Frankfort Watchline **•*7 A»*ier Cox said a r r angemen t s

: have been made with the telephone company so tha t lines can be added as needed practically at the (lip of a switch at t h e phone company offices.

Space has been set aside for the noisy, semi-automatic elec-tric t ypewr i t e r s to knock out personalized le t ters to the voting populace.

, And this is all jus t for the pr imary. If Carroll succeeds In tha t race, the whole operation will move to Democratic headqua r t e r s to save money.

Saving money seems to be the second grea tes t consider-ation of Cox's hrmy. The first consideration is to keep the campaign squeaky clean of any conflict of in teres t - especially between Carroll 's chores a s governor and his candidacy.

Noting tha t if you can find someone in F r a n k f o r t who owns two houses, "{he s ta te is in one of them," Cox said they went out of their way to lease from someone who doesn't have any s ta te contracts .

Space hjs been set aside at headquar t e r s for p ress con-ferences when the subject ma t t e r is political r a the r than governmental in nature.

And his governor 's staff is dropping information tha t tele-phone calls even for such i tems as Carroll photos for campaign workers in the out lying counties are being r e fe r red to campaign headquar t e r s with the admon-ition that "it wouldn't be a proper use of tax money, now, would it?"

By any measure , Carroll is not taking the upcoming race for governor lightly.

A f t e r all, he faces several months before t h e primary and several months again before the general election as governor of the s ta le , a r a the r unique position, but one tha t , over the years, has proved to be a

"position for mak ing a s many enemies as fr iends.

By the time May and November roll around. Carroll is going to have something of a record to defend.

"I 'm going to see how I like it down he re and then I'll decide if I want to s tay ano the r four years ."

Tha t seems to be Governor Julian Carroll 's s t andard joke these days. And with Carroll cracking policy jokes like tha t , his staff uncomfortably follows suit .

A visit with Bill Cox a t t h e Citizens for Carroll for Governor Commit tee headquar t e r s two miles south of town adequate ly demonst ra tes .

"I have gone to work with them to lay some ground work in the event he becomes a candidate for governor ." said Cox. Carroll 's top aide and now chief political operat ive.

"In, in fact, he enters the race «*d somebody e n t e r s it with him. we a re going to be prepared to put on an aggress ive campaign." he con-

For a guy who is not yet ' officially in the race . Carroll

probably his' the best frame-work set up in yea rs for a ma jo r campaign if needed.

Cox said tha t Carroll is so used to rough and tumble Democratic pr imaries as the rule, tha t they cannot abide laxity in the prepara t ion even at this s tage with so many Democra t s and even Republi cans believing him to be a shoe-in for t h e nomination.

Right now. the only announced candidate for the nomination is Mary I-ouise Foust . the controversial s t a t e auditor . While Miss Fous t has a certain amount of popular appeal, the Carroll forces do not consider her to be serious opposition.

But t h e campaign forces a r e ready, never the less .

The commit tee , set up last August by t h r e e Paducah bankers, -has accu tna te te^ *<i» excess of $25,000, al though o the r r e p o r t s have placed the amount in six f igures. Cox said the l a t t e r is way out of line but says more t h a n $25,000 would be reasonable since they have already spent t h a t much.

They have leased 7500 square feet of floor space and converted it in to offices and working space for secretar ial and volunteer personnel .

Have you_ever s t opped to think about w h a t a wonde r^ - !* vision is?_.. Most of us t a k e TV for g ran ted , and it is easy to f o rge t t h a t this electrical wonder Is a relatively new device. My fchOdren don' t seem to unders tand t h a t when I was the i r age t h e r e was no Such thing a s television, a t leas t no TV a s we u n d e r s t a n d it today.

My first look a t th is th ing called television was a t the home of the late Bill Cox. As far as I know, h e had the f i rs t television in M t Vernon, or a t least he was one of the first owners he re . The only programs I can r emember watching ̂ back then were the Hit Parade and Wrest l ing. I can also r emember the reception. The quality of reception w e watched then , today would bring cr ies from my children tha t they could not see t h e picture, and tha t I should ge l the set fixed. The memory of eyes t r a in and Mr. Bill pleading for everyone to be quiet Is still vivid In my mind.

I probably belong to the last generat ion t h a t was brought up on radio and not television. In the la te 40's and early SO's. much of the talk r ega rd ing the new th ing commonly called TV was tha t it would ruin people's eyes, affect the i r heal th by radiat ion, corrupt young minds by what was shown and se t your house on fire if left plugged in. The skepticism regard ing a s t r o n a u t s walking on t h e moon can be equated to t h e re luctance of accept ing TV dur ing i ts

Af te r the initial impact of television, the Amer ican people began to demand and receive more from this media than i ts use a s a curiosity. For examoJe, television a s a news media is vital to us a s we have developed a r i tual of depending on watch ing not j u s t listening to what has happened in t h e world. Dur ing the Vietnam War we became accustomed to even watching battlefield developments th rough t h e wonder of TV by satell i te.

Television's most common usage to the American public would probably be in en te r t a inment . Millions of people sit down night a f te r night and jus t forget themselves in a trance in front ol the tube. There is a continuous bat t le with educa tors regard ing the quality of what is p resen ted to the public via television. T h e gap has been partially br idged by the adven t of public television, and I might add tha t w e a r e very fo r tuna te to have the educational television facilities tha t a r e pow available to us.

An art icle on the wonder s of television could go on and on. b u t I do not intend to exhaus t t h e subjec t , only to w m m e n t on it.
