Consider Satellite At *125,000 Cost As plans were being made in the O'Neill region to make arrange ments for a satellite television sta tion, the Federal Communications Commission extended their dead line to September 30. Representative Don McGinley was notified by the FCC that tele vision booster stations would l>e given until September 30 to con vert from very high frequency channels to ultra high frequency channels. On December 30, the O'Neill Ixxister along with all others were given 90 days to convert. A privately owned and oper ated satellite television station in the O’Neill area could cost $125,000 according to Frank J. Brady, chairman of the north central Television Association. The association, a recently or ganized group of men, with head quarters in Atkinson, is behind a move to help introduce snow-free TV reception in this area. “Although I do not know just how we would raise the money as yet, a corporation would probably have to be formed and a private business started,” he said. The plans to either Introduce a satellite privately or interest other TV stations in operating it in the O’Neill area has grown out of the FCC order to stop the TV l>ooster station in O'Neill. Other alternatives are l>eing looked into by the association and men from WOW in Omaha and KTIV in Sioux City have been con tacted. Brady said KTIV had "just been contacted” but that there was "a possibility they might introduce and operate the satellite them selves.” Brady said he was informed that $5,000 In commercial reven ue per month In the area could make the station pay for Itself. If the booster stations are con verted to UHF, it would require expensive changes in television receivers in their broadcasting area to receive the new transmis sions. The satellite station possibility, which is most strongly considered in this area, would receive a pro gram from a mother station and rebroadcast it on a different VHF channel.

Take any little O’Neill kid with a patch in the middle of his pants and a gleam in the middle of his eye. Let the weather be fair—a cool 70 degrees will do—and give him a beat-up baseball bat ana a broken-down glove his brother wore out three years ago. Slap down three gunny sacks and the end of a crate. Ru tele up an old ball—so what if the, cover’s oL Cry the cry of Yankee Stadium or any little sand lot square in any little village from Lynch to Los Angeles. When you holler “play ball!” make like you mean it. When you tell the kid he’s out, make like you mean that too. And when you’ve done it, you’ve done more than the building of a child’s character. You’ve done more than the reflecting of and adding to the wealth of America. You’ve done more, perhaps, than the starting of another Ty Cobb. You’ve done more than the keeping of a kid out of trouble. You’ve done more than the building of a better future C1 Neill citizen. <■ Here’s what you have done: You’ve made ihJu patched pants kid happy. You know it when he leaps high in the air a he*, his team just scores so what if the run wa!k«lr in. You know it when he throws his glove bigt . n the air just after his buddy hits a home-run-** what if it was really the shortstop’s error You know it the way he drags his way nonw after a defeat—or a win- and say’s “Mum I** tired.” You know it the way he shows up the netft day win or lose—and says. “Coach, how about iettin* me pitch today?” And if you don’t believe it, just ask a few of the* O'Neill men who coach the little league and pee wee teams: Joe Ollendick, manager of the midgets and Jure ior Legion teams, Fred Appleby, Jerry SchmxJt, Clyde McKenzie, Father Duffy, Francis Gilg an* Jim Holsclaw, managers of the Pee Wees.
