_ A healithful,energrzing Winter Breakfast. Dehcxous hot with â€" Bandy Falls, Ont., Feb. l14th 1927 The Editor, Porecupine Advance, Timmins, Ontario. Dear Sir:â€"I noticed with much inâ€" terest your remarks in the last issue of The Advance in reference to a radio broadeasting station for the North and in response to your request I bheg to submit my opinion on the matter. Thinks Local Broadcasting Station Would be a Benefit The following letter received this week is selfâ€"explanatory, and well worth reading and consideration :â€" Before I proceed, let it be underâ€" stood that, contrary to general opinâ€" ion, Station 3 G.G. of Sandy Falls is NOTF a broadcasting station. â€" This station operates in strict compliance with the radio laws covering its Govâ€" ernment Licenses as â€"an **Amateur Radio Transmitting Station‘‘ and deâ€" signed to ‘‘carry on communication and experiments in the radio art with any other radio amateur station within range,‘‘ on definitely specified wave lengths well removed from the commercial broadcasting wave zones. Sardy~y Falls station works from point to pbint only, with the exception of the Official Radio Relay League broadeasts (which are of about fifteen minutes â€" duration every â€" Saturday night) and contain matter only of experimental interest to radio amaâ€" teurs who take part in the continual tests being carried on with the Army and Navy Departments of the various zvovernments throughout the world. Only during a period of public peril through storms, floods, fire, earthâ€" quake and such like emergencies would any amateur radio station like 3 be allowed to broadcast to the publie at large, and then only on the authority of some public official like the Mayor or Chief of Police. There! â€" That ought to be clear. New to get along with the real matter in hand. Tkis ~advantage of being located several hundred miles from a broadâ€" castimg station of any real size can never be fully appreciated until one has listened in on a radio located in the midst of half a dozen big stations whieh are all going full blast within a of ten miles. Thke conditions at present throughâ€" out the North, from a listener‘s point of view, while being far from ideal, vet furnish complete immunity from loeal station interference. Nearly all of its fan mail carrying eneeuraging praise and helpful comâ€" ments comes from everywhere but the ‘‘*heme town!*‘ Every broadcasting station in exisâ€" tenee has hosts of unwilling listeners cachk evening whose pet ambition is to shoulder off the *‘local offering"‘ in er€er to ‘‘shop around‘‘ the more distart cities. This instinet to ‘‘shop around the dial and visit‘‘ is inherent in every hunaan, and where a radio set is conâ€" cerned it usually infects the fingers ef the owner with a disease similar to ‘*the seven years‘ iteh.‘‘ Consequenâ€" But for the Present, Radio Fans Generally Might Not Welcome Such a Statlon in North. Pioneer of Radio in This North Writes Very Interesting Letter on the Quesâ€" tion of a Broadcasting Station for the North. Or the whole I do not think the present owners of radio sets will be any goo well pleased if a radio broadâ€" castiag station of the usual type and power is located in the district, esâ€" peeially so, if the same is operated on a regular daily schedule. â€" % they san get Contrary 1 the ‘*home t« the qrestion as all radio vet the home Nearly all c eneguraging It is s that very on earth to their they strange y few r h, ever "‘local Puts You On Your Toes milk and melied buiter nge, but nevertheless true, w radio listeners any where ver care to listen for long ocal station‘‘; that is,â€"â€"if t away from it. to the T.

Such a condition points to the use of a radio receiver which tunes too broadly. At a distance of six miles 3 G.G. should be tuned out with ease on any good set; in fact radio sets of stanâ€" dard make are on sale in Timmins, (dealers name on request) upon which 3 G.G. can be found only on one sinâ€" mark on the*dial, and NOWHERE ELSE. ly, should a radio broadcasting staâ€" tion sit down in our midst with a nightly programme, I am afraid that many of the present radio owners will find considerable difficulty in eliminaâ€" the local station at will. L do not believe that the advent of a ‘‘local‘‘ radio broadcasting station will trouble the owners of highly seâ€" lective radio sets very much in the way of ‘‘mushing‘‘ outside proâ€" grammes, but those radio listeners who find trouble in clearing 3 G.G. from their dials (with his extremely low power of 10 watts) can expect that a radio broadcasting station loâ€" cated within 50 miles and equipped with the usual 500 watts of power will be smeared over the major porâ€" ticn of their dials every time that a station is operating. Even under such conditions, if the "‘local‘‘ station furnishes programmes of a high order, judicously selected and varied to avoid monotony, on par with the quality usually received from Pittsburgh, Schenectady, ete., 1 cannot for the life of me see why anyone should grumble, butâ€"as 1 said â€" before.â€"‘‘Distant fields were ever green."‘ A snuffling unintelligible whine that sounds like ‘*something from someâ€" where in Cuba®‘ is far sweeter to the hound‘‘ than the most exâ€" quisite rendering of Beethoven by his business neighbour who shares with him the local burden of municipal affairs.. It was ever thus. On the other hand, if a census was taken there is no doubt that those who at present own radio sets are in the minority, that is, taking the populaâ€" tion of the North as a whole. This condition is somewhat due to the fact that no radio broadcasting station of any consequence is located within 350 milés of Timmins. A perâ€" son must buy a fairly expensive set in order to insure anything like reguâ€" lar reception, and there are often many occasions when even the Rolls Roycee type of radio receiver acts inâ€" differently under adverse and low reâ€" ceptivity conditions o Bachelor Cigars in th Pocket Pack fit th Pocket, and the tast fits popular demand T hey keep fit-~ â€"prope ue 0. y o_ C q 90. _ It is obvious that a comparatively nearby. broadcasting station with a good programme would be a life saver on those evenings when most of all of the outside stations are arriving here very weak and the worse for wear after a hard trip through‘‘mugâ€" gy air.‘‘ Such an installation would also create a large demand for a cheap radio set of one or two tubes. The market for loud speakers would receive quite a boost as well, as the new broadcasting station would easily drive a loud speaker through two or three tubes of the dry cell type from a distance of 50 mi round. It would also make reception throughout the day the general: rule instead of the exception as at present on the best of sets, thus adding a welcome addition to the present ‘‘afâ€" ter dark‘‘ service, and materially inâ€" creasing the usefulness of the radio sets now in ise in the North many of which are foreed into idleness for days at a time due to adverse conâ€" ditions during the summ$#r months. However, should a radio broadcastâ€" inog station locate at a comparatively short distance, a small inexpensive radio set operated by dry cells is all that will be required to bring in daily the latest news and lilting music from a laughing world to thousands of otherwise isolated homes, and from a religious viewpoint a Sunday service would be distinctly helpful and of great spiritual value. Under the present conditions such persons are virtually hbarred from ever owning a radio set necessary for average good reception due to the lack of battery charging facilities, or any source of electric power. I firmly believe that present owners of radio sets, who like to listen for ‘‘distance‘‘ once in a while, will be magnanimous enough to tolerate a little ‘‘interference‘‘ from the local station whose service confers such wonderful benefit on our fellow men who live ""far From the madding crowd."‘ To sum up, I think that providing the programmes are real good, a local or nearâ€"by broadcasting station (asâ€" suming a poliecy of the greatest good to the greatest number) would fill a much needed want here in the North. Should such a station come into exâ€" istence in the near future I would much like to corral the programme director for a few moments before he or she opens for business and offer the following advice :â€" To my mind those who would be most benefitted by such an innovation would be the farmers and settlers, and all those persons who are living remote from the town or cities. Whatever you @o, try and steer clear of the mistakes of nearly every other programme director who has zone before you. â€" When you servey your prospetâ€" tive radio audience don‘t overlook the ‘man in the house."‘" ~â€" Soft pedal a little on the jazz and the loveâ€"lorn tinny tenor. ‘*If you have anything to sell, even it it‘s only good will, for the love of Mike remember the guy who bought the darned radioâ€"who ‘buys everyâ€" thingâ€"the semiâ€"bald goof who sits there in his slippers,â€"just simply aching to hear you announce someâ€" thing of interest to him,â€"in other words,â€"POP. w 94 â€"The people that stuff appeals to are usually not old enough to buy radio sets,â€"or anything else. ‘‘Drop the saxophone for a few minutes now and again and say someâ€" thing fresh to Popâ€"Pop, the money "Cttel â€"the backbone of the world!

This kind of reâ€" markâ€"ofteâ€"times made by the unâ€" thinkingâ€"is being refuted, most obâ€" viously so, by the newest organizaâ€" tion to be established here, and again was given the lie direct in the case of a recent successful formation of a new Football Club which I ‘believe will give eredit not only to clean sport but to the ‘‘Land of Burns."‘! The Editor, Poreupine Advance, Timmins. No one can truthfully gainsay the fact that all the elubs and societiesâ€" praztically _ without _ exceptionâ€"alâ€" ready in operation here have high ideals, prineiples, and objects to w ork for, and to the intelligent and obserâ€" ‘mt resident of Timmins it is also fairly obvious that the good work of the various orfram/,atlons is being carried out. It is clear even to the writer, comparatively a neweomer to this town that the good done by such societies as the Clrildren‘s Aid Socieâ€" ty, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the St. John Amâ€" bulance Brigade, to mention only a few whose work is clearly indicated in their respective titles and I repeat that their excellent work is only limited to their income. Again, who has not heard of the Charity Turkey Stag, that annual amazing affair, a masterpiece of splendid organization, indicating plainly the versatile abiliâ€" ty of one who is called_ ‘‘Lap,""‘ the proceeds of which are directly given to the poor and needy, irrespective of their colour, creed, nationality, or cause of their being in want. And so one would go on almost inâ€" definitely mentioning one club after another and specifing their good worksâ€"whether for the cause of sweet charity or of clean and wholeâ€" some sport, and in each and every case offering a direct refutation of the statement that there are too many clubs, etce., in this particular neighâ€" bourhood I am of opinion that there is <still room for organizations and societies for the ‘best efforts of their members; but that opinion I would qualify to a limited extent in that the present established societies and orâ€" should be accorded greatâ€" er support, both in increased memberâ€" ship and financially, for the ultimate good of the Town of Timmins and of this North Land, in whose great fuâ€" ture I have every confidence. â€" Yours truly, ‘‘Not Too Many.‘‘ Practically All Doing Good Work and Worthy of Support by the Public Further, thereeis the work car on by the K.C., (no need to indi what these initials stand for) for ‘«Underprivileged â€" Child,"‘ ‘*C Spaces‘‘â€"just two instances onl the quiet, unobtrusive, but effecti good work carried on by those occupy the seats of the high mighty in this community.
