Through fife Static

Back again alter the summer sea son which wasn't so bad after all, ] taking in everything. We want to greet all our old friends and, We
 hope. many new ones. We earnestly . hope too, that you may derive som" degree Of entertainment from our efforts this winter, II promises to b" . a big one and, with q decided in .r-aso in the numbers of fans in this
 city, the whole crowd of us should
 be able 10 get together. Wed like to ] hear rom you once in a while, 1T
 you have any suggestions regarding
 programs, or if you have any com
 m"nts to make regarding stations
 htard.
 Had re known that the summer
 would be so satisfactory atmospher-
 pcaIIy We would have continued with
 Through The Static" but, of cours" we didn't know that, To be frank, ] the receiver at our home was going practically every night except for q period Of time when it was being . oyerhauled, and We've had very good | luck with it. We don't remember i having logged many new stations, but we can report consistent recep- ton from points a. far west as Chi cago, and that's enough.
 Today seems 10 be about right for resumiug this column. Of course, all i Of you heard the Hadlo Industries | banquet last night. If you were lis- itening in, you couldn't help hear it, since nearly every station of any 1 Importance at all in this section ot the country was providing it for the
 radio audience. We'll go into the
 program more fully just as soon as we get some other things off our chest.
 Tonight the nr"y-Dcmps"y fight will be broadcast direct from Sol dicrs' Field, Chicago, over network which now includes G7 stations. Probably several others will sign up before broadcasting time. The fight is scheduled 10 be broadcast almost any time between 10 and Il o'clock eastern daylight saving time. We
 learned that much from Hanford Billings, studio manager Of WIlC, Hartford, which will be included in the hookup arranged by the National Tr0adcasting Co. MT. Billings further stated that q special operator will be listening in from s o'clock on and If anything brcaks before that WTlC stands ready 10 switch over to the network at a minutes notice, thus guaranteeing prompt service for the stations host Of listeners. NEAf, New York, will take the air with Its ncw 5U-KW transmitter and Graham McNamcc will describe the fistic en- counter direct from the rlngside. Phillips Carlin will provid" statistical information between the rounds. r would be well nigh impossible 10 recount all the interesting things VI.

 fore the microphone. There vas every hing from dance music to con- cert singing. After the first hour our senses became rather dlmmcd and, although we listened and absorbed the entertainment the names no longer registered 10 any great eX- tent. It's the same principle as nav ing lots Of money. When you haven [ much money every dollar looks big, but when there are q lot Of those dollars put together they don't look
 so big (not nuchD. Celebrities were zo common last night that the com unittnc in charge stood some Of them in the corner for use as hatracks, 1 Others bccarn" walters.
 There weren't many speeches. Only ono wae scheduled, but we al-
