nv the time they cleared it, he had
missed a chance to show it in

months before one of them was

Bur he was far from through.
He still had to arrange for show

clipped almost an entire reel, and

attempting to lead small party
south for help, disappeared. Even
tually the main body of the expedi-
ton got home. Its commander,
Anthony Fiala, organized new
expedition and went in search of
his lost men. He found Porter and
one other, after they had been
marooned on frozen Franz Josef
Land for nearly two years.
Enough Of the Arctic
lHE Yankee architect never VEN
tured north of Maine again. He
married the postmistress of tiny
Port Clyde and settled down to
building cottages. But reading an
old book, he got interested in tele-
scopes, and made small telescope
mirror. He soon became fascinated
with the art and got job as
optical expert with Jones and
Lamson, machine makers in his
old home town of Springfield.
Here he built a new kind of reflect
ing telescope for Ex-Governor
Hartnessof Vermont, and invented
an optical comparator," a pre-
cision measuring device.
Porter had settled down to a
quiet life in 1928 when George E.
Hale, director of Mount Wilson
Observatory, conceived the ZOO
inch telescope project and pro-
cured 100000 of Rockefeller
money to build it. He had al
ready got hold of the worlds
top experts in optics and me-
chanics. Now he needed some
thing else: an artist-scientist with
creative imagination. He heard
about Porter and sent two men to
Springfield to see him.

Retired but Busy
AT rs, Russ Porter claims he has
retired. Actually, he is as busy
as ever. When he isn't hunched
over his drawing board or driving
to Palomar he's home working out
strange new optical sundials to
ornament his garden and his
friends lawns.
Personally, he's small and quiet.
Deafness (the result of his Arctic
experience) only partially corrected

occupation which keeps people
from bothering him unless they
really have something to talk
about. Up at seven every morning,
he gets his own breakfast and slips
off to work to return at noon for a
bowl of cereal and "siesta."
