Color Television
Now Ready For
Transmission
Color Television can now be
transmitted to 65 cities across
the nation by the Long Lines of
the American Telephone and Tel
egraph Company. This includes
stations WAGA and WSB in At
lanta. At present, 145 TV sta
tions in these cities are receiv
ing network television service
and about 95 of them are getting
color in addition to black-and
white.
Mr. R. W. Perry, Suburban
Manager of the Soutjhern Bell
Telephone Company who made
the announcement here, said it
is estimated that most of the
principal network television rou
tes will be equipped for color by
November and about 95 of them
will be' able to receive network
programs in color by the end of
the year.
“Os the 187 stations presently
located in these cities and re
ceiving network service, a total
of about 125 are expected to be
ready to broadcast in color by
late December,” he said.
The announcement pointed out
that about 31,000 of the 59,000
channel miles of TV facilities now
in service had been re-engineer
ed and re-equipped to carry col
or programs as well as black
and white programs.
Bell System facilities had been
used for experimental color
transmission for the past several
years. But it was not until the
approval of the compatible sys
tem by the Federal Communi
cations Commission on December
17, 1953, that color television got
under way on a regular basis.
Use of the compatible system
makes it possible for owners of
conventional black and white
television sets to receive color
broadcasts in black and white.
Owners of color sets can receive
both black and white, and color
programs as broadcast.
Mr. Perry said the transform
ation of the thousads of miles of
existing TV channels for satis
factory color transmission, was
a project of considerable magni
tude. New equipment for trans
mission, testing, and monitoring
must be provided, he pointed out.
To set up the original channels
and maintain them, additional
specially trained employees are
needed.
Authorization of the compati
ble color system brought requests
of Broadcasts for color net
work facilities. To meet the re
quests, Long Lines rushed color
conversion of channel on the
transcontinental radio relay rou
te.
On January 1,. 1954, the first
public colorcast was carried from
coast-to-coast when the Tourna
ment of Roses Parade in Pasa
dena, Calif., was fed to stations
in 18 cities in the United States.
By May 1, the first coaxial ca
ble route between Dallas and
Houston, Tex., had been readied
to carry color.
Long Lines also noter that
1954 marks the 25th anniversary
of the first public demonstration
of color TV. On June 27, 1929, a
group of newspaper reporters
gathered in the Bell Telephone
Laboratories in New York to see
a color cast of an American flag
rippling in the breeze.
The ten cities in the South
that can now receive network
color television include: Atlanta,
Ga., Birmingham, Ala., Char
lotte and Winston-Sa|em, N. C.,
Jackson, Miss., Louisville, Ky.,
Nasville, and Memphis, Tenn.,
and New Orleans and Monroe,
La.

Water, Sewage
School Set For
Sept. 22-24
Approximately 300 persons from
all parts of Georgia are expect
ed to attend the 23rd Annual
Water and Sewage School in At
lanta September 22 - 24, accord
ing to W. H. Weir, director of
the State . Health Department’s
Division of Water Pollution Con
trol.
Sponsored by the State Health
Department, the Georgia Water
and Sewage Association, and the
Engineering Extension Division
of Georgia Tech, the three-day
school wil be highlighted by a
motorcade tour from Atlanta, via
the Buford Dam site, to Gaines
ville for the official opening of
Gainesville’s new purification
plant and river intake. The city
of Gainesville will serve a chick
en dinner to the visitors. Many
of the principal persons concern
ed with the Buford Dam project
will be present.
Os the sixteen major subjects
that are to be covered at the
school Mr. Weir points to two
which he thinks will be of out
standing interest:
(1) Water Resources of Geor
gia, led by E. L. Hendricks, staff
engineer, U. S- Geological sur
vey. This hour-long discussion
will take in such things as the
occurance and availability of wat
er from wells and surface stream
ter from wells and surface
streams. “This is a very timely
topic in view of the extremely
dry weather in Georgia,” Mr.
Weir says.
(2) The Elementary Chemistry
of water and sewage treatment,
led by Dr. Harold B. Friedman,
head of research and development
at the Zep Mfg. Co., Atlanta. Such
things as getting the proper a
mounts of chlorine in water sup
plies and Jhe handling of indus
trial wastes will be covered by
Dr. Friedman.
Folks in this country have been
eating more vegetables yearly
each year for past 20 years. In
1953, each American ate about
120 pounids of fresh vegetables
and about 90 pounds of processed
vegetables.
