ASTROLOGY TODAY
For the Week of January 8 - 14:
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) - Be very cautious about going to
excess this week; you could miss a day or two of work for no
good reason except faulty diet and too much drink. Your
romantic life may be turning quite stagnant foryouandyou want
to be off to greener pastures.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 20) - You can be unjust to a younger
person who admires you and has had much affection for you.
You could lose the esteem of this person for good and regret it
much. Better keep an open mind and forsake the idea of teasing
anyone about personal ways.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21) - Elderly people may be near you
but they are not the healthiest companions for you these days.
They might build up your sense of timidity and even encourage
you to use imagination so that it alarms you. Try to find people
nearer your age.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22) - Do not let a person who is fast
sliding downhill take you along. Refuse all invitations that could
interfere with your work in any way. If you entertain make it
brief and on the somber side. Frivolity is not for you this week.
LEO (July 23 - August 23) - You may feel in no condition to do
your work but you will drive yourself to do it anyhow. Your
spirit will be admired but you may be sent home early for you are
really in need of rest and freedom from some daily chores during
this cycle.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 22) - You will be able to
accomplish a long-cherished wish about romance at this time.
Someone who enters you life may be the type of person you have
dreamed of meeting and you will go together perfectly in every
way.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) - You may not be able to
win your way with a person who has a core of resistance to your
particular charm. This can be just as well for someone else may be
coming just around the comer.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 22) - Your bank balance can
be low, and you may be mixed in with a crowd you do not want
to have anything to do with. It is time to clear your life of all
such troubles, start saving and make sure the family saves.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) - You may
conceive quite a lot of admiration for the lifemate of a friend.
Don’t worry; this is the platonic type of love and friendship. You
may go shopping for bargains that will be good for you all
through the spring season. Your eye for a buy is good.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) - Someone very sincere
may enter your life and help you out of a spot, a stagnant place
in your life where you have become worried that you might have
to stay. You will be released to freedom and also helped with a
start in a business of your own. It can be difficult, but such a joy!
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) - Find lots to interest
you in your work, social life and community contributions. Grant
favors that are asked and be generous with your spare time.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) - Your nature can come out in
full with a business relationship. You may show yourself as
arrogant, obstinate and without sympathy for anyone except
yourself. It’s not advisable to give yourself away like that to any
acquaintance. ______. _____________

EQUIPMENT CHECK - Robert D. Hudson, president
(standing) and James E. Lawson, executive vice
president of Hudson Broadcasting Inc., of Nashville,
Tenn, complete check of equipment in preparation for
putting the nation’s first Black owned and operated
television station in the nation on the air.
Nashville,Tenn--Hudson
Broadcastingjnc., has filed an
application with the Federal
Communications Commission
to put the first Black-owned
and operated television station
in the nation on the air.
The application asks the
FCC to transfer the broadcast
license from WMCV-Television
of Nashville to Hudson-
Broadcasting, Inc.
Earlier this year, the
recently formed Nashville
broadcasting company acquired
the assets of WMCV-Television,
Channell? here, a UHF station
that has been off the air for
several years.
“While there are now several
Blak-owned stations in various
stages of planning we fully
expect Channel 17 to be the
first on the iar,” said Robert D.
Hudson, Jr., President of he
firm. “We are ready to have
Channel 17 on the air within
90 days or less after the FCC
authorization.
Hudson and James E.
Lawson of Nashville, Executive
Vice President and Manager of
WMCV-TV, are now in the
process of deciding on
equipment additions and
staffing in preparation to go on
the air.
A Nashville native, Hudson
launched his broadcasting
career while still in high school
at WSOK in Nashville. He
joined Rousaville Radio, Inc.,
in 1956 and soon assumed
production and announcer
duties at WOBS in Jacksonville,
Fla.
He advanced at Rounsaville,
accepting management
responsibilities at WYLD in
New Orleans, WCIN in
Cincinnati and WBJW in
Orlando, Fla., before being
named Vice President and
General Manager of WVOL in
1972, the former WSOK, the
station where he started his
career 16 years before.
Lawson, a graduate of Fisk
University, is a former director
of the Progress Association for
Economic Development in
Nashville, an agency affiliated
with the Office of Minority
Business Enterprise.
In addition, he has owned a
business consulting firm,
specializing in finance.
“Under Jim Lawson’s
direction, Channel 17 will be
ready to go on the air at the
earliest date authorized by the
FCC,” Hudson said, “and we
will serve the total community,
but in a unique way we will
present Blade programming
and culture as only Black
people can do, for the entire
community to share and
appreciate.”
The general offices,
studios and transmitter of the
TV facility are located at 410
38th Avenue, North in
Nashville.
