 Well, we have the nonsense off our chest so we'll now attempt to be serious with conditions over Inc weekend, The fact that large and awe-inspiring thunder storm was in the oning Saturday evening put con- ditions on the rocks for fair Of course, WTJC was audible and if fl wasn't We should have gently scat tered our radio set 10 the breeze, and If we had thrown it out of the window, something would have been dentod, there's no doubt about that. | But We were able 10 hear Hartford, ! and WIZ and Springfield and static and lots of other things that can't be described here because the de- | scriptive words arc not nice and little boys get their mouths washed | out with soap for using them, and | wed probably get a healthy bounce on the button for using them, so. l Last night was somewhat Of an i'm | provement and it wouldn't have had ! to exert itself one iota to be that, if ! an 1ota means what We think if does and We're not at all sure. There 1 were large, healthy smacks of the ! well known static and there were also other noises. But in the main, conditions were better and it was possible 10 bring in programs moru or less whole,

The concert by the combined musical clubs Of Holy i Cross college proved to be worth while and we stayed for long, long time. We enjoyed the music by the saxophone sextet, "The Rosary" and popular number, "Every- things Going To Be All Fight" be- lrg two of the selections. WIZ acted very much of gentleman and transmission vas excellent. Tho voices of the men in the g!eo clu1 were brought out faithfully and the great volume did not seem to over. tax the microphone.
 The broadcasting Of two dinners simultaneously that is, not quite but almost, was featured by WRNY. New York, to which credit must be given for coming through in spite of great odds, like one of Horatio AL gers heroes or a bottle of catsup. 1t seems that there were two Irishmon no, pardon HIS, we digress. There were NOT two Irishmen, there were two dinners being broadcast from the Biltmore hotel. One of the din ners was being held for Jewish men ln the grand ballroom and the other was for Jewish women and it was held in the main dining room. We'll, the station switched back and forth, picking up the best features from both parties, It was rather difficult. we should imagine, as the timing had to be precise and the operators had to make sure that the fans weren't going to be treated to half : of one speech and then half of an other The work was done very well though.
 We .faintcd seventeen times by actual count when WEAF New York, came through loud enough to be distinguishable. Tn spite of per sistcnt buzz aud the glamour of the static which seemed to be holding q soiree all over the place, the sta ton gallopod in with no little eclat. Cts tough 10 be so well educated. Take q look at those three French words we've used so far) Well, : WEAF, was presenting the program by the Schola Cantorum, that far famed organization of trainer sing CTS, which is considered one of the best of it's kind in the world. We lidn't get close enough to the pro- gram to be pleased by more than he ensemble effects, but we state for publication that the music great. WEAF acted as if il was sorry it had come to the party
