rHome.../or Christmas
This Christmas I will be one of the fortunates. I'll be athome with my family. My wish is that you, too, will be homewith your family, thankful for the blessings of the season.
Through the years, man's universal hope and refuge hasbeen home and family. The symbol of the family—a mother,father and little child—not only depicts Christmas but is theultimate expression of peace, love and good will.
For some — the men and women of our Armed Forces —home and Christmas may seem far away this year, and thereare Librascope people among them. Some are fighting in thejungles of Vietnam; some maintain a vigil at a lonely outpostor aboard our Navy's ships at sea. They are making thissacrifice to help keep our homes secure.
To them, to you and your families, may I extend my warm-est wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.And as the season passes, may we all find our homes and ourfamilies a continuing source of warmth, understanding, loveand well being.

Cost SavingsRally, TopMonthly Goals
Cost Reduction/Cost Preven-tion program efforts ralliedsharply in September and Octo-ber, surpassing monthly goalsfor the first time since May.
Robert H. Smith, Group Con-troller and CR/CP program co-ordinator, announced cost sav-ings of $140,778 in Septemberand $161,248 in October. Thegoal was $140,000 for eachmonth.
Ahead of GoalTotal savings for the first 10
months of 1966 is $1,684,793,well ahead of the annual targetto date. Target for the year is$1,800,000.
Smith said the improved sav-ings record was the direct re-sult of renewed efforts by Manu-facturing, Engineering, Procure-ment and Administration em-ployees.
"But there are still areaswhere cost reduction/cost pre-vention improvements can bemade," he said.
Expresses Confidence"I'm confident we can reach
our annual goal if we do notbecome complacent about costsavings," he added.
To achieve the annual savingsgoal of $1.8 million, Librascopeemployees must submit another$115,207 in savings during No-vember and December.
The only thing harder thanbuying an expensive Christmasgift is paying it off on the easyinstallment plan.

Take Care! Fire HazardsAre Present at Christmas
Each year during the Christmas holidays stories of fire andtragedy become mixed with the joys of the season. In manycases fires are caused by holiday decorations and we shouldkeep a few simple rules in mind when decorating our homes.
1. Don't attach too many lightstrings to one outlet . . . and besure to check the strings forworn insulation or loose sockets.Remember, a blown fuse or cir-

2. Don't use lighted candleson the tree or other decorations.Be sure, too, that your tree iswell away from the fireplace orother sources of intense heat.
3. Keep the tree in waterfrom the time you bring it home.Before setting up the tree, makea fresh saw-cut across the baseof the trunk. Put water in thetree-holder and replenish itdaily. Remove the tree from thehouse immediately after theholidays.
4. Use flame resistant iciclesand tinsel. Even then, do notdrape such items over wires orlights.
5. Check new wiring for theUnderwriters Laboratory seal.
6. Don't leave fireplaces un-guarded. Use a screen to pre-vent sparks from escaping. Thisis especially important this timeof year when holiday paperwrappings become strewn about.

In Memoriam
Caroline M. PollinaCaroline M. Pollina, 50, a
production wireman with morethan 11 years of service atLibrascope, died September 13at Adventist Hospital in Glen-dale. She had been ill for sometime.
A native of Rochester, NewYork, Miss Pollina moved to theLos Angeles area in 1955 andjoined Librascope's manufactur-ing department that same year.
Swiss Technicians at OTCRockville, Md. - Ulrich Hol-
liger, recently arrived fromSwitzerland, joins the growingSwiss clan of optics craftsmenat Librascope's Optics Tech-nology Center.
OTC's other Swiss techniciansinclude Carl Lambrecht, super-visor of Optical Fabrication andCoating, and Rudy Schatzmann,Production Engineering Man-ager.
Holliger's employment atOTC is a direct result of re-cruiting efforts by Schatzmann,and, during a recent vacation inhis native Switzerland, the PEManager was able to interestseveral other skilled opticalcraftsmen in the idea of comingto the United States.
Holliger specializes in thedifficult final hand-polishing ofoptical elements of complexgeometry. He is from the Can-ton of Aargau where he com-pleted a four-year apprentice-ship and worked several years
for Kern & Co., Ltd., manufac-turers of precision geodetic andphotogrammetric instruments.
Three more of Schatzmann'sSwiss recruits are expected toarrive at OTC soon.

'66 Christmas Card FundTo Aid Retarded Children
Librascope's halls and wallsThe big green posters of theare everywhere and the whiteornaments this year.
The Christmas Card Charityprogram is the annual charitableevent that replaces the one-timeholiday card exchange by em-ployees.
Sponsored by the Precision-eers, the program features Christ-mas tree posters decorated byemployee contributors. Each or-nament placed on a tree repre-sents a donation to charity.
For Retarded ChildrenFunds collected this year will
be donated to the Burbank Re-tarded Children's Center to pro-vide training and care for men-tally retarded children.
"This is a most worthy char-ity," said Pat Hansen, Precision-eers representative (Bldg. 15)and chairman of the 1966Christmas Card Charity Com-mittee.
Committee MembersIn addition to Chairman Han-
sen, the committee includesMan Molfe. Precisioneers Rep-resentative — Bldg. 1, and SteveJackman, Precisioneers Repre-sentative — Bldg. 17.
Social SecurityTax Going Up
More Social Security taxes(PICA) will be deducted fromyour pay in 1967, beginningwith the first paycheck in Jan-uary. The tax, which wasboosted to 4.2 per cent of thefirst 86,600 of employee earn-ings in 1966, goes up to 4.4 percent next year.
The Social Security amend-ments of 1965, which includeMedicare, provided for periodicincreases in the tax rate through1987.
The maximum tax per em-ployee in 1967 will be $290,up from $277.20 this year.A matching amount is paid tothe Federal Government byLibrascope.

"We visited the Center schooland were amazed at the workbeing done with these children,"Pat Hansen said.
Youngsters of all ages — 3through 20 years and sometimesolder — can obtain help at theCenter. Some of the youngerones come to school unable towalk or talk.
Music HelpsOne girl, about 13, is being
taught to speak. Other children,with physical as well as speechproblems, attend daily musicclasses. As they sing, "I'm tall,. . . I'm small . . .", their littlearms raise and lower in time tothe music. The singing helpstheir speech, the exercise teach-es them coordination andstrengthens muscles.
Some of the children aremongoloids and victims of cere-bral palsy. Others hate braindamage or iccre unciplainablyborn with mental deficiency.
"\Ve are satisfied when ayoungster leams anything," oneof the Center teachers said."Everything we are able toteach them is a plus on theledger."
Last year the Christmas CardCharity fund netted $831 incontributions.
Chairman is Optimistic"That's not bad for a charity
program that specializes in pock-et change and occasional dollarbills." Pat said. "And. I think wewill do even better this year."
Precisioneers building repre-sentatives and departmental sec-retaries recently distributed con-tribution envelopes and a pro-gram information sheet to allemployees.
"If we missed you, give me acall at extension #1279," saidPat. "I'm sure there's room onone of the trees for an ornamentwith your name on it."

The Remarkable World...Unlike the amateur cameraman, the Industrial Photographer may
not remember the lens setting and shutter speed he used to
shoot yesterday's photograph. And he doesn't care. Because
today is a new day, and each photographic subject
is as different as tomorrow...
L IBRASCOPE'S PHOTO SERVICES will be 23 years old next year. That isn'tvery remarkable unless you consider that when the need for in-plant picture-taking arose here in 1944, the Company didn't have a photographer or a photo
lab. But, we did have a commercial artist named Keith Kinnaird who was handywith a camera. We also had a Women's rest room that usually was vacant after 5 p.m.,and that became Librascope's improvised darkroom.
"Our equipment and facilities were very limited in those days," said Kinnaird. "Ican hardly remember a time when we didn't have to improvise methods or modifyequipment to get the job done."
Photo Services has changed considerably since those early days. Kinnaird stillsupervises the operation but now he has four photographers assigned and has longsince moved the photo lab out of the ladies' room and into its present Bldg. 2 head-quarters.
One thing, however, hasn't changed much, according to Kinnaird. "We're still facedwith photographic situations that are beyond the scope of our equipment. We stillmust devise new methods and modify equipment in order to keep up with both theworkload and the rapidly advancing state of the art in our industry, today."
Take, for example, the lab's giant Robertson copy camera. Once considered theultimate in precision copy equipment, the Robertson is so big it juts through the wallof the 20x24-foot camera room, so heavy that an elaborate mechanism powered by anelectric motor is used just to focus it. The front, back and sides of this monster arecovered with dials, switches, meters and buttons. Watching a man take a picture withthe Robertson puts you in mind of one of TV's mad scientists adjusting a timemachine.
But. for all practical purposes the Robertson became obsolete the day Photo Serv-ices got into the business of producing multi-layer circuit board films. Designed forphoto-lithography, the big camera didn't take kindly to the demanding plus or minus.0005% tolerances required in circuit board work. But with the adaptation of aunique registration technique (a Photo Services innovation), the Robertson is doingthe job.
"Fortunately, we have some very versatile and talented photographers on our staff,"Kinnaird said. "Drawing on their years of experience and skill, we've been able toachieve accuracies far beyond normal limitations of existing equipment and tech-niques."
Fred Beindorff, leadman of Photo Services, is responsible for many of the equip-ment modifications and new methods used in Librascope's world of IndustrialPhotography. A patent has been applied for on a Color Separation Technique forCircuit Boards by Beindorff and another circuitry registration technique is beingconsidered for patent.
According to Beindorff, he shares credit for the innovations with his fellow photog-raphers, Jim Avera, Bill Hoist and Don Graham. The four also share some 50 yearsof varied and valuable experience. "Everything we do is a joint effort," Beindorffsaid. "When a technique becomes obsolete, we put our heads together and come upwith a better one. When a piece of equipment fails to meet the needs for accuracyand quality, we tear it apart and see what must be done to make it do the job. It's assimple as that."
Is it really that simple? Hardly. In an industry inhabited by specialists the IndustrialPhotographer has become a generalist. He can't afford to specialize because he maybe called upon to shoot the interior of a building one day and a portrait of a vicepresident the next. His assignments may range from an exact reproduction of micro-miniature circuitry to step-by-step photojournalistic coverage of a news story or pro-duction process.
Such activity survives in a world of its own. It's a creative world of lights andcolor and glamour; a scientific world of chemistry, engineering and mathematics; ahumdrum world, where a photographer often must forsake his creative aspirations tospend long hours in the dark, cranking out negatives by the hundreds, prints by thethousands.
It's a remarkable world because the people in it are somewhat remarkable. Perhaps"amazing" would be a better word.

f... and lo, the star, which they sawin the east, went before them...'
Now when Jesus was born in Bethle-hem of Judaea in the days of Herodthe king, behold, there came wise menfrom the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is bornKing of the Jews? For we have seenhis star in the east and are come toworship him.
When Herod the king had heardthese things he was troubled, and allJerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered all thechief priests and scribes of the peopletogether, he demanded of them whereChrist should be born.
And they said unto him, in Bethle-hem of Judaea: for thus is written bythe prophet,
And thou Bethlehem, in the land ofJuda, art not the least among theprinces of Juda: for out of thee shallcome a Governor, that shall rule mypeople Israel.
Then Herod, when he had privilycalled the wise men, enquired of themdiligently what time the star appeared.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, andsaid, Go and search diligently for theyoung child; and when ye have foundhim, bring me word again, that I maycome and worship him also.
When they had heard the king theydeparted, and lo, the star, which theysaw in the east, went before them, tillit came and stood over where the youngchild was.

and Andy Cook
When they saw the star, they rejoicedwith exceeding great joy.
And when they were come into thehouse, they saw the young child withMary, his mother, and fell down, andworshipped him. And when they hadopened their treasures, they presentedunto him gifts; gold, and frankincense,and myrrh.
And being warned by God in a dreamthat they should not return to Herod,they departed into their own countryby another way.
