 playing and we enjoyed our weekly trip to that broadcaster. We visit WJAR on Wednesday evenings only, since WTIC is silent on that night. "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful" or "Adeste Fideles," as it Is also known, was offered as a part of the organ recital from WTAM, Cleveland. This program was offered from the Pub lie Auditorium, Cleveland, where the last Republican National convention was held. and this organ is consid- cred one of the best in the country. MT. Perry, the organist, handled the splendid old church melody with all the dignity it deserves. The "Hallelu- iah Chorus of Handel was also well presented. The station came through well.
 A steady stream of code accom- panied WEBH. Chicago, into our set, although the Chicago station didn't give in bit, but maintained d U tiii SNC'iih6' n glee club, the name of which we missed, presented a Christmas pro- gram which included Little Town of Bethlehem" another of the old favorite carols. The club presented the number in good taste and the vocal work was really noteworthy.
 All the bloopers in town and sev- eral others that have come to New Britain to spend Christmas were try ing to bring in KDKA, Pittsburgh. We know, because we stopped there for a few minutes. The Princeton Triangle club was offering a musi- cal comedy, the title of which was "Summer-- Something" probably Some Are Bloopers,' if you'll par don the far-fetched attempt at ironic humor. The presentation was an oriental fantasy, We learned later, if that will help you any. It didn't help us to any great extent, but everyone has different ideas, so we thought we'd pass the information along. No harm done, IS there? But we're glad the bloopers were attract ed to KDKA. like flies to sugar, be- cause it gave US chance at some of the other stations. We're going to invent something that will shock the operator into consciousness, when he starts blooping. It will be great in novation, eh?
 WEAO, Columbus, Ohio, was one of the louder stations and Nevin's Rosary" was offered as a violin solo. That selection is being gradual ly killed by enthusiastic musicians. We hear it about every 10 minutes each evening and, in spite of the fact that it is a favorite, that's too much for any number.
 WICK. Detroit, in a mean frame of mind, gave code lessons. There's plenty of code, that's a fact, so we don't think the lessons are neces- sary. Lessons in operating regenera- tive sets are needed more. Yes, mis- ter, we mean you, sitting in your home reading this as your two tube blooper comb sthe air and sends howl after howl down the throats of loud speakers. Don't take the atti- tude, "Well, he means somebody else; I'm all right" We don't mean somebody else; we mean you! If you are causing your set to squeal. you are depriving someone else of the entertainment due him and which is being denied him by your own selfshness. Give a thought to the other fellow. Don't forget most of the people in your neighborhood have radio sets and they don't make any disturbance because they're non- regenerative. Ten to one, those peo- pie expended far greater sums to have the sets placed in their homes than you did, with your two or three tube set. Is it fair to make trouble for those people? Of course, if you're a wise guy, you'll say, "Sure!" and howl all the more, but If you have any sporting blood in your veins, you II take a nllie extra palms WntH you tune in. It's worth it.
 WGY, Schenectady, came through strong, with lots of code. An opera program was being offered when We tuned in, but we didn't stay very long. WSWS, Chicago. which grew louder as the evening progressed. | presented a clear and well modulat- l cd tone, offering a tenor soloist in a pleasing ballad, When The Sun Goes Down."
 We logged Q new one, VICES, 1 Springfield, III. This station came through fairly well and we heard i Looking At The World Through Rose Colored Glasses" offered by a baritone, with banjo accompaniment. Soon after, an inspired musician of fered Irish Washerwoman" as a harmonica solo.
 That power leak we spoke of, for
