CORPUS CHR1ST1 (AP) - T.
Fruit Smith, owner of KRIS-TV,
hM a theory that a television
(octroi room is not necessarily
a man's world. He operates his
station with a staff of 28 young
women.
With ease and pleasant assur-
ance, they do all me split-second,
highly technical tasks which send
out pictures and sound. They even
push those big TV cameras
around.
Smith believes he has the only
all-girl control rooms in the na-
tion.
"I discovered women when !
started hiring them to run my
radio operations back in 1944,' be
said. "In my opinion, they do the
intricate, skilled tasks much bet-
• ter than men and they make the
j working conditions at the station"
jj ideal. They are solid as a rock
■ and, by gosh, they Just don't make
f errors."
I\ The only men who come to the
control rooms are engineers who
can be summoned in emergencies

t intelligent woman, supervises the

deal of the training. She has oeaa
Willi Smith 11 years.
Joyce Rail, former manicurist,
ipervises the projection
wrattoos. Joyce was
Smith's nails one day
years ago and remarked she
certainly would "like to get into
the TV business. She's been
it ever since!
My girls are eager, enthu-
siastic ani stay glued to their
jobs," Smith says, "fyey work
well under pressure. Most people
assume that when you get a bunch
ris together in en office
re bound to fight, but my
have a great affection for
each other. Another thing—they're
never late for wOrk and seldom
absent Last time a girl was
absent was more than six weeks
ago. She had a strep throat and
I had to insist that she go home.
Of the 16 girls who work exclu-
sively at th« TV controls, 14 are
married or hrsve been, an^ 13 of
these have children.
"Our preference." says Smith,
"is girls 30 to 35 years of age
with plenty of children...girls who
don't particularly care for cook-
ing and
m
house and who
occupy their
time as well as the money. With
tt girls employed, there was only
>e pregnancy last year."
Girls handle the audio, or sound,
operations and the video, or pic-
ture, operations. They splice film
and edit it and project it Ten

girls can handle video,
and projection operations
equally weil,r' Smith say*. "These
guis weren't content to, just learn
one operation. A)1 of them insisted
oh learning all of the operations.
This isn't true of the men oper-
ators I know in the television
busineos."
Edna Laverne Procter, known
i "Pug," is 20 and has four
children. Though she has been
with KRIS-TV only three months
she already can handle a camera,
run the -projector and operate the
video controls.
This was. the setup recently
during the telecast of a western
film. ' ,
Ruth Schuetze, .who has three
children, worked'the audio con
trols. She watched, the hero in-
tently on a monitor television set.
As he drew his pistol end fired,
Mrs. Schuetze deftly lowered tile
level, 'sparing the ears of
TV listeners.
Martha Brown was operating the
film projector which was unreel-'
ing tne western. The mother of
two children,. Mrr. Brown is so
skilled that she can remedy, hi
30 second*, any break in the film.
She has been with KRIS-TV a
year and says "I've never heard
an argument the whole time."
Pert Nits Thompson, 19, timed
a film that would be shown the
next day. Nits «bo can operate
the TV cameras. •
Virginia White, a widow with
three children, busily edited a
movie film. But often she handles
the sound and picture controls.
• Smith, a skilled radio and TV
engineer as well as a station own-
er aifd administrator, says the
work the girls do "requires knowl-
edge, pride, diligence and com-
plete attention. I definitely feel
they do a better job than men I
have seen." . *
