 RADIO INTERFERENCE

If you hate that pesky interfer- ence on your radio, and who doesn't with world news as hot as it is these days, you'll drive your car out to the City Light Plant right away and get it equipped with a filter to cut out the interference your vehicle makes.
 City Council, mindful that enforc- ing the non-interferenee ordinance was an almost impossible task unless equipment was made available to el- intimate the interference, has put in a supply of filters and they are now available at cost. All you have to do is drive out to the light plant and city electricians will install the lit- tie devise for you and it will be charged on your light bill
 If you have some other interfer- ence making machine, give the city electricians a call and they'll fix it up for you. Inspections are free and the equipment is sold at cost.
 Mayor Van H. Fisk pointed out, the winter radio season is here and everybody likes to listen. Coopera- tion of everyone in trying to elimin- ate interference will make it more pleasant for everyone.
