AIMED AT
 BOY BOOTBLACkS
Store Owners Would Have
 Ordinance Curbing Them

Claiming that the competition they have been subjected to in the past two months was unfair, that the boys who shine shoes on the street have not the expenses that the store owners have, several shoe shine parlors throughout the Main street section of the city, have band ed together and are now circulating a petition requesting the common council to bring about a change. This action is the result of the ac- tivity of a large number of boot blacks who station themselves in the most important business sections Of the city and solicit trade which would probably go to the store own
 CTS. Many of the youthful mer- chants have been persistent in their
 efforts to gain trade and have made
 themselves a source of annoyance to passers-by.
 Attempts at bringing about a stop to this shoe shine market will be
 met with endorsement by many of the citizens of the city who have been the victims of bootblacks, 1t IS
 thought. The petition follows: eve, the undersigned, taxpayers of the city of New Britain do here by petition your honorable body to create an ordinance or determine upon, some action toward curbing
 street bootblacks," whose compe- tition is injuring our business and
 is unfair since the "bootblacks" on
 the street are not obliged to pay the expenses the shoe shine parlors
 have to pay and are In that way able to offer their services at smaller figure"

Moon," while Dok's gang came through with Song Of The Volga Boatman," among others.
 Harold Leonard's orchestra Hven- ed up matters as the opening fea- ture on WJZ's evening program, letting us in on For My Sweet heart" Tn a Little Garden" and "Oh, If I Only Had You" The sta ton surprised us by coming through without ripple, beating out the in reference caused by several uniden- tifed local somethingsorother. IL was altogether a popular eve ming and we didn't hit into a serious program throughout the night, with the exception of trial at the New York Philharmonic orchestra through WIZ, New York. WIZ was out Of the question for us later in the evening, due to the fact that some sort of local disturbance was centered right at that point, for some unknown reason. Conditions generally were pretty fair early, but they got quite rough and at mid night there was an almost continu- ous run Of static. Volume was noth- | ing to rave about, either.
 From WBZ, Springfield, came mu- sic by the Hotel Westminster Roof Garden orchestra, and the band proved to be quite poppy. We heard Where Did You Get Those Eyes?" Here In My Arms" Women Ah!" and Here Comes Emeline," and several others.
 WPG, Atlantic City, with its usual wealth of volume, presented Welchs Minstrels, a regular feature at the station. It was the first time we had heard the organization, and we enjoyed the performance great deal. It moved along rapidly and there was always something doing. You Can't Fool an Old Horse Fly and a parody on "Tlie Old Oaken Bucket" were sung by the end men, who were live fellows, keeping up a steady line Of conversation.
 |
 These endmen had some snappy Jokes and we laughed heartily at some of the cracks pulled off at the expense of the interlocutor. We finally left when some the regnera- tives in our neighborhood were taken with severe cases of mysteries, If nothing happens we'll listen to that show again this week.
 We pole vaulted over to WTAM, 1 Cleveland, which was doing it's best to make good appearance. There was some static, but the station came in fairly loud and we were able to hear all We wanted of the program. Bobby Caldwell, 11-year- old banjoist. played and sang What Can I Say, Dear, After l Say I'm Sorry" and Bye, Bye Blackbird, and he was clever, too. After that Ev Jones' Gang played You Need Someone to Love"
 And that's all we did on Saturday night. We attempted to do some heavy listening about midnight, but the fates and a battery charger were against us and we tired quickly of the steady ''rat-tat-tat.' caused ey this apparatus.
 That's all for today, thanks!

A two piano recital was also fea- tured. Kitten on the Keys" taking it's place among the numbers played. Castles in the Air" and No More Worrying" and thousands of others were also played, some of them hav- ing pretty vocal chorus by several members of the band. There was a lot of crazy stuff, which we couldn't see, Of course, but which brought mirth from the audience. Altogether, 1t was the best program we have heard in a long time and we regret that we can't set our feelings on paper as we should like to. But when one hears the most famous band in the world performing at its best. one is likely to be rather up- set.

Through fhe Static

Conditions over the weekend were fair. We will speak Of Satur- day night later. Last night was ex- cellent, with little static and good volume. There was little of interest on the air, however, and We were away from the set the greater part of the evening. A battery charger took the center Of the stage late Saturday evening and ditto last night.
 Yesterday morning we heard the Children's program from WIZ, New York, and we might say that we are almost as interested in it each Sum- day as are the little tots. Norman Brokenshire officiates and he acts just like a regular daddy" to the whole gang. He is jolly and good natured and he takes a genuine in- terest in the activities of the chill dren. He Is manly about 1t, too. That is, he doesn't act like an old lady when he is talking to the children. Some of them act that way and 1t is decidedly terrible. Billy Callahan, a youngster, sang Let The End of The World Come Tomorrow" in ex- cellent voice, and then Uncle" Nor man read the comic sheets. His de- scriptions were vivid, and if there are any children who fail to look forward to this program each Sun day morning those children need ex- animation. There's something the matter with them.
 
 But the big event of the day, and the big event of the week, came from WNYC. New York, in the aft ernoon. It was a concert by Paul Whiteman and his original band of 35 pieces, direct from the Mall, Central Park, his first concert in the United States after his return from a triumphant tour of Europe. We tuned in on it without knowing what was going on, since we had not read the programs. Fortunately we turned to the station just as the announcer was making the opening remarks.
 The station came through pretty fair for daylight, but we wish it had been stronger. Code interfered con- siderably at times and the micro- phone had a tendency to blast at times when the orchestra was going full force. The orchestra played a variety of numbers, tracing dance music from the old time jazz period right down to the present time. Of course, Rhapsody in Blue" was presented and we have yet to hear anything to approach 1t for color. A sort of medley of old numbers was played. with solos by various instru- ments in the band ""Valencia" was one of the latest selections and we have never heard it played as White man played it. His rendition was partly in dance time and partly in concert time, as was the entire con- cert. Valencia" was elevated al- most to grand opera style by Paul's treatment of it.
