| A new cause for radio disturbances
has been uncovered by Lewiston ra-
dio dealer. Sunday evening while re-
pairing a set in a home where there
was an automatic oil burner, Dwight
| Smith, manager Of the Androscoggin
Radio Co.. noticed the disturbance
that was caused by the automatic
starting of the burner. 1t was similar
+, in every respect to a disturbance
which Mr.. Smith has been endeavoring
to run down the past year. In dis
i II fAf I've
Smith stated that last year when we
were just bothered slightly with this
disturbance, there wasn't so many au-
tomato oil burners. On account of the
coal shortage, ETC., there has been q
| decided increase in the use of oil burn
ers which accounts fora corresponding
increase in disturbances"
