All You Can Cram Into the Bag . . . Just

The Aeronautical Research Laboratory has JiiNt received a new
$47,000 contract from
the Air
Force. The contract is titled.
'Shutter Test Standards and Calibration Systems." and is connected
with the Aenal Reconnaissance
Laboratory at Vriph
Patterson
AFB in Dayton. Ohio.
The new contract is a 'follow
through" on a previous work of the
same nature. While the first contract was purely research and development, the current one is an
effort to consolidate the work that
has gone before.
Dr. Fied C. Curtis, who is in
charge of this particular project
at the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, states that a camera shutter does not operate instantaneously and that there is a relatively
long- period of time spent in its
opening and closing. Since the
ultimate purpose of the contract
is to develop an instrument to
measure the efficiency of a camera shutter, the whole exposure
time from just prior to opening to
just, after closing must be accurately: timed. The shutters to be
tested range in exposure time from
of a second for the slowest, to one four thousandth of a
second for the fastest.
The efficiency of a shutter Is defined as the relationship between
actual exposure and ideal exposure. The actual exposure time is
measured by electronic means using a photoelectric tube,
which resembles a television set with graph paper on the
picture tube, and an electronic
counter or stopwatch.

All Educational Milestone

For longer tlian most of tis like to believe, Kentucky lias
occupied an unenviable position near the bottom of the national educational latUlei:. Several factors are responsible for
this educational level of ours. Two of the most important of
these factors are a lack of funds, and the public's attitude.
The lack of funds is itself a product of the people's attitude. If somehow everyone who lives in this state could be
made aware of the desperate need for better facilities, the need
for funds would soon disappear. At the risk of being
we believe that some of our citizens are waking up
to the point where progress, not stagnation, will be the symbol
of Kentucky education.
The
ceremony for the new University
Medical Center is a good indication that something is happening that may have as its final consequence an acceptable
school system through which our young people may be educated.
The Medical Center has been the target for criticism from
various quarters, yet the good it will accomplish will far outweigh any possible bad effects. It is true that many of the doctors who are trained at the Medical Center may leave Kentucky, but it is equally true that many of them will remain in
the state.
At any rate, those who do leave Kentucky will surely not
leave the world, and some good can come through their stay-in- g
on tlie planet.
As far as actual value to the people of this state, there
seems little doubt that it will be worth what it costs.
Within the reach of our citizens will come more, better and
cheaper medical care. At the present time, many of the people of this state can ill afford to pay the price necessary to insure that they and their families get the best possible medical
attention. Although the new Medical Center will not completely alleviate this problem, it will certainly be a step toward
doing so.
In the years ahead, as the people become more and more
aware of the necessity for better education medical and otherwisewe can hope that other important expansions and innovations will come to the University of Kentucky.
Until they do, let us be proud and thankful for" the milestone we pass as the ground is broken for our new Medical
Center.
