(Physic Photography Dick West's Explained By DICK WEST Washington-UPli-From this distance 1 can't vouchsafe anything that happens in iwrH.il Chicago, b u t Jf K l'nere is a 1 iewow tncre ti who claims to have photo graphic brain waves. Ac cording to Fate, a "sci ence mystery" magazine, this west chap pointed a Polaroid camera at his head and directed his thoughts at the U.S. Capital and Penta gon 570 miles away. Then he snapped the shut ter and out came photographs of the two buildings, some copies of which have fallen into my hands along with Fate's report on the incident. The magazine described the photographs as "incredible," but I didn't see anything so remakable about them. The prints I received were rather fuzzy, indicating that the psychic photographer, identified as a Ted Serios, wasn't thinking too clearly when he photographed his thoughts. Besides that, in one of the pictures the Capitol dome was tilled. This indi cates that Serios either was holding the camera askew or else didn't have his head on straight. To some persons, the whole idea of psychic photography might sound a little fishy, but I find it easy to believe in. It is the only way I can ac count for some of the results I get with my Polaroid camera. For instance, I estimate that 10 per cent of the snap shots I have taken turned out to be blank prints. Until I heard about Serios, I figured something was wrong with the camera or with the way I was operating it.

But as communica t i o n s grew to the corporate giant status they possess today, picking up millions of in vestors en route, the same growing use of the telephone which led to the growth brought about the near-disappearance of the telephone operator in the normal tele phone procedure. Present day electronic sys tems now in development or in actual use are designed for incredible speeds and for the performance of duties scarce ly thought of 25 years ago. Know More About Jobs There still are ladies at work at switchboards in tele phone exchanges. The chances are they will remain there for a long time. They are usually more highly schooled and know more about the tele phone system - because they must - than did their mothers or grandmothers who may have held the same jobs. But they have diminished in numbers. Telephone sys tems now in use or in prepar ation for smaller communities use a quiet system of transis tors and diodes which, sadly, lack personalities', but they work. Rather than names, the electronic systems bear terse Child From Coins jingle in his pocket and he never feels short changed about parental affec tion. You're giving him every thing much more than you, a child of the depression, had. Like most parents, you're determined that in addition to getting all the proper vita- In Areas sets of initials, ECO or E-A-X, to name two. In recent years, the all-elec tronic systems have made their appearance in some smaller communities. They are far beyond the early dial systems in development, just is the modern telephone instrument beyond the box-on-the-wall, crank type item which some can remember in grandmother's house. Electronic Exchange The first completely elec tronic tele phone exchange serving an entire community went into operation late last summer at Etna, N.Y. The system replaced an electro-1 mechanical system for the Dryden Telephone company, a subsidiary of the Independent Telephone corporation. It was : designed and manufactured by General Dynamics Tele communication of Rochester, N.Y., which said it could pro- ' vide unattended tele phone! service for up to 2,500 sub-! scribers. ! The makers are working at present on a much larger of fice capable of serving nearly 30,000 subscribers. They de scribed their phone systems as essentially special purpose computers. Last February, the Bell Sys tem concluded a field trial at Morris, III., of an electronic central office, or ECO. This system will go into its first scale operation by the middle of 1965 at Succasunna, N.J., a town of about 6,800 persons. On the basis of the Morris experiences, the Succasunna commercial venture had some components modified from the original and some redesigned. At Convention Automatic Electric compa ny, Northlake. 111., subsidiary of General Telephone and Electronics, introduced a new electro nic automatic tele phone exchange at the U. S. Independent Telephone asso ciation convention in Chicago late last month. Called E-A-X (elect r o n i c automatic exchange), it was designed for compatibi I i t y with electromechanical ex changes. It thus could replace a section of an existing ex change that Is being retired, or installed as an addition to one that is expanding; it oper ates side by side with existing dial cquipn ent using existing telephone instruments. It uses almost no moving parts. It will be field-tested in 1963 in the Portage Exchange of the General Telephone Company of Indiana, initially with 600 lines and capacity for 2,000 lines. It was in Indiana also that the world's first dial ex change was installed, by Auto matic Electric at LaPortc 70 years ago. Common Characteristics These systems have com mon characteristics. They can "remember" phone numbers which are oft en used; memory devices store these, and a subscriber need use only two numbers to dial them. The storage can be changed at any time. They can forward calls. A person leaving his regular number can, by dialing a code number, and then the number of the phone where he can be reached later, have calls automatically transferred. Either calling parly can dial a third party into a call without going through an op erator. Calls to a "busy" number cither will be held automatic ally and without redialing, or will give a signal which will indicate that another call is waiting to the busy circuit. First National To Distribute Checks Portland - The Christmas season will start this week for 31,000 Oregonians when the postman delivers first Na tional Bank of Oregon Christ mas club checks totalling $.'), 100,000, according to Ralph J. Voss, president of the state wide institution. The amount is a new all time record distribution, top ping last year's First National Christmas club savings mark by $700,000. Tho checks to be mailed from First National's 89 of fices throughout the stale will include the amount saved regularly during the past year, plus a total of over $40,000 in interest. Christmas club mem bers will have an opportuni ty to complete their Christmas shopping before the normal Yule season rush begins, the banker declared. Economic mins your child never will know the torment of economic insecurity. But did you know your at tempts to immunize the off spring against economic inse curity can make him grow up without knowing the value of the penny earned? He won't only think money grows on trees. He'll believe it. Coddled Kids Sociologists more and more express fears about young sters with a blind spot about money. They call them cod dled kids. They preach that it isn't bad for a youngster to help earn his keep or a bike or tuition. They're concerned that too many youngsters get what they want when they want it and primarily by the sweat of dad's brow. The Horatio Alger stories about depression kids who had to help bring home the bacon tell what happens when youngsters have a chance to help solve a family's econom ic headaches. One of these, Philip J. Sa gona, had economic insecuri ty from the time he was eight. 4 lllffit .Wifit iO V; Toilet Seal Congoleum 1 pfTTT " '.'". T.'

Borrowed $30 At age eight, Sagona bor rowed $30 from a local candy store operator and built four shoeshine stands in Brooklyn, N. Y. He hired four neighborhood youngsters to man them. Sun day was the best shine day, bringing in a gross of $50. The candy store owner got 10 per cent, the shine boys were paid S3 each and young Sagona pocketed the rest. In high school, St. John's prep, Sagona turned a tidy buck as athletic instructor in a neighborhood youth center. He made the basketball team and was named All-American in his senior year. Let Dunham's Help You PREPARE FOR WINTER! AT THE BIG Y SHOPPING CENTER THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1962 May Prove I Upon graduation, the kid I who had to work when he was j eight was offered 22 college j athletic scholarships, i While going to college he continued working to meet his family's obligations. By j the time he was 20, he was earning $10,000 a year. "Economic insecurity was the best thing that ever hap : pened to me," Sagona said in 1 an Interview "But I didn't mope about it. 1 had a plan and I work- cd my plan." j From the lime he was 14, , Sagona made a list every night and went over it. It was a list of the things he must do to succeed. Proper Education Each night he wrote: "Must achieve a goal; must stay close to God; must support Mom. "Must achieve a goal to bring success, does nol matter how much money is made by this success but have achieve ment . "Must get proper educa tion; must get athletic scholar ship to high school; must go to college; must always be re B 9 Harmful spectful, sincere and humble. "Must be an outstanding athlete, must get a scholarship to college; must help all tho family; must gain everyone's respect; must earnestly work hard to achieve the best of my abilities." The once underprivileged kid today is president of La come Inc., a cosmetic firm. He wants to buy other corpor ations. To youngsters aiming for success, he suggests: Write down on paper in order of importance the things and conditions your really want. Do not be afraid of want ing too much. Change the list daily un til you have it right. Read the list three times each day. Think of what you want as often as possible. "The method of accomplish ment will unfold quite as mysteriously as the car o corn appears on the stalk and, in some cases, sooner than you expect," said the almost millionaire who has been mak ing his living since he was eight.
