Some months ago Mr. Thompson, of North Bay, was in Timâ€" mims and he made it plain that he conâ€" sidered Timmins the best place for a radio broadcasting station. Mr. Thompâ€" son has successfully conducted the staâ€" tion at North Bay so he should be able to speak with authority. He asked, and received the support of the town counâ€" _cll and other bodies and individuals in the idea of pressing upon the Governâ€" ment the need for a highâ€"power broadâ€" casting station in the North. With so many radio fans in the North it might be thought that there would be unusâ€" ual enthusiasm in regard to the proâ€" »posed establishment of a broadcast staâ€" tion. There is some enthusiasm but not so much as might be expected. The reason fof this is because radio fans are occupied with other problems â€" the chief other problem being that of interference. What seems to be needed now is a general discussion on the radio broadeasting station for the North with a view to bringing out the best ideas and having the viewpoint of as many as possible.â€"F. E. Wood, of Iroquois FPalls, has been helpful with his letters discussing the question. The preposal of The Northern Tribune that the broadcast station be located at Moosonee is also worthy of interest. Were the proposed station expected to provide a programme of its cwn, Mooâ€" sonee would be jimpossible at present. shculd rest simply with trouble. The fact that there is interference does not upset the fact that a radio broamdcastâ€" ing station would be of value to the North, and that its location and other details are of special importance. Here is the editorial from The Cochâ€" rane Northland Post:â€" "The Northern Tribune of Kapuskaâ€" sing and Mr. Wood, of the Iroquois Falls Board of Trade are presently enâ€" gaged in a friendly discussion regardâ€" ing the most desirable location for a "eliminate interference, or radio is no use, anyway" they say. Timmins fans are troubled with interference also ‘but this does not mean that the matter About Broadcast _ Station for North The Advance has published some of Mr. Wood‘s letters with the purpose of increasing interest in the matter at issue. Below will be fcund an editorial article from The Cochrane Northland Post, This article emphasizes an atâ€" titude ‘adopted by many radio fansâ€" Its chief purpose however is to reâ€" broadcast so that programmes may be available throughout the country. Elimination cf Interference More Imâ€" | station Portant Even Than a Broadcasting | better siation, Says The Cochrane :Th:ugl Northland Post. nortan: THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO Unta that a The Advance for a great many years has made it the policy of the paper to insist on all subscriptions being paid in advance. (By the way, how is your subscription at the moment?) â€" To conâ€" tinue. The Advance insists on payâ€" ment for The Advance in advance. That rlan is all to the advantage of the advertisers for all subscribers are readers for no one pays for a paper without reading it. There is. too much Scotch in the country for that. Also ‘the plan is an advantage to the reader, for he does not have a paper forced upon him without his desire, or have is "slipped over"‘ On him. Then, of csourse, there is the advantage to the newspaper itself from such a system. One of the features of ‘this advantage is the fact that The Adâ€" vance can have a laugh at the followâ€" ing, which every other newspaper can not really do. The little item in quesâ€" tion last week in The, High River Times, of High River, Alberta. and reads as follows:â€" i s 2t "Third notice." â€"Every editor has received them. The postmaster sends them to the editor. The postmaster is not to blame. For instance there is a man by the name ofâ€"well, say, Tim Short, who sent us three notices to stop his paper. He did not want it any longer. We wondered what was the matter. Upon investigating our subâ€" scription list we found that Tim was short 6 dollars. He nevéer paid a cent, yet he stopped his paper as a matter of us. A few evenings or so later we stepped into a church and Tim‘s melodious voice rang out clear in the song, "Jesus Paid it All." We may have been mistaken, but his earnestâ€" ness impressed us. The next day we sent him a receip! in full, begging his pardon for not knowing that he had made an assignment of his liabilities Huntingdon Glepner:â€"â€"Wonder what the parents cf a world series pitcher think about when their boy wins?

But Mrs. Gomez, the winner‘s mother sat quietly at home, and said:;: "I am sorry for the boy pitching for the other side.

YONDER IN THE GREAT WEST WHERE MEN ARE MEN f interest in the lozcation of a broadâ€" casting station in Northern Ontario, conditions of reception, particularly in the daylight hours, must be greatly improved. As the interference is quite evidently located in the town‘s distriiâ€" buting system, it is a matter for the Public Utilities Commission to deal with, and nc efforts should be spared in tracking down and eliminating the trouble. From the standpint of the Public Utilities itsel{ it is highly desâ€" irable that this trouble be eliminated, for if, as it seems most likely, it is cause by a breakdown some place in the system, this breakdown represâ€" ants an ever present pstential source of trouble and expense.

At least half of the interâ€" ference in radio reception in ‘Cochrane is due to preventable causes, and it is highly exasperating to know this and know tco that nothing, absolutely nothâ€" ing, is being done. Must the pesple of Cochrane put up with this and other things forever? "Before the people of Cochrane can be expected to take any great amount "Tf the above mentioned interference is due to a fault in the town‘s distriâ€" buting system steps should be taken by the Public Utilities Commission to have the fault rectified. The Public Utilities Commission does little or nothâ€" ing to justify its existence, so there apâ€" pears to be no reason why this matâ€" ter could not be thorsughly gone into, and solution of the trouble fsund. The people of Cochrane are paying plenty for electric light and power, and the Commission is not so burdened with matters that it could not devote the necessary time to this particular probâ€" lem. There is no doubt but that dayâ€" light reception of radio would be a common occurrence in Coochrane were ‘t not for the interfersnce referred to, and the most discouraging feature of the situation is the apparent apathy toward it. Though the town has been troubled with this particular complaint for several years, apparently a solution a nature as to indicate beyond any possible doubt that it is due to causes within the boundaries â€"and contrgl of the municipality, If other towns in the North have been similarly handicapped in regard to daylight reception, it would be interesting and instructive to learn what measures if any were taken, and what degree, of success, if any, attenâ€" ded these measures.
