The station monopolized about 10 points on the dials and the music was rather fuzzy at times, but we didn't mind that,| | since we considered ourself fortu- nate to bring in anything. We like the voice of the announcer from the | Roger Sherman, he talks so confi-| | dential and chummy-like. From the | Hotel Taft the announcer seemed to | | be afraid of the microphone.

WABC, New York, was very strong, | as usual, a reader being occupied | | with a description of the skies and | || scenery when we tuned in. | PR | Shortly after 7:30 o'clock, our old | friend, The Big Blooper, hit WDRC, New Haven, right smack in the solar | plexus. The station went down for | the count. It was lost to us after that | and all we could make out wasa horrible squealing and howling | where there should have been music. | PRI | We managed to tune in CJCI, Tor- | onto, broadcasting on about 291 me- ters. This station was not very loud, | but the announcer was an interest- ing and jovial talker he intro- duced a dance orchestra which played “Idolizing,” among others. . . Just before 8 o'clock we hit WBZ as the Capitol theater orchestra was concluding its program.

A trumpet solo, “Little Blue Bud of My Heart,” or something to that ef- fect, since that title doesn't make sense, but few of them do, was pre- sented, much to our delight. o o ow The Record Boys offered one of their usual programs from WJZ and WBZ, our listening being confined to the latter station.

We heard WSUI, Towa City, very loud, with its weekly organ recital, {and WCCO, Minneapolis, exceedingly strong, with dance music from the Nankin Cafe. WSB, Atlanta, was present, also. We ran into two new ones, the names of which we couldn’t make out to save us. One was something like WBNA, where located, we don't know. Another, which came through very loud, w KFKB, or some such title, away out west in Kansas, but in what town we don’t kno’ The latter was broad- casting on about 430 meters, while the former held to meters.

At about 12:45 o'clock we brought |in KFI, Los Angeles, and it would have been very loud, if there hadn't been a lot of local disturbance.

On the street floor are the of- fices of the Woonsocket Institution for Savings, the Darling Hardware | company and several other stores.
