ti who claims to
have photo

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.
I now realize that I was
merely indulging in psychic
photography and that the
people whose pictures I was
taking didn't happen to have

This is the look of thinRR to come in modern motor
car styling.
It's the 1963 Cadillac-a motor car so beautiful
and so tempting it is difficult to resist.
The new look in Cadillacs combine" formality and
youthfulness, majesty and vicor in a way that u
predictably trend-setting.
And it belongs to Cadillac alone. You won't

Of course, there's a great deal more than styling
in this new Cadillac that is worthy of emulation.
There are Cadillac's beautiful and luxurious new
interiors-and Cadillac's remarkable new pcrform-anee-and
Cadillac's unprecedented choice of per
sonal appointments and acccssories-and Cadillac's
unrivaled dependability and value.
Cadillac is now more clearly than ever before the
Standard of the World.
The thins to do is to see and drive one of the
twelve brilliant new models and get the whols
Cadillac story for 1M3. And for a full year at the
wheel, do it before another week goes by.

Transistors, Diodes
Replace Telephone
Operators
By JESSE BOGUE
UPI Financial Editor
New York - (UPli - There
was a time when telephone
connections were all ma le by
generally clear-voiced ladies
with comprehensible names
like Marge and Helen and
Frances.
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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
