BETTER PROGRAMS
 FOR RADIO FANS
Forecast for Winter Entertain
 ment Crop Is Favorable

The approaching radio season promises to be big one for the local listeners in. Ease of reception and quality of features are the big items, with encouragement of wave lengths and other matters trailing along and bringing up the rear. Probably the biggest factor to- ward increasing tn enjoyment of New Britain listeners will be WTIC. Hartford, which, seizing the oppor- tunity provided when it joined the Red network of the National Broad casting Company. will include on it's programs many features from WEAF, New York, the mother sta tion of the network. Among the 1 features will be several famous dance orchestras which will be heard on various evenings each week. Cass Hagan's band, Janssens s 1 Hofbrau orchestra and B. A. Rolfe's stellar aggregation are among those | scheduled
 In addition, that station will pro- vide concerts by the A. S5 r. Gypsies a famous WEAF feature, together with other offerings of note, to be | announced later. The pick of the | WEAF programs will be offered for the approval of the WTIC listeners That station has also scheduled pro- grams for Sunday, beginning at ! about o'clock in the afternoon and continuing until o'clock in the | evening. The Crosley Sunday radio hour will alternate on Sundays with | Travellers Symphonic Ensemble, 1 while each Sunday evening will l bring to listeners the weekly organ recital from the Capitol thcater, with Walter Dawley at the console.
 The programs by Dawley have proved immensely popular under the ] heading of Melodies For the Old i I'olsk at Home" The lateness of the hours, 11:30 o'clock on Monday evenings, has prevented many from listening, who might otherwise en- 1 joy doing so. The arrangement whereby the programs will be heard early Sunday evenings will meet with q great deal of favor.
 In addition to the New York fea- lures, WTIC promises a wide varie- ty of brand new features recruited fro mthe vicinity of Hartford and it is expected tha tthe Travellers broadcasters will become even more popular with loca Hans than it has in the past
