By Richard Kasischkeo)

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, (P)- A Czech communist party mani festo called Saturday for liquida- ton of "our greatest enemy, the church."
 The manifesto came on the heels of a statement by Justice Minister Alexei Cepicka that any one who moves to put into effect the excommunication of commun- ists decreed by the Vatican will be arrested and treid for treason.

and then transmitters will have to
be built. Thus it may be as long
as four years before you may have
to convert = IF the new higher
wave bands are assigned to some
future station in your territory.
4. These new wave bands may
never be assigned to future tele-
vision stations broadcasting in
hundreds of American communities
currently in television areas. In
other words a very large percent
age of today's television buyers
may NEVER have to convert their
sets.
5. 1t is questionable that manu-
facturers can save the consumer
money by currently installing pro-
visions for future conversions that
will make final future conversion
cost less. Such preliminary" pro,
visions today must necessarily
raise the prices of sets today. II
is quite possible the additional
money paid for sets having such
units today, when added to cost Of
specific additional alterations anC
aerials in the future, will cost The
consumer more in the long run.
6. Summarizing:
/. The television set you buy to
day will in all likelihood, without
any additional cost to you, continue
to receive television broadcast.

LATE BLIGHT WARNING
Outbreak of Tomato Blight on
Farm Near Lebanon


Late blight of tomatoes has
broken out in tomato field near
Lebanon, Delaware. The outbreak
was discovered on Thursday, June
2 on the farm of John Farrow.
The fungus attacks the stems of
the plants and forms a dark brown
or black area which gradually
spreads and penetrates the stem,
thus, causing the plant to die.
Usually late blight of tomatoes
attacks the leaves first producing
an irregular dark area where a
white fuzzy growth develops on the
underside of the leaf during cool,
damp days and nights. Most grow
ers know this disease spreads very
rapidly and that cool damp wealth
er is ideal for its development and
spread. Hot, dry weather has a
checking tendency but will not stop
the disease entirely.

YOUR TELEVISION SET
WILL NOT BE OBSOLETE

l. II is true the federal govern
ment. thru the Federal Communi-
cations Commission, has required
private industry to experiment
With television transmission in
higher wave bands so more televi-
sion stations can go on the air.
2. As many as so new channels
NAV eventually be approved, and
television sets being sold today will
not receive television on these
channels unless some inside conver-
sions and an additional antenna are
installed. Estimates of the cost of
converting current receivers vary
from $40 to $40 per set. 1t must
be understood the purpose of these
new channels is NOT to replace
present station channels. In other
words, except in very rare cases
YOU will be able to continue to re-
eeive on your set all local stations
presently on the air without any
future added costs.

mind that private industry has moi
