W ATKINS iaf Mtr ind Tiibunt) Microscopic 'Eels' (irowlng In Most Kitchen Cuphonrtls You would hardly believe it, but there is some mysterious "goings - on" right now in one of your kitchen cupboards with in the glass walls of a vinegar bottle a peculiar chain of events thai narallel the hanpeninos as recorded in the story of the Arabian Nights. Even the lamp of the Genie could never have conjured stranger magic. The bottle sits quietly on the kitchen shelf in a glass contain er holding a few ounces of an amber colored, sour liquid used for flavoring cabbage, salads, or preserving cucumber pickles. Nothing about it would indicate the strange tumult taking place within the glass walls. Vinegar itself Is not so mys terious; it is the most common and most universally useo oi , all the so-called condiments. Chemically it is acetic acid di-j luled with water.

Parkhurst, Hughes Aircraft Corporation consultant, told the Medford Chamber of ; Commerce Roundlable Monday. American industry and ingen uity have responded to the cry to produce more "things," to possess more "things," and to be able to use more "things," Parkhurst continued. The era when this country con centrates on the production of things to use is drawing to a close. What industry is now rec ognizing is the natural resource of man, Parkhurst said. It is necessary now more than ever before to emphasize the humanities in education, wheth er it is in public schools and colleges or in industry, "With out it," he said, "we may de stroy ourselves." Retired Vice President Parkhurst, a retired vice pres ident of Hughes Aircraft Corpor ation who has been retained as a special consultant, prefaced his presentation with a film about Hughes Aircraft Corpora tion, which showed how indus try is now concentrating on peo ple not machines.

From 1918 until about seven years ago, he was connected with an industry which had as its ultimate aim the destruc tion of segments of mankind, he noted. He said he has been influ enced by two men Arnold Toynbee, historian, and the late President John F. Kennedy. Benefits Distributed Toynbee, in an essay, wrote that the 20th century will be remembered as the first time in history that the benefits of mankind have been distributed to all people, not for its jet air craft, the Salk vaccine, its wars, or products from the atom, Parkhurst continued. Kennedy 'often indicated that he was proud of the creation of the Peace Corps, a unit of peo ple which has as its main goal the distribution of information to the people of the world. Communication of information to people was the subject of Parkhurst's talk, "Visual - Son ics," which brings together the fundamental means of commu nication, sight and sound. "Vis ual - sonics arrests knowledge and information in point of time, to enable us to see and to know it," he said. For the first time, Parkhurst continued, communication is possible to all levels of people. Demonstrates Machine The machine he demonstrated, a Hughes product, is the result of more than $5 million in re search. Programmed lessons are put on tapes and slides, and are synchronized to operate simul taneously. Lessons are made up beforehand and can be used as many times as necessary. The effectiveness of the ma chine was demonstrated by Parkhurst in relating an experi ment conducted at Aberdeen Training Grounds, where 20,000 men were being taught com plex electronics by about 1,200 instructors. Taking the lower 10 per cent of the trainees who would nor mally wash-out, the men were Strawberry Price Agreements Reached SALEM (UPI)-A three-year agreement nn strawberry prices for growers has been announced by Birds Eye Division of Gen eral Foods and the Oregon Washington Vegetable Growers Association.

The test scores of the trainees in both programs indicated the superiority of the machine over the instructors, Parkhurst stat ed. The average score for the ones in the visual-sonics pro gram was 97 per cent, com pared to 87 per cent by the oth ers, he said. In one-half the time, he continued, a person can learn five times as much, and retain it longer than someone not using the machine. Teach Molecular Theory Another example of the visual sonics method was teaching the molecular theory, involving evaporation and condensation of water, to first graders. It is a matter of record, he said, that the youngsters learned and un derstood the theory. Hughes has explored the func tion of visual-sonics in industry and military defense, but the fields of education and com merce have yet to be studied. UCLA, however, has been grant ed $60,000 from the Ford Foun dation to do research on the use of visual-sonics in education, he said. The Rogue Valley can benefit and use the visual-sonics pro gram, he said, in all sizes of businesses, and possibly in the schools. Its use can save man agers and businessmen time and money spent in repetitious in structions and training pro grams for employes. What tile Rogue Valley needs is men to program and to use visual-sonics. He assured the audience that he and Hughes will cooperate with local busi nesses in training personnel and in an advisory capacity. Many companies on the West Coast are already taking advantage of Hughes's offer. 4-H NEWS Talent Bummers The Talent Bummers 4-H Sheep Club heid its monthly meeting Dec. 8, at the home of Billy Bagley, at 2 p.m. There was no old business discussed.

The work on the famous "bub- bletop" presidential Continental is being done at a rord Motor Co. experimental garage in su burban Dearborn. But Ford of ficials and the Secret Service declined to comment. However, sources said the limousine in which Kennedy was killed and Texas Gov. John Con nally was wounded in Dallas Nov. 22 was brought to Dear born under a cloak of secrecy last week. Work Being Done It was learned that the fol owing work is being done: A new windshield has been installed, lending credence to reports the old one was dam aged in the shooting. Springs and shock absorb ers have been strengthened so the car can carry an additional 1,600 pounds of bullet proof armor plate. The brakes also have been stiffened and the exhaust sys tem reworked to accommodate the heavier load. New trim and carpeting have been installed in the back seat where Kennedy was riding when he was shot. The arrival of the car here was the first indication that President Johnson planned to use the 21-foot special limousine in which his predecessor died.

To Be Bulletproofed That will be done later this week when the car is shipped to the Hess and Eisenhardt cus tom body firm in Cincinnati. The Ohio firm did the original special body work on the car two years ago. The last bulletproof presiden tial limousine was the "Sunshine Special" used by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The presidential Continental and an earlier presidential Lin I coin used by Former President ! Dwight D. Eisenhower had plas tic domes or "bubbletops" , they were known. I The top was not in place when Kennedy was shot. It was not bulletproof but some ballistics experts believed the fatal shots might have been deflected if the top had been in use.
