BARDER United Fret International Washington - WPI) - A gadget which enabled 36-year-old as tronaut L. Gordon Cooper to flv ftraight to target may some day help build a cheap er an better home. It's already being used ex perimentally to produce more uniform steel and glass. The gadget is the horizon sensor. It told Cooper, wheth er he was flying true in space. Before his re-entry into the atmosphere he used the sen sor to determine his space capsule's position in relation to the horizon. The informa tion enabled him to correct his' "attitude" to the required degrees. But the horizon sensor is nothing more than a measur ing device, using infra-red ele ments sensitive to hot and cold. And as a measuring de vice, a steel firm is testing the space gadget to increase the efficiency of steel produc tion. Measures Hot Steel The infra-red sensor meas- Sunday, June 16 J17 I.

Heretofore, it was neces sary to take the hot steel to a cooling room before measure ment. Frequently, assembly lines had to be shut down overnight to await the infor mation before adjustment could be made. With the infra-red sensor, delays fire no longer neces sary.

Jenkins, former publisher and editor of the Klamath Falls Herald and News, now writes a column for that pa per which also appears in the Medford Mail Tribue and the Roseburg News - Review. He also serves as ci-airman of the tourist information commit tee of the tourist and travel division of the state highway department. More than 9 million tour ists visted Oregon last year and brought with them some $217 million in new dollars to bolster the state's econo my, Jenkins said. Have to Stop Them "But the great problem," he said, "is that each tourist who came spent an average of only 2.93 days in the state. What we've got to do is to stop them as they go past." He offered several sugges tions on how to get visitors to stay in the state longer, among them a billboard pro gram and special fishing areas for children. He suggested placing a bill board somewhere south of Redding advising motorists thai they are entering the "State of Jefferson," follow ed up with billboards at each community along the high ways listing things to do and see in that area. Would Be Expensive He admitted that such a program would be expensive to undertake, however, and suggested the fishing pond for children idea as a less costly possibility. Lakes or streams could be stocked with a plentiful supply of easy-to-catch inedible fish not nor mally sought after by adult fisherman, he said. Three out of every five tourist cars that came into the state last year carried children, he pointed out, pre dicting that if such fishing areas were set up and prop erly promoted, the children in many of these cars would plead with their parents to will eliminate the need to me chine edge his products and thus reduce costs, perts are convinced that the new methods have a potential for widespread use through out the welding industry-for boiler making, for automobile production and repair, among other things. One new method was to use what is known as a three-M refractory tape for welding which practically eliminated spillage and spoilage. The Huntsville people not only found it was more efficient inaugurated a scries of publi cations which will distribute such information to the indus trial world. The first was labeled weld ing tips. It tells of new, im proved welding methods de veloped at the agency's Mar shall Space Flight Center at Huntsville, Ala.

Jenkins also suggested that tourist traffic could be great ly increased if every resident of southern Oregon wrote to I an out-of-state friend and in ' vited him to come for a visit. mm o Mite DQ METAL O 6 e-T t - 5 tiUAKAiMI.il 'Z rmranieed lo cover any i 'Z . t . r.r llirfl1 1 7.- coal ... - ,. grectioru, or we will furnish, free.-; cnoufh additional paint lo aure tot- ? erase, or rclund we purrnaw eft"" r Non-Chalking Trim Paint 798 V Gallon 5cars Low, Low Price Ideal for painting trim as well an larpe erean, because there's no chalking onto surfaced below, r'ifrhla fume, amog, gaie and mildew.

That's technical language for an electronic gadget which guides a welding torch accu rately along a seam separat ing two pieces of metal, and guides it with amizing accu racy. The agency says the tracking error is "less than the width of a fine pen line even when there is a poor fit between the working parts of the seam." A leading farm manufac turer is checking into the use of the device. He believes it Americans Work Hard To Save Extra Labor New York -HTD- Building statistics show that Americans are working hard to save steps. More and more houses are being built on one floor-no upstairs - according t o Wil liam J. Levitt, president of Levitt and Sons, Inc. He aid nine out of every 10 now homes built today are of the one-story type while of exist ing homes only 75 per cent are single-level. Some of the off-shoot de velopments were unexpected and surprising. At the Jet Propulsion lab oratory in Pasadena, Calif., a solid propellant fuel was be ing developed in a star-shaped mold. However, the fuel was sticky and wouldn't come away away clean fom te mold. Con ventional lubricants couldn't clean from the mold. Con inated the propellant. The laboratory tried out a sub stance known as F-E-P which is very much like teflon, used to coat frying pans so that food won't stick to the uten sil. It worked perfectly. Many Uses The substance also worked for a hat manufacturer who found that, with use of the coating, felt wouldn't stick to hat molds. The agency be lieves the idea also will be practical for furniture manu facturers, and plywood plants. One big development com ing along is the use of dry lubricants for moving parts in space. The agency believes developments with dry lubri cants will be of great benefits to the bearing industry. But the "earthly" develop ments of space research are not confined to industrial use. Practically every known science is Involved, including medicine. One device being worked on now is expected to become a research tool for study of the heart. With long trips coming up in space, NASA is trying to develop an electrode which astronauts can wear for prolonged periods to ob tain cardiographs. Present electrodes cause skin irrita tions when used for more than brief periods. Once developed, physicians will be able to have patients wear the elec trodes day after day to study heart reaction during normal activity. Aids Health The agency also is con vinced that much of its re search on air, water and waste disposal will be useful, not only to astronauts, but to pub lic health here on earth. Some NASA discoveries are found to be useless for space, but can be used on earth. One gadget may make speech at political conventions cheap as well as plentiful. The device was developed in an attempt to overcome the brief radio communications blackout en countered when an as'ronaut is coming down from space. A space scientist figured out a cheap method of using a. ray of light plus a corner re fleeter for voice transmit, sion. It won't work for ths astronaut But the so-called "retrometer" is expected to ba extremely useful for commu nication in noisy plants or at large meetings, such as politi cal conventions.
