ARCTIC WILL ENJOY WLSIC FROM AR First Program of Year Going Forward: This Evening Probably no development in ra- 4@io offers more thrill of accomplish- ment or a greater contribution to increased happiness and helpfulness today than the establishment of systematic and regular broadcasting, through powerful radio stations, to those who are for months and some- times for vears isolated in the froz- en outposts of the Arctic and sub- Arctic regions. Through the long Arctic night those whose duties Kkeep them in mission station and hospital, trading outpost, trapping settlement or in educational, relief, | or exploration service are in many Instances completely isolated from all contact with civilization. They are cut off, even from telegraph and postal service, and to reach them with messages from home, with cheering entertainment and with news of the outside world is indeed & marvelous and worthwhile achievement of radio, Just this thing is being done by radio today. Through a definitely established and previously an- nounced series of programs, lasting through the winter, these isolated warders of the north—men of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, misslonary workers, trappers, sgents and employees of the age-old trading companies, explorers in the Arctic and Antarctic—all will he able to gather around their radio | sets at predertiminedetao shr etaoi sets at predetermined hours and to receive eagerly awaited messages from home and loved ones to the sccompaniment of a delightful and cheer-bringing entertainment pro- gram. ‘The monotony of the far-flung frontiers of civilization is broken— forgotten for hours at a time—as word from home, music entertain- ment, and world news come flash- ing to transport them a thousand miles and more back into the circle of everyday life. To these hardy pi- oneers it is more than a thrill— more than a radio entertainment. It 48 & revelation—a blessing beyond power of words. The radio—anni- hilator of space—hds achieved a @reater triumph. Begun a few winters ago, the in. terest taken in these Arctic pro- grams has now been fully proved. Hundreds of letters received out of the inscrutable North, have attested the appreciation of these people for the messages from home and their unbounded delight in the entertain- ment program sent into places where no such relief from the seri- ous side of life could otherwise penetrate. Broadcast through the powerful radio stations KFKX, KYW of Chicago, WBZ of Spring- field, WBZA of Boston and KDK of Pittsburgh, these voices of civill- sation have penetrated hundreds of miles beyond the Arctic Circle to bring cheer and comfort to all who were lonely and desolate. The Arctic programs for the com- | ing winter have, therefore, been ar- ranged upon a more elaborate scale than ever. A series of fifteen such programs have been carefully pre- pared, each to last for approximate- ly four hours—four hours devoted to these heart-to-heart personal | messages, to stirring music and to entertainment features that are specially arranged for the en]oy—\ ment of Far Northern listeners. As early as last spring, a complete schedule of these programs was sent into the north giving the dates and hour, the stations and their wave fengths and ail other information Decessary to that every available radio set in the northlands of Can- &da, Alaska, Newfoundland and Greenland may be prepared to listen in. Arrangements also have been made to transmit messages to the Antarctic Expedition led by Com. mander Byrd. The ears of the north will, there- fore, be listening eagerly and there will be many iInterested listeners at home when the announcer of Sta- | tion KYW, Chicago, makes his first announcement to the Arctic at 11:00 ». m. Eastern Standard Time, to- night. Broadcast on the standard wave lengths of the stations named |above—so that all the world may | hear—these programs will be given |each Baturday night thereafter up {to and including February 23rd, | with the exception of December 22 (and December 29. For these there will be substituted special programs on Christmas and New Years nights. It is not only the men in the field however, who will enjoy this Arctic broadcasting. There are countless adventurers-at-heart who may have to stay at home yet who radio thrills of a lifetime. MOON OFTEN LATE | S | Luna Not Any Too Prompt, Horo- | logist Says | London, Nov. 23.

JOKE HAILED AS ART Swedish Music Publisher's “Paint- ing” Praised by Oritics Malmoe, 8weden, Nov. 23. (UP)— A still life picture painted as & joke by a Malmoe ‘music publish E. Andersson, who executed crude ‘“piece of art” with his thumbs, inspired the praise of con. noisseurs at a recent amateur exhl bition here. Numerous flattering articles appeared in the local press until the practical jester revealed his identity. The hanging committee, canvass- ing Malmoe by paintings by ama- teurs, appealed to Andersson, who had studied art in his youth, to submit a picture.

The canvas was accepted piece of modernism and im: diately became the center of in- terest at the show. One eritic spoke highly of the technique In whieh the painting was executed, another praised its rich charm. Some collectors offered to buy it. CUTE COLL PER Miami, Fla. ov. 23.
