You would hardly believe it,

The bottle sits quietly on the
kitchen shelf in a glass contain

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.

Hughes Aircraft1 Consultant
Discusses
"Giant corporations are not,
contrary to popular belief, cold
and impersonal creatures, but
they are interested in the indi
vidual, what motivates men and
what concerns individual men,"
Raymond B. 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.

Trend in Industry
Parkhurst pointed out that his
interest in the importance of
the individual is a result of his
training and experience.
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

taught with the aid of visual-
sonics the same information the
majority were taught by instruc
tors. 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.

OREGON
Presidential Auto
Being Fitted With
Bulletproof Glass
DETROIT (UPI), - The car
in which President Kennedy was
assassinated is being refitted
with bulletproof glass and ar
mor plate for use by President
Johnson.
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.
