Jerome N. He'a making a
mistake to move downtown.
Henry N I'm tired o
keeping up a front, for show.
Jerome N. 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.

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

agencies went on a standby
basis at 5 p.m. Monday.
Gov. Mark Hatfield ordered
a continuous alert last week
over the Cuban crisis.

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

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

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-

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.
