": Either the Canton area enjoys better reception or people in that end of the county have more money to spend on television, because tele vision sets are more thickly spot ted there than in the Waynesyille area.- The truth of the matter is prob ably to be found in Ed Stanmvre's remark that "everyone Who has a set for a week or two thinks that he has the best reception in the county." They say that we ale in a fringe area, but don't let that fool you, A station in Asheville may or mav not improve our reception.

(Utamdttonol)- thing. 1 am told that a man In Ashe ville who with great pride invited in his neighbors to enjoy his night ly programs, suddenly ran into a snow storm,. : ' His trouble was no more serious than that a householder down the street had stored ; his 'window screens for the winter. As soon as the screens were replaced, recep tion once again became' perfect. The vision part of television bounces around like A rubber ball and, (cross your fingers) may bounce right into your laps. Kelix Stovall (to quote Ed Stan myre) is in a theoretically perfect position, but cannot get anything. Marvin Leatherwood (to quote Flovd Nelsonl is stuck between mountains where he should not ex pect good reception, yet the Cote' man Mountain gap gives him a per feet outlet to the Charlotte station. So far, Haywood County is a one channel area which means : pro grams from Charlotte. However, six receivers those of Frank Under wood, Claude Woodard,. Ruf us Carswell, John Shelby, C. Carvalho, Brad Mehaffcy are getting Atlan ta on an average of once a week and when that station does come throuch. it is clearer than Char lotte. - Three of them have installed spe cial aerials beamed toward Atlanta The Atlanta station recently in creased its power, and when it is operating on an experimental 100,' 000 watts, reception here is perfect on any set. Since we are already thinking in terms of reception from Charlotte land we do get Charlotte! what will an increase in power there mean to I us.' ' ' If Charlotte goes from the pres ent 16,000 watts to 50,000 we would find a 75 per cent increase in sig nal strength. If she goes from 16, 000 watts to 100,000 watts .we would enjoy fl 150 per cent in crease. A 150 per cent increase would put us in the television world. If one receiver In Haywood County is getting television recep tion as good as it would in the center of New York City, why can t all of us enjoy the same don't we have more sets? James Hamilton, a professional radio man, reports that he recent ly found less radio interference in a hotel room in the heart of New York City than in Wayiiesvitie. Even summer in Waynesville, tourists flock to repair shops with their radios thinking that they were damaged by travel, when actually they are in perfect mechanical condition. Television sound reception is frequency modulated, Interference is seen in unsteady jumpy pictures. and in streaks. Our ears can toler ate far more noise than can our eyes when the alchemy of television transmits sound into sight. Those of us who, through habit can listen to a noisy radio, can't hear to look at the same noise on television screen. The American Legion and the Elks, both in the center of Waynes- ville could have excellent recep tion were it not for interference by defective parts on power lines, of fending neon lamps, lightning ar resters, etc. Dealers in Waynesville cannot push the sale of television sets for the simple reason that they cannot demonstrate a performance equal to that obtainable In the surrounding- countryside. What will a television set cost you? You can buy standard sets ranging from $129.00 to $750.00, and deluxe sets from $1,500 lo $3,000. However the average Hay wood County set costs approxim ately $350 installed and ready to go. Willard (Andy) Moody, on the other hand advises that leiiovv should have $500 to spend before he decides to become a television ham.'-A man. fortunately located. can enjoy life with a cheap set and cheap installation. However, once television gets into his blood he will be bent on getting good recep tion even in an unlavorable loca tion. A 70-fool tower will cost from $75 lo $100 and a booster approm- ately $35. In ol her words, if you are willing to fork out $500 you Why ! T. Pamm1aIa Leaders Course 2 At Fort Meade Tuesday, December lKUi CLYDE Clyde School .. ..... Sam Jackson ... IP. C. Mann .., .-.
