ours was for a well- rounded highway safety program

One of the nation's highest honors in the field of public service - the Alfred P. Sloan Award - was recently received by WTMJ for our comprehensive campaign on highway safety during 1986. WTMJ was cited for enthusiastic editorial commentary on traffic safety issues. Informative "Safetycopter Reports" from Milwau- kee's only news helicopter. And effective follow -through with distribution of highway safety material to new car owners. Also featured in the campaign was WTMJ's 10 -point traffic safety code, established the previous year to promote public support for Wisconsin's highway safety legislation. Due to the campaign's initial success, the governor requested that it be expanded during the summer to keep the accident rate low throughout the entire year.

It's a fact that while the price of just about everything else you can think of keeps rising, the unit price the average American family pays for electric service keeps going down. Today families use more electric service than ever before, but pay less per kilowatt -hour. That's because electric company people make electricity in larger quantities while business management finds ways to hold the price down. The more electric service you use, the bigger a bargain it gets to be, and the better a bargain it will be in the future.

The electric company people... the folks at your Investor -Owned Electric Light and Power Companies'

36 (THE MEDIA) BROADCASTING, July 3, 1967 What's the value of a Byline?

Years of a man's professional life can pass before he rates a byline. Some never make it. Those that do can usually be depended on to deliver their story with the integrity and skill befitting their byline. We make medicines for doctors to prescribe. And, we make them with integrity and skill. Whether life - saving or not, we feel they demand that we put ourselves on the line -and we do. 4111P

Wasilewski offering "best wishes," pledging that NAB would "cooperate with ACTS in every possible way" and also expressing hope that ACTS "will be an efficient, comple- mentary organization to NAB" and "affirmatively support" NAB.

Here's why: We designed 78V for the new generation of high -band recorders.

It reproduces colors no other tape can match.

It offers quality video without sacrificing quality sound. (Its signal -to -noise ratio is consistently high. And it has better frequency response, more stable reference signals, and more uniform audio signals than any other video tape.)

It's consistently low in abrasion from reel to reel.

And it's durable. 78V will perform with a minimum of dropouts long after other tapes have failed.

Of course, the best test of a great tape is how well it performs on your recorder.

We'd like you to make that test.

Contact us, and we'll dispatch our man with a reel. We'll also send you more information - including specs -on 78V if you'll write us at

Hopefully the House will look beneath the superficial promises of cultural uplift that so enraptured the Senate. We share with advocates of subsidized broadcasting the yearning for an enrichment of television service, but we remain unconvinced that the apparatus to achieve that goal is a Corp. for Public Broadcasting. A federally chartered, federally financed bureaucracy would be so buffeted by political pressures that it would, at best, take refuge in bland neutrality or, at worst, be corrupted into an instrument of propaganda. As evidence that such fears are not imaginary. we cite statements by the bill's advocates themselves. During the debate that preceded overwhelming passage of the bill for public broadcasting by the Senate, the bill's own sponsor admitted that he saw political opportunity in the development of a national system of noncommercial TV. The debate on the CPB bill had been side-tracked by several senators decrying the high costs of commercial television in political campaigning when Senator Warren G.
