Update to Initialed and Post-Dated 1954

The resolution to the previous question about editors who had initialed and dated the slips they created has been updated. While in many cases, this added piece of information may ultimately not be used, several editors felt that it is worth keeping in the rare event that we would need to track the creation of a slip. This most likely would occur with a blue lead slip that was created from incomplete auction information. 

New Resolution: Since the information will all be transcribed by the data entry vendor, information that is pertinent or useful only to Adams editors will be retained in a note field that will not show up in the public online presentation.
