Employers want men who are honest, intelligent, and have good common sense. T.A.Boyd, General Motors research consultant, told 400 engineers Tuesday in a special engineering convocation.

EAST MEETS WEST IN NEW RELAY EVENT
You've heard of the Penn Relays. But have you ever heard of a relay where the hurdles are mountains, the average stride is thirty miles, and the track stretches coast to coast?
It's the Bell System's Radio-Relay and it brings East and West together in one of the most important events in the history of communications.
Telephone construction crews have just recently completed the coast-to-coast Radio-Relay system. Today, Long Distance calls ride on radio microwaves, beamed through the air from tower to tower. And, for the first time, television programs have been flashed from coast to coast.
The new system supplements the thousands of miles of wire cable that already tie the nation together. It helps make America's vast communications network even stronger and more flexible. And it could hardly happen at a better time. The demands of defense are heavy and urgent.
HOW Radio-Relay WORKS. Microwaves travel in a straight line. So relay towers are usually built on hilltops and spaced about thirty miles apart. Just as a runner picks up the baton from another runner; so each tower picks up microwaves from its neighbor, and with complex electronic equipment amplifies and focuses them like a searchlight, then beams them accurately at the next tower. And hundreds of Long Distance calls ride the beam at the same time.
