Tannis M. Zink is a “mother O.T.” herself with two children aged two and four. She is a graduate of the University of Manitoba (1966) and has worked in New Zealand and Canada. She is currently Director of Occupational Therapy, Children's Centre, Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg. The author explores the current trend of therapists returning to work after entering motherhood. The factors both positive and negative of utilizing “Mother O.T.‘s” in an Occupational Therapy Department are delineated with an emphasis on those particular contributions encountered when such an O.T. is employed. Her conclusion is a resounding endorsement for employing “Mother O.T.'s” because of their added maturity, stability and responsibility. Suggestions such as “Be flexible with vacant positions restructuring the job if necessary to accomodate part-time therapists”, are offered in order to encourage such O.T.‘s to return to their profession thus alleviating our manpower shortage.

In 1995, a nearly complete collection of the annual reports of the earliest interstate and common carrier railroad in the U. S., the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O), was rediscovered in the archival collection at the Bruno Library of the University of Alabama. Dating from the company's inception in 1827 to its acquisition by the Chessie System in 1962, the reports present a unique opportunity for the exploration, study, and analysis of early U.S. corporate disclosure practice. This paper represents a study of the annual report information made publicly available by one of America's first railroads, and one of the first modern U.S. corporations. In this paper, early annual reports of the B&O which detail its formation, construction, and operation are catalogued as to content and evaluated. Mandated in the corporate charter, the annual “statement of affairs” presented by the management and directors to stockholders is studied as a process and as a product that instigated the institutional corporate practice recognized today as “annual reporting.” Using a single company methodology for assessment of reporting follows a pattern developed by Claire [1945] in his analysis of U.S. Steel and utilized by other researchers. This study demonstrates the use of archival information to improve understanding about the origins and contents of early annual reports and, therein, related disclosure forms.
