The following letter to the editor has been received by The Tribune and in that we were acquainted with the situation and this new monkey wrench is going to hold off good television reception in Tabor City for a couple of years unless some one does some compromising, we thought it worthy of this week's editorial column. Dear Sir: No doubt you have noticed lately an increase in interest and enthusiasm over the probability of local television in Wilmington. The recent removal of the ban on new TV stations by the Federal Communications Commission open ed the gate to new and more television stations through out the country. Wilmington, N. C., at the time of the ban removal, was not only allocated one channel, but was al located two commercial television channels. This meant, of course, that the F.C.C. would allow as many as two commercial television stations (one operating on channel 6 V.H.F. and one operating on channel 29, U.H.F.) in Wil mington. At the same time that the ban was removed the F.C.C., realizing that a flood of applications for the allo cated channels would be forthcoming from prospective sta tion operators, announced the plan it would follow in pro cessing such applications. The basic plan was that those cities now without TV and where only one application was filed for each allocated channel, would be processed first. The applications representing cities in this group would be considered according to population. Shortly after the above was announced station WMFD made public that it had applied for channel 6. This natur ally put Wilmington in a relatively high position on the F.C.C. list since one application was filed for one channel in a city which now has not TV. Some three or four weeks ago, after «the F.C.C. had issued licenses to a number of larger cities and was near ing a consideration of Wilmington's application, I read from the afternoon paper that WGNI had just then made an application for a license to operate a TV station here. This application was made, not for channel 29, the other allocated channel, but for channel 6, the same one that WMFD had previously applied for. A few days later, in the November 15, 1952, issüe of the Wilmington Morning Star the following article, date-lined Washington, D. C., annoawH and read as follows: "The Federal Communications Commission today said it would be a matter of months 'possibly even a year or more* before Wilmington would have tele vision locally. Reason for this, according to F.C.C. officials, is that both local radio stations are applying for the same TV channel. This necessitates a hearing which will not take place until all 'uncontested' ap plications are settled by the Commission." Now my only interest in this matter is wanting to see the people of Wilmington and the surrounding area have access to this new and far reaching media of entertain ment as quickly as possible. It matters not to me who operates on which channel. If only one channel had been allocated to Wilmington I could well understand why more than one application would be made for the one channel. It is quite puzzling however, as to why, when two commercial channels are available, both applicants apply for channel 6 when the other channel (No. 29) is without an application. As usual, the general public suffers by this delay since they are the ones that will "wait on" for local television. Assuming that both applicants are sincerely interested in getting TV to Wilmington with the least possible delay, I would like to suggest that, in the public interest and in a spirit of cooperation, the two applicants consider this situation which has arisen and agree among themselves tc amend the application in such a way that one would applj for channel 6 and the other for channel 29. This would not only hasten local television, but would give Wilming ton two operating stations in a much shorter period oi time than it would take to get one station licensed in the above mentiond situation. If the above suggestion is followed, I am sure the peo ple of Wilmington and the surrounding area would hai] this public spirited move as an admirable quality on the part of both applicants.

Horace Carter The Christmas Seal was born in Denmark—the birthplace, too of the tender fairy tales of Hans Christian Anderson. f It was a busy afternoon just be •re Christmas in 1903 and hoi:· 1 "ay letters and packages wen ί ouring in to the post office ir. , openhagen. Einer Holboell. post 1 clerk, expertly handled the mail, lovingly sorted it and sent , it on to its happy destination. Like all Danes he knew the And erson tales and he thrilled to trie .sk of spreading joy to boys and rls and grown-ups in his be ed Denmark. As he w orkec he ordered on an idea which was -'ined for a great future. Why, he thought, wouldn't it I 3 a good idea if each letter o. ι ickage carried another penny :?mo the sale of which would «■e11 ε fund to build hospitals fo? j ;i!d en. There arc so many chil I Ten. he mused, and so man-.· who are ill. It wo.uld cost each giver so little to share in giving this great gift to those sad little people. Everybody could help. The stamps could be bright and cheery and everyone who bought them or who received them on their Christmas mail would be made happier. He liked the thought and he smiled as he worked. He just had to tell someone and so the word got around and before long the post offfice hummed with talk about the Christmas stamps. The clerks could not resist telling the stamp customers and with so something was bound to happen. , The idea was soon presented to King Christian who immediately warmed to the thought. Not only should Holboell's idea be tried but the King himself would authorize the Seal and it should bear the likeness of his beloved Queen. More than 4,000,000 Seals were sold in the Copenhagen post office that year of the first Seal saie,i which opened December 6, 1904. In 1904 the Danish Christmas Seals were appearing on letters to people in America. One of these caught the attention of Ja cob Riis whom Theodore Roose velt called "America's most use ful citizen." In the July, 1907, issue of The Outlook, Riis pub lished an article "The Christmas Stamp," urging the adoption of the idea in America as a means of "setting everybody thinking of a great wrong that can be righted through everybody's thinking of it." He wrote: "Nothing in all the world is better proven today than that tu berculosis is a preventable disease and therefore needless—yet it goes on year after year killing an army of 150,000 and desolating homes in which half a million men and women are dragging them selves to graves dug by this single enemy. "Why,' asked Riis, "should not the idea be adopted here," The article stressed one point which has become the keynote of the work of tuberculosis associa tions in America. Riis said: "The Christmas Stamps should be sold—not for the purpose of building a hospital—let each state or town build its own—but for the purpose of rousing up and ed ucating people on this most im portant matter. It is because they do not know a few amazingly sim ple things that people die of tu berculosis." On that idea the "people's war against tuberculosis" is based. Teach people how to prevent the disease, demonstrate ways to meet the problem within the commun |ity! ·> LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS All letters received by the local Post Office addressed to Santa Clause will be published in the Tribune.
