PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED1 FRAMES REPAIREDI ON-PREMISES FAST SERVICE LABI By ALVIN BENN West Alabama Bureau SELMA WSLA-TV of Selma is flexing its muscles after a federal ruling apparently cleared the way for construction of a new antenna to boost its power and prestige. Efforts to build a taller tower in Lowndes County have been under way for several years along with protests from a Montgomery TV station with the same CBS network affiliation. A recent ruling by the Federal Communications Commission approved an application by WSLA's parent company to build a tower 32 miles southwest of Montgomery in Lowndes County, 23 miles southeast of Selma. Edward Kuhlmann, administrative law judge for the FCC, said in his ruling he could find no evidence that increased power by WSLA-TV would jeopardize the service of WCOV-TV and WKAB-TV in Montgomery.

"We don't feel it's in the public interest to allow a station licensed in Selma to make a move just south of Montgomery and become- a Montgomery station," said Karl Richards, general manager of WCOV-TV. "We feel Selma will lose by that and this is unfair to the existing stations which have struggled over the years to become financially able to do a better job." George Singleton, general manager of WSLA-TV, points to the current size of his station and a long-range plan to make it more powerful and competitive. "We want to be a big regional station," he said Wednesday, during an interview at his office. "We want to be on an equal footing with the stations in Montgomery and, as far as competition is concerned, we'd be up against Channel 12 (WSFA-TV) more than WCOV." The latest Arbitron ratings place WSLA-TV in 211th place out of 215 market areas while the Montgomery market is 118th. Ratings indicate viewing audiences and those numbers are converted to advertising charges which help determine station sophistication and staff size.

The Selma station now has a 393-foot tower behind its building which covers eight counties in west Alabama. The new tower, said Singleton, is designed to reach 24 counties and would cost up to $4 million. He said WSLA cannot increase the size of its tower in Dallas County because of flight patterns through the county. GRAND WINNER 2 pr.

"It's time for me to take up living again," she said. "I've had some time, and some privacy, to come to terms with my grief." Also, she said, "I guess I had to prove to myself I could do it alone here." Mrs. Allen said she planned to live with her daughter and son-in-law. She has a son in Birmingham and another in Deland, and, she "I have nine grandchildren I never get to see. "I went down there the last of May and they really did a job on me.
