Through tie Static

! On Saturday evening there was heavy static, lots os noise and a va ! ried assortment Of bloopers.the latter commodity being carried over to las, night. Saturday evening brousl: with t that buzz saw idea. some thing not at all new. but decidedly successful in the prevention ot lis te0.ng iH on the radio. We gave up ] the ship apou. an hour after f start vi and wa confined our efforts 10 WTIC. Whenever We left the Hart lord station We found the noise run ming around, loaming at the mouth and chasing old ladies and gentle mon, 10 say nothing Of children, to : places O. safety, AS :ar as conditions ! were concerned, last night was fair. although We didn't succeed in reach ins out so very lar.
 The Medical Corps band and the violin recital hy Mrs. \. s. Jatia Of th.s city were me prime features on . WTlCs Saturday evening program. We enjoyed both or them heartily, 1 >nl ho" can We say more?
 Yesterday afternoon we found WlCC, Bridgeport booming out loud y and plcaslng!y. There was no in reference from other stations. al though the bloopers got restless once in q while end kapt things at 8 high pitch. The Brunswick dance orchestra provided the entertain men, during the afternoon. said en- tartairment being Of a high quality .n its line. The band presented noyol and original orChcstrations and il was way aoove the average Of day time dance orchcstras. You know, they usually run mediocre affairs during the daylight hours, saving the best stun ior evening. Not so with WICC yesterday. High. High | Iiigh Up in The Hills" was included in the program, which ran for about two hours we should say. We listen ad 10 1t for al least that period Of time.
 WTICs debut as 6 member Of the National Broadcasting Company's : Red Network yesterday afternoon al 5:3V o'clock was q decided success. The orchestral program was nove! and interesting. being made up ! largely Of Italian airs such as Fun ! iculi. Funicula.' and others. The soloists demonstrated their ability to sing and the orchestra it's ability Q present selections in q catching manner. so what more could you de- sire? Transmission was excellent and the program might have been coming from WTIC's studio. for all the difference thore vas. The pro gram emanated from Cincinnati. l The State theatcr program last evening took IS right through the concert into the news reels and the comedy, due to the fact that the Cia- cinuati program lasted until t:S0 o'clock. We enjoyed i,, though, and i We had lots Of fun listening to the audience as it sang "No-Do-Deo.'
 One O. those hum-dinGin', red hot, sizlling revival meetings or oSansel- ! ist!c services was he'd at Atlantic ! City and broadcast by WPG. We didn't get much out oi it beyond the l impression that the speaker was equipped with leather lungs, The 1 station vas Ia the same category. WJAR and NKC came through moderately strong, each ot them or .cring th" Capitol theater program rom New York. We heard 3. portion O an orchestra selection and either two or 329 vocal solos, none of which was complete, due to the fact that We shifted around so much.
 WCAU, Philadelphia had the au- dacity to offer a vocal quartet in Horses" After having thought that over for while wei! let you i'll on two others, spring IS Hero' and "April Showers The quartet Was a hard working delegation, though, and Ne thought 1t was prctt! idiF'
 From WTIC comes the annoInc"- .nent that on April I. just two weeks away. at 7;lj y, m.. Michael Muf- yhy, known to residents Of thls cl'y Us 6 grocer, put to the radio au- dierce as q very capable old time fiddler, will present q program, Very nico.
 Also, from tAe same station comes the announcement that Rabbi Ste phen $. Wise. who has spoken sev- .ral times over NTIC, Will Dc heard next Sunday evening at S:3J o'clock as ne addresses the banquet of the Zionist Organization Of America. He uill discuss the establishment ot q Jewish homeland in Palestine.
