Computer men are taking a close look at girls I under- (!

for the electrical charges released by young ladies. .
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.
In the field of human engineering, the study of the
dynamics of the man-machine interface, where the efforts
of man and machine converge, is arousing intense interest

Over-exposure to the hot sun
can cause burns, as almost every-
one has found out. Less known
is the fact that continued over-
exposure over a period of years
can cause the skin to look weath-
erbeaten, wrinkled, leathery and
coarse in texture.
The time of day of exposure
is important. The burning ultra-
violet rays are most intense from
11 a.m. to 2 P.m. No sunburn is

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. The overwhelming majority of the common
men questioned answered, "a common woman."
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.
A study of hospital patients in California, says the
wine men's tireless publicity man, indicates that hospital
patients will be far happier during illness and convales-
cence if they are served wine with their meals.
Add violin music, candles and topless nurses and our
hospitals will be livelier than most of the state's nightspots.
A new product for dogs, "People Crackers," is now on

Household work will be a thing of the past for women
of the future, Atomic Energy C,ommission Chairman Glenn
T. 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."
Said Seaborg, "Those houses that don't have a robot
in the broom closet could have a live-in ape."

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.

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 ! !
