WENT: To DEATH
To SAVE BOYS
By Fontaine Fox

TORONTO, July 22.-shea Butcher
today enters the ranks iof those
heroes who have given their lives
for others.
Butcher, with IL youths camping
at Balsam Lake, near Peterboro,
was in a war canoe that captized
In the middle Of the lake during
a squat.
All chung to the canoe, but it
gradually became apparent that the
canoe would not support all Of the
boys.
"Take off your shoes and heavy
clothing" said Butcher to the boys,
and then he prayed: ooh, God,
save these lads and bring them
safely to shore"
With the words OF his prayer still
on his lips, Butcher said he could
be of no further help and his weight
was probably making it more diff
cult for the other boys to stay on
the overturned canoe, so he showed
away, though he could not SWIM,
and vanished.
Only four of the Is boys had
strength to hold on to the canoe
until rescued.

RADIO MERCER
| IN D. c. SEEN

Radio fans here are specializing
today as to what effect the pur-
chase OF station WEAF. New York,
BY the Radio Corporation Of
America, win have on the local
broadcasting situation.
The purchase Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Conn
pany's mother station, WEAF, by
the Radio Corporation, was an
bounced In New York last night.
By the telephone company, which
announced at the same time that
Il is retiring from broadcasttng.
washington representatives OF the
two companies were reticent in
discussing the local situation today.
But evidently knew more than they
we're willing to make public.
"Station WCAP VIII continue to
operate the same as it has hereto
FORE" Paul Gascoigne, manager OF
not involved in the consolidation.
=. p. Guthrie, Washington rep
resentative es the Radio Corpora
uon Of America, was less definite.
''If WCAP closes down we win
take over their wave length ana
broadcast every night" he said,
Sbut I do not know what their
plans are, or how the merger win
affect the local situation"
The New York announcement
Tails to clarity the local situation.
Ne mention is made of WCAP.
IL is believed that the purchase
marks a consolidation of the two
biggest broadcasting systems Of the
country under one company, to be
known as the Broadcasting Com
pany OF America, which will broad
kast national programs through a
big chain Of stations. from coast TO
coast.
The Broadcasting Company OF
America Is actually a holding COM
bany for the interests OF both COM
banies concerned.
The wired broadcasting system Of
The American Telephone and TeIe-
graph Company will undoubtedly be
used by the new company 70 con-
nect its stations.
Whether the new company will
broadcast on commercial basis.
as WEAF has been doing, or on a
Tree system, such as WIZ. Of the
Radio Corporation, has been operat-
ing, is another matter for con-
lecture.
