4 4a The Bend Bulletin, Thursday. January 27. 1955 I WorkUnderway on Initial Atlantic Telephone Cable NEW YORK (VP) The first poundini; o( Breakers at the shore trans-Atlantic telephone cable is now beinE constructed and its in stallation should be completed next year. It is scheduled to be in operation by Christmas, 19.16. The aim is trans-Atlantic tele phone calls ot clear and constant quality, instead ot the present "hit or - miss" system depend ent on (,'ood radio conditions. More than twice as many simultaneous conversations will be possible un der the new system. Need for the cable is evidenced Dy the increasing traffic. In 1927 -there were only 2,000 calls; in 11951 there were nearly 100,000. The new communications sys Htcm is a cooperative project of -Britain's General Post Office, the "American Telephone and Tele graph Co. and file Canadian Over "seas Telecommunications Corp. It Twill provide 36 telephone circuits "between Olian, Scotland, und Clar Senville, Nfd., with Sydney Mines as the terminal on the Canadian mainland. " It will require the laying of two undersea cables, each 1,9."0 (nau tical) miles long, and of a .wj Imile single cable, part on land "and part under water. One hun dred and eighteen repeaters, or "boosters, containing 300 valves wand 6,000 other electrical compon "cnts. will amplify Ihe sound at regular stages along the route so "the voice will be as clear at Ihe Zoulcoming as at the ingoing end. C'onIk Divided Z. The discovery by . Imperial Chemical Industries in 1933 of a '" "substance named polythene, and -the application of this us an in sulant, helped pave Ihe way. Poly Athene has certain ndvanlagaes JJovcr gutta percha and paragutta, m formerly used to insulate suhmn fine cables, and Is considered to " be ideal for this purpose. The cable now being made will uso 1,100 Ions of polythene. It also will require, for its 1,9'ifl - mile Z length, some 2,700 tons of copper, -11,000 tons of steel wire, 1.X00 IT tons of jute yarn, and 2.4 mil- lion yards of colton cloth. . Britain will pay 41 per cent of -the cost of the $35,0(.000 project. the United Stales 50 per cent and Z. Canada 9 per cent. The cable will weigh three tons " per nautical mile, anil must lie -; sufficiently slums ami flexible lo - withstand pressures of up lo three lluiekle il the cable ship lias tojlaving of a Irans-Allantic televi - tons per square inch, and the stop during the laving. or this siun circuit at some future dale Rain or 1 "" 1 1 are fresher, whiter, safer because Z E I - : n EL 1 : v;i,3 - : .

To construct such a cable, a new five - acre plant had to le built in England on the Thames at Erilh. It will employ over 200 technicians and workers, and will be capable of producing 4,000 miles of cable a year. The present contract, which is for the greater part of the Scot land - Newfoundland trans-Atlanlie stretch, is worth $14,000,000. Another problem that had to be solved before the telephone hook up could be planned was the de velopment of suitable boosters to amplify the sound at regular in tervals along Ihe line. Here, the partnership between the United Slates and Britain proved its value, The Brilish, who liad experimented for years with co-axial cables and had laid them successfully between the fsle of Man and Anglesey and across the North Sea to Norway, had con centrated on shallow - water re peaters. Only One Ship These had the advantage of be ing large enough to carry two way speech transmitters but 'he disadvantage of being housed in large, rigid steel containers. The Americans, on (he other hand, had turned their energies lo the development of deep-water repealer housings, and Bell Tele phone laboratories ha.l evolved and laid between the United Slates and Havana cables with boosters housed in an ingenious type of flexible container resembling a steel snake, which may be coiled inside storage tank drums. , At shore ends, and on the short er, shallower slrelch between Newfoundland und Canada, the British repeaters are lo be used, elsewhere, the American tyoe. A voltage of about 3,000 volts will be required to feed the boost ers on the main crossing. There is only one ship in Ihe world capable of laying such a length of cable, I IMS Monarch. the General Post Office's cable- layer. Even this vessel has had to have the bow nnd stern sheaves enlarged for the job to a diameter of seven feel. The whole of the first 1.500 mile deep-water section will have to be laid ill a single operation without pause, for the cable may shine, my linens I use C10H0X! ?i ' 3& '4 .,.,.. v is 1 tefi( w CL0R0X makes linens more tiftm white ...it makes them Routrnf k i on 1 he lobet. 7 Hi . -4 xifft - IT' 1 w ' -- rt,- niin'i'M QUAIL GIVES HUNTERS THE BIRDM-Eight-year-old Laura May Girdscn can give hunters a tip about quail a quail would rather be fondled than shot at. She knows, because her pet, "Tweety Bird," is a quail. She found it last July on the lawn of her home near Uniontown, Kan. It was only a few days old. For two weeks its diet consisted ot two bouseflies per day. Gradually the menu was expanded and today, Tweety Bird's favorite fool is light toast (dark toast is re jected) and warm milk. Laura May takes it to the pasture where it feeds on seeds and insects. It never tries to escape and always walks or flies back to the house. Photo shows Laura May offering the bobwhite some toast and in the inset, Tweety Bird is wearing a 1954 Kansas quail stamp. Pretty Lucky, He Decides JAMESTOWN, N. Y. (UP) Kred W. Austin, of nearby Erewsliurg, considers himself a fortunate young man. He was riding alone in his car recently when it left the highway, howled over a high tension pole, four mail boxes and a sign, de molishing the vehicle. Police said Ihe high tension wires, carrying 2,300 volts, coiled around Ihe car and a thick plank rammed through the windshield on the driver's side. But Austin walked away with only two small cuts. reason it npist be done in sum mer, when a two-week stretch ot consecutively good weather is a possibility.

SYMONDS United Press Staff Correspondent BANGKOK (UP) Man, I used to think Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and that crowd worked a pretty tough pilch. But com pared to what passes for boxing out here in Thailand the boys might as well be rolling hoops. Fighters in both countries wear boxing gloves and shorts, and they fighl in the same sie ring, but from then on In any resemblance between the two for style and ex citement is purely coincidental. Here feet, elbows, knees and thumbs are legitimate weapons and a deftly delivered knee to the groin, a rabbit punch or an elbow uppeivut is wildly cheered by the bloodthii'sty audiences as great skill. A ncveomcr to Thai boxing matches gets the impression of a particularly spirited Madi son Square Garden preliminary, a television wrestling match and u vc w .-jcinnn p Krt nil Ui,-c bimcfii, in jiydM' ( furni-rfran wiuh!

A five-round prelim was do- scribed thusly: "Sam, in the red corner, aggres sive star of Theppichai camp. He is a kid 'with dangerous limb in elbow smashes and dangerous kjiee which provides sensation for fans to their hearts' content." I caught the last half of the .veckly card recently and was tho roughly entranced. First ot all,) when the hoys enter the ring they spend several minutes on their knees praying. Then they do some stylized hopping around and arm- throwing in a loosening up proc ess. The five-round main event was between a 136-pound youngster named Prawat of "Kinglietch camp'' and a 134-pnundcr, Jenna rong, "super slar of Loogsurind camp." As the boys came oul for the firat round, the arena band sonic : drums, cymbals and what sound ed lite one of those snake charm er clarinets started playing. The band is a very important part of the fights because it is supposed to provide a tempo for Ihe fighters and keep tliem mov ing and mixing il up. If the boys look like they are slowing down, the hand steps up the beat and gets them swinging again. The first couple of rounds were pretty lame, with a few fast flur ries and some barefooted round- h.uises that made more noise than damage. Hut in the third round the. hoys mixed it up. They got in to a clinch and Red Pants hung onto Blue Pant's nock and pumped iwiiy at his stomach with his kneeso A little later Blue Pants got Red Pauls back-peddling across the ring. So Red Pauls backed up fast, bounced off the ropes like ''Gorgeous George" m;iking a fly ing tickle and caught Blue Pants in Ihe chest with both feel. Blue Pants got in some good licks right after that when they clinched by working on Red Pant's kidneys Willi both hands and a couple of good head butts. In the last round both Imvs were pretty winded, but Piccolo Pete and his buddies upped the beat with their cymbals and drums and belli fighters rescinded on cue. Both were up and do,n more times than I could count, but they were on their feet al the end. Both had numerous large bruises on their bodies. Red Pants won. I'.ul I never could figure out what they had a referee for.

SACRAMENTO. Calif. 1 (UP) An obelisk-shaped hitching post, dating to the 1890 horse and buggy days, recently was pressed' into service in a modern con struction job in downtown Sacra mento. The use ot the 2'4-foot-high post, with a ring on the top, occasioned some notice and may save the relic from oblivion. The hitching post was perfect ly situated in the center of con struction activities at the site of a new $7,Q0O.O0O building for the California department of employ ment, at a stationary elevation of 21.7 feet. It was used as a bench mar": for elevation control during erection of the six-floor, two- block-long structure. When the story of Ihe hitching post appeared in a local newspa per, the division of architecture was besieged with calls from per sons who wanted it as a memen to of the 19th century. However, die former owners of the property asked the division to hold the post. in order that they may have it placed in an appropriate museum. DOCTOR APPRECIATED WARREN. N. H.

When Dr. and Mrs. James Kid ney came here to settle recently, W) persons attended a reception Among the gifts presented to the Kidneys were groceries and froz en food and a Christmas wreath hearing 116 new one-dollar bills. r COFFEE ttj HI J Nm3 BUSS x Grade AA Large Local FRESH EGGS Sunshine Biscuit CRACKERS IlfJi'S.
