Fishing The Air
BY G. SHUBERT FRYE
AM references are Central standard Time

Behind the Radio Worlds Fair,
in session all week at New York, is
hidden riore meaning than the cas-
lal observer might see. Four years
ago this event was started by the
broadcasters of the country as a
banquet exclusively for themselves.
Although the show carried various
displays of radio development, So
cial and entertaining features were
emphasized.
This year fair activities stand out
as new milestone in radio prog
reSs.
Transoceanic telephony, television
and facsimile transmission (sending
photographs over the air) are
among the remarkable strides made
in 1927, brought to a focus this
week.
w. Shark, Connersville, answers
Fishing the Airs querry on canned
music broadcasting by saying that
he much prefers it to programs
broadcast by national chains with
emphasis placed on advertising. He
resents very much, hearing the re-
quest, stand by please" while the
key announcer repeats the name OF
the firm supplying the music.
Fishing the Air does not concern
itself at present whether such firms
are entitled to advertising received
in this manner. The question is do
fans enjoy hearing phonograph
music broadcast from their local
stations. Shark apparently does.
He sees no reason, he says, why such
programs should not be on at night
as well as during the day. Fishing
the Air is glad to hear from this
Connersville fan. Thank you, Shark.
The opinions of other fans on this
question are invited. Send your let
ters to Fishing the Air, in care Of
the Indianapolis Times.
Favorjte selections from both
modern and old music masters make
I'D the program of the Cities Serv-
ice hour broadcast from WEAF, New
York, over the Red network at s
this evening. Instrumental selet-
tions by the Cities Service Orchestra
include an unusual orchestral treat
ment of Kreistler's world-famed
violin solo, "Tambourine Chinois. "
This selection is the great viQlinist's
Impressions Of the various linking
noises Of the Orient, and when rem
dered by an orchestra, makes most
unique number. other selections by
the orchestra are Grieg's ITO
SPRING" LISTS "Liebestraum," Mas
senet's TScenes Alsatian," and the
ever popular "Blue Danube Waltz.

hick state is still making the rounds
thru the exchanges and echoing from
state to state. This article was reer-
red, to The Progressive a few days
after it appeared, and then later,
Anderson, made his apology and stat
ed that if he had done any
wrong that he was willing
to retract; His apology was printed
in The Progressive, and it was
thought that that would be the last of
it, but it seems that someone found
copy of the Girard paper and start
ed it on its way by having it copied
in the Beacon-J ournal of Akron, Ohio.
In Akron there are several West
Virginians, and Belingtonians who re-
scented the article-some of them
writing articles to the Akron papers
while many sent copies to the editor
of the Progressive wanting to know
what it was all about and who this
man, H. 0. Anderson, was, etc. At
first it was thought that individual
letters would suffice, but since so
many have seen the article re-copied
in the papers of wide circulation, we
deem it necessary to make an open
reply, SO that others who will read
this may know something of the re-
sentiments from those who formerly
lived in Belington, especially.
Since Mr.. Anderson, who does live
in Belington now, altho a native of
some other state, is working for the
B. & 0. as telegrapher, has family
to keep. and has long since repented
for any wrongs that he may have
done the town and its people, we are
not publishing any Of the letters that
refer to him as we consider it would
make matters worse, and believe that
II. due time, that Belington and West
Virginia will be looked upon in the
true light as progressive town in
a progressive state.
