Today is the anniversary of the first color television broadcast. In 1951, CBS transmitted the appropriately named program “Premiere” from New York City, and through stations in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. The program was seen in color only at a few select facilities because color sets for the home weren’t available until 1954. Sales of color sets caught up with those of black and white sets around 1970. Shortly thereafter, American consumers began preferring foreign manufactured sets, and in 1995, the last domestic brand was sold to a Korean firm. What little receiver manufacturing remains is a $52 million a year business in the U.S. You can find current data on the country’s economy by downloading the ‘America’s Economy’ mobile application at <www.census.gov/mobile>.

Has anyone seen this article about heroin use in Henderson?
http://www.theconsiderateusa.com/cheap-heroin-brings-outside-buyers.html
This goes back to my post the other day about whether or not the “war on drugs” really is a battle that Law Enforcement really wants to win. As far as the heroin that is available in the Henderson area this is certainly not a new fact. Look at the Daily Dispatch arrest by the HPD and the Sheriff’s Dept. and you will notice people arrested on drug charges that are from Apex, Cary, Durham, Raleigh, etc. Certainly they have heroin in their areas but evidently the cheap prices that the dealers in Henderson are offering makes them make the trek to Vance County to get their “fix”!!

Gone With The Wind was a book before the movie–so are you planning to take on every library in the country also. Then on to the Library of Congress? There’s just no end to change is there?
Sorry JJ, GWTW is a great movie. Getting rid of the flag is a great idea. Saturday I intend to burn one.
