RADIO IS AID TO DISASTER.
STRICKEN COMMUNITIES IN
RECENT CATASTROPHES

The recent Florida, Cuba, and
Isles of Pines disasters are typical
examples of how natures catastrop-
hes can cut off complete sections of
the country from all means of out
side communication.
The Florida hurricane tore down
telephone and telegraph lines. Rail-
road service was suspended. Even
aeroplane scouts could not reach
the devastated area because Of the
treacherous winds.
The japanese earthquake was an
other example of the cutting off of
all ordinary means of communication.
The cable lines were severed and
Geographic communication was sus-
pended for several days.
1t is in grave crisis such as these
that radio plays one of it's most i'm
portant roles-that of s. ing lives.
No wires are needed to guide the
radio messages. Hurricane winds or
tidal waves do not interfere with
them. When all other hopes are ex-
hausted radio steps in and relays the
call for help.
1t is in just such times as these
that help is needed in a hurry, too.
Thousands of people are made
homeless in a few hours. restaurants
and stores are destroyed, and there
is danger of starvation from food
shortage. Think what would have
been the situation at the time of the
japanese earthquake if outside ma
tions had been forced to wait for
messages brought to them by ships
for news of the disaster. Instead of
this, however, the radio call for aid
reached the far corners of the world
while the earthquake was still in
progress, and relief expeditions were
organized even before the final trem-
or of the quake had been felt.
We have long realized the life
protecting value of radio sets on
ships at sea- 1t has required these
two recent disasters to show that
radio is a guardian of life on land
as well, however. No doubt those
who have lived through these two
catastrophies would favor the con-
struction of radio stations In every
large city of the world.

Penobscot County
Proves Dark Horse in
Farm Bureau Contest

Penobscot County Farm Bureau
running as a dark horse in the race
topped the list and won the big sill
yer shield offered to the County
Farm Bureau making the greatest
score in the 1927 membership cam
paign contest. Very few persons,
other than those well informed con-
corning the situation including one
or two of the officials of the Maine
State Federation of Farm Bureaus
which offered the prizes. realized
that Penobscot County would stand
so well at the close of the contest.
Washington County Farm Bureau
which won first prize last year stood
second this year carrying of $50 in
prize money, and the Hancock Coun-
ty Farm Bureau which was tied last
year with Kennebec for third place
wins third place this year with I'M
disputed claim and carries of the
$40 prize.
The contest was a most exception
al one in that five of the counties
this year made higher scores than
the winning county last year. Fol-
lowing is the standing: Penobscot
County. $50 points; Washington
County, $50 points: Hancock Coun-
ty. Gas; kennebec, 500; and Piscata-
quis County. 545. This is the first
year that Kennebec County has not
been one of the three winners in the
three contests which have been con-
Quoted by the State Federation; and
Piscataquis County which was last
years second prize winner and was
making strong bid this year barely
missed placing again n 1i926.
The purpose of the contest, which
was sponsored by the Maine State
Farm Bureau Federation, was to en-
courage the solicitation for members
early in the fall and to stimulate
team work on the part of the many
community committees. In order TO
have a score stand as official all the
membership cards and membership
fees must have been paid and in the
county office at the close of the day
of the annual meeting in each coun-
ty. Most Of the scores were secured
on the basis of renewal of member
ship. Although the membership con-
test is over most of the counties will
secure a considerable number more
members within the next few months
