Radio Dial
By Listener.In

Music has been. and probably al.
ways will continue to be, tho chief
support Of radio.
Music is being distributed
throughout the country in guam
titles a hundred times more album
dant than the masters who wrote
1t ever dared to hope FIR.
And everywhere It finds an eager
audience,
Much Of the music Ii excellent,
much of 1t Is mediocre and rather
more than much OF It is pretty bad.
Hand in hand with the broad
cast music, are coming (caM It
propaganda IL you IIke) regular
courses In music appreciation.
On the theory that an inherent
love of music is universal and
that classical" music Is not the
understandable thing that non
students Of music have been led to
believe, many OF the leading broad
casting stations Of the country are
concentrating their efforts on sex.
planning away the bugaboo that
has lowered over the symphony, the
opera and the etude. in the mind Of
the American people.
Chief among the courses in music
appreciation was that broadcast
last spring from WOI2, Newark, by
Doctor. Sigmund Spaeth, who put
the common sense OF music squareiy
up to his hearers.
His talks were for the man In the
street who had no knowledge Of
gharps and flats and who avoided
symphony concerts with earnest
studiousness. but whom Doctor
Spaeth took into his confidence and
explained that there Ii nothing ter
rifying about classical music after
ALL
Other broadcasting stations picked
up the WOR-Spaeth idea and the
business began growing.
Doctor Spaeth is now returning TO
WOR Wednesday night at the open
ing of the new WOR New York
studio, to institute a second series
of concerts with explanations.
Meanwhile other courses in music
| appreciation are being conducted
from WNYC, New York and WIZ,
Springfield. WGY, Schenectady,
also has taken a few filings at the
music.teaching broadcast In the
past.
With the music appreciation
courses have come better programs

The trend of the radio concert is
ever upward to better programs by

Locally there has been no at.

listeners in what it is this classical
music is all ABOUT.
But. in some way. the better music
idea apparently has reached Wash
ington.
The service bands have helped.
Louis Thompson and Paul Bleyden
have helped Peggy Albion has
done her bit. Moe Baer has done
considerable.
And more recently Augustin
Borguno and Irving BOernstein have
instituted concerts OF classic music
that indicate an ever-increasing In.

MISSING VIKING" IS FOUND;
 LONE SAILOR BADLY FROZEN

l CORDOVA, Feb. S.-According to authentic reports received here today the power schooner Viking, missing for over two months with George Jo- hanson the boats cook, on board, has drifted ashore on Sitinak Island, to the south of Kodiak Island and Jo hanson will live, although his feet were frozen so badly that both must be amputated.
 News of the finding of the Viking and her lone passenger was carried to Kodiak by natives from Akhiok village, near Alitak, and the mes- sage was received here by wireless from the Kodiak station.
 According to the advices, two In dian boys found the Viking piled up on the beach on Sitinak Island and reported to the school teacher at An hiok Island that Johanson was alive. A rescue party has gone to bring Johanson to Akhiok and the gaso- llHC DOdl hApCA VIII Dl iuS HlA u Seward or Anchorage for medical treatment.
 The Viking broke loose from her moorings at Kanatak, the Cold Bay port, on the night of December 4, during a storm, and drifted to sea. Search failed to reveal any trace of the vessel and she was given up for lost. Johanson, who was aboard the vessel on the night she broke away from her anchorage, was the only man on the Viking, the captain and other members of the crew being in Kanatak.
 The point where the Viking is re- ported to have been found is just 100 miles south of Kanatak, where the vessel broke loose from her moorings but it is probable that the vessel drifted far to sea in the two months since she was reported missing.

CHURCHMAN JOINS SCOUTING

Rectors no less than laymen are finding in the scout oath and law and in the organizations platform inter- esting effort and the satisfaction of achievement. Together with states men, scholars and business men, men of the church join on" and perform the self-disciplining duties of scout dom.
 At an impressive ceremony at Eliza beth, N. J., Rev. William Reid Cross of Trinity church recently received the rank of tenderfoot scout and be- came member of Troop No. s. which is sponsored by this church. At the sound of bugle call the candi- date and members of Troop s entered. prayer followed. Then spoke the senior patrol leader, saying: Like the knights of old who knelt in the unseen presence of the master scout, and vowed tidelity to the ideals for which knighthood stood, this candi date is ready to VOW fidelity to scout ing and the ideals for which it stands" The patrol leader then re- moved the neckerchief covering the troop neckerchief Is fgurative blind fold, keeping from your eyes and thoughts anything unworthy of true scout. It bears the number 'eilht.' the designation of this troop. Character. the duties of citizenship anu sely.,e t-tr r1.aA ha ,,f this eight The knot is a symbol of the service which every scout renders unasked and with no hope of reward except the privilege of service
 An assistant patrol leader then re- moved the cord which bound the hands of the candidate, saying: "As unfasten the knot that ties your hands. so does scouting loose the knots that have held in bonds your eyes, ears, spirit and mind You are now free to enjoy the great out-of- doors. The woods are yours, the streams, the birds. You are free to enjoy the open, to practice woodcraft that the pioneer scout knew of old, free to hear the songs of the birds and learn their habits; free to read the signs of the trail; free from the bonds of so-called civilization; free to follow the life of the open road and the fre-lit camp. Such Is the life of the scout"
 The candidate rector then made the promises of the scout oath and law, and received an oyDlanation of tho scout grip, motto and slogan.
 Twelve lighted candles, symbolic of the twelve points of the scout law, were then extinguished, as the scout. master said: 'The symbol lights are no longer needed as the light of the law of scouting is in the heart of every scout"

A "GLoRIFlED" GOOD TURN

The vision of every boy scout-to aid in saving human lives-was full filled for Logan, Utah, lads on the recent fateful occasion when flood swept down the Rocky Mountain Can yon engulfing the little town of Will lard. The once quiet spot, suddenly became scene of wild confusion and wrecked hopes, sent forth an anguished call for help, and to the glory of Scout preparedness" within two hours after the call had been sent, 35 boy scouts from Logan, equipped with food and bedding, were on their way to Willard, the first group to answer its cry of distress.
 The scouts found turmoil and despair in the trail of the cloudburst's torrent. Property had been destroyed |; people made homeless; lives lost. The scouts worked for three days on the scene of the disaster, helping keep the place in sanitary condition, so that disease might be prevented. They drained stagnant pools, cleared away uCDi io oi NdilouS SOi tSb ioedtcu dSuu animals and had them removed, dug sediment from the rooms of houses which had been left standing, and performed many other duties.
 "The Scouts of the Cache Valley (Utah) Council of the Boy Scouts of America" said an observer of the work, have to their credit the doing of many good turns but this Is one of their very greatest"
