According to the Michigan Typesetting Company, where a million-dollar typesetting computer system is be-. ing installed, a girl wearing nylon underclothes can "bomb out" the electrical brain. It seems that nylon generates static electricity. While it takes as much as 3,000 volts for a person to feel a shock, the computer bombs out (erases the program) at only 500 volts. Therefore, explains Robert Levison, vice-president, girls who work on the new computer at Michigan Type- setting will be asked to wear cotton unmentionables.

One design engineer predicts that the day will come when "seat of the pants" control of a crane or lift truck, for .example, will be exactly that. The seat, he believes, could contain devices tied in with the machine's system. The signal would feed back from the system to the operator in the form of a nudge, a tingle, or possibly a light shock. We hope the design engineer will check with the folks at Michigan Typesetting before he places his first elec- tronic seat under a lift truck operator wearing nylon shorts. According to an unreliable source, the federal govern- ment has just completed an exhaustive study at the behest of President Johnson to find out what the common man wants most.

If medical men follow the advice of this country's wine growers, the United States may soon have the swing- ingest hospitals in the world.

Seaborg predicted. In the 21st Century, said Seaborg, a Nobel prize-winning scientist, practically every woman will have a maid. It will be an unusual maid, however, one who can be plugged in and unplugged. "She will be shaped like a box and have one large eye on top, several arms and hands and long ,narrow pads on each side for moving about," said Seaborg. The automat- ed maid will be able to wash windows, sweep, vacuum and dust simultaneously, and even pick up the husband's clothing." For the housewives who don't have an automated maid, Seaborg forecast a fascinating alternative---"trained apes who will perform manual labor such as gardening or chauffeuring the family's nuclear-charged autorrmbile."

Capitol dome: Wets and drys both unhappy with liquor decision By ROBERT C. CUMMINGS • The State Liquor Control Board, in making its ruling on Sunday liquor, came as close to a middle-of-the-road decision as it was possible to get. It left both extremities unhappy--those who oppose any Sunday liquor sales and those who wanted the same Sunday hours as prevail on the other six days of the week. The general public, however, appears to be satisfied. Its think- ing, too, is probably "nddle- road" on this issue. The new hours are more than many ex- pected to get. As late as two years ago, many of them would have been satisfied with just an extension of the Saturday mid- night closing hours. NON-DISCRIMINATORY In granting the same privileges to all licensees, the board made a wise decision. If it had per- mitted Sunday liquor sales only by those who serve food, as had been suggested in some quarters, it would have discriminated against beer, which is considered the temperance drink. It also would have discriminated against grocery stores, which form the principal retail outlet for the packaged product. SATURDAY NIGHT COMEBACK August 19, which is the effec- tive date of the new Sunday hours, comes on a Saturday. It probably will signal a "come- back" which will return Satur- day night "into its own" as THE night to go "out on the town." The 1909 blue laws, along with other developments, had convert- ed most cities and towns in this state into "Friday night towns;" at least for the past ten years. The changeover was gradual. Wen the week-night closing time was 1 a.m., it didn't make so much difference. After the Liquor Board extended this to 2 a.m. in 1957, however, that extra hour was something else. ELBOW BENDERS STARTED IT There had been a gradual switch from Saturday to Friday nights prior to 1957, but prior to 1949, virtually all cities and towns in this state had been "Saturday night towns." It all started with liquor by the drink, though the five-day week made it practical. Before 1949, hard liquor con- sumption was perndtted only in clubs, and sold through the pur- chase of script. Clubs, as pri- vate operations, were permitted to set their own hours. For those who didn't belong to a private club, there "were "bottle clubs" in most cities which also kept their own hours. These were il- legal, but nobody seemed to both- er the better-run operations, and they were virtually "wide-open." B. Y. O. L. Customers brought their own bottles, paid a cover charge, which usually paid for live mu- sic, and the club served mixers and ice at a marked-up price. The best-known hotel in the state had an operation like this in one of its largest ballrooms every Saturday night, and there was dancing and drinking to 3 a.m. Sunday. When liquor-by-the-drink came in, private clubs were required to keep the same hours as pub- lic cocktail lounges. Most of the better bottle clubs qualified for cocktail licenses, and in order to keep them, also maintained hours prescribed by the Liquor Board. That meant a virtual midnight curfew on Saturdays, and that's when people first start- ed to discover Friday. The Sunday afternoon hours, BE MY GUEST, BUT PLEASE... Only YOU can prevent forest fires from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., will result in even total abstainers having more places to "eat out" on Sundays. Some of the rcstaur- ant operators aren't to() happy about these hours. They wanted to keep their bars ()pen longer. Despite all the grumbling, how- ever, many who now close on Sunday will open up; some of them reluctantly. Others may try staying closed for a while, but if they see much Sunday business going to their competi- tors, it won't take them long to open up, to(). SHY ON CASH With the 1967-69 biennium scarcely started, there remains less than $2 million from a $10 struction needs of the state's com- munity colleges during the cur- rent two years. The Legislature had already earmarked all ex- cept $2.5 million for four colleges, Seattle, Edmonds, Bellevue and Clover Park; plus $250,000 for material and equipment at Walla Walla. Before the new biennium start- ed, the newly-created State Board for Community College Educa- tion approved an emergency grant of $585,250 out of the $2.5 million balance to Olympic Col- lege at Bremerton. The action was opposed by the Washington Association of Community Col- leges, which urged against any allocations until the capital needs of all community colleges could be considered, and priorities es- tablished. million legislative appropriation to take care of the capital con- Olympic College's grant was for a project which had been authorized previously by the State Board of Education. It stood to lose $827,377 in federal and local matching funds if the state allocation wasn't approved before July 1. Senator Frances Morgan Bremerton, and Repre- sentative R. W. Beck, Port Or- chard, supported the college's contention that it was the intent of the Legislature that priority should be given to community college projects which had been authorized before enactment of the new community college law. TIMBER Despite shutdowns of pulp mills recently, sales of state-owns d timber last month were the larg- est of the year. More than 136 million board feet were sold at bids exceeding $3.5 million. It brought total state sales for the past fiscal year up to more than $20 million• Log exports could be a major factor in the heavy sales. The parcels sold were located in 20 of the state's 39 counties, and in virtually every section of the state : Clallam, Cowlitz, Ferry, Grays Harbor, Island, Jefferson, King, Klickitat, Mason, Okano- tan, Pacific, Pend Oreille, Ska- git, Skamania, Snohomish, Thurs- ton, Wahkiakum, Whatcom and Yakima. DEBT AND SURPLUS GROW The state's general fund sur- plus is topping $100 million for this biennium, regardless of whose figures you use, but the state's bonded indebtedness could top the $1 billion figure before the current biennium, ends. The outstanding debt stood at $410 million at last report. Previous- ly authorized but unsold bonds, plus $481 million in revenue and limited obligation bonds author- ized by the 1967 Legislature total nearly 567 million, which would bring the figure close to the $1 billion mark. On top of that, another $128,059,000 in general obligation bonds were authorized which still need approval of the voters in the 1968 general elec- tion. It is possible all won't be sold before the end of the biennium, but they could be. time of day for sunburn. Rays reflected from sand or water can hurn, even though you may not be directly exposed. Individual sensitivities differ• You must to some extent learn for yourself how much sun you can tolerate. A general guide for most persons, assuming that previously untanned white skin is exposed about noon, is: First day, expose skin to sun for 15 to 20 minutes• This means 15 to 20 minutes each on face and back. Second day, increase exposure by one-third, to a little less than half an hour on each side. Third day, again increase ex- posure by one-third--to 30 or 40 minutes. Anti so on. By the fourth day, a new pig- ment should begin to darken your skin. In a week you should have enough skin thickening and pigmentation to give considerable protection against burning sun- shine. 1Yost of the suntan lotions con- tain chemicals called sun-screens, which absorb various w a v e By CHESTER GUEST ,• "Come Fly With Me," invited Frank Sinatra in a song some years back. ' .... But most Americans hesitated, and many of them never did accept Frankie's gracious offer. "Can't afford it," said some. "Too far'to the airport," said others. "I'm in no hurry," said anoth- er group. "I'll take the train, or drive." Some of these reasons were valid, but most of them were ali- bis. The truth is, a large per- centage of the American public is afraid to fly. And even among those millions who do fly, stewardesses report abundant white knuckles clutch- ing seat armrests all the way from takeoff to landing. A friend explained his fear of flying to me one day recently, after having read in the news- paper about the crash of a jet airliner: "It's not the fall that bothers me so much," he said. "It's that sudden stop at the bottom." Even though this fear of fly- ing is well-known, airlines ignore it. It is an unspoken fact of life, a conversational taboo. When it comes to acknowledging their passengers' very natural fear, airlines have their head in the sand. Until recently, that is. Early this year Pacific Airlines, a little west coast concern, began a shocking advertising campaign, created by one of the funniest and most creative men in the advertising-satire business, Stan Freberg. Traveling teacher finds jet set doesn't get much sleep over (Ed note: The following story was deciphered from scribbled notes received from Dea Tar- rach, Shelton teacher, who is on a tour of Europe.) • "Hi-- it's still me, your cap- tain, we're still circling Phillips- burg, Pennsylvania, 37,000 feet, 560 miles an hour, the outside temperature is 57 degrees below zero." Those were the familiar words we were to hear for over one and a half hours. It seems in this age of speed, the airports didn't keep pace; you have to wait your turn. But patience is patience-- 1 hours to land in New York. We circled Philllpsburg, Pittsburg, and New York before landing. For you jet set travelers it's great to go by jet! They serve marvelous meals, coffee, water and champagne. Kennedy airport is very large, and we had to go by taxi, from one concourse to another to catch Air France. Air France is billed as the world's largest airline network. When you step aboard it's news- papers (free!), candy (free!), gum (free!) before departing. A meal of veal, peas, hard rolls, and some other French dishes (coffee, tea or milk!) and a movie that is presented free in three versions-- English, French, or silent soundtrack. We chose the latter, as earphones, accord- ing to our impressive sounding international agreement like the Geneva convention, cost $2.50. Sleep is hard to come by to the international set. Most watched the movie, entitled "Any Wednesday." I elected to try to sleep, and got about 40 minutes. A strange phenomenon occured over the Atlantic; it was dark, yet in the Northwest it was around 6 p.m. We flew into the surxise, with only around 4 hours of darkness. At the end of the movie, it was orange juice and cold water. Thirst sets in on the plane worse than the middle of a desert. It must be related to the air con. ditioning. We arrived over Ireland at 11 p.m., Pacific Northwest time, but 8 a.m. Irish time and fog forced us to stay aloft for 45 minutes. This gave us a great opportunity to see Ireland from the air. We passed over the same air corridor some 20 times. That little fence down there grew monotonous. Finally we landed at Shannon Airfield in Limerick, Ireland. This airfield, in case you didn't know, was dedicated by Presi- dent John Kennedy a few years ago. It seems his relatives were from around here. (The follow- ing nmrning after our arrival, Mrs. John Kennedy was due to arrive and set up a summer residence in a nearby castle, so the airport was a "tizzy" for her arrival.) We began to encounter money problems here as it is English pounds, shillings, pennys, half pence, tuppence, etc. I had our old converter out and madly added the price of our breakfast. Surprise, we were able to pay for it accurately! The flight from Ireland is about 1% hours to I.ndon by turbo- prop plane. We had the pleasure of having a truly delightful Irish colleen sit next to us. We ex- changed ideas and information. She informed us that television is big in Ireland. The current bill of fare on Irish TV's is: "The Man From Uncle," "The Avengers," Father Knows Best," "The Honeymooners," "Dean Martin," to name just a few. It was a turbulent landing at London as BEA airlines landed in steps and many of the pas- sengers were reaching for a "sack" just in case. At London, more customers and luggage-- and right here let me comment: Those suitcases gained weight ¢o a traveler in a weak* ened condition, such as I. Our travel agent did not have a rep- resentative to meet us, the air- port is 20 miles from town, and we weren't about to walk. No one seemed to know where the Overseas Club was located. We finally had a bright idea-- call them so eventually they arrived (about two hours later). Suitcases make very comfortable seats in a time of need! Three agents were sent to get us. They supposedly had a bus, but no one seemed able to find it. It seems the driver had lost the bus in the parking lot. (Lost a bus OH, MY GOD!). It could only happen in London. We finally tried our patience to the limits! They put us on a double-decker bus and motored us to another terminal where we were put in a taxi and taken to the hotel. Finally we might be able to relax for five minutes. The Madris Hotel was our stoP- ping point. The rooms contain a washbasin and a bed, and that's all! The toilet facilitie are on another floor and are about two feet square, and for a man of my proportions, they are virtually impossible ! ! Some sleep, and out on the i _ Page 4.
