that the association will affiliate with

A Heavy Wind
The high wind last Thursday did
not do aS much damage as might be
expected from such a heavy wind. In
all parts of the district dead branches
were blown from trees and some trees,
toppled as well as branches being torn
off. The worst effect of the storm was
on the apple crop which suffered
greatly. Lost shingles also flipped
about by the wind and some barn
roofs were otherwise damaged. Three
deaths took place on account of the
storm in Ontario but no injuries of
any account have been reported in
this community. Vern Walker of the
Public School staff had quite a scare
at the noon hour. She was turning
from the side walk toward the house
when a big limb fell from a free above
and came very close indeed to Striking
her. How it did not Is a syslcry.

ST. PAUL’S CHURCH
HELD ANNIVERSARY.
The Festival of the Harvest was
commemorated in St. Paul’s Church,
Sunday, with the church appropriately
decorated with the fruits of the Har
vest, by the Altar Guild. At the morn
ing service', the choir rendered the
anthem “Thou visited the Earth and
Blessed it”, with bass solo by W. J.
Tucker. “Land, Of Hope and Glory”,
the Offetory solo, was sung by Lieut.
J. R. M. 'Spittai, The rector preached
from the text, Psalm 146, verse 6,
"He that goeth forth weeping, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come
again with rejoicing, bringing his
sheaves with him.” The Bible is pre
eminently the farmers book and speaks
of all the risks and sacrifice made be
fore the achievement of the harvest.
He referred to the British Empire, the
church in Cana'da, the Bible all won
by those who went forth sacrificing,
before coming with rejoicing. There
is undue optimism about the winning
of the war. Make-believe blackouts
in Ontario cities, make us look lige
children in sham battles, playing with
tin soldiers. We have gone on with
business as usual, while young men
were plunging crazily from the skies.
• Squadron Leader Rev. A. Hooper,
of the Air Navigation School, Port
Albert, preached in the evening. He
gave an impressive, thoughtful survey
of the sowing of the years past by
Japan, Italy and Germany, the future
of Christian people to act in a Christ
ian way, and so come the present dis
aster. Fie pleaded with the Churches
to protest, everywhere, and at all time,
by action, against all tendencies in
human life to cause rifts and warfare
in the social and economic spheres.
“Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap,” is true of nations, of
churches, of the world.
*• The choir contributed the Canticle
Deus Misereatur, and the anthem,
“Sing to the Lord, and give Thanks,”
with soprano solo by Mrs. ’R. E.
Armitage.
Special petitions were offered on be
half of the Royal Air Force, as well
as the R.C.A.F., and for deliverance
and peace.

POWER OF CKNX IS
NOW 1000 WATTS
What is now radio station CKNX
had its beginning in 1926 when W* T,
Cruickshank built a 5 watt unit. It
worked fine for its power but Doc
found he could not get a license.unless'
it was operated by a club. So a club
formed and it had at one time over
400 members. The station first went
on the air in February 1926 and it
was the seventh radio station in Can
ada. At that time there were but 70
stations in the United States and only
about '5 of them could be heard here.
Ear phones were the order of the day
at that time,
In the fall of 1926 the club pur
chased a factory built transmitter of
25 watts and the station became 10
BP and two years later the station
was increased to 50 watts in power.
In 1936 the station was given the call
letter CKNX and became a commer
cial station. The following year the
operations were carried on with a
power of 100 watts, and this week the
power is increased to 1000 watts.
The transmitter when the station
was 5 watts was first in the Bruns
wick Flotel but since 1929 has been
in its present location up to now. The
studio location is the same but the
transmitter js 3% miles south of town
and is housed in an modern stucco
building built .especially for this pur
pose. The new transmitter is a Victor
1 K model, modern in design and only
two of this kind are at present in use
in Canada. Three other stations have
them on order.
The towers (overture radiators) us
ed in connection with the transmitter
are each 187 feet high, Thefe are two.
of them. • , i '
For a short time the station will be
operating at reduced power at night
as some of the necessary equipment
could not be procured in time to be
used when the power was increased
to 1000 watts. Full power will be used
in the daytime however.
Local listeners will experience much
improved reception, clearer and not so
powerful as when the 100 watt trans
mitter was located in town. Visitors
are welcome at the studio or the
transmitting station. ' • . >
