Having completed its census of Amer- fcan radio-receiving sets on April 1, 1930; the Census Bureau hopes to have the total compiled by April 1 of this| year. In the meantime, it is issuing as fast | as they can be compiled the “radio set populations” by States. The first suwe[ count last week showed that New | Hampshire, with 119,660 families, has | 53,111 with sets. In other words, 44.4 per cent of the familles of the State have radios. The second count re- leased showed Delaware, with 59,205 families, has 27,183, or 45.8 per cent, owning radios. 444,676 Receiving Sets in Canada. Canada had 444,676 radio receiving sets in operation at the end of 1930, says a bulletin of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Canadian government charges a license fee of $1 a year to sus- tain the Federal radio administration, although broadcasting is operated as a private enterprise as in the United States. Short Wave Fan Tunes in London - By Way of America NEW YORK (#).—Malcolm F. Forst, English short-wave fan, often’ gets London programs by way of America. In a letter to N. B. C. he reports that on numerous occasions he tunes in W3XAL, the short wave station of WJZ, and gets a speaker or music that had crossed the Atlantic twice—once when sent over for rebroadcasting by the American network, and again when returned by W3XAL when that station is included in these retransmissions. | casting Co. program periods formerly Folks Behind the Microphone ELEN NUGENT, whose rich mezzo soprano voice is sent l I through the air by Columbia Broadcasting System stations, is one artist who really found out what she wanted when the was very young. So she worked hard, stuck to_her ideals and won. It was a cold January morning in 1904 when Miss Nugent came into the world. The place was Cincin- nati. Sh2 spent 12 years in a convent and after gradua- tion returned there to teach in_ the grades. But short- ly afterward she determined to make a name for herself. At that, time the Cincinnati Opera Co. was just being organized With knees trembling, she entered the Helen Nugemt Competition for a and had the distinction of being one of a small group that was chosen from 150 competitcrs. It was not long after her debut as a minor soloist when she was recognized by officials of the opera company. After many rehearsals and much tiresome training she became the official con- tralto soloist. In this capacity she sang for six seasons—all the while develop- ing her vocal range. Miss Nugent made her premiere be- fore the microphone at Station WSAI in Cincinnati with a mixed quartet. In this work she again distinguished herself, and in 1929 Columbia called | her to New York to star in sponsored network programs. She now contributes to more than a dozen of Columbia’s cutstanding broadcasts. * *x % x i HICAGO will come on the air with | a bang this week.
