The TrOndhjem Cathedral.

On July 20, 1880, Norwegians from
all parts of the world will gather at
Trondhj em to commemorate the death
of King St Olaf in 1030-an event
which practically meant the general
acceptance of Christianity throughout
Norway. At this occasion it is thought
the restoration of the famous Trond-
hjem cathedral will have been COM
pleted, and as there are still a good
many things to do in connection with
this immense work, an appeal has
been made to Norwegians in the Uni
ted States to contribute money to the
restoration fund. Thousands Of Nor
wegian-Americans are expected to at
tend the celebration which will, in a
measure, become the nine hundredth
anniversary of the establishment OF
the Christian church in their home
country.

The radio station Of the future
will be nearer $4,000 watts than the
5000 watts now considered as high
power among radio broadcasters, de-
clares H. A. Bellows of the Federal
Radio Commission, according to a
dispatch from The Times Washing
ton bureau. He also says:
There will be fewer stations and
many consultations.
There won't be any more interior

watts, Bellows said. Five kilowatts
represents the maximum of interior
ence, but does not give the maxi
mum of quality and reception of
programs.
Fifty kilowatts will do this, and
the public will demand stations of
| this power as time goes on.
Consolidation is much more eco
| nomical than sharing a wave length
| between two stations, because the
same equipment can be used in both
cases.
There could, however, be two sets
of call letters n desired, and while
the transmitting could be done in
the same place all the time pre-
ferably far out in the country, two
sets of studios could be maintained
by two firms which had consolidated
and these could even be in two
separate towns.
Getting the transmitting ap-
paratus out of residential districts is
important, Bellows said. "a 500-watt
stations in residential district is
more of a menace and interference
than a 50,000-watt station out in
the country"
