him if he ever read a book about
I curling. To My surprise,he -had

It is surprising how many people
neglect the advantages Of reading
books on subjects of such a tech-
nical ziatury, Pool players, for ex-

Without reading what the top Play-

to write about the game,
To mY,rnind this is a 'shame.
I• once knew a radio announcer
who. was cluite popular. He Jived
next door to us and often dropped
in during the evening for coffee.
One-night he was feeling a bit, low
and doubtful about his future. He
didn't. seem Lo be gating anywhere,
he said.
I brought out a 'book I'd picked
• up full of vocal exercises. One of
them, called the "hung Er, was a
'favorite with Caruso.My,friend had
not realized that as he was in the
business of projecting his voice on
the multitudes, he might learn
something about 11, from books, He
started practising these exercises
and' then, went on a search of the
libraries for more of them. He be-
came a, top performer, but because
he was bright in a variety of ways,
he was pr6m.oted. beyond the an-
nouncing chores. Books started

Scenes Pf destruction were quickly followed by signs of a defin-
ite program of rebuilding as the CKNX studio building. was
completely gutted by fire last Thursday morning, The, old high
school building which formed a part of the Cl<14X property,
was a total loss. W. T. "Doc." Cruickshank, who founded. the
broadcasting concern away hack in the early days of radio, lost
cy
one item which represented the entire scope of his firm's pro]
gress over the years ---the low-power transmitter with which he
first went on the air when the station used the call letters JOKE.
it was later known as 10BP, before receiving its present design&
tion, Many employees lost personal effects in the blaze.
