Lake Alfred

The people Of Lake Alfred are al
ready enjoying raido communication
with the outside world A RADIO set
has been installed By r.. Adams and
those who know DR.. arr! Mrs. Adams
know that it Is 10? the pleasure of
all the people and not for themselves
alone. The set is attuned to the
great sending stations at Detroit,
Pittsburg, Newark Governors Island,
Springfield, Atlanta and Chicago.
Programs are distributed by these
stations several days in advance so
that any person having a receiving !
set may know what can be had at |
any of these stations at any hour o:
any day.
The instrument is equipped with in
dividual receivers like a telephone so
that meme but the person using it
may hear if desired, but is also con /
nected with the amplifer of a phono-
graph so that room full of people |
may get the benefit of it.
Market reorts and weather reports .
are broadcasted daily. Base ball /
scores and other sporting events all (
over the United States may be heard /
from six to seven p. m. every day.
Important news items too late for
afternoon papers are flashed at the
same time.
Concerts, grand opera, lectures by
world famous artists are being given
at some place in the country every
day and all are just as clear as the
hearer might be at the saem theater
as the performers in New York or
Chicago.
The tired business man who can
not possibly go to church on Sunday |
morning may just turn over and lis
ten to his favorite Sunday service
and sermons by the most noted di-
vines in the world.
Already several of our citizens are
negotiating for sets and it is likely 1
that one of the first that can be II
had will be installed in the Womans
Club, so convenient that no inhab:
tants of the city may be denied its
pleasure.
DR.. Adams is entitled to much Gre
dit for the initiative but when we
have grown to expect that of the Doc
tor and his good wife when it comes
to providing pleasure for their own
friends.
