(C-T Photo) Smith Puts Case For Expanding Radio Coverage Ted Smith, general manager of Hadlo Station KL'MA, l'endlc- ton, Monday told the Heppner Morrow County Chamber of Commerce of the station's hope of expanding radio coverage over a clear channel on 1120 kilocycles. Application for the channel has lieen made with the Federal Comrnunieat ions Comml s s I o n, hut the station Is In competition for it with a station in Kugene and -another In Twenty Nine I'alms. Calif., he said. Smith sought aid of the cham ber to support KU.MA's case with the IX C and will also seek aid from residents throughout Mor row county. For H years the station has been serving the 1'endleton area on 12iKJ kilocycles with WXXJ watts power. Number of stations In the nation has grown from .Vsj Just prior to World War II to 4100 at the present, ho said. Assignments between M0 and lfioo kilocycles are made every five kilocycles. KL'MA Is pres ently on a regional class 3 as signment and must go direct ional at sundown. Frequency Is crowded both day and night. Should It win approval for the class 1 clear channel, of which there are only 24 in the United States. It would have primary service In the west on the chan nel while another station in the east would have similar service on the same channel without in terference. Whether KUMA or one of its two competitors gets the 1120 frequency will depend largely on which can show that It will give the most added service, Smith said. He estimated that KUMA could reach some 10.000 additional square miles and would provide good radio service In the Heppner area. The station could reach 17,0(X) more persons, he said. Already KUMA has spent $(V)00 on its application and will be required to spend more be fore the matter is closed, he said. When the FCC hearing comes up, trips to Washington, D. C. will be necessary to provide testi mony. of Children It Is an undisputed fact that the responsibilities of tomorrow's world, our nation, and commun Ity will rest upon the shoulders ot the children of today.
