Through fife Static

Conditions last night were rather queer. Take for instance the fact that most of the New York stations came in either very poorly or not at all. While WSB, Atlanta, WMBF, Miami Beach, and WLS, Chicago. boomed in with all the power Of subdued Springfield or Hartford. Fading was extensive, in spite of the fact that the air was crisp, and there were sharp splashcs of unwelcome static throughout the evening.
 
 "Meriden Night" at WTIC was the big thing. Beginning at S;30 o'clock and lasting until midnight. the coun- try was flooded with melody. One thing was, there was too much mel ody. If anything, Meriden possesses too much talent of the better sort. There wasn't enough Of the popular stuff and unless a person was in- tensely interested in the Silver City, as many were, there was not much to hold him after he had heard sev- eral selections of 8 classical nature. Of course, Lew Howard, with his monologue and a song, helped things somewhat as did q musical aggN- gation of some kind which played popular music for a short period. The program was well presented but was just a bit too high toned
 Attorney Cornelius J. Danaher, who spoke on "Meriden," has never been more fowery in his life and that's saying something, as those who have heard him pleading be- fore the bar of justice can prove. In fact, several Meridenites who toll right here in this office say that he | put over some stuff that actually made them like Meriden for no req son al all. But the Chamber of Com merce of that town deserves lot of credit. There was excellent talent and everything was well done. But, as we said before, there was not enough of the lighter side of life. Fiddlin' John Carson, one Of the champions of the country put on a program from WISE, Atlanta, offer ing wide variety Of old time mum 1 bers. "The Little Colonel" Lambdon Kay, otficiated at the microphone and added to the affair by describ- ing everything in his inimitabe southern drawl. The station came 1 through louder than we have heard it in month.
 We were hampered last evening.
