MAIL TRIBUNE
Subscription TV Sought
A petition filed with the Federal Communications
Commission by the Zenith Radio corporation of Chi
cago may carry a hint of things to come in the tele
vision industry. Zenith's petition asks the FCC to au
thorize immediate commercial operation of subscrip
tion television by properly equipped TV stations.
THE petitioner claims that establishment of sub
1 scription television would make possible a new
and better kind of programming that will not dupli
cate present commercially sponsored programs. It
would also restore to home TV viewers many import
ant events, such as grand opera and championship
fights, which have been lost to theater TV or blacked
out altogether. . .r
In particular, subscription television would make
possible the showing of top Hollywood movies instead
of the ancient films now provided. .
According to Zenith, if subscription TV is approv
ed the public will be able to see box office events in
the home at a fraction of the cost of attending them
in person, or seeing them in a TV equipped theater.
The payment of only a few cents per person in mil
lions of homes would provide a box office to finance
the fine arid costly productions which cannot now be
seen in the home because no advertiser will undertake
the high cost of sponsorship.
Subscription TV would also tend to increase the
quantity of educational and public service features in
general, Zenith asserts, as stations would be able.to
afford more programs of this nature because they
would receive income, therefrom.
'THE petition points out that, many commercial sta
" tions are finding it increasingly difficult to make
financial ends meet because of production costs and
insufficient advertising revenue. J
. The company stated that 31 operating TV stations
have already .been forced
cial difficulties, and that
who have received permits for television station con
struction have backe4 out after further consideration
of the potential revenue. E.C.F.
Plastic Fruit Bags
Developments in the packaging of fruit, used by
many packers of-this area, recently-were recognized
in' an extensive article in the Wall Street Journal, the
financial and business world's top publication.
It was plastic bags, which are used to encase the
fruit and are then exhausted of air, which drew the
Journal's attention. The developments, which have
been reported from time to
were reviewed by the Journal in an article written by
btaif Keporter Kay . J. Schnck. . ,
DEARS are the main crop to get the protection of
the plastic sacks, the article reports, although
cherries, .grapes and some kinds of apples also are
thus packed. The use of the bags slows up the "breath
ing" of the fruit,-and the life of pears in cold storage
is lengthened by six to eight weeks, and pears on
shelves also will last up to twice as long.
Results include better pears, and more competi
tion among fruits, Schrick
longer penod of time m which they can be marketed.
v One produce buyer in Yakima was quoted as say
ing that about a third of winter pears to be purchased
this year will be in the boxes lined with plastic film.
They will be shipped next spring to New York, Dallas,
Wichita, Kansas City, Little Rock and Washington,
D. C, among other points in the country.
fNE cherry producer in Washington cited another,
benefit, that of decreased shipping costs. Longer
life for the cherries means they can be safely shipped,
by freight, rather than express, saving almost half on
shipping costs.
More than a quarter of the 4,000,000-box winter
pear pack on the West Coast will move to market
in the new bags, according to estimates by the Oregon-Washington-California
Pear bureau. This will
amount to about 1,000,000 boxes, or ten times the
number so shipped last year.
Magnitude of the entire industry is shown by
estimates which place the three-state crop value of
winter pears alone at $16,000,000 or some 90 per
cent of the supply for the entire nation. E.A.
Plywood Industry Sees Banner Year

long strike. The industry begins
1955 with 51 softwood plywood

Aluminum Executive
Sees Bright Future
Pittsburgh (U.B I. W. Wil
son, president of Aluminum
Company of America, said to
day "the future of the aluminum
industry continues to be bright
with promise." . -
"The market outlook of 1955
is good," he said, "and new mar
kets for aluminum are develop
ing steadily."
"The rate of aluminum ship
ments for civilian use in 1954
was even higher than in boom
year , 1953," Wilson said in a
year-end-statement.
"The 1954 production, of pri
mary aluminum by the industry
in the United States should
amount to approximately 1,460,
000 tons or more than 16 per
cent above the record-breaking
tonnage of 1953."

French Approval of
Western E u ropean
Union Tops News
By CHARLES -M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The week's good and bad news
on the . international balance
sheet:
THE GOOD
: 1. The French National Assem
bly approved the ratification of
the Western European Union
treaties which provide- for the
arming of Western Germany.
The vote was close, but it saved
the United States-British-French
alliance, and it was given desipte
French fears of the might of a
rearmed Germany and despite
the desperate protests and
threats of Soviet Russia. Rati
fication by the French Senate
is expected by a larger vote,
and it is hoped that all member
countries will ratify the treaties
by March.' Later, the Big Three
Western, allies may decide to
hold a showdown cold war con
ference with Russia.
2. U. J N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold left New
York on his portentous mission
to Peiping to' seek the release
of 11 Americans' imprisoned by
the Chinese Communists as spies.
He will seek also the release
of about 2,850 other U. N. per
sonnel, including 526 Americans
still held in violation of the
Korean armistice. In Peiping,
Hammarskjold will meet Chinese
Communist Premier Chou En-lai.
Strong hope was held at the
U. N. that out of Hammarskjold's
mission may come an agreement
which will free not only the 11
airmen but 'other prisoners.
3. There seemed reason to be
lieve that Soviet Russia also
might free some of the Ameri
cans held in its slave labor
camps. Austrians who arrived in
Vienna after being freed by the
Russians said three Americans
long held as slave laborers had
been promised their freedom
"very soon" and that many oth-

sented, decided to invite Com
munist China to a big meeting
of Asian and African states
next spring. Also invited will
be Communist northern Viet
Nam and some of Great Brit
ain's African colonies. This con
ference can result only in stir
ring up trouble for the West.
It could result in the formation
of a "neutralist" and "anti-colonial"
Asia-African bloc.
2. Red China showed an un
pleasantly strong interest in
Communist northern Viet Nam.
It was disclosed that the Chinese
Red regime had agreed to aid
the Indochinese Communist state
in "improving its communica
tions." The communications al
ready are being used, it is sus
pected, in supplying the Indo
Chinese Communists with war
materials in violation of the Gen
eva peace agreement. ,
3. Britain enters the new year
beset by labor troubles. Eleven
thousand automobile workers
struck Thursday in protest
against the firing of four union
organizers. The engineers ' and
maintenance men of the great
government - owned British Air
Lines threatened to strike in pro
test against the "victimization"
of a shop steward. The country's
400,000 railway men were set
to strike and threaten paralysis
of industry on Jan. 9 unless
their wage demands were met

SNOW MAKES WATER

r'LOAK-AND-DAGGER stuff:
Over in Germany, an Amer
ican intelligence officer became
romantically involved with an
eye-appealing German blonde
As too often happens, he let his
tongue run too freely on mat
ters that an intelligence officer
he should have kept buttoned
up. . .
The gal turned out to be a
Russian spy, and has just been
sentenced to five years in jail.
The intelligence officer's name
hasn't been disclosed, but you
can lay a fair-sized wager that
he isn't sleeping well these days.
THIS much is clear:
. He blabbed.
So he isn't a good intelligence
officer. A good intelligence of
ficer never confides in anybody
. . . especially good-looking
blondes.
ttPIES? '
We've been trained to de
spise 'em.
But as long as there is war or
preparation for war we have to
have 'em. War and preparation
for war are rugged business, and
if you are to succeed in either
you have to know what the oth
er fellow has up his sleeve.
THE news these days is full of
tales of what the new Con
gress will do when it assembles
next week. One tale is to the ef
fect that the Congress- may au
thorize more low-rent PUBLIC
housing than the President will
recommend.
Personally, I don't think much
of low-rent public housing. It's
about as near pure socialism as
we can get. It is paid for by
ALL the taxpayers and is en
joyed by only a FEW or them.
That's more than mere social
ism. It's DISCRIMINATION, as
well.
LOW rate, low down payment
loans for private home build
ing is another matter. That stim
ulates private, personal owner
ship of homes which is good
for any country. .
LET'S close with the tale of the
hot-tempered Spaniard in the
Spanish village of Lugo who has
been sent to jail for shooting
holes in the tires of an automo
bile. The car was parked out
side his, house, with its motor
running, and he claims the noise
disturbed his wife s siesta.
I sometimes wish he could be
around with his trusty blunder
buss to take a pot shot at the
horn honkers who lean hard on
the button while the light is still
red and the cars in front are
just as anxious to get going as
the horn honker but CAN'T.

too much for that. Nature, is

History Point Checked
Pastor Heltze, the President's
preacher in Augusta, is a most
engaging man. Just before. his
sermon last Sunday, he ran down .
the street with his black vest

point of history with reporters.
Heltzel wanted to refer to the .
Christmas celebrations , on the -Argentine-Chile
border as an ex- .
ample of peaceful symbolism
and did not know whether there '
had been any recent blow-up
between the two nations. There ;
hasn't. "

Wants All the Robins Killed
To the Editor: Just finished
reading your "Roosting place for

grand thing it would be for all,
if they could all be killed off.
The past few years it has be

Mr. Thompson
To the Editor: I. cannot .quite .
go along with Mr. Thompson and
his article in the Mail Tribune of
recent date about Christmas. In
the first placeI think we can just
as well believe December 25 is
the right date as October 1, as
long as the Lord has not revealed
to Mr. Thompson which is the
right date. And let us not single
out in particular the great evil"
m cnildren playing ' with war-:
toys. When the world 4s so full?
of other and worse , evils. I am
sure cigarette and liquor adve'r-'
tisements on the radio and TV,
lead more kids astray than war
toys. At any rate, Christmas is a
season of love and .rood 'WUl

Jesus came to bring peace and
love into the world and to teach
us a better-way of life. God
would not have planted the Tree .
of Knowledge in the Garden of
Eden if it had not been for our
good. By eating of the forbidden
fruit, Adam and Eve brought
death and sin into the world, and
Jesus came to atcne,for Adam's"
transgression and to bring im-
mortality to all who will have "
lived upon the earth.
Sin is the transgression of the
law, 1 John 3:4; see also Romans
chapter. Were it not for our
knowledge of good and evil it
would be impossible for us. to
progress, and we certainly could.
not appreciate the good if we did
not come in contact with the bad.
In other words, we would riot
know the sweet if we didn't
know the bitter. It is up to us to
teach our children the difference
between good and evil and to
show them the better way of life
by living it ourselves. We will do:
well to be in harmony with hu
man nature and with the Master'
Teacher and to be more positive
than negative in our religious
living and teaching. -i
