S. Canada, Mexico and Cuba to Meet at Ottawa. Radio officials of Canada, the United States, Mexico and Cuba will meet at Ottawa this month, probably beginning January 21, for the purpose of adjust- ing conficting claims to short wave channels for continental communica- tions. The chlef problem is the distribution of channels between Canada and the United States on a basis of parity and the prevention of interference. At pre- vious conferences Canadian officials in- sisted on_an equal division of wave lengths. Representatives of this coun- try contended that the United States, with its much greater population and commercial development, required a prnlaswmommy larger number of chan- nels. The Canadians maintain that the expansion of population and the rapid development of industries in their coun- try necessitates the use of additional radio facilities and that in the vast areas of the north radio is the only feasible method of communication. Dominion authorities have taken the position that the limited number of channels in the short wave band should not be assigned to commercial enter- prises where wire service is available. The recent action of the Federal Radio Commission is granting the use of sev- eral of these channels for point to point communication paralleling land lines was criticized by Canada’s press as un- fair to that country. American delegates, however, are con- fident that a satisfactory settlement of the controversy can be reached, says Lieut. Comdr. T. A. M. Craven, short wave adviser for the commission. In addition to Comdr. Craven, Harold La- fount, Sam Pickard and O. H. Cald- well, radio commissioners, and W. R. +Vallance of the State Department com- prise the delegation. Byrd Party Hears KDKA. A message to KDKA, Pittsburgh, from Comdr. Richard E. Byrd in the Antarc- tic tells of hearing the station “at our camp on the barrier at the most south- erly radio equipped place in the world.” To Outlaw the Rat. The British government has made it 8 misdemeanor to have a rat on the premises and if a property owner de- clines to eradicate the rodent, the gov- ernment officials take the case in hand and perform the operation and send the bill to the landlord. One authority de- clares that “the destruction wrought by the vast hordes of rodents in the world is far greater than that wrought by lions, tigers, wolves and all other noxious mammals together.” 300,000 Children Join Uncle Bob’s Safety Rule Club CHICAGO (#).—Children of the radio audience, 300,000 of them in the United States and Canada, are members of Uncle Bob's “The Curb Is the Limit” Club. Five years ago Walter Wilson, the ncle Bob” of Station KYW, began to weave talks on safety into his programs for children. He organized the club from juvenile listeners who heard him preach against children running into crowded streets. “I could not provide safe play- grounds for the youngsters, but 1 could help them learn the rules of safety,” he said. 2:00—Lawyers’ Air Megazine. 2:30—Caucasians. 3:00—Philharmonic Symphony. 4:15—Studio recital. 5:15—Sunday Forum 6:00—Great cathedrals. 7:00—Orchestra. 7:30—Concert orchestra. 8:30—Choir Invisible. 9:30—Playhouse. 10:30—Pipe dreams. 348.6—WABC New York—860 10:50a—Church services, 3:00—Symphonic hour. 4:00—Cathedral hour. 5:00—Music. 5:30—Tenth Presbyterian Church. 6:00—Musical program. 7:05—Ensemble. 8:00—Around the Samovar. 8:30—Feature program. 9:00—Theater of the air. 10:00—Audions. 10:30—Souvenir; dance. 272.6—~WPG Atlantic’ City—1,100 4:30—Community recital. 5:15—Religious services. 17:00—Sunday concert. 9:15—News; concert orchestra. 10:00—Sunday evening musical. 11:00—Organ concert. 282.8—WBAL Baltimore—1,060 3:00—Young people’s conference. 5:30—Dr. Fosdick. 6:30—Anglo Persians. 7:30—Concert orchestra. 8:00—Melodies; magazine hour. 9:15—Jubilee Singers. 9:45—Evening reveries. 256.3—WCAU Philadelphia—1,170 1:15—Church services. 3:00—WABC programs (2 hours). 5:00—Jubilee Singers; church. 6:00—Orchestras. 7:00—Booth family; pioneers. 8:00—WABC programs (214 hours). 305.9—KDKA Pittsburgh—980 11:00a—Church services. 6:00—Orchestra; Anglo-Persians, 7:00—Evening services. 8:00—Melodies; magazine hour, 9:15—Jubilee Singers. 9:45—El Tango Romantico. 260.7—WHAM Rochester—1,150 11:00a—Church services. 5:30—Dr. Fosdick. 6:30—Anglo Persians. 7:00—Travelogue. 8:00—Melodies; magazine hour. 9:15—Jubilee Singers. 9:45—El Tango Romantico. 379.5—WGY Schenectady—790 11:00a—Church services. 4:00—Dr. Cadman. 6:00—Parade; Acousticons, 7:00—Werrenrath concert. 7:30—Theater Family. 9:00—D.

ATLANTA, Ga., January 12 (®).— Little children and people who seldom speak or perform before the public often are less likely to become speech- less before the radio microphone, says Lambkin Kay, veteran director of Sta- tion WSB. “It is surprising the way some men, accustimed to speaking or performing before large audiences, become para- Iyzed when they enter alone into a ra- dio broadcasting room and appear be- fore the microphone,” Kay says. “One of the most striking examples was a Florida civic leader who came to the station for an address. He was accustomed to speaking before audi- ences and was considered a good speak- er. He came here a week ahead of time to ‘get his bearings' before the micro- “I was at home that night and heard my assistant introduce him. There was a pause, ‘Then my assistant’s voice came back on the air and began delivering a speech. Later I learned that the man was struck dumb before the microphone and handed his speech |Children and People Who Speak Little In Public Best at “Mike,” Says Atlantan to the announcer and asked him to read it. “Often we get vaudeville stars to sing, play or speak before our radio audi- ences. A ukulele player once made three bad starts before he was able to begin all over again and go_through his number. He was a regular stage entertainer, too. “I think they would do much better if they thought the power was off and they were talking or playing to them- selves. Little children who are not too timid to read, play or sing before small audiences generally make fine radio ‘appearances’ because they do not be- come flustered before the microphone. I do not know why, but some of the men and women who become least ex- cited before the microphone are those who have never appeared before public audiences. “One of the best radio speeches I ever heard, so far as stage conduct is concerned, was delivered by the late Rudolph Valentino on a visit to At- lanta. He walked up to the microphone and was perfectly at home.” RADIO’S MAJOR FEATURES TODAY. 5:30—Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia; “The Bible and Justification” — WABC, WCAU, WNAC, WEAN, WFBL, WMAK, WJAS, WADC, WKRC, ‘WGHP, WMAQ, ‘WMAL, WLBW. 5:30—Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick: “Importance of Ordinary Man” —WJZ, WBZ, WBAL, WHAM, WLW, KYW. 6.00—Band_Parade; Varied Pro- gram—WEAF, WEEI, WTIC, WJAR, WTAG, WCSH, WFI, WRC, WGY, WGR, WCAE, WTAM, WWJ, WGN, WHAS, WSM, WBT. 6:30—Anglo Persians; Classical Program—WJZ, WBZ, WBAL, KDKA, WLW, WJR, KYW. 10:15—National Light Opera— WEAF, WFI, WGY, WTAM, ‘WHAS, WSB, WRC. 280.2—WTAM-WEAR Cleveland—1,070 1:30—Afternoon music 5:30—Twilight voices; parade. 6:30—WEAF program. 7:00—Hotel Orchestra. :30—Theater Family. 8:45—Music; A.
