The Immortal Story
and harnessed, with marvelous possibilities in the
Electronic Age.
LOOKING INTO THE FUTUKE
Just as radio has brought talking and tele
vision brings pictures into your home, the Elec
tronic Age will bring heat, light, taste, smell,
and perhaps memory and many other things.
Coal, oil, gas, and other natural resources will
be used for more valuable purposes instead of
being burned up. Tremendous changes are com
ing. We are as backward as when I was a boy
with only electric door bells!
Furthermore, I realize that 1 have not men
tioned the possibilities of atomic power and the
wonderful latent wealth in uranium oxide. Nor
gravity, being studied at New Boston, N. H. This
wou'd give free power to every farmer while the
hydrogen of the ocean could give free power to
every city. I hope we wiU recognize that these
gifts come from God Almighty, to whom we
should be very thankful.
P. S. A brochure outlining career opportunities
in electronics has Just been published. Entitled
“Electronics—Your Chance to Shape the Future”,
it is available from Electronic Industries Asso
ciation, 1721 De Sales Street, N. W., Washington

The Birtfi of Jesus
And it came to pass in those days, that
there went out a decree from Caesar Augus
tus, that all the world should be taxed. (And
this taxing was first made when Cyrenius
was governor of Syria). And all w’ent to be
taxed, every one into his own city. And
Joseph also went up from Gallilee, out of
the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the
city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house and lineage
of David); to be taxed with Mary his es
poused wife, being great with child. And so
it was, that, while they were there, the
days were accomplished that she should
be delivered. And she brought forth her
first-born son, and wrapped him in swad
dling clothes, and laid him in a manger; be
cause there was no room for them in the
inn.
The Visit of the Shepherds
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night. And, lo,
the angel of the Lord shone around about
them; and they were sore afraid. And the
angel said unto them, Fear not; for be
hold, I bring you good tidings of Great joy,
which shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord, And
this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger. And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men. And it came
to pass, as the angels were gone away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said one
to another, Let us now go even unto Beth
lehem, and see this thing which is come to
pass, which the Lord hath made known to
us. And they came with haste, and found
Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in
a manger. And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning the child. And
all they that heard it wondered at those
things which were toM them by the shep
herds. But Mary kept all these things and
pondered them in her heart.
Tbt Visit of The Wise Men
Now when Jesue was born in Bethlehem
of Judea in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east
to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is
born King of the Jews? for we have seen
his star in the east, and are come to wor
ship him. When Herod the king heard
these things, he was troubled and all Je
rusalem with him. And when he had gath
ered all the chief priests and scribes of the
people together, he demanded of them where
Christ should be born. And they said unto
him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is
written by the prophet, And thou, Bethle
hem, in the land of Judea, are not the least
among the princes of Judea; for out of thee
shall come a Governor, that shall rule my
people Isreal. Then Herod, when he had
privily called the wise men, inquired of
them diligently what time the star appear
ed. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and
said, Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when ye have found him, bring
me word again, that I may come and wor
ship him also. When they had heard the
king, they departed and, k>, the star, which
they saw in the east, before them, till it
came and stood over where the young child
was.
And when they were come into the
house, they saw the young child with Mary
his mother, and fell down, and worshipped
him; and when they had opened their treas
ures, they presented unto him gifts; gold,
and frankincense, and myrrh.
The Flight Into Egypt
And when they were departed, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph
in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into
Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee
word: For Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him. When he arose, he took
the young child and his mother by night,
and departed into Egypt: And was there
until the death of Herod: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by
the prophet. Out of Egypt have I called
my son.
Babson Discusses
Electronics
Babson Park, Mass., December 20. If I were
now in high school and had a mechanical “fin
ger” I would learn all I could about electronics.
ELECTRICITY IN 1894
Mr. Edison had then only just invented his
incandescent bulb lamps so common today. There
was a “Gloucester Electric Co.” which had a
dynamo in the rear of a machine shop. It had
strung wires to prominent street
corners where a carbon lamp
hung to light the square. This
lamp consisted of two round car
bon "rods” which were renew
ed each morning by the one
employee of the little “com
pany”.
I then developed a tiny busi
ness of installing electric door
bells, working only on Satur
days. I used two “wet” bat
teries, which I located in the cellar of the home.
There were no "dry” batteries, or any kind of
electrical appliances such as washing machines
or electric irons. Radio and TV had not been even
dreamed of.
“WIRELESS” WAS UNKNOWN
The greatest invention in my youth was Mr.
Marconi’s sending of a message, or signal, with
out wires. This we read of in our daily news
paper, “The Bloucester Breeze”. In 1802 the
electric comany created by Mr. Edison joined
with that of Mr. Houston, starting the General
Electric Company in an old bowling alley at
Lynn, Mass. This company was then making
dynamos and other equipment for the new elec
tric light plants starting all over the United
States.
These plants used only direct electric current;
alternating current had not been invented for
use in transmission. My humpback friend,
Charles Steinmetz, was the first to make this
useful for transformers. Only then did the Elec
trical Age, which has since developed so tre
mendously, grow.
WHAT ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC AGE?
If any reader will take a 12” ruler and mark
off twelve electromagnetic bands, he will get the
secret of Electronics. The first known band at
the top will be 2” wide and contain the COSMIC
RAYS, which are the very shortest; these fill
the room in which you are now sitting. The sec
ond band will be about an inch wide and comes
from the SUNSPOTS. They are tricky and dan
gerous. The third band consists of X-RAYS such
as are used in hospitals tor taking pictures of
your insides. The fourth band is made un of
ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS. The above bands (ex
cept the first) would take about one inch each of
the "ruler”. Then we would have a band of
V ISIBLE LIGHT (the main band used in our
present great Electrical Age), only 1-8 inch wide.
The other bands are useful in the Electronic Age
which we are just entering.
Below is a band that represents the INFRA
RED RAYS, which are used to help those suffer
ing from arthritis and similar pains. Then we
come to two more important bands, each about
12 inch wide. Following these is the RADAR
hand, which is about 1 1-2 inches wide, although
we never heard of radar before World WarII.
This gives us nine bands using a total of 8 1-8
inches, of which only 1-2 inch was used before
World War II. Then follow the TELEVISION
and RADIO bands, and a band reaching out into
the unknown. Someday more will be discovered

Cynical
About 380 B. C., Antisthenes, a former pupil of
Socrates, founded a school philosophy in Athens,
Greece.
_ Antisthenes taught that virtue was the only good,
and virtue could be attained through self-control and
independence.
The new philosophy stressed the importance of
the individual and questioned many customs of so
ciety. In their contempt for the opinion of society,
the members of this new school of philosophy adopt
ed slovenly ways. Later the philosophy deteriorated
into a general protest of social customs.
Society held these men in great contempt and call
ed them “Cynics,” from the Greek word for dog.
From Cynic came the word “cynical,” which means
distrustful of the motives of others.
