C. Washington—Orange County can look |orward to its own television on a new station'Which may be built under a plan of the Federal Com munications Commission, in Chapel Hill. __ L • The •-FGG ®tan,« which has. just, been adopted calls for 49 stations in North Carolina. Most of them will operate in the Ultra-High Fre quency range, which is an untapped section of the radio spectrum. Use of this UHF band and expansion of the present Very High Frequency service should eventually permit nearly 2,000 new television stations in every section of the nation. The 108 television stations now operat ing in the United States are in the VHF range. “The adoption of the UHF plan in conjunction with the expansion of VHF means the beginning of a truly nationwide television service, with visual entertainment and edu cation brought to remote areas miles from the nearest cities," stat ed Dr.-C.-B. Jolliffe, vice president and technical director of the Radio Corporation of America, which pioneered the development of UHF television. “We are ready to build the transmitting and receiving equipment to bring about this na tional television service." The FCC decision to use UHF for television is based on years of sci entific research and on field tests conducted by RCA and the National Broadcasting Company at Bridge port, Conn., where in 1949 they built the country’s first UHF tele vision station to operate on a reg ular basis. These field tests. Dr. Jolliffe reported, showed that UHF when properly allocated geographi cally and properly used, was com parable to service provided by pre sent VHF broadcasts. When new stations are built, home television receivers will follow quickly, judging from the experi ence of present television areas. Based on the national pattern, North Carolina can anticipate more than 670,000 sets a' year or l.t'R’O after the new stations begin opera tion, with nearly 6,000 sets in Orange County alone, PARENT-SON BANQUET Hillsboro—The annual Parent Son banquet of the Hillsboro Chap ter, Future Farmers of America, will be held at Schley Grange hall at 7 o’clock; April 25.
