This modification kit is available for around $800 and can be installed within present RCA cameras to ma¬ terially increase the useful life of image orthicons. ***** Anyone who has gone through the time-consuming process of installing coaxial connectors on RG-59/U cable should be interested in a time-saving connector developed by Entron, Inc., Box 287, Bladensburg, Md. It’s a solderless connector which can be applied in a fraction of the time necessary to attach the con¬ ventional solder type connector. The solderless con¬ nectors are less expensive and the two necessary crimping tools sell at a very nominal price. Entron makes a complete line of solderless connectors, also, for RG-6/U, RG-8/U and RG-ll/U cables as well as the tools necessary for their installation.

LETTER FROM ENGLAND The following is excerpted from a letter to Editor Judith Stevens from Noel F. Brookes, 14, of Worchestershire, England. These are his personal opinions of what he has seen on TV. “I don’t watch TV much, except Panorama and Science Review. I think the other stuff is sheer, un¬ diluted tripe! “In our home anyway, the family watches the children’s hour, then has tea and so misses most of the 6-7 p.m. programs. They watch TV AUTO¬ MATICALLY! It’s part of their life. “I like the educational films, what few there are. But I think the approach is too crude for the modern child. My brother, aged 12, remembers the more lurid incidents in the films and TV he watches. I think the approach should be more subtle; say dis¬ guise the lesson - have as an instructor a well-known figure, a cowboy or a pirate, which will appeal to the juvenile, mind.” PLACEMENT SUPPLEMENT June I - Male, single, 47, M. of Public Health, with specialized training and experience in public health, community affairs, journalism and dramatics.
