The Call For Help Goes Out -

(From Page 1) Reaganomics; they have seen the President on tv and understand what he is trying to do. They are also farmers, developers, businessmen, homeowners — many of whom have seen from their windows the forces Of nature in a rambunctious mood. The dichotomy of perspectives is present in these people. AND FOR SOME few of them - who have lived closest to the shore and seen the

vicious side of tranquil sea. or whose memory can picture up the aftermath of but a near-hurricane’s wrath — for them is the fearful reality that time and tide wait for no man. The call for Sunday’s meeting is aimed at and goes out from the few anxious diehards, and the increasing number of nouveau-concerned who are building up and looking out from behind the meadow.

Spreading the Word

(From Pagel) family programming, emphasis would be placed on bi-lingual offerings. UNTIL RECENTLY, LPTV wasn't seen as financially promising. Originally, the FCC prohibited original programming being broadcast from translator — antenna towers and broadcasting equipment. Then in 1980, the ban was lifted as government regulation of the airwaves began to lessen. The effect was to make any translator a potential local tv station. If the FCC grants the Erausquin-Ortiz license, Cape May area residents will be able to receive programming from the low power tv station on a subscription basis, like cable tv. The cost of such service has yet to be determined. Although nothing new, LPTV translators are now becoming the in thing for localoriented programming. Translators, which operate on from one to 1,000 watts, are scattered throughout the United States to boost signals of full-se r vice tv stations to remote areas. CONSTRUCTION OF such stations - which have a signal range of between one and 40 miles — cost between $10,000 and $50,000. According to the Erausquin-Ortiz application, the stetion here would cost approximately $27,900 to construct and would be capable to beaming a signal almost to Avalon. While the specific application calls for a 100 ft. tower and the statiori to be located on the Erausquins' North Cape May property, in a residential neighborhood about two blocks from Delaware Bay, according to FCC regulations, construction may take place anywhere within a reasonable distance of the proposed site.

Mrs. Erausquin said it's unusual for an LPTV licenseholder to actually house the station in his home. Usually an appropriate-size property within the station’s service area is leased, she said. WHILE LPTV channels have their advantages, they also have some drawbacks. Under FCC regulations, low power setups aren't permitted to interfere with signals of full-service tv stations, and, furthermore, aren’t protected from interference from those stations. On the other hand, while the low power tv station wouldn't be required to support the expensive engineering staff mandated by the FCC for full-service stations, they also wouldn’t be included in FCC "must carry" requirements for cable operators. Currently, cable system are required to set aside one channel for any full-service station whose signal can be received within the cable operation’s area. *

-Waterway NoticeN. CAPE MAY — Mariners are advised to exercise caution and reduce speed in the vicinity of dredging operations which were scheduled to begin this week in the Cape May Canal.

A Call to ‘Freeze’ Nuclear Weaponry (From Pagel)

Wildwood. He indicated a feeling of "encouragement" that the opposition movement to the nuclear crisis is growing stronger daily, although noting there are still some churches that don't share in the urgency of the issue. Msgr Martin Killeen of St. Joseph’s Church in Sea Isle City agreed. "We're ’ talking about total destruction," he said. "It’s not a matter of do we have the power. It's do we have the conviction.” MR. CI1RISMER APPLAUDED the efforts and the unity among clergy. "I've never seen anything like this before, said the septuagenarian adding, "the movement will reshape our souls." Pastor Henry Ireland of Messiah Lutheran Church in Sea Isle City expressed the opinion that clergy are in a "unique" position when it comes to dealing with issues such as nuclear arms that are defined by most as political.

"Our concern is to focus concern upon the issues," he said, noHng that so many people make decisions politically. "So little attention is given to issues. That’s what we (ministerium) can do." IN ADDITION TO the service set for Sunday, Rev. Carpenter indicated there is an organized continuing effort by many churches toward a broad-based program to educate people how to deal with the nuclear problem. Many churches will be recognizing a Peace Sunday on May 30. Ms. Ciccarone — who was praised by the clergy for her involvement in the coalition and her' efforts in beginning a movement for peace — and the interfaith service this Sunday will include participation by eight different congregations. What is wanted is a freeze on the production of nuclear arms. Attention can then be turned to eliminating nuclear arms altogether, she said.
