The film included, pictures of the 1954 and 1955 membership dinners and gave us a fine opportunity to compare our 1956 waistlines with those of 1954. We concluded that many of us showed evidence of having dined too well, too long and too often. We had better draft into our ranks either a hypnotist or a dietician. None of us, however, was concerned enough to pass up the delicious dessert prepared by Marie Diedrich and the "calories unlimited" committee. Mrs. Mikota announced there would be an executive board committee meeting on Tuesday evening, May 8, at the Legion home.'

Green St., McHenry, HL w McHENRY TOPICS Glenn Paulsen A customer told us at McHENRY TV. that she tunedin a station more then a thousand miles away. "How come, I thought about 70 miles was the limit?" she asked. It is true that TV has a very limited range. The sending tower sprays a signal in all directions to the horizon to a distance of about 70 miles and depending upon heights of antennas. However, some of these signals go upward also and disappear into outer space. It is when these signals bounce back to earth that you receive these long distance picby Allan McKlro tures. They are called 'freak or ghost' signals' and bounce back to earth because of - weather conditions or the effects of sunspots on the earth's atmosphere. Sometimes a signal will bounce several times between earth and outer elements and reach great distances. This happens unfrequently and cannot be controlled. It can spoil good reception for many hours. There is no damage caused by it. To be sure of getting to the bottom of any TV problem, phone 2233. We give continuous service and guarantee it.
