station and the city doesn't like it It has told the Federal Communi-cations Commission as much five minutes from Ncwi it is difficult to northern Kentucky recognition" The background of the protest' goes back some 11 years when owners of WNOP and WSAI went to Washington to seek the last remaining Ultra High Frequency station grant in the area WSAI withdrew and Channel 74 was given to James Lang WNOP owner A construction permit was granted on Christmas Eve 1954 Lang felt northern Kentucky needed UHF since there were only three other such TV stations in Kentucky two at Louisville and one at

station in this community would greatly enhance the financial and industrial potential of the city as well as the other cities within the county" were lauded by the FCC Why did Lang sell if a UHF channel would be such an asset to Newport? felt that being a member of a chain of UHF stations would he more of an asset to the local UI1F station than operating it solely on a local basis In other words the station would benefit from a small network And commercially as a member of a small network it would do much belter in time sales" Lang said decision was also influenced by the fact that it takes 10 times more money and 20 times more personnel to operate a TV station than it does to run a radio station" Shopping for Photo By Christmas in full -y Before the sale Alfeo Martina Cincinnati

projectors so the complete show is automatic The projector changes slides when it receives an inaudible signal from the tape recorder and allows taped voice and musical background If you have a

blazing sun to a moonlit landscape They are wonderful for a photographer interested in available-light work It is possible to get an accurate reading under light conditions that would not record on other light meters IF YOUR photographer is a dark-room fan you might consider a small radio to keep him company The new all-transistor radios do not glow in the dark as do tubes and it is not necessary to turn them off when handling light-sensitive film or paper Don't overlook a subscription to one of the photography magazines This is probably the easiest way to keep abreast of the rapidly

for making photographs The processes involve Uning very thin layers of silver halide as the photographic film and techniques for transferring the images possible with the film They were developed by scientists at Technical Operations Inc Burlington Mass THIS UNUSUAL film has a thin coating of silver halide that does not contain the gelatin used in conventional film emulsions The coating layer is only one hundred thousandth of an Inch thick It is deposited by evaporation methods in a vacuum Conventional photographic film is usually coated with silver halide as a liquid and the layer is 20 layei to 40 times as thick Because the new film does not contain gelatin to hold grains it can be de veloped fixed and washed in about three seconds The film produces finely detailed images with unusually sharp edges ONE OF THE most prom-hif "it specialized type of film will be to photographically tag tiny electronic components now being made so small that it is impossible to print identification on them Ordinary gelatin films melt at the temperatures aA which electronic parts operate for this highly as umi as VOIWI HOME MORTGAGE LOAN Rrhon yon buy build finance or rcfinanco and
