Before Henry signs on the dotted line and there's no turning back, 1 want him to see clearly what he's doing. He's in the adver tising business where the so called superficials arc im portant. By living In the right part of town, he's been able to entertain easily. His apart ment on The Avenue is easy to get to, safe to leave in the wee hours. In addition, his prestige address gives him a head start, an immediate "in" with new contacts. He's lived in the same place for 20 years. In that time his business has flourished. Now he wants to move to a down town niidd'e-income housing development. It's in a crowd ed noisy section, unattractive to visitors. I'm a chemist and In my line of work I can live where I want. In Henry's, he can't. , Henry N. I think what's really bothering my brother Is that he will no longer be able to brag about his "broth er on The Avenue." He and his wife have enjoyed bring ing the visiting firemen, friends and relations for view of the park and lake from our penthouse. My wife and I have reached a point where we wish to live simply and' honestly. The truth is, my business didn't maintain the scale of living we assumed. My wife's job took up the slHck. But now we plan to live on what I make. The clients who like me for Ihe Tjuality of my work will follow me no matter where I live. The ones who hired me for my status address can find someone else. I'll manage. The big advantage is that I'll be living within my means, not keeping up a rich front. At this point, 1 seek authen ticity. The Council! "Things are seldom what they seem, skim milk masquerades as cream," observed Mr. Gilbert to the tunc of Mr. Sullivan's "Pina fore" score. Well, Henry Is after that elusive "seldom." He wants a few things that are what t thry seem, like contentment and comfort. Some people go 1 after those from the start. Others arc willing to give them up indefinitely In the I Interests of keeping up a front and getting ahead. But Henry feels he's served his , time as a perfect model of a model Madison Avenue-er and i that the gray flannel suit , Itches. He's ready to shed the costume, the scenery and the labels. His brother makes the mis- take of measuring what lien- i vy's giving up and what Henry's gaining, on the old I scales of former values, for mer goals. But Henry has scrapped them. He now seeks to gel down to the essentials a loaf of bread (okay, en riched) a Jug of wine (plain domestic) and over his head a roof whose rental can be met each month with a shrug , Instead of a wrench. The old order changeth, Je rome. Henry has reached a slage of life where pretense isn I fun any more, and Us re turns don't pay in emotional terms, even if they do finan cially. The new order, with Its honest address and its modest budget, relieves him of a 211-year-old burden that of prelending he's someone he sn'l a big-money executive. At leasl he can be a "minor" executive, living on whatever comes in. Psehnlogisls have isolated one basic fear which is, per haps, the most pervasive in our society today, namely the fear of being found out. It as sails everyone who dissembles, fakes, oversells, exaggerates. Jl may well be responsible for the vast use of tranquili zers, anxiety-quieter. Henry has turned to the best tranquilizer of all- the simple, solvent life. The "dis advantages" his brother wars against don't register with him- or us. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 31. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD OREGON University Has Optical Maser in Operation Eugene - An optical maser discovered for Ihe optical -the first of these new inslru ments in the state of Oregon has been placed in operation in a laboratory at the Univer sity of Oregon. The device, which is capable ol sending concentrated, non diffused beams of light for hundreds of thousands of miles, is similar to the optical maser at the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology which was used earlier this year to bounce a beam of light off the moon. The university's physics de partment is presently renting the maser, with an option to buy It, from Trion Instru ments, Inc., Ann Arbor, Mich. It has been set up in the labor atory of Dr. Henry J. llros towski, associate professor of physics and a specialist in sol id state physics, particularly the optical properties of sol ids and fluorescent materials. The first successful optical maser, also called a laser, was built only two years ago by Dr. T. II. Maiman, then at the Hughes Aircraft company. It is now estimated that more scientists are working on the possibilities inherent in maser technology than were work ing on the problems of radar in World War II. Eye Surgery Such practical applications as eye surgery and welding in a vacuum have already been maser. However, its chief val ue may be as a tool "for dis covering many fundamental things, particularly in the field of spectroscopy and in the study of physical and chemical properties of various substances," according to Dr. Hroslowski. "It is a very special type of light source which may result in many exciting results that cannot be obtained with con ventional equipment." he add ed. "It is a major break through in spectroscopy and will almost certainly lead to new discoveries in this field in Ihe future." Possible use of the optical masers as communications de vices is occupying the atten tion of many scientists. Dr. Hroslowski explained. An or dinary television transmission wave produces a band-width of four megacycles, while a single maser beam might carry a band-width of 100,000 megacycles, making it possi ble to transmit enormous Civil Defense Alert In Oregon Relaxed Salem - H'PH - The around-the-clock Civil Defense alert in Oregon has been relaxed. Stale Civil Defense Director Arthur M. Sheets said Tues day. Sheets said civil defense agencies went on a standby basis at 5 p.m. Monday. Gov. Mark Hatfield ordered a continuous alert last week over the Cuban crisis. I JUDGES TO MEET Portland 'UPJi The a 1st an nual meeting of the Oregon Circuit Judges Association will be held Friday. Brazil Seeking Role of Mediator Havana -H'PH- Brazil is seek ing to assume a role of me diator between the United States and Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. Gen. Albino da Silva, mili tary aide to Brazilian Presi dent Joao Goularl, arrived here as the president's special emissary Monday. A spokesman for the Bra zilian embassy said Castro went lo the residence of the Brazilian ambassador and con ferred with Da Silva "for some lime" during the after noon and early evening. The spokesman said Da Sil va planned to meet with Act ing Secretary General Thant of the United Nations today. Da Silva was authorized lo start talks "that would permit arrival of an understanding between the parlies involved in the current crisis." the em bassy spokesman said. Kennedy Asked To I limit Lumber Imports Portland HlPli Gov. Mark Hatfield has asked Presi dent Kennedy to limit imports of Canadian lumber into the United States. He called Ihe Oct. 12 wind storm which felled some 4 4 billion hoard feet of timber in Ihe Pacific Northwest "a great and unforseen emergency." Jbiy EVERYTHING Ll f 'fp.

Hilarious catloor. IOW AS $11 MONTH amounts of information on a single light wave. Since the maser would not be able lo penetrate fog and rain, scientists are proposing shining - the light beams through pipes to create intra building or intra -city com munications systems. In addition to its researcli possibilities, the university physics department is acquir ing a maser at this time "to keep the university current," Dr. Hrostowski said. It allows students to see in operation one of the newest instruments in the field of physics. Fur thermore, the instrument is valuable in demonstrating to students several basic physi cal principles. The beam of the univer sity's maser is presently un focused and shines against a cement-block laboratory wall. The beam is a flash of pink light which has a peak power of about 5,000 watts lasting only a few thousandths of a second. The light can be fo cused quickly with a lens at tachment from a microscope and is then capable of gener ating temperatures of 5,000 degrees Centigrade, sufficient lo vaporize virtually any ma terial. Non-Diffused Light So non-diffused is the light from an optical maser that it is estimated that it results in a circle of light only two or three miles in diameter after traveling from the earth to the moon. and are "excited" to a higher energy state. Left to themselves, these atoms would in a short time release this energy spontan- eously in small bursts of light , called photons and fall back ' to the ground slate in a ran- The instrument consists of . dom fashion, a large power source and a j Interact With Atoms small metal cylinder which houses the maser itself. The heart of the maser is a red ruby crystal, synthetically "grown" from aluminum ox ide and a small amount of chromium and machined into a rod about two inches long md a quarter of an inch in diameter. One end of the rod is almost completely silvered to prevent the escape of light; the other end is partially sil vered. Connected to the power source and wrapped around the ruby rod is a spiral xenon flash lamp. The chromium atoms in the rod are in the ground state, until they ab sorb the light from the lamp However, in the special con fines of the optical maser, the first few photons emitted in this way interact with other atoms which are still in the "excited" state, causing these atoms to give up their photons in a non-random fashion. Although many of these photons escape through the walls of the rod, eventually a photon will strike one of the silvered ends of the rod and be reflected back to the other end, interacting with addi tional atoms as it goes. This sets up a pattern of increasing numbers of photons being re flected back and forth along the axis of the rod. Soon, through the "pump ing" action of the lamp which keeps the atoms in an "ex cited" state, an excess of en ergy will build up and burst through the partially silvered end of the rod in a powerful light flash of the optical maser. The whole process takes only about a millisec ond. This light flash is highly di- mmm Modal 4008 -IMlTiasi n f ft IK.-... rectional, very intense, and non - diffused because t h a atoms have been forced lo give up their energy in an or derly fashion. This results in the photons emerging from the maser "in phase," all with the same wave-length, "lika soldiers marching in step," Dr Hrostowski explained.
