 Miss Scheff has just returned to her Hitchcock Lake home after series of stage and radio appear ances in the midwest. After playing on the Fulton Market pro- gram here for four Sundays, she will start a tour of the Far West, starring in her own company. Ap- pearances over several important western stations are listed in her itinerary.
 Each of her four programs over WATR will be of an entirely diff ferent type. Comedy will balance tragedy, pathos will be intermin- gled with laughter, semi-classic songs with tunes from the more popular field.

sequence of really all-star pro- grams had been completely listed and arranged. Such Is now the case, as listeners will learn tomor- row.
 With Sunday as the day when stations have their largest daytime audiences, 1t is apparent that WATR's already large regular listening audience will be even more enlarged. With it's reputa- tion as favorite station all over Connecticut already established, this reputation will be further en- hanced with the opening of regular Sunday broadcasting activities.
 Since June WATR has steadily forged ahead in the radio world. Since that time, several of its spe- cial broadcasts have aroused state- wide interest, among them the broadcast of the Firemen's parade here two weeks ago, and the de- scription of the Johnny Moore day baseball game from Hamilton park. Its regular programs have reached consistently higher stand ards and are now at a compara- lively high peak in the indepen- dent station field.
 Waterbury has taken especial pride in its own station, and will undoubtedly do so to an even larg- CT degree now that WATR has reached the stage of all-week broadcasting.

 The first broadcast from un- der water by a life-saver equipped with the new McCaa diving mask will be heard on Friday, September 2. Captain Charles B. Scully, director of life saving of the New York chapter of the American Red Cross, will demonstrate the revolutionary equipment at < Jones Beach State Park on Long Island, and his voice as he walks and swiIns under 30 feet of water will come to radio listeners over an NBC- WEAF network at 1880 p. In., E. ID. S. T.
 The mask covers only the face of the diver. Air is SUD- piled from 8 small tank strapped on his back and, after being breathed, is clrcu- lated through purifier so that it can be used continu- Ously for more than half an hour. During the broadcast, Captain Scully will wear ear- phones, and the NEG audience will hear a twO-day cOnversa- tion between the diver and an NEG announcer in a boat far above him. Captain Scully has saved more than 400 persons from drowning during 20 years of lifesaying work and holds Congressional Medal of Honor for one of his rescueS.

Fritzi Scheff Dedicates To=morrow's Revue on WATR to Her Greatest Friend The Immortal Victor Herbert

The brilliant voice that made her the toast of Vienna, the darling of the grand opera stage, and the favorite of America will be heard Tomorrow afternoon from 1880 to r2:00 over WATR when the one and only Fritzi Scheff faces the smicrophone in the studios under Sponsorship of the Fulton Market Stores.
 It will be a program known as SSMemories of Victor Herbert, swith Fritzi including in her song repertoire the favorite Kiss Me Again, the song that is identified with her name and voice in every city, town and hamlet in the United States. It was Kiss Me Again" which crystallized into near-hysterics outbursts the ac- claim which greeted the beautiful singer after she had already be- come famous on the stage for her work in the light operetta field. The program itself will combine Fr1tzi's beautiful soprano with a string orchestra, dramatic remin- siscences of days that are past and gone, bits of gay comedy, and narrative sequence done by David -tdale f1alpern.

ment." said the Governor in con-
Guiding his message. but what we
do here will affect for good or evil
the constituency who placed in our
hands a public trust"

sonally before the Legislature, but
sent a copy of his message to each
branch for its consideration. The
Governor suggested that a joint com
mittee OF members of the Senate and
House be appointed TO consider the
serious problems requiring action.
and that this committee at the ear
liest possible moment report its
findings to each branch for inten-
sive deliberatiOn and appropriate
action"
