But, of course, we're {only concerned with the *on” part | | of that sentence, so we'll confine our | |remarks, accordingly.

Very little fading, but inter- | |station interference was heart- breaking. o 0. There were sations at every twist | of the dial. SBometimes there was | one at a twist and sometimes there | were three or four, but that was to be expected, of course. We attended WBZ for the dinner dance program | by Jerry Falvey's orchestra, two new | “C" batteries making all the dif-| ! ference in the world as far as qual- |ity was concerned. After that we roamed around a bit and surprised | ourself several times by bringing in | unexpected stations with unexpect- | |ed volume. Among them was WSB, | Atlanta, which station we held for about half an hour while a dance | program was being broadcast. Later {on that station presented a program by the 22nd Infantry band of Fort Wadsworth, and we heard such | widely difterent numbers as “Na- | {tional Emblem March” and “When | Day Is Done.” ! . WEAF acted strangely at times early in the evening. It gradually | straightened itself out, but when we first tuned in it twisted itself into, | several intricate knots. Probably it was laughing at the antics of the | Happiness Boys, Billy Jones and | Ernest Hare, who presented one of their delightful programs between | {7:30 and 8 o'clock. They sang new | | songs and got rid of several rather | | elderly jokes which clicked, never- | theless, because of the ability of | those two gentlemen as story tellers and comedians. There's a wonderful | !spirit of informality present when | | those two boys are on the air. PRI | The Cities Service concert orches- | [tra and the Cavaliers male quartet offered a well balanced program from WTIC, part of it being dedi- cated to the third anniversary of !that station. The orchestra played | one number, and we were surprised | to hear it. “Soliloquy,” Rube| Bloom's pleasant eccentricity, or ec- | | centric pleasantry, take your pick, | | we're well educated, was presented in a manner tending to raise that |number into the musical “400." | | “Soliloquy” is as hard to play as it lis to spell. It can be neither played | nor spelled without thinking the | | matter over considerably. The entire | program was excellent, the Cavaliers | offering, among others, “Lamp in the West,” intercollegiate glee club | prize song of a few years ago, and | “She’s Mine, All Mine,” a light pop- | ular number in a brand new evening | dress. 1 ] P The Hotel Sinton orchestra, | | through WSAI, Cincinnati, provided la program of remarkably well| | played dance numbers, two of them | being new to us. Of course, we sup- | pose there are many sclections that would be new to us, but it's seldom | that one hears two new ones in suc- Jm*nflon. “Indian Cradle Song” and | “Won't You Understand,” an orig- | {inal number by the planist of the | Homer | Bernhard, who is heard regularly on lan informal program ecach Saturday | evening, that means he'll be on the |air tonight shortly after 8, if we| | didn’t miss one finger in counting. | We'll start again. Homer sang | “Diane” in a tenor voice, which is |the way it should be sung. WSAI | was as clear as a bell. It sounded | just like one until we’ found a mi- | crophonic tube in our radio cabinet, | which doesn’t sound as funny as we thought it was going to. | o o o | Several boxing bouts were held |at WABC, New York, but we didn't| | get very near to them due to the | successful broken-field running of a | number of other stations.

This board granted only a nine-hour day and practically turned down the other demands of the strikers, but the decision was accepted and on October 28 the miners resumed work. Locally, much hardship and more alarm was created by the strike. No sooner had the walkout occurred than the fear of a fuclless winter gripped New Britain, creating a near panic. Prices began to soar al- most daily, going from well under $10 to more than $20 and $25 a Get a Booklet CONTRIBUTED Dear Mary Ann: The other night I was reading a popular magazine and comes across ton, while the poor people paid a |PY @ Professor or something who cent a pound for the increasingly [W48 running a “Beauty School precious coal and earried it home in |Course” by mail and it anyone was hods, pans, or bags.

Dizsily yours, Jim Flatfoot. Dear Old Soak. Remember the phota I sent you of me standing be- side the “Bearded Lady" at the Savin Rock museum and you return- ed it because you couldn't tell which was me? Well, even you would be isurprised to see how I've changed since taking your “Beauty Course” for only ten smackers. Without boasting or blushing I can say that I've become s0 good-looking that people stop, look and listen when I walk by, especially when I'm wear- ing my plus-fours, tan shoes and tight-fitting derby. Signature., Larry Vain, Dear Bir. A short time age I was s0 homely that I often crossed to the other side of the street rather than have cute Seppers pass remarks and mistake me for Lon Chaney or something. But after taking your wonderful “Course” and following directions for a mere ten-spot, I've improved so grestly that these same flappers now cross the street to greet me and asks if I'm Tom Meighan, Truly yours, Hammand Egss. Well, Mary, if I takes this “Course” (providing I can borrow tne berries from my friends without having ‘em ask when am I gonna return the last ten.spots they loan- ed me) my looks will no doubt im- prove by leaps and bounds and when I speaks to you the next time we meets I hope you'll recognize me and not wallop me over the bean and knock me bow-legged with a closed umbrella or something, on account of thinking I'm a fresh bozo who is trying to get gay with you.
