Watch for Those $1.00 Bills Each One Is Worth $5 I 90111501 I 90111502 I 90111503 I 90111504 Radio Anthracite, operator of Station WISL in Shamokin, has applied for a permit to construct and operate a Television Station on Channel 65. This is in keeping with a company policy of continued progress in the field of broadcasting. It is impossible to state definitely, or even to assume, vvhen such a television broadcasting station construction permit might be granted to Radio Anthracite, or if it will be granted at all. Such decisions must be made by the Federal Communications Commission which is making every effort to process applications as'soon as possible. However, a tremendous backlog of applications in both radio and television has taxed the capacity of the FCC.

to the limit, and we, as applicants can make no forccosts on the WISL application. Be thot os it may, we will bend every effort toward community and area welfore in every possible way, whether it be in radio, television, or personol services.
