Mountain States led the nation in industrial growth with '167 per cent, followed closely by the Pacific States, with 150 per one-ha- lf cent.
