new RULES LIMIT
"STAT|ON BREAKS"
Many Programs to Continue
Use, However, Because
of SELLING BIurbs."
BY ROBERT MACK.

"Station breaks" which is the broad
casters term for the 15-minute. call let
ter announcements that have been OBJ
iigatory since radio regulation began,
viii mot occur so often hereafter.
New broadcasting regulations which
became effective Monday eliminate the
compulsory 15-minute break. Announce
ments, whenever possible, will be made
at half-hOur intervals, on the half-hour,
but even that is not mandatory when
q single consecutive speech or dramatic
skit would be interrupted
The Selling BIurb."
Many stations and perhaps most net
work programs will continue to use the
15-minute break, because 1t affords an
excellent opportunity for interjecting
the selling blurb" Of the advertiser.
Moreover the trend has been toward
15-minute programs, or those of even
shorter duration, and announcements
must be made before and after each
presentation, whatever its character.
Both the National Broadcasting Co.
and the Columbia Broadcasting System,
along with a number of independent
stations for many months have i'm
plored the commission to waive the Is
minute announcement. Heretofore the
only exception from the iron-clad Is
minute rule was when the President was
making an address. Otherwise special
permission had to be obtained.
TwofoId Purpose.
Originally the station break order was
issued for a twofold purpose. In broad
castings carly days the faVor!te Amer
ican pastirne was to fish for distant
stations. Listeners complained they had
to wait an eternity for the station
picked up to announce its call letters.
But the "dx-ing" apparently has died
a natural death. with the major net
works now covering every nook and
Crannv of the country through scores
Of affiliated stations.
The other reason was purely business
The ether was hodgepodge Of inter
fering stations. unScientifcally allo-
Gated. The commissions job was to
clear up broadcasting, and the task Of
policing the ether rested with the Radio
Division of the Commerce Department.
FREQUENT announcements were essential
so that the radio police in checking in
reference conditions could identify the
stations
Rough Spots Smoothed.
BY THIS process most OF tine rougn
spots were eliminated through the 1923
Nationwide realIocation Of broadcast
ing stations, in which the assignments
of 90 per cent of the $40 stations on
the air we're switched. That all of the
snarls have not been cleared up, how
ever. can be attested by many listeners
But times have changed. The dra-
matte Skit has carved for itself a niche
in the radio picture. To break into the
middle of some stirring episode when
the studio clock chimed the quarter
hour shattered the illusion for the lis
tener Call letter and local station in
sertions caused untold difficulty and in
convenience to continuity writer's in the
building and timing of dramatic pro-
grams in addition to the effect on the
audience

 Hartford Ahead
 According to the phllatelic columnist of the Hartford Courant that city is ahead of Waterbury in town cancellations. The earliest for that city Is reported to Do November s, 1853, . cover In the possession of Henry l.. Gerrtsh of the Stamp Collectors club of Hart ford clearly showing that date. Tho earliest reported in this city Is said to bo April 2s, 1855. Elisha Leav- enworth was postmaster at that time, serving his second term. 1t was his father, Colonel William Leavenworth, who was Water- hury's first postmaster. serving from 1908 to 1s4O when he died and was succeeded by his son, who in turn gave way to David Law and then went into office again upon Laws death.
 How Many Issued?
 There is some speculation as to the number of stamps in the Ar- bor day commemorative issue. Originally 1t was announced that 100,000,000 would be printed, but later on information was dispensed that tho number would be cut to 25,O0O,00O, That was due to tho fact that tho one.cent increase In first class postage Is expected mos montarily. Uncle sam doesn't care to overload with two's when threo's will shortly bo all the rage. However with commemorative moving as fast as they do there isn't much chance of the govern- ment finding too many two's on It's hand when the jump in rates does como.
