National Service
Edward R. Dolecki
The purpose of U.S.I.T.A’s
national committees comprised
of leading communications men
from various parts of the United
States is to formulate policy
recommendations and to keep
members of the association
abreast of technical and
management advances in the
telephone industry.
Committees also help to re-
solve current problems and
plan for future developments of
the telephone industry. Com-
mittee members also render
assistance when requested by
U.S.I.T.A. in proceedings
. R. Dale Wagner
before the Federal Communi-
cations Commission and other
federal agencies.

an investment in plant and
facilities of $12.5 billion, and

ploye. About $1.7 billion was
spent in 1970 for upgrading
service and facilities;
estimated for 1971, $2 billion.

This is a new kind of razor designed to give
cleaner, more comfortable shaves, with less pulling,
less tugging and less skin irritation.
The razor is electrically powered by a battery-
operated power unit attached to the razor. All you do is
lather up and guide the razor over your face. The
power unit moves the shaving edge in a microscopic
orbit, rotating at a rate of 4000 orbits per minute. This
causes the shaving edge to remove whiskers with a
uniform, smooth motion that reduces pulling, tugging
and irritation discomforts that can occur with an or-
The shaving edge is actually a razor band con-
tained in a replaceable, snap-in cartridge. The band
will last for weeks of shaving. It is also adjustable to
shave with varying degrees of closeness. A turn of a
lever advances the band to a new shaving edge.
The power unit is completely waterproof, com-
pletely safe, and it can be recharged overnight.

Planning For Happy
When life runs smoothly,
changes are gradual and are
usually accepted easily. Abrupt
changes, on the other hand, are
often difficult to adjust to. The
person who fails or refuses to
face the reality of passing years
may find himself with an
abrupt change of role when he
reaches retirement age, points
out James Van Horn, extension
family life specialist at. The
Pennsylvania State University.
Much unhappiness and
frustration might be avoided if
people could accept the idea
that the aging process can’t be
altered with toupees, hair dye,
wrinkle creams, vitality med-
