...this time the Farm Bureau's Edward Asbury O'Neal III, the National Grange's Albert S. Goss and the representatives of smaller farm pressure groups were smugly confident they could put through a broad-beam farm program of their own.

That first or second evening at your "reception" center (Camp Devens, perhaps) is critical, and may hound you the rest of your days if you don't fly the beam.

In the vectograph, a Polaroid patent, the two pictures, one for each eye, are printed over each other on the same photographic film or paper. Incorporated with them is the polarizing material. When viewed with Polaroid glasses the picture is fully three-dimensional in ordinary light. When thrown on a screen from an ordinary projector the pictures are automatically polarized by the film, thus need only the viewing glasses...
