The station was the first to bring local TV coverage to the Raleigh-Durham area, and was North Carolina's pioneer UHF station. At the time it first went the air three years ago, there were only two other stations in North Carolina. In a statement of appreciation issued last night, General Manager John Bone announced that second UHF transmitter had been' built, and, he added.

"If the all-channel system is adopted by the Federal Communications Commission, we will be ready with plans for a new transmitter site, and a tower, with 5,000,000 watts power. This will enable us to give CBS service a coverage area second to none in North Carolina. WNA0-Radio Station was started in 1946 by The News and Observer which later sold most of the stock in the company to the Sir Walter Television Company. The Sir Walter started TV operations shortly thereafter, on July 12, 1953. WNA0-TV TV was first located in studios next to the present News and Observer building on South McDowell Street in downtown Raleigh.

In June, 1955, it moved its present location in the RadioTelevision Center on Western The Sir Walter Company also owns and operates RaWKIX which is also located in the Radio-Television Center. "We are very gratified with the reception we have received from the public over the three years just passed," Bone said. "We hope we can continue to receive the public's cooperation as we strive to provide better programming in the years to come. "We are especially proud of our public service record during the three-year-period just ended," Bone continued. "We have never refused time, facilities or the services of our personnel for a legitimate public service effort." In this connection, he pointed the record which shows that WNA0-TV has -produced public service programs for five minutes or more for more than 227 organizations.

"This TV Bone added, "amounts to well over $1,000,000." "We are equally proud to have been able to serve the city, county and State governments, religious denominations, retail chants and provide entertainment. "This three years been without breaking trials situations. and, at times, Weehave hearthad bad luck with the elements, storms, wind and the like. "I wish to thank said, "for the cooperation and derstanding which they have shown the Sir Walter Television Company." Bone paid tribute to his staff, "one of the most experienced the South" and "in all my perience in this industry, I have never seen our record equalled." "'We are tremendously enthusiastic about the future of television and of WNAO-TV." In observance of today's anniversary, WNA0-TV's cameras give the viewer a visit behind scenes at 12:30 p. 1:30 p.

Bennett, the Wake County coroner, and John Motley Morehead, the New York millionaire, will serve another year as officials of the State-controlled North Carolina Railroad Company. Governor Hodges, who saw to their appointment a year ago, recommended yesterday that the NCRR directors reappoint them for new one-year terms. Bennett, a farmer and Democrat who has served as county coroner for approximately six years, is the North Carolina Railroad Company's "expert." This means he makes at least one inspection of the roadbed and files a report on his findings.

Morehead, a retired industriallist and Republican, is the company's president. The directors are scheduled to' meet in annual session today in Greensboro. As the State's nominees for other NCRR offices, the Governor recommended Judge Grover Martin of Smithfield for secretarytreasurer and A. M. Carroll of Burlington for attorney.

Judge Martin will succeed John Kerr of Warrenton and Carroll will succeed Hugh McAulay of Charlotte. As candidates for the State's eight seats on the board of directors, the Governor recommended W. Thomas Concord, Harry Bascom Bayness, of Durham, A. Finch of Thomasville, Robert H. Frazier of Greensboro, Thomas Van Noppen of Madison, A.

E. Finley of Raleigh and H. V. Bibberstein of Charlotte. The present directors are Fitchett of Dunn, J.

Lee White of Concord, Paul Stoner of Lexington, Frank Hutton of Greensboro, George H. Clark of Leaksville, Jonathan Woody of Waynesville, Clyde Gordon of Burlington and Morehead. As candidates for the State's three seats on the NCRR board's finance committee, he Harris Nelson Sr. of Spray, R. G.

Deyton of Winston-Salem and Hiram Worth of Greensboro. The present three State members of the committee are Harris, Worth and Faison Thompson of Goldsboro. The State's votes for the Governor's slate will be cast by State Treasurer Edwin Gill. He was appointed yesterday as the State's prexy. Morehead is a North Carolina native and a grandson of the John Motley Morehead, whose marble bust stands in the State Capitol retunda.

The first John Motley Morehead served two terms as governor and has been called the father of the North Carolina Railroad. The State controls two railroad companies--the Atlantic and North Carolina and the NCRR. The owns the tracks between Goldsboro and Morehead City and leases them to a private stock company, the Atlantic and East Carolina Railroad. The NCRR owns the tracks between Goldsboro, Greensboro and Charlotte and leases them to the Southern Railway. Since the Southern maintains the property and pays rent as well, NCRR officials are not burdened with duties.

Teen- Employment Up A peacetime record in the numher of teen-agers in vacation jobs is expected this summer, says Commerce Clearing House, national reporting authority on tax and business law. More employment certificates have been reported to the U. S. Department of Commerce than at any time since World War II. CCH warns that employers of this flood of job seekers face numerous requirements under state and federal wage and hour laws.

Certificates for employing minors under 18 are required in all but three states, Idaho, Mississippi and South Carolina. Permits are required for practically all jobs including those as lifeguard, hotel bus boy, caddie, ticket sellers, shoeshiners or messengers, and as a girl waitress in a tearoom, counselor in a summer camp, or as a clerk in a 5 and 10 store. Most of the state laws apply to young people between 10 and 18 years, but some regulate up to 21 years. The minimum for jobs in interstate commerce is generally 16 for children, and the Secretary of Labor can establish the kind of work in which 14 and 15 year olds can engage. In many states, employers are required to apply for the certificates; in others, the job seeker must name the employer in the application.

Employers, particularly farmers who hire crew managers or labor contractors, are responsible for observance of the rules, CCH states. Among the regulations to be checked by employers, according to the CCH review, are the following: 1. Federal prohibition against employment of persons under 18 in 12 hazardous occupations, except as apprentices, trainees or student learners. These are work in mines and coal mining, explosive plants, logging operations, slaughtering houses; work involved in operation of power machinery in bakery, paper products and sheet metal industries; work involving exposure to radioactive substances, operapower-driven woodworking machines, operation of power hoists or elevators, and as truck driver or helper. 2.

Laws in 31 states list tions against employment of those under 18 certain industries. 3. Special age and employment certificates required in other states. 4. Local laws prohibit certain work by teen-agers, such as employment of anyone under 18 years, and in some cases 21 years, in a place that serves alcoholic liquors for consumption on the premises.

5. Labor regulations must be posted where minors are employed under laws of 28 states and the District of Columbia. 6. Under federal laws, employers must ascertain ages of children to be employed in commerce, in production of goods for commerce, and for establishments producing goods for shipment in commerce. However, an officially executed age certificate shall be a defense.

against employment of an underage child. The most important exception to coverage under the federal act is employment of children under 16 by their parents in occupations other than mining and manufacturing, or those listed as hazardous, and employment of children in agriculture outside of school hours. Children who deliver newspapers to residential subscribers are excluded as well, according to the CCH review. Cooler Weather Will End Our enjoyable break in the weather is just about over. But, maybe it won't end all at once.

The five day forecast indicates a slow warming trend between today and Monday. FAIR AND WARMER There will be slowly rising temperatures through Saturday with little change in temperatures on Sunday or Monday. Scattered afternoon and evening thundershowers are forecast beginning Saturday afternoon. The overall five day forecast indicates: Temperatures will average above normal for the season; rainfall will be less than one-half an inch. Yesterday was the second day this summer that no Tar Heel City went into the 90's heat-wise.

"We are not going to interfere," Hodges said. Conner is scheduled to die in the gas chamber Friday morning for the holdup slayir of Langston Roberts, superintendent of the Negro juvenile detention home at Winston-Salem. Roberts was shot to death May 24, 1954, at his wife's grocery store. After his first conviction on a first degree murder charge, Conner granted a new trial by the State Supreme Court. The second trial also resulted in a conviction and a death sentence.

Conner was scheduled to die May 2, but -Hodges granted a 30- day reprieve to allow time for a study of the case. The reprieve ran out at the end of last month.
