Page Ten The Messenger, Madisonville, Tuesday, October 16, 1973 State Amazing from page 1 blackouts. But no one is worried. The contract between The television station and The school says the station will pay the difference to the school if gate receipts are under $4,000 ($2,000 for a rainy night). WEATIIERFORD SAYS that while no attempt was made to sell advertising in Madisonville, the broadcast is designed to serve the Madisonville audience as much as Paducah sports fans. Weatherford does promise, however, some "instant replays" and informative comment by staff sports regulars Gabbv Bell ard Cobbo Wyatt.

It is difficult to please all of the people all of the time, but those who arc willing to try are encouraged to come to the game, listen to the action on their transistor radio, and watch the replays on their portable, battery-powered color TV's. the color broadcast, the signal reaching his television will have traveled some 144 miles to bridge the 200 yard gap, because all this is involved: The signals from the two color cameras mounted in sections A and of the reserved seat section will go to a mixing console where director Rich O'Dell will decide which signal will go out. The signal goes to a parabolic dish recently positioned on the roof of the Maroon press box by South Central Bell Telephone Co. toll supervisor Ted Armstrong and a group of technicians. From here, only one watt of power is needed to beam a micro-wave signal the few blocks to the South Central telephone micro-wave tower.

HERE, USING additional special equipment ordered from Louisville for the telecast, the signal is sent by way of two more relays near Providence and Kentucky Lake to the Paducah telephone office. The signal is then received by WDXR-TV and sent back to Madisonville and other surrounding cities by means of the conventional television transmitter. For subscribers to Madisonville Cablevision, the signal receives one more alteration as it is received, amplified, and translated from the channel 29 frequency to channel 3. ARMSTRONG said that while it is "pretty much standard procedures for micro-wave, it's kind of a challenge." "It wouldn't be so delicate if it weren't color. If it was just black and white, we could send 'trash' down the line and it wouldn't matter," he added.

No one seems to question how the telecast will affect attendance at the game, even in view of the national controversy regarding televised sports Nightmare from page 1 Agnew said. "But the prosecution's assertion that I was the initiator and the grey eminence in an unprecedented and complex scheme of extortion is just not realistic," he said. Agnew resigned last Wednesday and pleaded no contest to the tax charge, on which he was sentenced to a $10,000 fine and three years' probation. In return for this the Justice Department agreed not to prosecute him on the other charges, but made them public. Agnew said he reached the decision to resign only a few days beforehand, and prior to that had been determined to fight for his integrity and his office, regardless of the cost.

Rut he said that because of crises facing the nation, including the war in the Middle East and the Watergate scandal, he felt the American people needed a vice president in whom they could have total trust and confidence. In a copyrighted interview Monday by the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, a "broken and bitter" Agnew was quoted as saying pressure from highest levels of the Nixon administration forced him to quit and plead no contest on the tax charge. While this suggested Agnew believes Nixon engineered the end of his political career, he said nothing about it Monday. Saying he wanted to avoid "a paroxysm of bitterness" in his final appearance, he praised Nixon for his leadership and said he had "borne a heavy burden in his attempt to be both fair to me and faithful to his oath of office." from page 1 before noon today said, "The management of WTTL regrets that the Hopkins County Board of Education is against freedom of speech and it would appear the school board has enough problems of their own to tackle the additional jot) of trying to run a radio station which is serving the public. "WTTL did not make the statement a listener did.

Furthermore, the manager of WTTL was threatened with bodily harm by the principal of Charleston School and the radio station in five local newscasts reported that Mr. Ramsey denied the allegations. "We feel we have no further obligation." IN OTHER BUSINESS, Learning Resource Center director John McCIearn, representing himself and education supervisors Mrs. Helen Ford and Mrs. Sue Jent recommended to that a portion of the LRC facility be equipped with bookshelves sufficient to convert to receiving and shipping of all county textbooks.

McCIearn said that he and those either whom he had comfetred felt that such a centralized free book depository would be the most efficient system, and, after initial shelving costs, a more economical system. The board agreed to proceed with the plan. In other business relative to the redistricting of board member's voting areas, as reported in Monday's Messenger, Supt Crowe advised that figures of voter re-registration by precinct would soon be available, and, if necessary, action could be taken at that time.

Instead, refiners and retailers alike will have to wait until their increased costs amount to at least a cent per gallon before imposing any increase at all. Council director John T.

THE POSSIBILITY of an immediate raise by five cents in the price of school lunches was mentioned in other business, as food service supervisor Mrs.

Frances Spain reported that lunchroom personnel had requested raises. Mrs. Spain added that price agreements for most food items would expire Oct. 31 and that expected price increases would further require lunch increases. Some 85 persons are employed in the lunchrooms of the school system with a base pay before increments of $1.60 per hour, or a daily payroll in excess of $1,100.

Prior to taking any action on the matter, the board asked that lunchrooms be surveyed as to their efficiency and the possibilities of under or over-staffing. IN OTHER ACTION, the board voted to authorize Thomas to notify radio station WTTL of the board's request for a retaction of a statement made by a caller during the station's "Coalfield Comments" program regarding misconduct of an unnamed male teacher at the Charleston School. Thomas advised that since WTTL had failed to use any kind of precautionary device, such as a tape-delay system, the station was responsible for the content of the call. Some board members felt the comment was given unwarranted and possibly libelous publicity because it was repeated during the station's news broadcasts during the day. While the board expressed its support for the "Free press" system, it felt such unfounded remarks could be considered defamatory.
