ENCOURAGEMENT FOR CANADIAN TALENT Employment of Canadian talent in the production of programmes, and the development and encouragement of new talent, is a basic policy of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora. tion. In each year of its operation, C B 0 has progressively employed more Canadian radio artists. Thous- ands of Canadians who have special- ized abilities of different sort—in the field of music, drama, variety and in writing for a:adio—are finding the CBO an •outlet for creative work. Although all OBO talent is engaged on a basis of merit, the Corporation gives first consideration to Canadians —not only professionals of recognized standing, but others who show prom- ise and who aspire to reach profes- sional standards of excellence. At each C B 0 production point in the different regions -Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver — aspiring newcomers in the radio field are given auditions free of charge. They are given a sympathetic and critical hearing by a Regional Board of Adjudicators composed, not of members of 0130 staff, but of persons of recognized authority in music, drama, and other special fields. The auditions are carried out hi complete anonymity, the adjudicators listing those who are giving the auditions by number: and not by name.' If the first trial is not successful, further auditions are always given if request- ed — provided that reasonable time meat.. Once approved by the Board has elapsed for study and improve- ment. Once approved by the Board of Adjudicators, every effort is made to put new artists on the air.. by-play accounts of all Saturday night home games of the Toronto Maple Leafs throughout the winter mouths. Foster Hewittis a veteran hockey announcer and his vivid commenter les during the past years have gained for hint a host of admirers from coast-to-coast. Speaking 'from the. gondola, high above the playing sur face, Hewitt will call the play as the Maple Leafs' meet the Boston Brutes in their first official National Hockey League game of this season. LURENE TUTTLE Appearing recently en one of Dick Powell's program, Lurene was nom- inated by Dick as Hollywood's First Lady of the Radia: On many Holly- wood radio shows, Miss Tattle has starred opposite such players as Frederick March, John Barryniore, Douglas Fairbanks jr., Conrad Nagle, Basil Rathbone, George Raft, Dick Powell, and many others. When auditions were held for the title role in the new drama "Victoria Regina", Lurene Tuttle was the un- animous choice of the producers•. Her glorious voice and exceptional radio ability contribute much to this' great serial story of Queen Victoria, now heard from CKNX; Wingham, each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 11.45 a.m. TREES FOR SNOW FENCES Snow fence of living trees are be- ing planted along town and county highways in: Wisconsin. Experiments carried out by the American. Legion Auxiliary have proved that effective results can be obtained at less cost in using trees. The trees will be furnished by the Wisconsin Conser- vation, Department. COMMENTATORS TO GIVE WORD PICTURE FROM FAST FREIGHT During' ,the past few weeks, the Special Events Department of the CBO has been busily engaged in the preparations cf plans for a rather un- usual actuality broadcast. This event will be heard over the National Net- work on Friday, November 3, at 9.00 p.m., and is entitled "Fast Freight." Speeding along between Toronto and Montreal on one of Canada's fastest freights, commentators will bring to listeners •a word picture of actibity aboard various parts of train. During the broadcast, the freight will be mooring at a speed well above 60 Milani per hour between the Ontario towns of Pickering and Port Hope. In anticipation of this unique broadcast, `.CBC. engineers have been planning and testing apparatus that will'be used during the presentation. This -includes, a radio -equipped box car, located in the centre of the train. In addition, receiving stations wilii be located' at two strategic points along the route, At one of these locations, the CBC Mobile Unit will serve as a' station. Commentators, using pack trans- mitters, will be located in the engine 'cab and the caboose and will tell :of their experiences at both of these `advantageous positions. Another eom- mentator will speak from the central radio -equipped ear, as the train rolls en through the eight toward its; destination. FOSTER HEWITT RETURNS FOR NEW HOCKEY SEASON With his usual cheery greeting- "Hello Canada, and hockey fans in the United States and Newfoundland" Fajslter Hewitt will inaugurate a new series of Saturday night hockey broadcasts on Nevember 4th, at 9.00 Pan. These broadcasts, which will (trig- , inatein the Maple Leaf Gardens; Toronto, will bringto listeners, 'play - CANADIAN JAM FOR ENGLISH CHILDREN Ten thousand pounds of homemade Norfolk jam wag shipped from Port Dover consigned to Great Britain, where it will be added to the menus of children evacuated from their homes through the war. The shipment was in two Iots each of 5,000 pounds, one consigned to the Lord Pravlost, Glasgow, Scotland, the other to the mayor of Haslingden, in Lancashire, England. The jam was prepared as 'a Nor- folk Women's Institute project, spon- sor of the plan being Mrs. T, B. Barrett, of Port Dover, active W. I. worker. Borth North and South Nor- folk intitutes took part. THEATRES FIGHT RETURN, OF AMUSEMENT TAX Ontario theatre owners will oppose return of the amusement tax, even as a war -time measure, it was stated by Col. John Cooper, manager of the Film Board of Trade, of Toronto. It IS ruanored that the next sessionof the Ontario Legislature will be asked by the Government to restore the amusement tax, repealed some trine ago.' "We have always contended that the amusement tax is an unfair tax," said Col. Cooper. "To single out one industry for special taxation is un- fair."

Peat, which usually calls to mind the little houses and cabins in West- ern Ireland where the poor folk are dependent upon the damp, -smoky fuel derived from the adjoining bogs, may now keep the home fires burning in comparatively prosperous England. Very soon the coal allowances to "Old pictures, of the erstwhile King of Kings, Emperor Haile Selassie of conquered Ethiopia, show the mon- arch in the 'protective shade of .an umbrella held) by a retainer," "Since (time inmtnemozial, the um- brella has been a favorite with the Japanese: Early Greek and Roman ladies of position carried it.

COINCIDENCES IN LIVES OF FAMILY That happenings in the lives of some people may appear to be co- incidental, was brought to mind by the death recently of Mrs. David Martyr of Toronto. An item appearing on the front page of the Kincardine' News a few weeks ago referred to the death on October 4, 1889, of,Maleolnt McKay, on the ship "Hailstorms", off Inver- huron. This man, was a brother of Mrs. Martyr's and this incident ever lived hi her memory.. On October 4, 1894, her first husband, Mr. Murdock, McRitchie died. -The funeral of her second husband, Mr. David Martyn was held on the second day of the Ripley Fall Fair 14 years ago. Mrs. Martyr's funeral was held on the second day of the Ripley Fall Fair this year. The death of her sister, Mrs. Thomas Morrison of Bruce oc- curred on the same day as did that of Mrs. Martyn, Monday, September 25. The funeral of the former was held one day later following that of Mrs. Martyn._ WITHDRAWN STAMP SAID TO DISPLAY CZECH CHAMPIONS- German HAMPIONSGerman authorities are searching for a stamp artist who is reported to hese concealed the faces of three' Czech national heroes, together with an outline of B'ohemia'spre-1Vlunieh frontier&in the design of a stamp issued' for the Protectorate of Bo- hemia -Moravia. The stamp, which has been 'with- draw'n from, circulation, is a green 50 -Heller' denomination; showing the ancient castle of Karlstejn, near Prague, in , a setting of cloud and rock which forms an outline roughly similar to the original north and south boundaries' of Bohemia. It is reported' that sketched in the rode formation on which the castle stands is the profile of Thomas G. Masaryk, first President and founder of the Czecho-Slovak state. To the left is 'said to be the 'full -face port- rait of D. Eduard Belnes, ;former President of the Republic, and to the right, the profile of Khamsali, first 'Premier' of the Republic. MAKING SURVEY OP CANADIAN FACTORIES British Purchasing Mission Moves Toward Awarding, Contracts A survey of manufactu°ingplants in Eastern Canada capable of making munitions is being eompleted by the British psu;chasing mission, in co-op- eration with the War Supply Board, as a preliminary to the awarding of British contracts here:. A. comprehensive 'survey of national industry made by the defence depart- ment in recent years • is providing one authoritative baekg,round for the placing of contracts. A. direct exam- inahion of facilities is .also • being made now before orders are let by the Supply Board, as agent foe the Brit- ish mission:. A sample of the work necessary for the geaniting• of contracts is cited in coimection with shell orders. A dozen or more major parts go into the manufacture of a ,shell,; most of them widely'different. The procedure then is to inspect all the plants cap-. able of malting• eachpart before distributing the Orders. Once this preliminary work is com- pleted, it is expected' erdere will be placed with .considerable rapidity. NEW SYSMARTEM I{ETFORING POULTRY Huron County Co -Operative Poultry Processing Plant Is Established In Wiaugham The formation, of a Theron. Cotmty' Co -Operative Poultry Foot modelled to conform to the ,standards set up by the Dominion Department of Ag riculture to be conducted as a co-op- erative activity for the benefit of far- mens and poultry producers in, Huron County and adjoining districts, is an- nounced. This killing and complete processing service has, been establish- ed as a result of col -operation between the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture and the United. Farmers' Co -Op- erative Company. The service has been established in the Wingham Branch of the. United Farmers' Co -Operative Company, of, Wissgham, and is in full operation, under the management of Mr, Arthur Wilson, the manager of the branch. The cream trucks will pick up the fowl from the farmers. This enter prise is organized on similar lines to the successful processing plant which has been In operation for the past 2 and a half years at Brockville, Ont., and has been established for the bene- fit of all farmers in the surrounding districts who avail themselves' of sueh a valuable service. All interested poultry producers may share in the opportunity to have their live poultry delivered to the plant where. the Gan - eminent standards' of killing and plucking will be followed. The poul- try will them be immediately cooled under controlled temperature, graded and attractively packed in the newly setup section of the plant, and mar- keted from there to either domestic or export markets on the basis of Government inspection to insure partial and accurate grading. Each individual lot of poultry sent in by producers will retain its iden- tity until the birds are finally graded, to ensure that each producer receive returns exactly,according to the qual- ity of his or her own poultry. All types of poultry will be handled zit the plant including chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese, payments to produc- ers being made on the basis of the quality of their product and only the actual cost of the processing and marketing will be deducted, Special arrangement will be made as to payments to producers and the poultry sent in for processing will remain the property of the producers until sbld to the highest bidder. All arrangements in reference to the details of marketing the poultry will be under the control of a eon- mittee appointed by the producers taking part in the undertaking, the members of this committee being re- presentative of the various districts to be covered: TUICY, perfectly -ripened Canadian apples J are in . fresh from Canada's finest orchards!

WITH CONFIDENCE.; BURT IN CAR CRASH Cars owned by Dr. Warwick, vet- erinary surgeon of Brussels and Gordon Murray of Grey township, collided five miles east of Brussels. The Murray car was badly damaged, Warwick's car swerved around after the collision and smashed into a tele- phone pole. Dr. Warwick received severe bruises and was badly shaken up, but Murray was unhurt. The family had just returned from church. "Poor stuff," said the fath- er, critizing the sermon. "Wretched singing," added the mother. "Badly played organ prelude,' remarked big sister. But the critisism ceased when 7 -year-old Ian remarked, "Well, I guess we don't need to worry. The four of us got in far a nickel, didn't we daddy?" "LASTIC GRATTAN" ONCE WAS'. ON MAIL ROUTE "Lastie Gratton," the pacer that hays wrecked five track records on its, tour of Ontario fall fairs in the last few weeks, had an unusual number of owners and jobs before being pur- chased by Rupert Aylesworth and Wilmer Hillock. For some years he was worked en a farm around Till- sonburg. ' Then he was on a mail route,. where a Tilisoauburg fancier saw him and started his career as a pacer. About three years ago "Lastie Grattan" did not ]mow .his way a- round a race track, but when he was schooled, harness racing was natural for him. Under the skilled training of Wilmer Hillock, the horse develop- ed into the biggest winner of lean year, and is one of the biggest win- ners this season. anitnalaniateMitnairtillinie F�r t: DO YOUR PART TO WIC THE WAR BUY CANADIAN and BUY $RITISH •
