Telephone Co.
Puts New Name
On Vehicles Here
First outward indication of
Pacific Telephone-Northwest,
the telephone company's new
organizational set-up, came to
Medford Monday with the
changing of the company
name on trucks and cars
here.
Manager J. H. Creagcr said
the new decals on all Com
pany vehicles show the name
as Pacific Telephone-Norm
west," replacing the former
"Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph company" markers.
Creager explained the name
change followed the forma
tion on Feb. 1 of Pacific Tele
phone-Northwest as the new
operating unit of the Bell Sys
tem serving Oregon, wash
Ington and northern Idaho.
A new headquarters is in
the process of being establish
ed in Seattle. Walter W. Stra-
ley, new president of Pacific
will have offices there and in
Portland also.
Creager said the reason for
the change was to bring top
authority closer to the com-
munities served, and make
possible more effective atten.
tion to local problems involv
ing service, employees and
the general public.
IGY Information
Being Published
Cleveland - (Science Serv
ice) - Between 90 and 93 per
cent of the information col'
lected during the Internation
al ueophysical Year is ex
pected to be in by the end
of this year, Drs. Hugh Odi
shaw and Pembroke J. Hart
of the U. S. National Commit
tee for the IGY told the
American Chemical society
More than 30,000 scientists
of 67 nations have been get
ting Information on subjects
ranging from space probes to
ocean depths since the be
ginning of the IGY In July,
1957.
This information is now be
ing collected at three centers
-one in Washington, D. C,
one in Moscow, and one that
is a cooperative effort on the
part of various scientific so
cieties in Europe and Japan.
According to Dr. Hart, the
nations seem to have lived up
to their international agree
ments on the exchange of in
formation. The final results of the IGY
research will, he expects, com
prise 30 volumes of about 400
pages each, of which the first
nine volumes have already
been published.

Silicone Rubber
Can Be Improved
Cleveland - (Science Serv
ice) - Silicone rubber can be
improved by stretching it,
then irradiating it with high
energy electrons while
stretched, the American
Chemical society meeting
here was told recently.
M. Prober, G. D. Cooper
and F. F. Holub of the Gen
eral Electric Research Labo
ratory, Schenectady, N. Y.,
said samples of peroxide
cross-linked silicone rubber
treated this way had higher
tensile strengths than similar
samples that had not been
irradiated or had been irradi
ated without stretching.

Gerald K. - Am I too old

Mabel F. - She is nothing
compared with his deceased
wife.
e
Gerald K. - I am a widow
er of 45 wlln two marriea
children. I have been living
alone since my youngest mar
ried six months ago.
I have not thought of re
marriage until recently. I was
too busy trying to help my
children get started in their
own lives. But now find my
self very lonely.
Recently I met a charm
ing girl of 28 through some
business associates. She is
European and came here re
cently through the efforts of
her relatives. Both her par
ents are dead and she seems
completely bewildered. I
showed her some of the sights
In our city and I don't know
when I've had more fun. I
then took her to a concert and
a few other places. She is so
appreciative of everything
done for her I feel I would
like to be with her always.
My sister think's it's a ridic
ulous idea.

Mabel F. - I would like
nothing better than to see my
brother married again. He
needs the comfort and com
panionship of a wife and has
gone on too long alone, sac
rificing everything for his
children,
But I think the age differ
ence is Just too much in this
case. My brother looks young
for his age, but so does this
girl. She's a kid and he's a
mature mnn. He needs a wom
an of his own age or a little
younger.
This girl has been natter
ing him and playing up to
him because he has money
and can take her to the best
places. She wouldn't give him
a tumble if he couldn't take
her out in style. Gerald has
built up a whole romance
about her, but I've met her
several times and find her
very ordinary. She is abso-

Through Suffering Raises Doubts
lulely nothing compared with
Gerald's deceased wife. He's
so silly.
see
The Council: Mabel is all
wrong to downgrade the
young woman merely because
she considers the match unde
sirable. Gerald finds her at
tractive and companionable
and Mabel's opinion doesn't
figure into the argument at
all.
Apart from this issue, we
think Mabel is right. The age
difference is a big one and it
would probably play an unfor
tunate role in such a mar
riage.
Even more important is the
fact that Gerald and the
young woman have found one
another at a moment when
they are not quite their nor
mal selves. Gerald has just
emerged from a kind of re
treat in which he has had no
thought of his personal hap
piness. He is just getting his
bearings as a free man. At the
moment his freedom may
seem a burden and rather
frightening, yet is could be a
mistake to dispose of it too
quickly out of a sensation of
panic.
The young woman is also in
a transition period, uprooted
from her old life, about to en
ter a new one and without a
clear picture of what life in
this country holds for her. She
too, might be tempted to jump
for security. Later, when she
knows this country better, she
could feel she acted too has
tily. We also think Gerald, accus
tomed to his role as father,
finds this a convenient one to
assume in relation to a young
woman, but it can be irksome
when two individuals live on
the day-to-day level. He is
likely to be much happier if
he can find a companionable
woman closer to his own age
-and there are plenty of them
around.
FTC Examiner
Suggests Timken
Case Be Dropped
Washington - (UPD - A Fed
eral Trade Commission exam
iner has recommended dis
missal of government charges
that the Timken Roller Bear
ing Co. illegally requires dis
tributors to handle its replace
ment products exclusively.
It was the second time
examiner William L. Pack has
recommended dismissing the
1956 charges against Timken,
the nation's largest manufac
turer of roller bearings, lo
cated at Canton, Ohio.
The FTC charged that Tim
ken had employed unfair
methods to prevent its dis
tributors and jobbers from
handling the products of com
petitors in the replacement
field.
Following Pack's initial de
cision in the case, the com
mission ordered him to take
another look at the evidence
and produce a new report.
This week Pack came up with
another finding that Timken
has not engaged in exclusive
dealing arrangements with its
distributors.
Salesmen Testify
He said that 39 Timken
salesmen and executives testi
fied that "as a matter of fact
the majority of Timken dis
tributors and jobbers do han
dle competing bearings with
out anv interference on the
part of Timken."
The examiner contended
that the anti-trust laws per
mit "a seller to push his own
goods and, if he can, to induce
or persuade purchasersrto han
dle his goods exclusively."
He said the only require
ment of the law is that "the
transaction must not be 'on
the condition' that the custo
mer will not deal in the goods
of a competitor."
Pack's recommendation is
not final and may be appeal
ed, stayed or reviewed by the
full commission.

JOHANNES E. R. LILJE

That power can be gained
through suffering is, of course,
one of those paradoxical state
ments. As in most cases, we
may have our serious doubts
whether a statement of that
sort can really be true. If you
want power, it Is certainly
more effective to beat than to
be beaten. And wasn't Nietz
ache right when he told the
Christians that their theology
was that of the underdogs and
that they Just made a pious
philosophy out of the simple
fact that ihey were unable to
gain power and did not know
how to do it?
Another Side
Still, there Is another side.
Perhaps we cannot point to
Mahatma Gandhi who paved
the way for India's freedom
by suffering, because his his
toric mission was exceptional
and cannot be repeated by
everybody. But in a more
personal, and at the same
time more general way St.
Paul speaks about the same
phenomenon, when he states
that the power of God will
be fully felt in and through
human weaknesses.
Paul's own life is proof of
this. He was able to fulfill a
unique life-task in spite of
serious physical handicap. He
realized the miraculous help
of God In the midst of tre
mendous riifficiencies of man.
To him, this was on a smaller
scale the same experience as
that of Christ who by under
going sufferings and death
turned the fate of the world.
In a generation like ours,
which had to bear a heavier
burden of sufferings than
many a generation before, we
should help each other to un
derstand that sufferings can
become the source of inner
strength if only we are pre
pared to discover the bless
ings which are hidden in
them.

Low Frequencies Give Accurate Time
Boulder, Colo. - (Science
Service) - Broadcasting on the
very low frequency of 20
kilocycles, a radio station
operated by the National
Bureau of Standards here is
now transmitting the world's
most accurate yardstick of
radio frequency.
Within their range of thou
sands of miles, the signals
will be used for research
necessary to set up a world
wide broadcasting system of
transmissions at the same low
frequency for use by indus
