She read Anna's books and, in a chance meeting in 1939 in Evanston, Ill., met people who had known Anna.

For example: 1) hymns slow production almost to the stopping point; 2) Deep in the Heart of Texas prompts workers to clap their hands and let production go hang; 3) vocal refrains tend to distract rather than to stimulate; 4) music during the last 20 minutes of the working day is likely to be taken as a signal to pack up and go home. Burris-Meyer did not even attempt to play Strip Polka, for fear of provoking a complete breakdown of production...
