The New Year Of Broadcasting
With Christmas and its special
broadcasting activities over for anoth-
er year, CBC programme officials
have, as it were, stepped from the fry-
ing pan into the fire. Not only are
they now getting ready for New
Year's radio celebrationsbut they al-
so are completing.' an'angements for
an entirely new .schedule for 1938. It.
is, however, with great enthusiasm
that these arrangements are being
made, largely because of the fulfil-
ment of two iMpottant CBC under-
takings:' the inauguration to the net-
work of tWa 50,000 watt transmitting
stations at Hornby and Vercheres
which now are providing listeners in
Ontario and Quebec with broadcast
coverage and reception new to Cana-
dian radio, The two stations, CBL
and CRF, will be followed-in_tiane by
other high-powered plants to be con-
structed at strategic points through-
out Canada, notably the Prairies and
the' Maritimes.
Withthe knowledge that this am-
bitious undertaking
m-bitious'undertaking to provide Canada
with a network of this type already
has been partly realized, programme
officials are endeavoring to keep up
with the, rapid strides being made by
the engineering department. A glance
at the new schedule, which becomes
effective January 2, indicates that the
CBC does not intend to stay behind
in the field of broadcast entertain-
ment. '
One, of the most important features
of the 1938 schedule is that several of
the most ambitious United States
programmes will be made available to
Canadian listeners. These include
Sundays, 7.00 to 7.30 Jack Benny;
8.00 to 9.00 Chase and Sanborn, fea-
turing Edgar Burgen and Charlie Mc-
Carthy; Mondays, The Lux Radio
Theatre, dramatizations; Wednesdays,
at 8.00 o'clock, One Man's Family;
Thursdays, Kraft Music Hall, featur-
ing Bing Crosby. Others are being
arranged.
CBC's own programmes, several of
which will be heard in. the United
States as international exchange fea-
tures, have been planned with a view
to providing Canada with broadcasts
that, besides reflecting the Canadian
scene and the personality typical of
this country, will be both entertain-
ing and educational. A special at-
tempt has been made to assure that
its programrnes will satisfy the varied
and conflicting tastes of listeners.
Important among CBC's awn pro-
grammes will be: Sundays, 5.00 to
6.00 "Vesper Hour", from Vancouver;
7.30 to 8.00 a new programme to be
known as "Canadian Mosaic", pro-
duced from Toronto by J. Murray Gib-
bon, authority on folklore and folk
songs and featuring an orchestra with
soloists; 10.00 to 10.30 discussions by
the Shaftesbury Club of Toronto on
housing problems; Mondays, 8.30 to
9.00 the popular "Streamline" feature
from Toronto and from 11.30 to 12.00
"Night Shift", actuality series, which
is scheduled to be presented from
Vancouver. Tuesday's highlights are
9.00 to 10.00 a new feature , called
"CBC Concert Series". This will be
presented from Montreal and will fea-
tureJean-Marie Beaudet conducting a
sixty -piece symphony orchestra. It
is felt that this will be the biggest
show ever attempted by the CBC. The
finest soloists available have been en-
gaged. The same night, 11.15 to
11.30, brings "The Cariboo Miner",
talks by George MacKerracher on the
Yukon, and his adventures in the
mining fields. This will be presented
from Vancouver. On Wednesdays,
10.30 to 11.00, The CBC Singers, a
Toronto group that for some time has
been carefully groomed for broad-
casting, will be featured. This group
bids fair to be one of the finest or-
ganizations of its kind on the North
American continent. On Thursdays,
the CBC will present, 9.00 to 10.00,
the "Drama Hour", during which
plays by outstanding British and Am-
erican authors will : be dramatized.
Producers will be Laurence Gilliam
of tell BBC who is now on six months'
loan to • Canada, and Rupert Lucas,
brilliant .Cantjilian producer. T h e
"Drama Hour will be presented from
different points o f production
throughout the country.
On Fridays 8.80 to 8.45 will be. pre-
sented a series of international news
commentaries featuring on alternate
weeks Steven Cartwright, editor of
"Current History", New York, and
various features from London. This
series, starts January 2 when Gerald
Barry, 'editor of the London "News
Chronicle" and formerly editor of the
"Weekend, Review" ' will be heard.
From 11.80 to 12.00 there will be a
new feature called "The Minstrels'
Gallery", featuring Arthur Phelps
who
will read poetryset to music.
These, of course, are only a few of
the highlights for 1938. Other pro-
grammes, seine of which by papular
demand' have been presented in the
past or are being presented at pre-
dent, will be featured. The CBC will
continue to broadcastprogrammes
grainmes
from England and other European
countries • as well as send some of its
own abroad. Two important changes
noted, moreover, are that the North-
ern Messenger service, which has been
presented Saturdays will be broad-
cast Fridays 12.00 midnight; to 1.00
a.m. and that, effective January 2,
the Corporation's Canadian ' Press
newscasts will be broadcast 11.00 to
11.15. •
On New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve will be celebrated
over the national network of the CBC
by several special broadcasts. Not-
able among these will be 9.00 p.m.
"Hail and Farewell", a broadcast
dealing with significant happenings
of ..the past twelve months in the Bri-
tish Empire, Europe, United States
Canada and the Far East. It will be
produced by Laurence Gilliam from.
the Toronto studios. At 10.55 Hali-
fax, the first point in the North Am-
erican continent to greet the New
Year, will present "1938 Comes. to
Canada", As the time speeds across
Canada and the old year beats' a has-
ty retreat, Montreal will present at
11.05 "Dancing Through 1937", a re-
view of the year's popular. music.
This will be produced by H. Rooney.
Pelletier and will feature an orches-
tra under the direction of Lucia Agos-
tini with guest soloists. At 11.55
"Canada's Capital Greets 1938" and at
12.45 the far west will bid goodbye to
1937 with "A Happy New Year".

WES. McKNIGHT'S INTERVIEWS
COMING ON •CKNX JAN. 1
Next to Foster Hewitt's famed "He
Shoots . . . He Scores!", the top-
ranking radio feature on Saturday
nights is Wes McKnight's N. H. L.
Interview. Thousands of Canadians
who wouldn't miss the Maple Leaf
Gardens broadcasts feel much the
same way about McKnight's inter-
views earlier in the evening.
Saturday night at 7.00 o'clock, Me -
Knight can always be counted upon to
bring some noted hockey celebrity to
the microphone. It is estimated that
a good fifty per cent of the National
Hockey League players and coaches
have already been lured to his Sat-
urday night microphone for an inter-
view.
Dos to increasing demand front this
district for better 'reception of these
broadcasts, arrangements have been
made for "The Home Station", CKNX
at Wingham, to hook up with a direct
wire to Toronto for these broadcasts.
Wes. McKnight's Interviews will go
on as usual at his Toronto studios,
but a direct wire will now connect his
Microphone with the CKNX transmit-
ter at Wingham.
CKNX will carry the first broadcast
on Saturday, Jan. 1. and each Satur-
day night for the balance of the hoc-
key season.

Pithy Ancedotes
Of The Famous
Writing to Austin Dobson just af-
ter, he had finished his Life of the
P'oet Gray (of Elegy fame), Sir Ed-
mund Gosse said -the letter is quoted
in Evan Charteris' Life of Gosse:
"I am in a state of agitation; I
have just' written' the death of Gray,
with inexpressible excitement: I have
been crying so that my tears blinded
the page -how ridiculous -tears for
a little man who died more than a
hundred years ago -how ridiculous!"
You often hear soieeone say -per-
haps somewhat enviously- that so-
and-so was "born, with a silver spoon
in his mouth." That saying origin-
ated in olden times: when a hostess;
giving a sumptuous dinner, did not
feel obligated to supply her guests
with the' cutlery necessary to its neat,
and cleanly, despatch. Forks had not
been invented rthen but spoons had,
and each guest brought -his own spoon.
And the kind of spoon he brought was
largely instrumental in deciding his
place at the table, says Estelle H. Ries
(in "Mother Wit"). .A. silver spoon
was sure to land him a seat at the
aristocratic end. Most spoons were
of bone, shell, _and other materials. So
you can see that the expression "born
with a silver spoon in his mouth"
really meant something. Tiie silver
spoon was handed down from father
to son and fortunate the child born of
a father who possessed a silver spoon.
The Expression "Hobson's choice"
-meaning no other alternative -dates
back over three hundred years and
originated from 'the stables of one
Tobias Hobson, of Cambridge, Eng-
land. Hobson was the first man in
England to hire out hackney horses,
according to Addison: He made a
rule that though a prospective custo-
mer might be shown a whole stable
full of horses, the customer always
had to take the animal which stood
nearest the door. Whence "Hobson's
choice."
The phrase "Burning the candle at
both ends" goes back -to-the days
when candles were long, flexible tap-
ers, held in a kind of metal rushlight
holder. By Bending the taper and
lighting both ends you got double the
illumination, but you exhausted your
taper in half the normal time. And
so with some human beings who "burn
the candle at both ends" it is a "short
life and . a merry one" -or so they
say.
The origin of "grog" dates back to
1740 when the British Admiral Ver-
non, ordered that the sailor's rum -
at the time usually called arrack -
should be watered. Displeased, the
sailors named the insulting beverage
"grog" because the Admiral was al-
ready known as "Old Grog" from his
habit of wearing a grogram (that is,
a coarse fabric) garment, either cloak,
or foul -weather coat, or breeches.
By the way, Mount Vernon, the
home of George Washington, was
named after Admiral Vernon.
There is a story of the book -world,
which may be recalled as suggesting
the things necessary in a first novel
and a "first novelist." A well-known
publisher, relates James Milne (in "A
London Book Window"), was called
upon by the young son of an intimate
friend with the question:
"I want to be a novelist; will you
tell me what I should do?"
"Young man," was the answer, "I
cannot tell you how to succeed in the
most difficult profession in the world.
But I can give you one or two hints
as to how to set about it.
You should clearly decide in your
own mind what you wish to say; then
you should decide equally clearly how
you wish to say it; and finally you
should say it all as clearly and con-
cisly as you can in not more than
100,000 'words; and if you can make
the words fewer, so much the better."
Then there is Mark Twain's advice
to a young author. You recall he said:
"Yes, Agassiz does recommend au-
thors to eat fish, because the phos-
phorous in it makes brain. But I
cannot help you to a decision about
the amount you need to eat -at least
not with certainty. If the specimen
composition you send is about your
fair, usual average, I should judge
that perhaps a couple of whales would
be all you would want for the pres-
ent. Not the largest kind, but simply
good middle-sized whales."
WALKERT,ON GOALIE GOES TO
EUROPE WITH,. CANADIAN TEAM
To be chosen asgoalie on the hoc-
key team, which will represent Can-
ada in the world championship tour-
nament at Prague, Czechoslovakia has
been the fortunate lot ,of Mel. Al-
bright of Walkerton. Besides taking
part in the world-wide tournament.
the team, known as the Sudbury
Wolves, will tour England and other
European countries: The aggregation
which is under the protective wing of
Maxie Silverman, the Sudbury hoc-
key mogul, sailed from Saint John,
N.B., on Tuesday of last week for
their overseas tour.
Mel, Albright, the goalie of . the
outfit, is a Walkerton born: boy and
saw his first hockey on the local
ponds and: in the Confederation Ar.

LEARN YOUR LIGHTING.
PAGE 3,
Careful lighting, low and to one side, gives this "character portrait" its
unusual firelight effect.
HAVE you ever tried shooting
away a whole roll of film on one
subject, not changing its position in
the least but merely altering the way
the light strikes it?
It may seem foolish and extrava-
gant but it can be one of the most
important photographic lessons you
ever took.
Try it on this theory: that the ob-
jects in a picture have no real in-
terest in themselves but that all the
interest is in the way they are
lighted -how the light strikes, how
shadows are cast. Or, in the words
of a great French photographer, that
the subject is nothing, the lighting
is everything.
Take a photoflood lamp in a re-
flector and arrange a number of
small objects -say some fruit spill-
ing from a bowl -on a white table
top. Have enough general room light
to give detail in the shadows.
Now set up your camera firmly
with the light right beside it, for
your first picture. Take another with
the light far to the left and high up.
Take one with the light directly over
the subject. Take one with it behind
the subject, shading the bulb so that
no direct light ahinea into the cam --
era, lens.
Try as many positions as the
length of the film roll allows. When.
the pictures are developed and print-
ed, the differences will astound you -
Study them and you will learn what.
can be donewith light when it is
properly used.
If you don't like still life, try a.
series of portraits, using the same•
person and the same pose but dif-
ferent angles of lighting. From pic-
ture to picture, facial expression.
will vary astonishingly -dead .with
fiat front light, sinister with the light
low and directly in front, startled
or even terrified with the light low
and to one side, and 'so on.
The same is true of landscapes.
With each hour of the day -they
change, the deep morning shadows
dwindling into noon and growing
again into the grandeur of evening.
Light is the photographer's work-
ing material, the plastic clay from
which be models his pictures. Study
it. Learn what lighting can do and
apply your knowledge and you wilt
produce pictures of which you wilt
be proud.

(Too late for last week)
Mr. Snelling with wife and daugh-
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Blair of Goderich
Township, visited with Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Lyon on Sunday.
Mr. and .Mrs. Ralph Joshing of
Wingham, visited at the home of
Chas. Manning on Sunday.
Public School concerts are many this
week with splendid programs at each.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lyon went to
Leamington on Wednesday last and
spent Christmas at the home of their
son, Dr. Kirk Lyon.
The Annual Christmas Tree Con-
cert held in the Community Hall on
December 21st, was a success from
every standpoint. Owing to the rath-
er bad condition of the roads perhaps,
the attendance was not quite as large
as it would have been. However, quite
a good-looking crowd assembled. The
concert was very fine, perhaps the
very best ever presented by the Uni-
ted Church Sunday School, which con-
sisted of chorus, duets, drills, recita-
tions, pantomimes and a short Christ-
mas play. Each and every number
was so good that it would be hard to
judge which was the best. The com-
mittee who had the work of training
of each deserves great credit. The
Christmas 'Free was laden with gifts
for young and old. Old Santa had a
busy time at the close of the program
getting the presents distributed, The
proceeds were nearly $50.00.
