Fund Drive for World Series Game Word was received this morning from the advertising agency representing the Gillette Safety Razor Companie that they would be able the 1955 World Series available to Channel 13 viewers provided some means could be arranged for handling the line charges from Omaha to Axtell.

The agency stated that if this could be done they would be able to have NBC-TV feed the games live to KHOL TV. In 1954 television station absorbed the line charges which were at that time quite nominal. However, NBC is no longer sending its cross- country programs on the same used by CBS and AB the two networks now picked up live by Channel 13. Therefore, these charges have mushroomed to a point that makes it not economically feasible for the station to handle them.For this reason we are forming the committee For the World Series on Television to raise the funds to pay these line charges. This will be done in the following manner.

The costs of carrying the game will be total broken $266.65 down per to hour. $66.67 This for each quarter hour, or any portion thereof. The station estimates from past experience that the maximum cost will be $5,600.00 for a seven game series. 2. Any amount collected in excess of the actual line charges will be donated to a worthy charity to be selected by the committee.

3. The television station will bill the committee for the line charges only, and the committee will write a check for this amount. The station has requested that it not be involved in the handling of any of the funds for collection, and the committee has agreed to take care of this function. 4. All funds are to be sent to World Series, Harlan County Bank, Alma, Nebr.

This bank has agreed to handle these funds, tabulate the amount, and record the areas donating. It is from this account that the checks. to cover the line charges and to be donated to charity will be written. Tom Coffey, Chairman Committee for World Series On Television The amount of $5,600.00 must be collected and deposited no later than the close of business Saturday, September 24th. This must be done in order that all arrangements can be made for these lines to be set up and connected.
