PAGE EIGHT THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1960 ELECTRONIC DATA MACHINE IS PROBLEM By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK AP)--Business executives studying electronic data processing have an added problem of late. The rapid growth in the number of companies making the computers--and an equally big spurt in the available kinds of machines, giant or small or in between. Many of them are specialized for particular jobs, different sized companies, or specific industry or individual company problems. MACHINES ON DISPLAY To furnish a guide for electronic data processing itself and the machines tailored to invididual company needs, a computer display area is to be set aside at the National Business Show opening October 24 in the New York Coliseum. Called the CompuCenter, it will enclose in a compact unit some $2.5 million worth of computers ranging from the relatively small to the large scale system.

The display will be shared by six manufacturers. A spokesman for the show admits this is but a handful of those now in the field, but the official insists the six have a wide enough range of products the field to give most business executives a basic insight into data processing. EDUCATE VISITOR The six are: Bendix, Control Data Friden, Monroe, Philco and Remington Rand. The range in computer sizes, besides educating the visitor, is aimed at showing that electronic data processing isn't confined to use by giant corporations but is efficiently available to smaller organizations. When he has mulled the intricacies of such processing and the tools thereof, the business executive can see office equipment needed for the feeding and care of these complicated machines.

And nearby will be the final touch of modern business life--a place where prospective customers may make immediate lease arrangements for any of the equipment through Standard Financial Corp. NEED OTHER HELP After which the prospect might go to an employment agency because it takes human brains to run the electronic giants, once commonly and inexactly called brains themselves. And the em- ployes will use a lot of other business equipment. As the show spokesman put. it in an interview: "It's still the typewriters, adding machines, calculators that provide and prepare the raw data for the high speed computer.

"Once the electronic computer processes the data its findings must be distributed quickly -meaning copying and duplicating equipment, collators, sorters, various mailing equipment." ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES Science Shrinks Piles New Way Without Surgery Stops Itch--Relieves Pain Hew Tort, Pi. Y. For the first time science has found a new healing substance with the astonishing ability to shrink hemorrhoids, stop itching, and relieve pain without surgery. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place.

The secret is a new healing substance of a world-famous research institute.

This substance is now available in suppository or ointment form under the name Preparation At all drug counters. PROBLEMS AT HOME CITED BY GOVERNOR PITTSBURGH (AP) Gov. Lawrence says the United States will gain nothing from space exploration "if we have lost our love for our neighbors and have betrayed our children's love." Speaking to the Pittsburgh Sons of Columbus Sunday night, Lawrence said that space exploration and world peace are among this nation's greatest challenges. "But it is equally true," he said, "that there are classrooms to be built in our backyards, there are dams to be built to conserve water and make power, there are crops to be planted and food to be harvested. "It is equally true that there are crumbling cities to be rebuilt, slums to be destroyed, homes to be made for older people who do not have them, industries to be revitalized and workers to be re- employed.

"These are the areas in which many of our challenges in i decade and in this century -must lie. For we shall gain nothing from the universe if we have lost our love for our neighbors and have betrayed our children's love." DISCIPLES OF WALTON ELECT OIL CITY. Pa. (AP) Claude M.

Bashore, Lebanon; BASEBALL IN LIMELIGHT ON WEEKEND TV By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP-TV Radio Writer NEW YORK World Series games were without doubt the most popular events of the television weekend. NBC seemed to be doing an adequate job of reporting basebail. It was in color, too, but as far as I can judge, about the only thing the color adds to regular bl-ack and white TV is a reminder that baseball is played on a grass diamond.

Phil Silvers and Polly Bergen, a talented pair, put on a 60-minute show Saturday night on CBS which was amusing, bright and tuneful. Comedian Silvers proved himself to be a man with an engaging way with song lyrics, and singer Bergen turns out to have a flare for comedy. LIKE THE OLD DAYS The sketches, with one exception, were off the beaten TV track. Unfortunately, one about an insanely jealous husband was very much like a sketch a week ago in "Hooray for Love" by Ail Carney and Alice Ghostley. But there was a nice satire on the success theme about an ambitious plumber and an amusing number showing the home life of a department store window dresser.

Jackie Gleason returned to the home screen in a CBS special Sunday night. Occasionally, it was sort of like' the old days--there was a nostalgic reunion between Jackie and Art Carney. HAD TO MAKE CHOICE Jackie did a bartender mono- ogue and turned up as Reggie Van Gleason--but it wasn't the He seemed sort of digni- ied, for one thing, and the whole lacked exuberance.
