One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. "Where's the beef?" she shouted in a funny voice. These advertisements for Wendy' s hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television. As we said, it sccmed everyone began using the expression "Where's the bee?"

In Kansas, Missouri, a computer helps firefighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 350,000 street addresses in the city. When a firefighter answers a call, the computer gives him important information about the burning building. The computer can give the location of the building and its size, type and content.
In fact, the computer system has almost unlimited ways of helping the firefighters with their problems. For example, it can give medical information about invalids living in a burning building. With this information the firefighters can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely.
The speed of a computer is amazing. Within 2 or 3 seconds after a call is received, the computer provides necessary information for the firefighters. The information is then sent to them by the radio from the computer center in the city hall.
The Kansas City Computer System also contains a medical record of each of the city's 900 firefighters. This kind of information is especially useful when a firefighter is injured. With this medical information doctors of hospital can treat the injured firefighters more quickly and easily. The firefighters themselves greatly appreciate the computer help. They can learn about possible dangers ahead of them and can prepare for them. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and properties, sometimes the lives are those of the firefighters themselves.
