Dies At Age 64 BERWICK Earl V. Wise, who died yesterday at the age of 64, was a living testimony to the verity of the legend of American enterprise. Were it not for the basic American ingredients of energy, intelligence, application and the free enterprise system that allow ed these talents to flourish to their fullest extent, Mr. Wise might have spent his life as a small town grocer. Instead he rose to become the founder and head of one of the nations most significant food enterprises.

Wise Potato Chip of Berwick. Early in 1921, Mr. Wise operat ed a grocery store in Berwick, Pa. Finding himself with an over supply of potatoes, he began to experiment with them on his mothers kitchen range. From this typically American small beginning came Wise Potato Chips.

Mr. Wise first sold them in his grocery store, but the demand grew until he devoted his entire time to their manufacture and to the development of one of the largest potato chip manufactur ing companies in the world. By 1944 Wise Potato Chips were well known over much of the eastern seaboard. A disastrous fire in April 1944 destroyed the entire plant. Almost before the embers were cold Mr.

Wise was planning an even-bigger manufacturing facility. Eight months later his potato chips Over 600,000 blankets are need- were again on the market. In ed for the to combat!

(UPI) Notes to watch television by: The trend to long-long shows continues ABC TVs Wagon Train expands to 90 minutes next season, and there are reports CBS-TVs Gunsmoke may do the Gunsmoke goes to 90 minutes, it would start the same time as ABC-TVs new two-hour Jerry Lewis show on Saturday nights in the fall; their mutual opponent is NBC-TVs Saturday night began as a half-hour program. Another new ABC-TV series reported set for 90 minutes is The Travels of Jamie McPheeters, based on the book, and described by some as not unlike the Wagon Train idea. answer to CBS-TVs The Beverly Hillbillies may come in a wagon Train episode called Charley Wooster: Outlaw, airing Feb. 20; Its a test film for a possible hour-long hillbilly comedy CBS-TV already has another half-hour series stemming from its Hillbillies for the fall.

Sponsor representatives are upset by CBS-TVs plans to shift "The Beverly Hillbillies from 9 to 8:30 p.m. EST Wednesdays in the autumn; their argument is, Why toy with a hot property? one of their obvious points is that the comedy would run into the last half-hour of NBC-TVs 90-minute The Virginian. if the shift goes through, Hillbillies would be followed on CBS on Wednesdays by half-hours with Dick Van Dyke and Phil Silvers, and an hour with Danny Kaye. With CBS and NBC going for big-name talents for regulars next season, ABC-TVs formula, in part seems to be to expand its commercial properties where possible to get as much of them on the air Algerian Relief Service Topic At Church Here DANVILLE The Algerian Relief Program will be the topic of the 7:30 p.m. service, tomorrow, at Trinity Methodist Church.
