to pay television?
defeated so far by
1 "vested inter-

teaming with
theaters to
bring first-run
movies into
homes.
For four
years Teleme
ter, the best
known pay TV
. i
Aim M.ubv sysiem ownea
mostly by Paramount Studio,
has failed to become a practical
reality. The Federal Communi
cations Commission, swamped
with arguments against pay TV
from television networks, has
taken no action yet on the sub
ject. Even a try in Palm Springs
by Telemeter to operate on a
closed circuit, requiring no FCC
approval, flopped because stu
dios refused to -send first-run
films.
A TV-Film Merger
On the theory of if-you-can't-lick-'em-join
'em, Telemeter has
announced it is joining forces
with moviet theaters. Telemeter
now is ready to operate on a
closed circuit system, not re
quiring FCC approval, with
movie theaters piping their first
run films into home TV sets.
Telemeter executives feel this
solves the problem of getting
first-run movies and also elim
inates the vigorous objections
of theater men who thought
they'd be edged out of business.
One theater chain represent
ing 1.000 theaters has contacted
Telemeter about getting fran
chises. An Oklahoma City thea
ter chain already has launched
a sideline to send its movies into
homes without even the benefit
of the Telemeter coin box.
"We hope the FCC will give
some affirmative action for a
Telemeter trial soon," says Lou
Novins, one of the Telemeter
executives. "But as that might
take a year or two to go into
Br AUNf MOSBT
United Prew Correspondent
effect we are going ahead with
this project that does not require
FCC approval. We are now in
business."
Via Telemeter's new system,
the home customer has a coin
box atop his set with slots for
coins and a gadget for keeping
track of his credit if he can't
put in the correct change. A
recorded voice announes what
is playing on the pay TV chan
nel or channels.
The films would be trans
mitted from a studio in the
movie theater. The theater still
would be open for regular pa
trons. Possible Installation Charge
Installation of Telemeter boxes
would be free or cost around
510, depending on what the thea
ter decides to charge.
"Vested interests have opposed
our project," Novins says. "But
there have been changes in both
television and movies that have
brought pay TV closer to opera
tion." Telemeter spokesmen point out
that with TV production costs
mounting, sponsors cannot offer
the top shows that pay TV could.
However, the networks long
have argued that their first-rate
programs would keep the home
viewer from dropping any coins
in a box to pay for his entertainment.

MEDFORD, OREGON
By EDNA KING MANDEVILLE
Are you one of those busy
people who loves flowers but
'simply does not have time for
a flower garden?" If you are,
perhaps I can be of help to you.
I've outlined a weekly schedule
of suggestions showing how to
grow an abundance of colorful
flowers all season long in as
little as one hour a week. That's
less time than it takes just to get
started at. most other forms of
recreation, and the rewards caii
be far more satisfying.
You may, of course, alter this
schedule to meet your own
routine, but I don't believe it
will be necessary to add any
tii.ie to that single hour a week.
Just one hour is enough to give
you all the pleasures and .the
unmeasurable satisfaction of
growing your own flowers.
First Week: Plan Your Gar
den. Your first hour, of course,
should cover the actual plotting
of your garden, and it can be
spent with pad and pencil in the
room. You should pick a sunny,
well-drained spot for your gar
den, and to save time I d sug
gest a rectangular garden the
first year, with the planting in
rows. My schedule allows an
hour and a half for spading, so
your garden can be as large as
12' by 25'. If this seems a bit
too large for your first try, you
can start with a smaller size.
You'll find it helpful to draw a
diagram of the plot and mark off
rows about three feet apart,
running north and south if pos
sible. Then you can spenb the
balance of your hour jotting
down a list of your favorite
flowers.
Many Varieties
Second Week: Choose Variet
ties. Now is the time to take your
list to your favorite store where
seeds are sold. It really does my
heart good to see how many
stores have started selling
flower seeds in recent years. Al
most any of them will no doubt
have one large special assort
ment of flower seeds only. But
if there is more than one brand
on sale, I find it wise to buy the
brand with the most varieties, so
you'll have as many as possible
to choose from. Before choosing
a flower on your list, look over
all the brightly colored seed
packets with the different varie
ties of that flower. The pictures
will help you choose the one or
two types that meet your color
and size preferences.
For example, a really complete
assortment will offer you over
two dozen petunias to choose
from, and at least 30 different
zinnias. To me, choosing just the
right varieties for my garden is
one of the biggest thrills of
flower growing. Once you're
standing before the colorful dis
play you'll find that it's not
necessary to confine your choices
to the list you ve prepared. It s
really fun to try a new or un
familiar flower, though if you're
a beginner it might be well if
you stuck to easy-growing varie
ties like calendulas, cosmos.
marigold, nasturtium and zinnia.
Read Information
Do not confine your attention
exclusively to the fronts of the
seed packets, as attractive and as
colorful as they are. The backs
of the packets are fully as im
portant, if not more so. There
you will find valuable informa
tion that will help you to decide
whether a variety is suitable for
your garden. Such features as a
map that tells when to plant in
your locality and pictures of
seedlings that help you "pull the
weeds and not the seeds," are
helpful and important. Some
packets also offer pamphlets of
more detailed instructions, that
you can send for.
Next week I shall conclude
this subject of raising flowers in
one hour, a week by explaining
what to do each week for seven
more weeks.
Your assignment for the 3rd
week is to prepare the soil.
Wednesday. March 27. 1957 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
X-Ray Clinic Will Be Open Thursday
More than 1,200,000 people in
this country have tuberculosis
at this moment," Dr. James E.
Perkins, managing director of
the National Tuberculosis and
Health association, said recently.
These cases are both active
and inactive, and they need
either treatment or medical su
pervision, he noted. Of these
cases 800.000 are inactive: and
400,000 are active, infectious
cases, he pointed out.
Dr. Perkins estimated that
250,000 of the 400.000 active
cases are not under treatment
and are exposing others in their
communities.
Regular annual x-rays are
recognized as one of the most
effective means of finding un
known cases of tuberculosis, he
added.
A chest x-ray clinic is main
tained by the .Jackson County
Public Health association for
the convenience of county resi
dents. Clinic hours are 2 to 5
p.m. every Thursday and 7 to
9 p.m. the first Wednesday eve
ning of each month.

Diem owns a small tractor he
uses to plow his garden each

work in the morning, Diem gets
up a bit early, dons a red hunt
ing outfit and plows the snow
from the sidewalks on both sides
of his street.
"Sometimes I get carried
away and plow around the corn
ers, too," Diem said. "I love to
ridb that tractor."
Diem has been plowing the
sidewalks for his neighbors each
time it snows for the past three
years. Before that he used a
shovel.
