SHEET 1.
From her vantage point she watched the main doors swing open and the
first arrivals pour in.Those who had been at the head of the line
paused momentarily on entry, looked around curiously, then quickly
moved forward as others behind pressed in.Within moments the central
public area of the big branch bank was filled with a chattering,
noisy crowd.The building, relatively quiet less than a minute
earlier, had become a Babel.Edwina saw a tall heavyset black man
wave some dollar bills and declare loudly, "I want to put my money
in the bank"
1It seemed as if the report about everyone having come to open an
account had been accurate after all.
Edwina could see the big man leaning back expansively, still holding
his dollar bills.
His voice cut across the noise of other conversations and she heard
him proclaim, "I’m in no hurry.There’s something I’d like you to
explain."Two other desks were quickly manned by other clerks.With
equal speed, long wide lines of people formed in front of them.
Normally, three members of staff were ample to handle new account
business, but obviously were inadequate now.
Edwina could see Tottenhoe on the far side of the bank and called
him on the intercom.She instructed, "Use more desks for new accounts
and take all the staff you can spare to man them."
2
Tottenhoe grumbled in reply, "You realize we can’t possibly process
all these people today, and however many we do will tie us up
completely.""I’ve an idea," Edwina said, "that’s what someone has in
mind.Just hurry the processing all you can."

First, an application form called for details of residence,
was obtained.Then proof of identity was needed.After that, the new
accounts clerk would take all documents to for approval and
initialing.Finally, a savings passbook was made out or a temporary
checkbook issued.Therefore the most new accounts that any bank
employee could open in an hour were five, so the three clerks
presently working might handle? a total of ninety in one business
day, if they kept going at top speed, which was unlikely.
4
Still the noise within the bank increased.It had become an uproar.
A further problem was that the growing mass of arrivals in the
central public area of the bank was preventing access to tellers’
counters by other customers.Edwina could see a few of them outside,
regarding the milling scene with consternation.While she watched,
several gave up and walked away.Inside the bank some of the
newcomers were engaging tellers in conversation and the
tellers,?having nothing else to do because of the melee, chatted
back.Two assistant managers had gone to the central floor area and
were trying to regulate the flood of people so as to clear some
space at counters.They were having small success.
5
She decided it was time for her own intervention.
Edwina left the platform and a railed-off staff area and, with
difficulty, made her way through the milling crowd to the main front
door.
A.Yet she knew however much they hurried it would still take ten to
fifteen minutes to open any single new account.It always did.The
paperwork required that time.
B.But still no hostility was evident.Everyone in the now jam-packed
bank who was spoken to by members of the staff answered politely and
with a smile.It seemed, Edwina thought, as if all who were here had
been briefed to be on best behavior.
C.A security guard directed him, "Over there for new accounts." The
guard pointed to a desk where a clerk?a young girl?sat waiting.She
appeared nervous.
The big man walked toward her, smiled reassuringly, and sat down.
Immediately a press of others moved into a ragged line behind him,
waiting for their turn.
D.Even leaning close to the intercom, it was hard to hear above the
noise.
E.Even tripling the present complement of clerks would permit very
few more than two hundred and fifty accounts to be opened in a day,
yet already,?in the first few minutes of business, the bank was
crammed with at l in, and the line outside, which Edwina rose to check, appeared as
long as ever.
F.Obviously someone had alerted the press in advance, which
explained TV camera crew outside.Edwina wondered who had done it.
