lola is in a "fringe" area so far as television is concerned. The signals travel in a line and oo become higher and higher above the surface of the earth as they travel from the point where they originate. Eventually they become so high that no antenna can reach them. Since lola is at least 90 miles from the nearest teldvisfon station the beams are at a fairly high elevation when they reachnhis area. Hence reception here is more dlffl- i cull than in areas within a radiua I of 30 or 40 miles of the televising I center.

At least a portion of this conception is ba.scd upon theories i which have not been fully tcsteiJ. Actually there is evidence i that television beams do bend or arc ttlcflcclcd when certain atmospheric conditions prevail. R. Murphey said today. Murphey.
