materials in science, and the
training of teachers of science

The 40 participants invited
represented four categories of
interest: the college professor

search; the college professor
of science education interest

Automation Expected To Bring
Lower Costs on Reading Matter
By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
UPI Financial Editor
New York - (UPI) - Book
worms can look forward to
lower prices for their reading
matter in the
near future.
This is ex
pected to be
the end result
of automation
which finally
has crept into
the book pub
lishing busi
ness - one of
Henry Becntold the nation's
oldest industries.
Not only are these new
developments in book pub
lishing expected to cut costs,
but they also promise to sharp
ly increase efficiency in this
unusually conservative indus
try. S. Roskin, president of Pro
cess Lithographers Inc., said
his firm now can send a book
in manuscript form through a
completely integrated oper
ation, with a bound, fully cut
book emerging in seconds.
He told United Press Inter
national is comparable to
starting with a few nuts and
bolts on one end and finish
ing with a completed auto
mobile. Surprisingly, the book pub
lishers the general public is
most familiar with, such as
Random House, Doubleday
and MacMillan, do not actual
ly produce their books.
Work Force Reduced
They select the manuscripts
and send them to companies
such as Process Lithographers
for the actual physical pro
duction of the book. And these
printers previously farmed out
much of the time consuming
and costly production work
such as art layout, typesetting
and lithography.
But now with this one step
operation pioneered by Pro
cess, the "old time"' methods
should quickly disappear, Ros
kin said. Where 400 to 500
people used to be involved in
the publication of a book,
automation has dropped this
working force to from 50 to
100.
The effect on the $1.3 bil
lion book publishing industry
should be immense. It now
will be possible for greater
amounts of books to be pub
lished at more competitive
prices. And both domestic
sales and foreign efforts in
the publishing field will be
profoundly . affected, Roskin
declared.
He contends that the con
stant desire for new and spec
ialized books in the expanding
educational systems of the
United States will be more
easily met at lower costs with
these new production line
techniques.
Reference and text books
now absorb approximately 60
per cent of the overall book
market, and the Process execu
tive "predicted they will take
nearly three fourths of the
publishing field by 1956.
The savings of these types
of books alone, he said, will
run into hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Roskin also said that the
U.S. book policy overseas
could probably use a power
ful stimulant in the form of
fast, inexpensively printed
works. Most of the opinion
molders i n underdeveloped
and neutralist nations are in
fluenced heavily by the print
ed page, he added, and Ameri
can books on history, eco
nomics, political science, etc.,
"would be an invaluable ad
junct to other propaganda
activities."
Roskin looks for nearly all
books to be made with this
automated production line
technique within a few years.
"Book publishers cannot at
ford to have their manuscripts
turned into hard cover works
any other way."
Process Lithographers ex
pects to start reaping in some
earnings benefits from its
automated system this year,
with 1962 a real turning point.
6 Oregon Airports
To Receive Lights
Portland (UPD-Six more Ore
gon airports will receive air
port lighting systems as a re
sult of action of the State
Board of Aeronautics.
Gene Waddle, board chair
man, said the airports were at
Vale, Bend, Chiloquin, New
berg, Lebanon and Spring
field. He said each system will be
complete and will include run
way and threshold lights, wir
ing, airport beacon lights, and
a photoelectric cell for auto
matically turning the system
on and off.
The board previously pro
vided similar systems at Her-
miston, Condon, Aurora and
Bandon.
Hatfield Announces
Safety Conference
Salem-IUPll-Gov. Mark Hat
field has called a statewide
traffic safety conference to
meet here May 19.
Hatfield said invitations
have been sent to officials and
citizens groups to nominate
representatives for 'the meet
ing. The governor said aim of
the conference was to find
ways of reducing "Oregon's
tragic traffic toll,", which, he
said, will grow worse as car
travel increases.

This Turtle Was A
Willing Patient
Although she weighed near
ly 300 pounds she wasn't con
sidered to be obese; neither,
of course, was she slim or
trim. She was not expected to i
be, for she was a sea turtle,
captured somewhere off the
Cayman Islands.
It had been a long and very
painful trip on the turtle-boat.
for she was in an uncomfort
able position flat on her
back with her flippers secure
ly tied together. Ordinarily
her destination would have
been a soup kettle or on a
menu as green turtle steaks,
but she was lucky. She was
sold alive, to live in captivity,
to entertain people who had
never before seen such a cre
ature.
Somewhere en route be
tween her warm, native waters
and her final tank, her right
eye had become injured. Later
in the large tank in which she
was destined to live the rest
of her life, a fungus infection
established itself in the in
jury. Medication of a sort was
decided on after several days
and the infection had spread
into a large area near the
eye.
Sling Improvised
To facilitate treatment the
services of a car-wrecker
truck was necessary. A can
vas sling was improvised,
worked under the heavy body
of the patient, and then lifted
out of the tank. Ointments
somewhat impervious to wa
ter action were tried. Miracle
drugs later yielded some en
couragement. Treatments
were somewhat of a trial, in
asmuch as each time the lift
ing truck had to be called. It
took much longer to get the
truck into position, do the lift
ing, and again release the
sling than did the actual treat
ment of the eye.
One afternoon the attend
ant was leaning on the tank
edge wondering if it was nec
essary to call the service truck
when the big turtle swam up
to the surface, heaved her
deep-seated sigh, and edged
her huge head within a few
inches of the man's hand
where it rested on the rim of
the tank. Almost disbelieving
his eyes, the man put his hand
into the water. The turtle
placed her head on the mo
tionless fingers.
Ridiculous Happened
Excitedly the man ran to
his office, grabbed the neces
sary medicines, and hurried
back to the tank. Once again
the ridiculous happened. The
turtle came up, offered her
head for treatment. Records
of previous treatments were
hurriedly consulted. It was
discovered that the turtle had
been lifted out of the tank and
doctored seven times, and
each time it had been force
fully lifted from the water on
the canvas sling. Now, for the
eighth treatment, the huge
reptile had figured out the
procedure and offered itself.
Patiently it waited, its head
slightly to one side, while the
medication was administered,
then submerged and once
more began the slow paddling
around and around her en
closure. .
