 Boat tho last few weeks. .... And springs inHucnce Is being
 felt even through the cold

 Sometime you fans with the Sherlock Holmes ambitions can solve one problem that bothers us every now and then. It's the difference of from 20 to 30 seconds in time between NEG and CBS.
 Every single Columbia program ends at least a third of 0 minute before the NEG broadcast at the same period. CBS is already getting new program underway when the NEG stations are still carrying closing announcements.
 The mystery has intrigued us for some time but we've never had the energy to attempt clearing 1t up.
 If advance interest Is any certain indicator then Water-
 bury's new WATR Is going to
 prove popular broadcaster. Fans all over the city and in
 nearby towns have been seek
 ing all sorts of information on
 the station, which will make
 its debut in June. Inquiries
 have ranged from the type of
 coll to be used fin the trans
 mitter to program schedules.

 would be the cubic content of each master tube in the trans-
 mitter and we had to reply
 graci0tisly that we neither
 knew nor cared. Which ex-
 plains why radio editors get
 gray hair.
