MAY JUNE, 1971 Page 62 MEMBERSHIP NOTES With this issue, TELESCOPE presents a totally new cover design and leaves the long-familiar blue and white format, first adopted in 1963. We admit that the change was contemplated with mixed feelings. The old cover, like an old friend, has worn well...one does not shuck off old friends lightly. But on the other hand, the means now exist that make it possible to do things we couldn't do in 1963. We think the graphics on the inside of TELESCOPE have improved greatly in recent years, and to go with that improvement we felt the contents deserved a new cover outlook. We hope you share our enthusiasm over the results. Either way, let us know what you think of the new look...REL.

Variously known throughout her brief existence as "Stubby," and Huli 101, which designation she bears in this photograph, the new jumbo has recently been given the name STEWART $. CORT. Mr. Cort was Vice President of Steel Operations, and a Director of Bethlehem Steel. Our photograph shows the CORT under construction at Erie, Pa., dwarfing even the large yard buildings, and making the cars in the foreground look insignificant by comparison. The photograph was taken for TELESCOPE by Mimeek. F. Schroeder, of Detroit. ne
