Nolle is in the position of being a manager who has been crowded right out of his own of fice. The result, Nolle, manager of Montgomery Ward's Roseburg store, has had to set up separate olfices lor himself and staff in two rooms of the l'mpqua Hotel, Rooms 309 and 312. A change in the managerial set up has been made necessary in or der to properly arrange for open ing of Ward's new Roseburg store, now under construction at the NK Stephens St. intersection with NE Garden Valley Blvd., according to Nolle. He is devoting all his time to arrangements for the new store. Max Clark, who look over as as sistant manager earlier this year, has been promoted to operating manager, and has taken over the responsibility of closing out the old store. He will continue as oper ating manager at the new location. Merchandise Manager Transferred here from Red Bluff, Calif., is Frank Lowry, who has been named merchandise manager for the new store. Formerly assist ant manager at Red Bluff, he is now here assisting with ordering of merchandise. Nolle has a staff of 10 girls working with him in his Umpqua Hotel offices, helping with ordering, laying out advertising, hiring per sonnel and taking care of other problems in conjunction with the tremendous task of setting up and operating an all new store the size that Ward s will be when it is com-! plcted and occupied sometime ear ly in August. Weekly visits are being made by representatives from the Oak land West Coast regional head quarters to assist with ordering and organization. New Merchandise Arriving New merchandise will start ar riving in Roseburg Monday and will be stored at the new location. A permanent warehouse office will be set up then and additional crews hired as markers.

Kei-ulnn Roseburg, earned a net profit after taxes ot 52HB,270 or $1 per share of stock in 1960. President Nick Bcz announced today following the re lease of the company's annual re port. "Favorable earnings were re corded lor the period and were supplemented by additional income applicable to the three prior vears as a resull of settlement of our open mail rate wilh the Civil Aeronautics Board," Bcz said. This settlement, totaling $1,296, 092, when applied lo the three pre vious years when financial state ments reported deficils from opera tions, gives the following results: Net earnings in 1959 were $240, 081 or 81 'cents a share;' in 1958 net earnings were S1B3.087 or 55 cenls a share, and in 1957 net earn ings were $67,039 or 36 cents a share. "During (he year service was in itialed to Calgary and your air line thereby adopted in(erna(ional characteristics," Bez (old (he stock holders. "Service also was inlroduced lo Sun Valley, famous for its rcsorl. These (wo operations have been well received and arc iinporlan( additions (o your company's rou(c pattern. "Passenger traffic, as an index of progress, continued to grow and registered a 14 p r cent increase over the previous year." Company directors and officers were re - elected at the annual stockholders meeting. Donald G. Graham was added as an assistant secretary. I k, , 7 j. . - . t f f ,V '..; ' ,'1,.5' i EUGENE ROELLE, on right, president of Generol Electronic Manufacturing, tests a trans lator for receiving, amplifying, converting to different channel and rebroodcasting tele vision signals to areas of poor or no reception. He is pictured with Paul Dillon, on left, who is working on production at the GEM plant on W. Harvard Ave. (Chris' Studio). Production Gets Under n Waif Television ransfators Simple in appearance, but intri cate in design and tremendous in capability are the television trans lators now being produced by Gen eral Electronic Manufacturing, Inc., in the former Fairhaven Market building on W. Harvard Ave. Head of the company is Eugene Roelle, designer of the translators, who is being assisted in manufac ture of the produce by Dick Ben nett, secretary-treasurer of the corporation, and Paul Dillon. Between taking orders and pro ducing translators ready for ship ment, the three men find some time lo eat and sleep, but not much. Ihey had the task of producing five units this week from Tuesday lo Saturday. They are to be shipped as far away as Montana and Nebraska. Now thai information has gotten around thai the translators are available and designed to bring satisfactory television reception to small, isolated communities, inquir ies and lirm orders are arriving daily, by mail and direct phone rail. Fulfillina Dream Hoelle has worked wilh the idea several years. He is now fulfilling his dream of production. He and the men who have joined the ven ture are looking forward to the time when they can hire a produc tion crew, so they can devote llieir time to marketing, improvement of the product and redevelopment of many other ideas on electronics which the inventive mind of Roelle is fostering. They are hoperul that they can establish a going con cern for (he ci(y of Roseburg and add another industry of sorts that will help its economy. Electronic component parts which go inlo the translators must be factory produced, but the actiial construction '-is a manufacturing process. Many of Hie parts are processed, at the local plant. Sheet aluminum plays an important part. Production of the translator begins with the framing from aluminum of a metal box, into which holes nst he bored in precise places lor the fitting of parts. Each tube and connecting wire must bo placed just so to do the job intended. Pre cision is the keynote. When com pleted, the translator must be fully tested for performance. Signal Amplified, Converted . The translator consists ol a unn for receiving a television broad cast signal. This signal is ampli fied, then converted lo anodier channel, re-amplified and (hen (he converted signal is rebroadcast inlo shaded areas whero normal tele vision reception is poor or non ex istent. The set also contains the necessary mechanical and electron ic controls.

Harvard Ave. Shown is an under neath view of a translator. (Chris' Studio). contains important other equipment making possible remote control by radio means. Many workers in the electronics field considered this impossible, us jng a citizens band. It was wilh considerable surprise at a recent conference of men in the electron ics field at Salt Lake City, Utah, that it was revealed the Roseburg men had developed the remote con trol device. Definite Advantage Ihis highly important factor gives the CEAf an advantage over other translators in the field, as the Federal Communications Com mission requires that a station be hie to go off the air wilhin 15 minutes time in event of a national alert. Translators are placed on a higher elevation near a commu nity for maximum reception of the signal and rebroadcast to a given area. Sometimes the location may be many miles away, such as Mt. Scott for Suthcrlin television reception. Numerous improvements and sim plification of design have been per fected in the translators during the few weeks since production started. Originally it had been intended to incorporate additional channel con verters into single units, but it has been found more practical to use individual translators fur each channel desired. They may be stacked one on top of another in a metal cabinet. If no building is available for the translator, it is built inlo a waterproof con(ainer and hung from a post or tower. Translator production is now in (he very high frequency field, but as this is limited (o 12 channels, Roelle sees the real future in the ultra high frequency field, which has almost unlimited wave length bands for use. UHF channels would require converters on television sets, but mos( se(s witiiin (he very near futiire will come wilh con verters already inslalled. Interest Mushrooms Interest in translators for tele vision reception in isolated areas has mushroomed since they were recognized by the FCC and legaliz ed by congress a year ago. Tho FCC had taken earlier action to make them illegal, after thousands of amplifiers and crude translator systems were put into operation all over the nation, many of them be ing inadequate to do the job and interfering wiih licensed television, broadcasting. But pressure on congessmen hy people living in these areas unable to receive television got them le galized, but they arc under FCC contml.
