! hll lllN 'N ANN t Il'libNi VI 1 Uncle Sam's Secret Service,
 Back to earth, young fellow, mo lad, While it was possible 10 bring ! in stations and programs last eve ! ming there was no pleasure in listen ing 10 them because of inc heavy crashes. IL was like trying 10 listen to a concert at the Hartford steam Boiler Co. Not that we ever have, or ever want to, The comparison is given, so you can try it if you want ito, providing you can get someone to give concert there. You know. folks no one likes 10 listen to the radio when tho static is pounding in like it was last night. People can say, "Oh, Tbrought in stuff, just the smmc," but if they did, they didn't get any enjoyment out of it. We could have gone all over the conn- try too, because there seemed to be plenty of volume underneath the layer of noise, but what was the use? l. would have been just tax on the nerves, etc. etc.
 We listened 10 WTlC, broadcast ing from the state armory, and heard Worthy Hills and His Orchestra play l"You Have Nc and l Have You" "Thcn m Be Happy" and sleepy i Time Gal" A group of entertainers, vocal and instrumental, helped 10 pass away tho time during the eve ming. h,t much of the effectiveness of the program was lost, due 10 the fact that the station was broadcast ing from the booth at the armory and that is not especially suited for |broadcasting purposes. Celia Drury, female baritone, rendered variety of numbers, popular and classical and the program, as q whole, was excellent. There was variety and it was interesting.
 depth of tone not usually attain cd by WBH, Springfield, was noticed
 when the Springfield Orchestra En- scmble broadcast from the Capitol lDtuleG, lHdl IlNN' ll' oSir"'i"''S "
 along classical lines and we didn't
 pay much attention 10 them, due 10 the fact that our interest was cen- tered on the clarity and color oi
 the transmission. Springfield has
 never done any better and II was
 really q pleasure to listen 10 tlndiS- Itorted music.
 WPG, Atlantic City, in the midst iof the Battle of Somewhere, put out
 some excellent dance music. hot
 saxophone proving attractive to us.
 WBBM, Chicago, faded in and out shortly after g o'clock, with a popl- lar program, of which we heard about one eighth. There was dance music and the orchestra which play ed it was pretty fair, and then we heard two young fellows singing I"Sweet Child" We heard other things, too, but they didn't come from the station. The orchestra play ed Moon Dear.'
 There was plenty of pep at WMCA New York, both in transmission and
 lin the makeup of the program.

2 Children from Death

Revere, Feb. 27-Friends Of Doran-
di Morecalchi, II, of 1855 Revere

praise of him tonight. Dorandi him.
self was pretty chilly. Two children,
one ~ and the other IL, are alive.
The children, Josephine and Joseph
Dziewgic of 46 Walnut St, Chelsea,
are alive because Dorandi proved
death this afternoon.
He was sitting in the window OF
his home looking out over Snake
River. He saw the children skating
around on the ice. He feared for their
safety. and was about to go out and
warn them off the ice when 1t gave
way and they disappeared under the
water, which at the point is about III
feet deep.
Dorandi ran to the river and jump
ed into the icy water. He swan to
the screaming, frightened children
and brought them to shore where
others, attracted by the excitement,
took them from him.
He then slipped back into the wa
ter, exhausted. Luckily others caught
hold of his hands before he sank from
sight. They brought him and the
children to the Greenwood garage,
where first aid was given all three.
The children were then sent to their
homes, not much the worse for their
narrowing experience.
Dorandi was also assisted to his
home where, with warm drinks and
heavy blankets, he was finally able
to get the chill out of his own blood.
