All Canada will soon (arm the radio audience for the Canadian General Electric Company's weekly broadcast this year, when the General Electric Vagabonds go on the air over a national chain of 18 stations. The new C.G.E. radio hour, which will be heard for the first time on September 8 over sta- tions which extend from Halifax to Vancouver. is a pretested programmc and is presented by a full orchestra with novelty features. and introducinr from time to time many well-known and talented guest artists. Sponsorship of the chain broadcast scheme by Canadian General Electric Company and its Canadian dealers re- sults from the outstanding success of the broadcasts of other years. which were confined to Toronto stations alone. Now. with the larger hook-up, even finer programmes have been arranged and no expense has been spared. in the acquirement of talent and in the presentation of ,varied entertainment. to make the new C.G.E. coast-to-coast broadcast something unique in Can- adian radio. ' The. General Electric Vagabonds will‘ be on the air each successive Tuesday evening and they will comprise an “all star” cast. Each programme will be built up from popular dance numbers. and many well-known melodies by the orchestra, which is under the direction of Ernest Dainty. The Vagabond male chorus will be heard regularly in many stirring songs and a quartette and solo- ists will contribute further to the vocal end of the entertainment. Piano duets and noveltie by the Vagabond musi- cians will combined with numerous other sparkling. entertaining presenta- tions. The new C.G.E. radio hour has a? valued background of research that en- sures its quality. Monzhsâ€"even years of intensive study of broadcasting and concert entertainment have gone into the planning of this All-Canada pro- gramme. For several years. Canadian General Electric has been experiment- ing wizh broadcast advertising over Toronto stations. Steadily, persistent- ly, the company has carried on this study of thettechnique of radio broad- cast. Men have been trained in pro- gramme building, in continuity-writing, in the selection and engagement of musicians and singers, in “Cutting” and “Timing,” in orchestral deve10pment, in studio balance and acoustics, and in ; all the endless details which enter into E the business of presenting aprogramme lover the air. By means of questionnaires sent out after two special broadcasts had been given in the early months of 1931, a basis was formed for deciding the na- ture of the various types of musical entertainment that would meet with the most generous approval. The com- ments of listeners revealed that 91 per cent. termed the programmes “very good” or “excellent” and thus the ex- act type of entertainment for the fall network was definitely decided upon. When the Canadian General Electric Company goes on the air on September 8, it will present a pre-tested broadcast. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 308 There have been several recent ar- ticles in The Advance in regard to the fight between the ‘ railways and the buses and trucks in connection with public service. Some of the railways ask that the buses be taxed off the roads to save the railways. The Ad- vance does not believe that any such plan is the right one to save the rail- waysâ€"to say nothing about the public. The railways can compete against the trucks and buses by superior service. That looks like the ideal way to put the so-called unfair competition out 0: business. It may be that buses and trucks are not taxed enough for the benefits they enjoy, but that is a separ- ate question. Even on that the buses and trucks have a side of their own to present. The O:tawa Journal summar- izes the situation in the following edi- torialzâ€" Suggestions have been made. in Parliament and out of it, that some~ thing must be done to protect Canadian railways from the competition of mo- tor buses and trucks. For instance. Hon. Dr. Manion. Minister of Railways. said in the House that it was unfair to the transcontinental systems that they should have to meet. the competition “of motor bus and motor truck lines running on public highways that have been built partly out of the taxes of the railways themselves.” He went on. to say that “these bus and truck lines come under no regulation." The other side of the story is told in an editorial in Bus and Truck Trans- port in Canada. a trade magazine. which declares that “the bus and trans- port business is one that cannot be beaten by the railways in the short haul." It continues: -“In saving of time, convenience and facility of operation, the shipment of freight by motor vehicle over reason- able distances excells any other me- thod. This leads immediately to the argument that, instead of complaining about the competition from road trans- ‘ port companies. the railroads should} fight fire with fireâ€"and turn to the use of automobile fleets in comprehensive manner themselves. There are no dif- ficulties or obstacles in the way of this move on the part of the railway com- panies. The network of highways is there, touching every city and town now served by the rails with a few ex- ceptions; no government, federal or provincial, is going to refuse licenses to either the Canadian National or Can- adian Pacific railways fml any number of buses or trucks of legal size. Instead of squawking about the cold water, the railroads should jump into the pool and find out how enjoyable the swimming is. By entering the commercial vehicle field on a comprehensive scale, the rail- ways would enjoy the transport rights and privileges. about which they are now complaining.” ’ompflmon 01' Trucks “1“ 3‘3“ C3“ October 1. they realized that they were Not 50 Frontal!

Lack of food and forc- lcles in The Advance in regard to the ed marches had weakened them con- lght between the railways and the siderably. Here are some entries from uses and trucks in connectionuwith‘melr journal: Then en the question of regulation and taxes the magazine has this to say: “There is ample proof that bus and truck operations pay as much in the way of taxes as anybody else. Bus lines in Ontario are compelled to carry public liability insurance equal to $50.- 000 for any one accident, and to the amount of $10,000 on each passenger. The gasoline tax is five cents per gallon and this levy amounts to a pretty sum in the course of a year. There is a seat tax of one-twentieth of a cent per seat for each mile. which represents one cent per mile for a 20-passenger coach whether it is filled or empty. The On- tario bus marker fee represents ap- proximately $100 per year and if the coach travels to Montreal or other points in Quebec, an additional annual license fee of $200 is required by the Quebec Government. If going to Mon- treal, a toll charge of 60 cents for the crossing of each of two bridges is re- quired by the Quebec Government. Every time a new bus chassis is import- ed. the Federal Government steps in with duty and excise taxes of some- thing like $3,500. There are various local franchise, terminal and real estate taxes, corporation and business assess- ments that also enter the picture. It is quite apparent that the bus and transport companies pay well for their privileges." ' The truck and bus people onv10u51y are firmly convinced they have an ef- fective case against further regulation. They feel they are beating the railways in a sphere which is open to everybody, and undoubtedly they will have a good deal more to say on the subject if and when Parliament gets down to definite action to‘save the railroads from what the latter consider unfair competition in the short-haul business. The following is from the daily column “Do You Know?" by Fred Wll- flaws in The Toronto Mail and Em- plre:â€"- DO YOU KNOW that Most Rev. Isaac Stringer, the new Archbishop o! Rupert’s Land, who is to be installed to-day at Winnipeg, is best known in England as “The bishop what ate his boots?” We, in this country. know, and love, His Grace for himself and his remark- able record as a priest and prelate. who now comes rightly to the headship of that vast country comprising the arch- diocese of Rupert's Land; but since the accounts in the English press to- morrow will most probably revive the “Canadianly characterisic" designation in which the boots figure it may no; beoutofplacetotellthestoryasfiis YOU KNOW'â€"“THE BISHOP WHO ATE HIS OWN BOOTS?” journal.

His Grace brings to his new respon- sibilities the strong, simple faith of the outdoor man, faith which, sorely tested and never failing in the past, is now abundant for his problems of to-day. to-morrow an dthe day after. Huge Sea-Turtle lS Reported 1n North Mystery of So-Called Sea Serpent Al leged to Have Frightened Fire Rangers Near Chapleau, Ont. Is the Sault the Voice of the North. Sault Ste. Marie remains supreme in the North for imagination and the dog- goned thing seems contagious. Sud- bury recently fraternized with the Sault where the wolves carry off foundling youngsters that are left on doorstepus and raise them up to found Roman cities in the wilds of Algoma. Sud- bury’s connection with the Sault was followed almost immediately 'by a big bear parading the main streets of Sud- bury. Chapleau met the Sault at the North Bay “conference,” but Chapleau talked back to the Sault on the hy- steric occasion, and so the best that Chapleau has received to date has been I a sea serpent that turns out to be a turtle. Oh, yeah, and by the way. North Bay got a skunk out of it, the animal applying for admission to the district'jail Just after North Bay had‘ decided to send a delegate to the Sault’s general council of all the North, which ‘ is about as imaginary an animal as any of them. The skunk was refused ad- mission to the jail, so, perhaps, the Sault will refuse to send any of its animals to North Bay after this” But, to return 'to Chapleau! Reports now‘ come from Chapleau that there was a sea serpent near that town once on a time, and that it struck terror into the hearts of the fire rangers of the dis- trict. Unless they have a softer kind of fire-ranger around Sudbury than in this area it would take more than a sea serpent to frighten them. Even a dragon, spouting fire from every nostril, and with as many noses as the Sault has fiddles to its how. would not alarm a ranger here. He would simply out the fire in the gon and then start in to investigate t innards of the beast itself to find out who started the fire and if they had a permit. If any sea serpents come up this way, there will be trouble and it will not be the fire rangers who will be frightened. The fire rangers here were not even alarm- ed at the mud turtle that made its way by water and by portage from the banks of the Bonnechere at Renfrew to the banks of the Mattagami at Timmins. But to get back to Chapleau, which has no road to the outside world, and so is hard to come at, it may be said that a despazch last week from Chap- leau said that the sea serpent which struck terror into a party of fire rang- ers in that district a few years ago, has now turned out to have been a sea- turtle of monster proportions and of great age, possibly 300 years old. That is the Sault’s gift to recalcitrant Chapâ€" leauâ€"a turtle three hundred years old. The despatches state that the special game committee sent out by the On- tario Government, and including the Sault in its itinerary secured the in- formation about the sea serpent, orl mud turtle, as the case may be, while1 on a motor trip into the wilds sixteen miles east of Chapleau, which seems to be a likely place to secure information. It is further stated with as straight a face as a press despatch can maintain, that their information was Tom God- frey. who told of how his men were frightened by this monster which rose out of the water resembled a huge anake. When it swims, the commotion 'in the water is like that made by a motorboat, and its tracks seen on the shore are like those of a tractor. The Indians have known of the presence of this turtle {or many years and one In- dian namedNemegos, aged 95 years, stated that he first saw it 50 years ago. He and the Indians have struck the quadruped with an axe without pene- trating its shell. And? the despatch concludes with these historic wordszâ€"“There are mud turtles in these waters. but there is a theory that this is a genuine sea-turtle which has either strayed up from the ocean through the Great Lakes, or may Oc be a. surviving denizen of pre-hmwflc seas.“ There may be are rangers who can not. tell a 300-year-old turtle from a ten-tailed sea serpent. but The Advance doubts lt. It may all be a mistake. Perhaps lt was not a mud turtle. nor a sea serpent. It may have been two other fellows holding a conference for all Northern Ontario at Sault Ste. Marie. Victoria Daily Times:â€"â€"Few men have ever lived who affected the lives of the rest of mankind as profoundly as Thomas A. Edison. The famous oid inventor, ill with what may be his final illness, will leave the world a vastly dlflcrent place from the world he enter- ed eighty-five years ago. Carlyle‘s re- mark that the history of the world is simply the story of the lives of the world’s greatest men seems peculiarly apt in Edison‘s case. Every inhabi- tant of. a civilized nation lives under conditions that are utterly unlike what they would have been if Edison had never lived; and the changes the man caused are permanent things that will affect the lives of people a thousand years from now as profoundly as to- day fl time you re hungry, enjoy Kelloggs Corn Flakes and milk or cream.
