Will new low-poyypr licenses be granted allowing one or r-ByStevePenn A Member Of the Stall The students gathered in the class-rpom were of varying ages Some wore conservative business suits others wore jeans and T-shirts A few slumped in the plastic chairs and gazed absent-mindedly around the room others were alert and attentive All were there for the same reason to lern the driving tactics that could keep safe ami help them avoid brushes with the law i held recently Johnson County offices in Mission was one of the dozens bf state-Sponsored classes that are held across Missouri and Kansas for drivers who have been found guilty of numerous traffic violations Judges in either state may order violators to attend the classes but sometimes drivers may attend voluntarily Not all of the students want to attend the classes but sometimes their reluctance vanishes before the ses sions are over a driyer will come in to one of these clinics and take the attitude that since he just has a record of a few violations but no accidents that he just has to go through the said Henry Staudte who teaches all such state-sponsored classes in Kansas forgetting is that mistakes cause But Mr Staudte added: students come back and thank you for your guidance They tell you that you did a good job Sometimes they even invite members of their families to class but we can only do that if we have enough room to accommodate Last year 5725 drivers attended 191 A subscription television station was to have begun broadcasting on Channel 62 in Kansas City by now It was to have offered a pay TV service without the necessity of a cable connection by transmitting a scrambled signal that could be clarified only by electronic black boxes in the homes of subscribers The station still is being planned said Edward Schneiderman president of the company that won the license tor Channel 62 Speaking from his law office in Milwaukee Mr Schneiderman blamed the delays on technical problems takes time to do the he said a lot of planning that goes into it already ordered some of the equipment but there is a long waiting time for delivery IBs current projection calls for the station to operate by the end of this year or by early 1963 No location has been selected No arrangements for tower space rental have been made I speculated earlier that the station may never be built by Mr Schneider-man's company which recently changed its name from SelecTV of Kansas City Inc to Choice Channel of Kansas City Inc Several applications to provide the service in Kansas City on new low-power TV stations have been made to the Federal Communications Commission The same over-the-air pay-TV service could be provided on low-power facilities at a fraction of the expense of a full-service station such as Channel 62 The FCC was expected to resolve the low-power applications early this year until federal budget cuts hampered its ability to process more than 5000 applications from across the nation Now how long it will take is guess Another mitigating factor is the accelerated construction of cable TV systems in Kansas City Virtually the entire metropolitan area is scheduled to be wired for cable by the end of the year The possibility of a subscription TV service on new low-power stations and the reality of pay TV becoming available to nearly everyone on cable seem to pose strong competitive threats to Channel 62 not going to stop Mr Schneiderman said going to move ahead our intention We are negotiating for a location and have placed orders for the commencement of construction The license application states that Channel tower will be leased to support a Channel 62 transmitting antenna A Channel 19 spokesman said the lower woijld not support another ititeima without costly improvements to strengthen it A meeting was set up to discuss the matter in September but was called off by Mr group XY Bob GreanspanStaff Henry Staudte who teaches driver awareness classes for the state of Kansas discusses the new types of highway signs suming or they begrudge having to take time off work several officials involved in the program said The alternative not showing up for the class when ordered can result in revocation of a license in both states according to state consequences of bad driving through films experiences and lots of statistics Some folks see the point we are getting at immediately and others never see the point of this at all Sometimes elderly people are uncomfortable being in such a class with younger drivers and some younger people find the classes too time-con to drive in the rain for instance and how to control a car in a skid most classes there is a review of the laws that govern our Mr Staudte said I explain the Some counselors are busy when needed more competing subscription services?
