FALL AND RISE OF THE 'NABES'. Things are looking up for the 'nabes' neighbor
hood movie theatres al ter some dismal years, movie attendance soared to an average of
some 83 million a year ana in tue prosperous post-war years of 1948-48 reached an all-time
annual peak of 90 million. But then, with the advent of television, began a slow decline. At
tendance dipped to 70 million in 1949 and continued falling until an all-time low of 39.8
million was recorded in 1958. The number of 'nabes' naturally fell also from a high of
20,487 in 1948 to around 16,000 in '58. Many neighborhood theatres were converted into
bowling alleys and supermarkets. The year 1959, however, began a revival for the industry
and attendance rose to 41.9 million. The number of movie theatres has Increased from that
year, too rising from 18,000 in '58 to more than 21,000 today.
A decline in television viewing is partially responsible for this upswing in movie fortunes.
Many viewers have become restless with the monotony of Western series, old re-runs and
ancient movies. The growth of drive-in theatres Is another factor. Numbering Just 95 in
1941, drive-ins now toial more than 3,000. If America is a nation on wheels, a good
many of these wheels are parked in drive-in theatres, states the Herald Tribune. Also
spwking the upswing: reduced rates for movie goers over 60, a higher rate of teenage
attendance, better movies.

COLORED APPLIANCES SCORING SALES HIT. Color in appliances in becoming more
and more popular, reports National Furniture Review magazine. "White pure, sanitary,
clean and sparkling is no longer in fashion in some areas." One leading manufacturer
advises that about 33 of its refrigerators and some 20 of its ranges, washers and dryers
are soia in coior. lenow ana copper are most popular with turquoise and pink following
close behind. NFR suggests that dealers display as many appliances as possible in color.
'You can always sell white from color. Obviously the reverse is not true . . . Stress color
at the price of white. Let the public know they can have the newest in fashion. Stir the
imagination of your consumers."

MORE THAN ONE MILLION ZENITH black and white television sets were sold last year,
the fourth consecutive year In which Zenith sales have passed the million dollar mark,
according to Leon Evans, manager of Eads Furniture at 123 South Front street. Company
officials expressed the conviction that this continuing public acceptance of Zenith TVs is
proof that the hand-crafted, hand-wired chassis is an unqualified success.
The policy ot handcraftsmanshtp, which has made Zenith widely popular, will be continued
by the company, Evans said. Only improvements will be made in Zenith receivers which
may, in the future, contribute to improved reception and longer life.

Submariners Discuss Under
Water Navy at Roundtable
A pair of U. S. Navy sub
mariners, tempora r 1 1 y de
tached from duty aboard the
nuclear submarine USS
Snook, addressed the Medford
Chamber of Commerce Round
table luncheon Monday as
part of an effort to inform the
public about the modern sub
marine service in the wake of
the loss of the Thresher with
its entire crew several weeks
ago.
The men, Lt. (jg) Paul Car-
win, reactor control officer
for the Snook, and Chief Petty
Officer Robert Hatfield have
been assigned to appear be
fore various student and civic
groups in the state to act as
an "information service" for
the commander of the sub
marine fleet- In the Pacific
area.
Lieutenant Carwin recalled
that the Navy asked the Atom
ic Energy commission in 1947
to design a nuclear reactor
suitable for powering sub
marines. In 1949, the nuclear
propulsion program was be
gun under the command of
Adm. Hyman Rickover.
Keel Being Laid
Shortly thereafter a nucle
ar reactor was built and test-
ed in Idaho Falls, while at the
same time in New London,
Conn., the keel of the first
atomic powered submarine,
the USS Nautilus, was being
laid
So far, the Naval officer
said, Congress has authorized
construction of 78 nuclear sub
marines, and of that number
about half are "already in the
water." He predicted that by
the end of the summer, about
one new submarine each
month will be launched. Half
ot them will be the missile
carrying type, he said, and the
other half will be of the hunt
er-killer type.
Lieutenant Carwin said a
man must train "long and
hard' to become a member of
the crew of a nuclear sub
marine. Fully a year and a
half is devoted to training in
the technical trades associated
with nuclear pnwer.
Basic Submarine School
Included in that program is
eight weeks of basic subma
rine school, followed by six
months nf studying nuclear
power at either Bainbridge.
M., or Marc Island, Calif.
Another training period fol
lows aboard a dry-land sub
marine, where the man is

shipboard sea going operations.
After the l'j year training
period is completed, the, man

marine (either missile or hunt
er-killer) or he is assigned to
assist in some phase of the
construction of new subma
rines. Chief Hatfield, a veteran of
20 years' service aboard sub
marines, displayed a 2'4-foot
model of the USS Plunger, a
sister ship of the Thresher,
and a craft of the hunter
killer type.
Speaks About Design
The chief spoke briefly
about the design of the sub
marine, which was developed
to track down and destroy en
emy Naval vessels, particu
larly submarines. The hull
shape has evolved from the
early tear-drop form to that
of the Plunger, which looks
much like a thin, elongated
zeppelin,
In the new design, the bow
planes, which control the ele
vation and depression of the
craft, have been moved to the
sail, or the conning tower, as
it used to be called.
A single stern propeller has
been readopted for the hunter
killer type, the chief said,
which cuts down on noise con
siderably. The Polaris missile carrying
submarines have a similar ap
pearance, Chief Hatfield said,
but are longer and somewhat
"fatter' across the top. They
comprise one-third of the en
tire submarine force, and
were constructed at a cost of
$2 billion.
The first missile submarine,
the USS George Washington,
became operational in 1960, a
full three years ahead of
schedule.
But the real "backbone" of
the submarine service is still
the conventional type of un
dersea craft, many of them
having been converted from
their World War II condition.
About 50 to 60 such subs are
held in reserve in the moth
ball fleet, he said.
