I Observations z I By W. K.

This new, ' mure powerful. Shell on rotee for the Capitol Uity win j spread the signal strength of ; WPTK's broadcasts with clarity to, most of the states east of the Mis sissippi and this statiou may. bej heard clearly at' times to the west j coast. / On Sunday, we were privileged! to inspect this powerful new giant, of broadcasting. At the handsome j new transmitter building west of Raleigh. the many banks and pan els of electrical wizardry that fling the broadcasts into the air are indeed marvelous to behold. Here, arouud a central control df-sk, are arranged the modernis ticall.v designed, glass windowed cabinets with Quell flu lntegrat?^| pan ot the equipment that pre-7 pare the thousands of volts and ampere for their journey through space to bring a complete broad cast service into the homes of countless people. To the j;ear of the control deskii -CWStanfls-'lhe ?tyl 5,000 watt trans-l mitter dwarfed by comparison with the ten times more powerful -Colossus that stands on three sides of the control man with a glittering array of lights, instru ment. tubes and switches. Every minute the station is on j the air an experienced engineer; sits at the control desk or moves) among the countless instruments) constantly vigilant that every, note of music and every word of speech is placed in the atmosphere with the greatest possible effic iency and topal quality. liven though this new electrical giant is Ike latest in design and opera ? ir.vn. a 1 N.irstiinr nvtrif ami ' cmi- " slant attention must lie given to k' ep performance at the peak.j "When The station hiis signed off for the night a new activity slat'ts 1n the transmitter as the engi hepTh their nightly joi> of cleaning and maintenance. This cleaning and maintenance is net - essat>- an any tinely adjusted ?l?; trtciil apparatus will deteriorate rapidly without periodic and fre ouenl inspection. This is Mnpecial ... ly true when some of tlui appaja til s is so deliiate and still must handle such huge quantities of electricity. " I i After looking over Mie ultra- 1 modern traitsmHtTBg pluni we lfuTl h very pleasanl ? visit >11 ? t4w? ? ini? town studios with the affable Mr. t> rn ha 111 Poyner. Mr. Poyner graciously exhibited the well eriuipped temporary quarters of WPTF and generously explained ?7 wme of the complexities of broad casting. Here in the studios 1 large stuff of writers, musicians and announcers prepare the many -lioursjjf programs that are broad cast daily. Here too are the of fices for advertising solicitors. Through commercial and competitive radio, America has the finest and best balanced pro grams in the world according to Mr. Poyner. Here also in t-he studio is equipment for transcrib ing special events or programs to be heard or reheard at a later hour If you get a chance visit 1 WPTF in their studios or at their new transmitter and learn for yourself the Kemendous amount of energy and ingenuity that it takes to make a first class radio statiou. Now with their ten-fold strong er voice. WPTF is sending it'a call (letters into thousands of ears that probably never heard of North Carolina before ? outside of their geography ^ooks. Now this station is a vastly, enlarged horl lon. When Mr. Poyner and the rest of the station staff move into their new studios- a year or so hence then WPTF will be second to none in equipment facilities and housing. North Carolina is proud of t'hla radio station and It's far-sighted and successful management. More "power" to WPTF and more lis teners to this great new voice of Tarheelia. In wishing more lis teners to a radio station we a re giving voice to their own prime motive, < for. as Mr. Poyner so aptly put it', "Without listeners, we are nothing."

On Friday, May I appeared-! 1 befort the Board of Conservation and Development and secured 1 from t?hat qisteelned body a resoln Hon to the Governor requesting that he draw upon the Kmergency i Fund jn a amount suftcient to i match county coo perilling money ; on a 50-00 basis .to tlnanc* lire control in those counties desiring protect ion for each of the next; two fiscal years, .beginning July l.i 1)141. The Governor is aware of that" resoln t ion and has indicated hi-4' desTriT to rooperat e ? i t ti tile re- j | quest provided the county com missioners are willing to put up{ their share which in Frahk-linJs case would be $95iMM annually. Fifty-eight counties now have cooperative fire control and they' are unanimous in acclaiming thai { money spent for this purpose is! Ihe county's best investment. There is no douln of Franklin's need for fire control we have] 2 for WOMEN POPULAR FOR 61 YEARS! but to recall the fires of this! wring to freshen our memory onj lhaO point. According to the of icial estimate for the calendar rear 1940. Franklin suffered 3$ I fires which- burned over 6,000 icrps doing damage, figure^' con servatively at two dollars peri icre, in excess of" $12,000.00. The least that can be done for that two-thirds of Franklin which is Forest land is to give it the bene iY. of protection froln fire. Please confer with your fellow timmissioneis and advise me nt four earliest convenience of the ujtion which you. propose to lake in order that a liate may he ar ranged with Uhe "Governor for a ; joint meeting of representatives I from the interested comities, the!
