In 1858, the active ingre
dient of coca leaves, cocaine,
was isolated. It was used at
first as a local anesthetic and
then as a cure for morphin
ism. In the Freud used
cocaine to treat depression,
and enthusiastically advo
cated it at that time. Only
gradually did the dangers of
cocaine addiction become ap

WITF Stations to
Operations after
Robert F. Larson, Executive
Vice President and General
Manager of WITF-TV-FM,
Hershey, has announced that the
community supported radio and
television stations have
established June 30 as the date on
which operations must be cut
back due to continuing fiscal
difficulties aggravated this year
by significant cutbacks in federal
funds.
The projected cutback involves
the dismissal of 20 staff mem
bers, both full- and part-time, and
the sale of the station’s mobile
unit which comprises the basis of
its production capability.
A total of $185,000 in
unrestricted contributions is
needed to reverse the decision to
reduce operations on the June 30
deadline established by the
Board. An additional $93,000 is
needed for Fiscal Year 1973-74.
Larson indicated that there is
no question that WITF-TV-FM
will survive, but it will survive in
a form which removes local
identity. He indicated that this
move would mark the end of an
era or program production by a
local station that has resulted in
27 major national awards “What
is being lost,” he indicated, “is
programming especially pat
terned for South Central Penn
sylvania.”
Since the summer of 1971, the
Board and management have
been struggling to prevent WITF
from becoming simply a tran
smitter ol programs Andrew M.

Cutback
June 30
Bradley, the President of WITF’s
Board of Directors, pointed out
that “the station has worked
administrative and fiscal
miracles within the last 18
months Indeed, an indebtedness
of $920,000 has been reduced to a
figure of $380,000. Increased
internal efficiency and regular
meetings with a finance com
mittee consisting of area bankers
have enabled the Board to have
complete confidence in the
stewardship of every dollar
which comes the stations’ way.”
However, of the quarter million
known viewers and listeners of
the stations, only 6,000 have
become supporting members;
business and industry has
responded minimally, and the
argument that an active public
broadcasting unit can contribute
to the quality of life of a com
munity has not unlocked major
industry support. In addition, the
national controversy surrounding
public broadcasting has resulted
in the loss of program contracts
and grants, a source of revenue
which in the past has made WITF
one of the strongest stations in
the nation and has enabled it to
speak meaningfully to the
citizens it serves. The failure of
efforts to convince potentially
large donors that a local
production capability is desirable
has necessitated the immediate
cutback “Although the ‘faucet’
concept of public broadcasting is
the antithesis of what a com
munity station ought to be,”

Larson said, “this community
will probably lose such an in
stitution because it refuses to
support this kind of public
broadcasting.”
A hen lays about 240 to 250 eggs
per year. Production life of a hen
is 12 to 15 months.
Eggs can move throughout
the United States in 48 hours on
loads holding up to 600 cases.

For Cotton
Manufacturers of men's
and boys’ trousers were the
biggest customers for cotton
in 1971.
This information came to
light in a report recently is
sued by the National Cotton
Council, showing major end
uses for the natural fiber.
The report shows that 797,-
000 bales of cotton were used
in trouser production.
Sheets and pillowcasfes
were second, consuming 603,-
000 bales.
Rounding out the top ten
end-uses for cotton were:
towels and toweling, drap
eries and upholstery, men’s
and boys’ shirts, men’s and
boys’ underwear, retail piece
goods, bedspreads, women’s
slacks and jeans, and auto
mobile uses.
