Sou. Bell Has Mammoth Job
In Conventions Coverage
The world’s greatest political
event will occur this year— the
election of an American Pres
ident. And, once again, the na
tionwide Bell Telephone System
is gearing up to provide a view
of what’s happening.
From the snows of New Hamp
shire to the sands of Miami
Beach, from the windy corners
of Chicago to the hills and vall
eys of California, candidates will
go all out to win votes. And their
activities will be sent across the
nation via the greatest comm
unications hookup ever assem
bled to cover a Presidential cam
paign, according to Ray V. Reece,
local Southern Bell Manager.
The Bell System will have to
provide sufficient facilitates sq
that news can be sent immediate
ly to the 788 TV stations, 6,300
radio stations and 11,000 press

This is a job requiring an
immense amount of equipment
and a genius at logistics. Poli
ticians on the move often don’t
know themselves when they’re
going to stop and make a speech.
The telephone companies are at
the mercy of the campaign and
have to be prepared for almost
anything.
The first test of the commun
ications network is now under
way in the primary campaigns.
Voters in New Hampshire began
it at the polls on March 12. Many

who were unanimously approved
by the membership. These were:
Gerald Wendel, president; Mrs.

In Its four year history, the
Newton County Parent-Youth
Council, sponsored In 1964 by
The Covington News as a comm
unity service, has gained wide
spread recognition for its ach
ievements in establishing com
munication between parents,
youth, schools and community.
Publication of a booklet, “New
ton County Parent-Youth Guide”,
which was drawn up through the
participation of both parents and
young people; annual “After
Graduation Breakfasts”; social
events and Official Chaperones
to serve upon request at differ
ent functions, are but a few of
the benefits effected by the Par
ent-Youth Council.
With the promotion of activi
ties geared to stimulate higher
ideals and moral values, the
P-Y Council and its dedicated
leaders through the years are
to be commended for its con
tributions toward a better en
vironment for youth and par
ents alike.
Telephone to prepare for the GOP
convention in Miami Beach was a
staggering one, said Mr. Reece.
It’s the first nominating conven
tion ever held there and the tele
phone company was asked to put
in enough communications facil
ities in ten months that normally
would involve a two-year pro
gram.
Meeting the requirements for
additional TV broadcasts from
locations in Miami Beach will
necessitate putting in more
northbound TV channels to carry
out news of the convention.
All television broadcasts from
Convention Hall and the candi
dates’ headquarters will have to
be sent to the mainland before
joining the regular Long Lines
network. A 70-foot microwave
tower will be relocated next to
Convention Hall and a specially
made video cable has been made
to run beneath Biscayne Bay from

MONTA W. CRAWFORD is one of the oldest employees of The Covington News, in point g;
of service. He began working with the paper in May, 1942 and last year was honored at a g:
party to celebrate his 25th anniversary.
Monta first worked in the mailing room and later learned to operate bindery and printing ;:g
machinery, spending some time on the Ludlow type machine. During the past five years he >;s
has switched to the Heidelberg and Kluge letterpress machines that are both important parts
of The Covington News job printing department.
A native of Covington, he has stayed home and watched both his paper and his hometown jg
grow and develop. When he first came to the paper, the entire operation was located on the
first floor of the present building. When the heavy duty job printing machinery was moved g:
upstairs to occupy the second floor, Monta went too.
He is married to the former Betty Anne Everett of Jersey and has three children. James g:
Foster Crawford, 14, is an eighth grader; Monta Anne, 10, is in the third grade and Gregory g;
Wilton 5 is preparing for kindergarten. Monta was a Little League fan for many years <<<
while ’he’followed Jimmy’s career in left field. Now that Jimmy has graduated to Senior gi;
Little League, Monta is awaiting the season so that he can continue to follow his son around .v>
the circuit.

He indicated that some 20,000
women are now participating in
some form of family planning
activities through local health
departments. Ten times that
number of medically indigent wo

said.
The .State Health Department—
whose basic family planning pro
gram has been in operation since
1939 — is now working in cooper
ation with Family and Children
Services in motivating families
to seek counseling in limiting
or spacing children.
Dr. Schoenbucher said that
current department efforts are
being directed toward prescrib
ing intrauterine devices (the
“loop”) or birth control pills
to women to control the size
of their families.
The loop — inserted by a
physician, and removed at any
time pregnancy is desired —

Fuel Taxes
New York—Federal and state
motor fuel taxes are costing
U. S. motorists $22.9 million
a day in 1968.
Oil Facts points out that this
is an increase of 83 per cent
over the daily collections in
1958. The combined state and
federal gasoline tax rates now
average 10.72 cents a gallon—
the equivalent of a 47 per cent
sales tax on the retail price of
regular-grade gasoline.
