It was perhaps one of the most harmonious and enthusiastic meetings held in years by the di- rectors and the report of Secretary James Shaw while naturally not complete, was the most encourag- ing the directors have received in years, ELECTRIC PHOTO WITHIN A MINUTE New York, Sept. 19.--Electrical impulses were picked out of the air apd converted into a photo- graph, five by eight inches, in less than one minute at a demon- stration of the Westinghouse radio photo apparatus today at the radio world's fair in Madison Square Garden, Dr. Viadimir KX. Zworvkin, re- search engineer, who developed the apparatus, explained that the pics tures are made by the exposure of sensitized paper to light. Three principal pieces are used, a sending set, a receiving set,, and a syn- chronizer. : Wi en the ermomefer is UP -- COAL "* ~he price of coal, like other commodities, is based on the old law of supply and demand, Light dema-d--low prices, In. crea-cd 4 rand creates a cor- responding increase in prices.

Prompt and effi-ient -~~vice is our motto, GENERAL MOTORS WOOD -- HARD WOOD BLO CK: SOFT WOOD BLOCKS SCRAP WOOD LUM SER RADIOS IGNORED FOR TELEVISION Latest Invention Centre of Interest at New York Fair - a. .New York, Sept 19.--Radio tele- vision, little more than wild dream a year ago, took the cemtre of the stage and held it at the Fifth An- nual Radio World's Fair, which opened in Madison Square Ger- den Monday night. The utmost efforts of makers of ordinary radio equipment to lure the fans into their sections of the elephantine spectacle proved futile until the public had satisfied itself about the present condition and fu- ture prospects of television. Although some of the more opu- lent manufacturers had erected Spanish villas and sprinkled them with eye-filling young women and other attentlon-halting devices, the exposition visitors left themr flat for the hastily banged together beaverboard huts housing the rival television apparatus. Extra police were stationed at the latter to keep the crowds moving. What they saw was some odd looking and queer actig pieces of mechanism. The most amazing one was that of the General Electric Co., developed by Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson, because {it demon- started the hitherto unheard of feat of projecting television on a silver screen with voice accompaniment. The screen showed images 12 inches square of the subject to sue- cessive crowds of 650 persons who passed in and out of a darkened room as fast the police could handle them. The achievement moved television out of the 'peep- show" and into the movie class, but at about the point where mo- tion picture projection was 25 years ago. Indeed, the images greatly resembled the sort of mrov- fes that knocked 'em cold at the St. Louis World's Fair. 12-Inch Screen On the 12-inch screen the face of Dr, D, McFarland Moore, igventor of the 'Crater Lamp" used in the device--a vacum tube with what is apparently a white metal spool inside -- appeared and lectured briefly, Then Miss Faye Cusick, an actress, and Lee Crowe, an actor, appeared facially and one after the other for a few moments in a hit from "The Queen's Messenger," a one-act play by Hartley Manners. Their faces were recognizable, but not sharply defined. The playlet was also a trifle vague, owing to its having been bobtailed in order to shorten the program and allow ad- ditional audiences to see it. Dr. Moore explained that the projection was by means of trans- mitted narrow bands of light, each band racing across the screen with part of the subject's face and all of them pieking up the contours and laying them down so fast that an {illusion was created. It was noticeable in watching television that each time a specta- tor blinked his eyes, an orange streak seemed to that particular spectator, to lash across the screen, This caused a dazzling ef- fect which could only be avoided it was explained, by refraining from blinking. Amateur Set Other television sets at the fair ranged fromr peep-shows with screens about three inches square to an amateur set in the New York Telegram booth which registered rather clearly, but on a screen about the size of a lady's calling card. "Will the television receiver of 1936 look like this?" was the sign over a cubistic box in the New York Sun booth. The projection, how- ever, was of a miniature movie film which proved popular because it repeated for all to see the dreadful experience of Gene Tunney during the seventh round with Jack Demp- sey in Chicago. Although the television experts told inquirers frankly and repeat- edly that , television is still in swaddling clothes, the experience of Mortimer Stewart, the fairs television director, in selecting the cast for "The Queen's Messenger," led him to predict what the tele- vision actress of the future will look like. Blondes and brunettes do not seems to televise well said Stewart and neither do bobbed heads. The Mary Pickford of 1938 may there- fore answer the following descrip- tion: Red halr. long and preferably wavy; large, limpid eyes of Liue; perfect teeth; cameo reacures and a voice that will broadcast well enough not to ruin the harmony of the rest. Fo far ker ankles, knees, etc.,, do not matter. They will not show anyhow. Attempts to televise Ann Pennington's knees piecemeal yesterday and thus ob- tain a little publicity for everybody concerned resulted in a 100 per cent loss of sex appeal. Many other things are featuring in the radio show, including a series of radio weddings Friday in which the bride and bridegroom will do their blushing fin different parts of the hall while the minister de- mands the "I do's" from still a third point. MARTIN T0 OPEN FAIR Seaforth, Sept. 19.--The Hon. Johy S. Martin, Minister of Agri- culture, will be the guest of the Seaforth Agricultural Society at a luncheon in his honor at the Queen's Hotel, Seaforth, on Fri- day, September 21, after which he will open the program at the fair grounds.
