CARL E. GORDON
The Ptiilco Service Man
(Continued from Page .1)
sides being an authorized Phil
co radio service man getting all
factory installation detail by
code before the instruments are
released on the market, he also
receives periodically the com
bined releases of all other ra
dio, radar and television manu
facturers.
In the layout of his store and
shop, he has divided it into two
divisions due to different re
quirements of equipment. On
the one side he has AM radios
and auto radios, on the other
FM, radar and television.
How Gordon Started in Radio
While working in Winnetka
as an auto mechanic during
1930, it was one of his jobs to
take car radios out of cars
when they needed attention,
and then he delivered it to a
radio service agency for repair
and adjustment. He noticed
that in many* cases this (latter
part) took only a little time,
while the removal of the instru
ment from the car took con
siderable time. This fact gave
him his first desire to learn
something about radios.
Gordon therefore attended
the DeForest Radio and Televi
sion School in Chicago. While
going to school he purchased
old radio sets and was given
some with which to experiment.
He seemed to have a knack
finding the trouble and rectify
ing it.
The school was so well pleas
ed with his achievement that
they wanted to set up a labor
atory in his home. However, he
declined their offer and in
place continued his schooling,
attending the University of
Wisconsin at Madison for two
years in the field of Radio, Tel
evision and Electronics, taking
advanced courses. Then he was
asked by Philco to take their
test and he attended their
school in Radio and Television
for two years.
Has an Inventive Spirit
While studying with Philco
he perfected a patent which
transmits music on a beam of
light through a series of photo
electric cells and electric eyes
to a transmitter, which can be
over 25 feet away.
He also invented an auto
matic control for changing the
light beams on automobile
head light from bright to regu
lar driving when approaching
another car, when the lights
are on, and then returning the
beam to bright after the car
passes. This he accomplished
by use of electric cells.
Carl has perfected a device
which eliminates all of the
needle noises from record re
productions.
He has taken several refresh
er courses at Philco to keep in
training in the very latest of
their many patented improve
ments.
Mr. Gordon is also an exper
ienced technician on Motorola
2-way communication, having
taken their factory course in
same.
Kept Navy Equipment in
Repair
Carl’s radio and electronic
training have taken him into
many technical fieldsfi one of
which being employed by the
United States Navy at Great
Lakes in electronics where he j
holds a permanent C. A. F. rat
ing.
His Family
Carl E. Gordon was born at
Freeport,, Long Island, New,
York, December 10th, 1910. He
received his grade schooling
there. His parents then moved
to Toledo, Ohio, where he at
tended Wait High School,
graduating in 1927. After grad
uation he wanted to see what
there was to be seen in the
United States, travelling from
the East coast to California and
through the Gulf states as well,
finally settling at Winnetka,
Illinois, where he became affil
iated as an auto mechanic with
Standard Oil Co.
He became acquainted while
living there with a lady friend
in Glencoe, Miss Sonia Hill and
this couple was united in mar

GOD'S CALL TO ISRAEL
By Anton Darms
By Zephaniah bold
• Jehovah did make known
The prophecy foretold
That Israel must be born.
His vision most sublime,
With ages rolling on
At last appeared on time
For Israel’s Day has come.
“LET NOT THINE HANDS BE SLACK,”
O Israel, saith thy God
Let not your eyes look back
Upon the way you’ve trod.
“GO FORWARD” is the word
That spurs thee to thy work
Thy Prayer then is heard,
When never thou dost shirk.
What in the past was done
Will not today suffice
Thy work has just begun.
Beyond is thy great prize.
Now Israel has been bom
Before Millennial days
To usher in the dawn
When Peace her scepter sways.
For Israel, sent of God
Her message must proclaim
Where Israel of old has trod
We must at last reclaim.
Her standard must be high
Her morals must be pure
Her people true and tried
Her faith in God be sure.
Behind thee Egypt lies;
Before, the Promised Land,
Bi*eak all unworthy ties,
Go up, possess the Land.
Go bold into the fight,
With all thine armour on
Press on with all thy might
Then victory will come.
Surrender all thine, own
To use it for thy God;
For where thy treasure’s home,
There also is thy heart.
No life that is divided
To God can pleasing be
To Israel’s cause united
You will success achieve.
No place for shirkers here—
No place for idle drones
Nor loud professions mere,
Nor murmuring and moans;
Keep working right ahead
And with a firm step move
What God of Israel said,
Shall more than be made true.
