Interest of Campaign
Harry McKee of Austin was in
Elgin Tuesday in the interest of
his campaign for the nomination
for State Senator. With him were
two co-workers, Ralph Wilson and
Wayne Ingram of Austin. Both
were former Bastrop county men.

the office he seeks, having served
three terms in the past. He owns
and operates a farm west of Aus-
tin, and knows how to do his
chores about the farm in the
mornings. He stated doing those
chores gives one an appetite to
eat his home grown products and
fresh meat butchered at home for
breakfast.
Harry McKee has started a
series of advertisements in the
Courier and each week he will
give you some facts about himself
and what he stands for when
elected.

Microwave Radio
Relay System To
Be Completed Soon
Local TV enthusiasts are nap-
™ over the latest report from
Southwestern Bell Telephone com-
pany about their progress on the
Dallas-Austin microwave relay
system which is nearing comple-
tion. When this hook-up is com-
pleted it will be possible to get
good TV reception here.
The report follows:
The Dallas-Austin microwave
radio relay system under construc-
tion on an advanced schedule by
the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company, to link up with the ex-
isting Austin-San Antonio chain
of radio towers and bring network
television programs to San An-
tonio TV station in July, is near-
ing completion.
1. W. Davis, Austin district man-
ager for the company, announced
today that the major portion of
the work on the seven temporary
towers between this city and Dal-
las has been completed.
“Towers are in place at Midlo-
thian and Hillsboro, and are near-
ing completion at Waco, Moody,
Florence, and Pflugerville. Tele-
phone control circuits and power
lines have been built in to each
tower site. In the mext few days,
transmitting and receiving anten-
nas will be placed atop each of the
towers,” Davis said.
The towers of the telephone
company’s microwave system are
spaced about 30 miles apart be-
tween Austin and Dallas, with the
transmitting antenna at each tow-
er aligned with the receiving an-
tenna of the next one in the chain.
Coming into Austn for relay to
San Antonio, the last jump in the
northern leg of the route will
carry the microwave beam from
the tower at Pflugerville to the
antenna atop Austin’s radio relay
Mrs. Lillian Conner and Jan
Elliott came over from Austin

Williams, who was elected a
Senator at the Boys State meet-
ing, was the spokesman for the
three boys. He told of the regis-
tration, how the boys were divid-
ed into political parties — the
Longhorns and the Pioneers. Tell-
ing of the mock fight that was
staged so they would have a case
to try, he said it was so real that
many did not know it was a put on
■affair until afterwards.
Winding his report up with
the happenings of the first few
days, he will be a guest again next
meeting day and (give the balance
of his report.
Capt. P. F. Peterson and Ggt.
F. C. Barnes, of the Marine Corps
Reserves of Austin presented the
balance of the program.
Capt. Peterson told of the work
of his department in recruiting
reserves for units of home train-
ing. This training he likened to
the fire department—they meet
the emergencies as they arrive,
and are trained so if called to
active duty they can step right in
and take major roles.
Sgt. Barnes then showed a pic-
ture which depicted vividly how
the Communists work in our
midst. The picture was education-
al and one that all should see.

“Contracts have been signed

on the job of providing TV chan-

“The only way this job could
be done in time for the networks
to televise the convention pro-
ceedings .from Chicago as they
happen was to provide a complete
