Television Hits New High In Development Broiulrattt* Now on Regular Schedule From New York. >' ?u At i'rcpured by NiiUougl Cluugiuplilc Society, w.taliingtun, D. C.?WNU Service. Television broadcasts in the United States are now on regular schedule and manufacturers have begun the wholesale production of receiving sets as the American public begins to realize the value of this new form of education and entertainment. The inaugural telecast in this country was produced on April 30, 1939, when President Roosevelt opened the New York World^s fair. Since then television has launched Into the air an eye-and-ear-witness Impression of the king and queen of England visiting the fair, of a canary circus, of a baseball game, a boxing bout, a ballet, a swimming contest, a marionette show, a sixday bicycle race, the docking of the new liner Mauretania, a track meet, and a fashion parade. Experts point out that important differences between radio and its sister science of long-distance seeing place difficulties in the way of a nation-wide television network to parallel radio hookups. Yet, tho 1 American people who promptly in- | vite each new scientific marvel into I MASS PRODUCTION. With teleI vision sets noxv on sale at regular I retail prices, manufacturers have I begun assembly line production of receiving units. This picture shows standard instruments in the process of being assembled. the living room, are showing a lively interest in television, although the majority of them are still beyond the reach of current programs. Twenty Tubes to Set. . Television has put into American homes the most complicated instrument yet devised for popular use? a radio set plus. It has about 20 tubes. One of them is the giant cathode-ray vacuum tube 27 inches long that creates the television picture on the top of its flattened bulb by means of a tiny "pencil" of streaming electrons. It has sound controls for volume and high and low pitch adjustments. It has sight controls for focus, speed, size, and centering adjustments of the picture. Television has also put ir.to circulation a new vocabulary?telecast, to correspond to broadcast; video frequencies. as differentiated from the sound wave frequencies of radio; "ike," instead of "mike," for the Tmnncrnnn which rnrrpsnun da to radio's microphone. Ultra-Short Waves Used. From the giant antenna on the Empire State building a quarter of a mile above the earth, the radio waves that carry the sound part of the program are launched into the air exactly as in ordinary shortwave radio transmitting. The ultrashort waves that carry the visual part are of such high frequencies that instead of kilocycles (thousand cycles) they are listed in megacycles (million cycles). Sound, even that of a symphony orchestra, usually is transmitted in a group of frequencies not more than 5,000 cycles wide. But a good television image requires frequencies jumping from 30 to 4,000,000 cycles within a second's time. In addition, two series of waves?synchronizing impulses? must be broadcast to keep receiver and transmitter in perfect step. A lag of less than one-millionth of a second in the receiving set would make imperfect television pictures. From the outset it is apparent thai television is at least three times as complicated as radio. An added difficulty is the fact that the very high frequency television wa\es do not bounce between the earth and a reflecting layer in the sk> as uo the fenger waves used lr. .->our.d bi.uccaslii.g Suci. repeater r- ll' etion permits .. ho jvaves to :~r r..or the hn-izon -in fact .. / .\,r r ,rf. t;f . earth t. <- - v ; . j -f - r - ?

The young lady clad in war paint is not preparing for a part in a horror thriller but is merely "making-up" for a regular television Broadcast. Special skill in the use of rouge and paint is required to give good picture reproduction in telecasts. outer space and are lost. They usually, cannot be captured by television sets much beyond the horizon. Draw a straight line, representing the path of television waves, from any point on the earth's surface, and you will recognize that they soon part company with the curving earth. To be sure of "viewing in" on a television program, therefore, a receiving set should be close enough to the transmitter to be within the television horizon. From the lofty antenna on the Empire State building, sets within a radius of 55 miles regularly receive the program, as well as some sets from 125 to 150 miles away. Resembles Ordinary Radio. Outwardly the television receiving set most generally in use resembles a large radio console with an extra row of buttons and a propped-up lid. The television image?a vision indeed?appears beneath the ?lid, where the televised scene in perfect miniature comes to life on a glass plate 8 by 10 inches. Presiding genius of the television receiving set is the 27-ingh funnelshaped vacuum tube, standing upright like a lily. As a loud speaker translates silent radio waves into sound, this tube translates invisible waves into a visible picture. Its narrow stem contains an electron gun primed with cathode-ray ammunition. Its broad top is capped with a glass plate curved to shield the vacuum within from the atmospheric pressure above. The under surface of the glass is coated with a chemical mixture, zinc sulfide, which is capable of fluorescing (emitting light) when struck by electrons. An electrical impulse from the transmitter modulates the beam, or ray, fired from the electron gun; when the electrons hit the fluorescent surface the glass shows a tiny point of light which is bright or dull according to the intensity of the modulted beam of electrons. Two Miles a Second. The electron stream is shot in machine-gun sequence across the face of the plate from left to right at a speed of two miles a second; then it zips back to the left at double quick time and repeats the bombardment. With about 500 "shots" in a row, it makes 441 trips from left to right to AM in the picture completely from top to bottom. This action is controlled by electro-magnetic force. (Whether each tiny "shot" of the electron bombardment AID IN CRIME WAR. Here is a test telecast being made to determine the value of television in criminal identification by reproducing fingerprints. Officials claim that in cases where speed is important, fingerprints could be broadcast to operatives away from police headquarters, eliminating the delay caused by mailing the prints to a central bureau. registers as light or shadow is determined by what the television camera has revealed of the object being televised.) The 441 scanning lines for each picture are completed too quickly for the human eye to detect the electron pencil in action, and the resultant illusion is com parable to the illusion obtained from the movies, which project 24 still pictures per rccond to create the impression of moveTnent The television image i? created by a rapid succession f 30 complete picture^ per second. 'Mather Student Was Winner of Third Prize MewH has Just beeu received from the South Capita* Tuberculosis Association that Verdelle Williams, Mather Academy student, won third prize, seven dollars, in the annual contest opeii to negro high school stadenta for essays on tuberculosis among negroes. Verdelle s oBsay has been sent on to l>octor C. St. C. Guild director of the Negro program for the National Tuberculosis Association to be entered in the nation-wide contest. Ellen Molester, who also attends the Mather Academy, received honorable mention for her essay in the contest, the prize beiug two dollars. The success of these students is Just another chapter in theNgood record made by the Mather Academy each year. Miss Lula B. Bryan, superintendent of the school, recognizes tuberculosis as a major health problem among Negroes. All students in the high school are required to take part in the contest, as a means of informing those soon to become leaders among their race what conditions are and things that can be done to relieve the situation. The need for Negroes to became leaders In combating the tuberculosis problem in Kershaw County Is shown by the fact that since October 1939 ton Kershaw County Negroes have died of tuberculosis. Those ten people were a source of infection to sixty-five porsons In their own homes not to mention the numbers of men, women and children with whom they came In contact in the neighborhoods and elsewhere. In the words of Doctor Kondall Emerson, Managing Director of the National Tuberculosis Association, "The tubercle bacillus is relentless, but without wit. The human race has wit, but is indolent. Add to our wit a touch of the relentlessness of our enemy, tuberculosis, and he has uo chance of survival." The Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association believes the enemy, tuberculosis, can be conquered, so day after day the tuberculosis nurse is Instructed to increase efforts to find tuberculosis dases and to teach people how to prevent the spread of the disease from person to person. At the present time, the Tuberculosis Association of Kershaw County has a record of fifty-four cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and eight cases that are probably Inactive. Two and one half years ago, or prior to the time the yqar round program paid for with Christmas Seal Sale funds began, the average number of cases known at any one time was twenty-five. According to the tuberculosis nurse, Miss Marie Thomas, the Association should know of at least one 'hundred cases and it is for this reason that the people of the county need to give more wholehearted support ' to the work that is being done.
