RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
I don't know that any particular
gain Will come from printing this
letter, but, from what 1 have been
able to learn in talking over the
matter of the entire evening being
taken up night after night by the
local broadcasters with others, there
is a strong feeling of resentment
which should be brought to the at
tention of the local station managers,
and general referendum to the fans
would, / feel sure, show a strong
desire for not only a silent night,
but decided shortening of a few
other programs.
. late dance program two or three
nights in a. week should meet the
desires of the dancing contingency
and a shortening of the programs of
the other evenings would enable the
long g-distance fans to get some of the
pleasure out of their sets which they
are entitled to. Not all fans can af-
ford a. neutrodyne and l have not yet
found a wave trap which will enable
me to get through the local stations
particularly WCAP.
As a rule the local programs are
good and when continued up to 10
or 1880 they give the crystal set
owners, as well as tuberS, an evening
of enjoyment which is appreciated
The stations in the East get start
of an hour on the Middlewest stations
and more on the far West broad :
casters. BY shutting down at a
reasonable hour, we, in the East, have
an opportunity to reach out and try
for distant points. 1t may be silly,
but 1t is a fact, as much pleasure
is obtained by catching some station
1000 miles away as usually comes
from listening to an average program
from nearby.
If there was a crying demand for
hour after hour of jazz every night
in the week and such entertainment
was satisfactory to the majority of
fans, there might be some excuse for
the local stations putting on such
programs, but there is no such de-
mand. On the other hand, there is a
demand for a shortening up of the
local programs.

Governor Walker Still Undecided

AS we write this, Governor Walker has as
yet not called the legislature in special session.
Judging from general disposition of the tax
payers of the state to shy away from anything
and everything that would add to the eX-
penses of the state, and thus call for more
taxes, we are inclined to believe that call
would be unwisel and unpopular. The voters
will not sanction large bond issue, for any
purpose, roads, schools or what-not, at this
time-and any other legislation that might be
passed in a special session, can well wait the
regular meeting of the~1927 legislature, SO
far as it appears now. If an error was made
in passing the Confederate script bill, it is not
of sufficient importance to expend the large
sum needed to pay for special session. How
ever this obligation to the veterans should be
met, but adding additional taxes to secure this
amount, is not popular solution. The people
voted for bi-annual sessions by large major
ity chis' editor was opposed to the change), in
the hope of reducing cost of government and
relieving the annual anticipation of hundreds
of useless laws; so let AS abide'by the verdict
and await the session Of 1927.

Hatchery at Lakeland
enSue.

Senator Harris has introduced bill IN the
senate to authorize the establishment OF FISH
Hatchery at Lake Lanier, Lanier County, Ga
The lake has nine thousand acres, ideally
fitted for a hatchery, being shallow, for the
most part, perfectly clear and containing many
everflowing springs. Route II OF the State
Highway SYSTEM passes this body of water
and if is expected that if the bill becomes a
law. that great improvements will follow its
establishment. The town site, formerly known
as Midtown, has been renamed Lakeland oy
an act of the recent legislature and the post
office so named by the postoffice department.
The entire immediate section around the lake
and the city, has all of the attractive features
so in demand in South Florida, and it is not un-
likely that some syndicate will start a great
DEVELOPMENT around this lake.

Rououet from Editor Ricketson

In bis remarks at the opening of the High
way meeting here Tuesday evening, President
W. r. Bowen. among other splendid things
said, reminded his hearers that 1t was the
movement for the building of the Central
Dixie Highway (then the Dixie highway,
that incubated the good roads movement IN
Georgia today" Those whose memory is not
too abbreviated will remember the agitation
for. at that time, passable roads, the delega-
ton that went to Chattanooga, and later meet
ings at Fitzgerald, and then Douglas, and the
meeting called at Macon, of the Dixie High
way Association South, when other sections
conceived the idea pregnated in the minds OF
Mr. Bowen and others along the present Cen
trail Dixie Highway, and the fight that was
made for a designation by the directors. we
won't soon forget the rainy cold day when the
delegations from the eastern and western
routes as they are today met there. The Cen
trail gang" arrived last and the merry scram-
BILE was on. The famous hymn, The Short
Route Highway" and others of equal zest were
sung by the Fitzgerald, Douglas and Waycross
groups-all coined by Jap" Mcdonald, of
Douglas.
It was the foresight of Mr.. Bowen that
brought that meeting about. 1t was he who
fought hard and continuously for deslgna-

happiness and unhappiness. Good deeds
bring happiness, bad deeds brings the other.

YOU obey the laws of nature you are maze
happy with good health And so on 1t goes.

Saw II With Flowers

This is new slogan for cities in
Georgia, in fact, the whole state is
about ready to adopt this eloquent
form of appeal to visitors and tour
lists. Women's organizations lead in
the work of street, road and park
Identification but more faith is being
put by club and by individual boosters
in this kind of community advertis-
ing than ever before. Savannah is
one Georgia city that presents a brill
liant example of this kind of boost
ing. Townsville and Macon have
both set out to be known as the city
of roses" Some towns are specialize
ing on dogwood, and some on crepe
myrtle. Others would have great
deal more of each. Fitzgerald is
making q good start toward a city
beautiful, but while few can do
much of the planting, everyone must
help in the matter of cleanliness that
our efforts shall show in an attrac-
tive way.

The Prophet in His
Own Country

Though there is properly speaking
no national art gallery in the United
States, there is in connection with
the Smithsonian Institute so-called
National Gallery of Arts. The posi-
ton of some portraits in this gallery
is just now a subject of criticism.
Friends of Woodrow Wilson are in
dignant that his picture hangs in an
obscure corner while those of other
world war leaders are more promi-
nently placed. Some of these are the
portraits of Foch, Pershing, Lloyd
George, Clemenceau, and others.
They are also larger and more attrac-
tive. The director of the gallery ex-
plains the seeming slight by the fact
that the foreign countries presented
the portraits of their leaders, while
the Wilson picture was a smaller one
secured by private funds. Perhaps
the outcome will be large portrait
provided by Wilson admirers in the
near future.
