Through he Static

We've got a surprise for you to- day-no "crabbing" about the crashes Of static et cetera et cetera today. On the other hand. as far as We are concerned, it must be stated that last nights conditions were pretty satisfactory. all things con sidered. There was but little outside interference, practically all stations detected came in with excellent vol ume and distance was as fair as il has been at any time this spring.
 
 We've often thought that if any uninitiated radio enthusiast who was considering buying set was being governed by the daily opening para graph Of this column he never would take the plunge. He'd surely be dis couraged by the review Of the pre- yious nights conditions with the caustic comments on static. bloopers and other things. However, for those who know, these disturbances are but secondary and while they oft times take the keen edge of enjoy ment from radio reception, they do not by any means make for 6 total loss Of enjoyment
 AS usual, we ate our supper last evening accompanied by quiet strains from WTIC where Moe Blu menthal and his boys were playing classical airs from the Hub restaur- ant. At various times during the evening We returned to WTlC and each time enjoyed what we heard. A. Robbins, a newspaper service repre- sentative, gave an Illuminating talk on how news is flashed 10 the world. w J. Neary told US lots Of interest ing things about Naugatuck, and after hearing hiw we are today con v!nced that NaugatuCk Is the chosen city, just as We were convinced that the chosen city was New Britain. was Meriden, Middletown, Water bury. Bristol and Manchester and Winsted after hearing the loyal sons from those places talk on their own civic nights. Naugatuck night offered an excellent varied program Of in strumental music, songs, duets solos of which "On the Road 10 Manda- lay pleased us immensely,

Well edu- cated. Q master Of English. he at times caused us to blush c bit with the fine flow os language.
 Later on in the evening We tuned lin on WIN and were surprised and, being interested iu boxing, not dis pleased, to find an unaunounced box ing match in progress. WIN was broadcasting the Sid TerrisPctrollc light from Concy Island stadium. The last rounds especially were crowd cd with action and Ferris won the verdict which. from the shouts Of those at the ringside, evidently was a popular one.
 The Happiness Boys al WEAF spread their usual weekly rays Of sunshine with their variety program and a new song, new 10 use, was featured from WRNY. It was Could I? l Certainly Could?"
 The Baltimore station, VEAL, nroadcastiug from Madison park, presented a fine program by the Baltimore Municipal orchestra.
 Jus. two degrees from Baltimore Con the dials) we got Freeport, \. r., and it was good. The program at the time was a specially orchestra and some banjo numbers were eX- ceptionally good,
