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.

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. Since
this Is true, the publishers of this
newspaper would like to give
you a good look at these future
"World Builders."
The only way we can do this
Is by publishing pictures of them
