The Kennebec Journals Interna-
ton Radio Atlas is ready for you. It
is secured for your convenience SO
that. you will have the best lists,
best maps, and best facilities for un-
derstandiDg what you are receiving.
where from, how far, what wave
length, kilocycles and all the other
data you need to get the most out
of your set.
The atlas comprises 16 pages of
just the kind of maps and list you
need-later than in any call book
or other publication.
The Canadian and United States
lists include not only telephone sta
lions, but commercial stations as
well, so should you happen to pick
up call outside of the broadcast
ing list, you will not be puzzled to
know the source. These lists are so
arranged by liberal spacing that you
can log every one of the 800 stations
shown therein and also that you may
from time to time change wave
lengths or ownership of stations, as
you receive news in these columns of
such changes. In other words, you
can start in now and by a little at
tention to radio news keep the atlas
right up to date and have a late
list at all times. A little attention
to this will keep your list later than
any other method would provide.

Amateur Radio Carries
City's Holiday Greetings

Halifax, N. S., Canada, January s.
A large part of the population of this
community was enabled during the
recent Christmas holidays to send the
seasons greetings to friends in all
parts of the world, through the me-
dunn of local member stations of the
American Radio Relay League.
One of the large theaters in this
city made provisions for receiving
| messages from all of it's patrons
throughout the week preceding Christ
mas. Free service was given on all of
these messages by amateur radio sta
tons in Halifax and vicinity. These
stations through their membership in
the American Radio Relay League and
connection with radio amateurs the
world over, were enabled to transmit
all of the greetings to fellow anna
tours with stations near the people to
whom these messages were addressed.
An interesting phase of this effort
was the understanding of number of
broadcast listeners, that it would be
necessary for the recipients Of mes
sages to have receiving sets within
their own homes. League members in
charge of the work cleared up this
misunderstanding by pointing out that
amateur message work was Geographic
and was carried on wave-length. that
could not be received on the average
broadcast receiving set.
AS indicative of the type of service
that amateur radio may furnish in
such an instance local amateurs cited
the list of countries in which amateur
stations are now working internation-
ally; that is, outside the limits of their
own countries. The list. which resem-
bles the index of the atlas, is as fol-
lows: Australia, Argentina, Alaska, AL
geria, Belgium, Bermuda. Brazil. b.
livia, Canada. Chile, Canal Zone. Costa
RIGA. Columbia, China, Cuba, Ccecho-
Slovakia, Denmark. Dominican Repub-
lie. England, Egypt, France. Finland,
French Indo-China, Germany, Green
land, Holland. Hawaii. Italy, India,
Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico,
Morocco, Mesopotamia, Madeira, New
Zealand, Norway. Newfoundland. Por-
tugal, Porto Rico, Philippines, Spain.
