WFRO Will Broadcast On
Both FM and AM Bands
In the Future

Art Barrie, renowned radio per-
sonality, is now affiliated with
Fremont's radio station WFRO.
This announcement was made to-
day by Robert F. Wolfe, Presi-
dent of the Robert F. Wolfe
Company-owners of WFRO.
Mr.. Barrie who conducted popu-
lar interview radio programs from
Toledo for the past several years
has become known as North
western Ohio's Ambassador of
Good Will"
In his new capacity as vice
president of WFRO-FM-AM, Art
will have increased opportunity in
an executive position as well as
by direct contact, to further eX-
pand his activities. Combined
with this announcement it is dis
closed that WFRO will soon ex-
tend the scope of it's operations
by adding facilities of AM-am-
plitude moduIation. This means
that WFRO programs can be re-
ceived over all radios, both FIN
and AM, portable and auto.
Two towers and transmitter
for the new AM station will be
located about two miles east Of
Fremont on the Finefrock road
just off route 20. 1t is expected
these facilities will be in operation
within about five weeks, at which
time broadcasting hours of the
FM station will be established.
1t is believed that radio pre-
cedent will be established in that
the FM and AM stations are to
be linked via "air relay" rather
than the usual cables or electrical
circuits. All programs will origl-
nate in studios of the FM station
at 905 West State street. Spe-
cial equipment located at the AM
transmitter is designed to receive
the FIN signal. This signal will
then go out from the AM sta
tion simultaneously.
FEC has authorized WFRO-AM
watts on frequency of 900 kilo-
to operate with power of 500
cycles. Frequency of the sister
FM station is 99.3 megacycles.
Both are in the middle of respec-
tive dials on your radio.
Mr.. Wolfe stated these meas
ures are part of an over all plan
to provide a finer service for our
community.

that she was in labor.

Warns Against
"Old" Medicines

When ghosts of the family's
bygone aches and pains haunt the
medicine cabinet, Thelma Beall,
extension home management spe-
cialist at Ohio State University,
says "It's time for action"
Check of most home medicine
cabinets will reveal a stock of old
pills, prescriptions and remedies
that often the family has forgot
ten what they were supposed to
cure, she explains.
Medicine should never be saved
for future use except on specific
advise from physician, she adds,
and then should be clearly labeled
as to what it is, how much to
take and when.
Getting these old medicines out
of the house, Miss Beall says is
only one of many things that the
homemaker can do to make the
home safer and more pleasant
place in which to live and work
Sometimes it is thriftier to
throw away than to save" she ad-
vises, suggesting that it would be
good idea to discard any chip
ped or cracked glassware, enamel
ware and china.
When damaged dishes and uten-
sils are used they are likely to
leave chips in the food and it is
almost impossible to get them
thoroughly clean and sanitary.
She also would eliminate tipsy
pots and pans that will not stand
steady on the stove. These are
likely to cause serious burns or
even fires.
