Abstract.Let $C$ be a numerically connected curve lying on a smooth algebraic surface. We show that an invertible sheaf $\sH\numeq \om_{C}\otimes \sA$ is normally generated on $C$ if $\sA$ is an ample invertible sheaf of degree $\geq 3$.

As a corollary we show that on a smooth algebraic surface of general type the invertible sheaf $K_S^{\otimes 3}$ yields a projectively normal embedding of $S$ assuming $K_S$ ample, $(K_S)^2\ge3$, $p_g(S) \geq 2$ and $q(S)=0$.
