The Seaforth News, 1938-07-21, Page 3THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1938, THE SEAFORTH' NEWS PAGE THREE New Station For Prairies Announcement that the lgovern stent will 'authorize construction by CDC of a new ;moo watt transmit- ting station for the 'Prairie region will 'be 'welcome news to ,thousands of radio listeners who at the present time aye receiving somewhat scant and spasmodic service. The new eta - tion, width) probably will be con- structed and putinto openatian to- ward the end of the year, will com- plete, in conjunction with the station of similar power to be erected this . year to serve the Maritime provinces, CBC's second installment ,for national high-ipower coverage. The first install- ment was completed last year with the erection of two 50,000watt plants to serve Ontario and ,Quebec. Loca- tion'•of the new western s'tati'on is yet 'undetermined but it is understood that engineers are now studying suggested areas -in Saskatchewan. :The topo- graphy of the land is such that the signal strength of the new station will Ibe far greater than that of the 'first two 1510,000 watt stations, CB'F and CBL, erected by CBC. In ,other words, the Prairie region, •unlike On- tario. and 'Quebec, is (flat country vir- tually devoid of mineral deposits and (because of this it will be 'possible to &over a much greater range. Cities as far east as :Fort William end .Pont Ar- tShur should 'be able to hear the pro- posed new transmitter with little 'dif- ficulty. Toronto Promenade Symphony Or- chestra The Toronto Promenade Symphony Orchestra will have as guest conduct- or for its thirteenth concert of the 1938 summer series, 'J'uly 28, 'at Var- sity Arena, Toronto, Charles (O'Con- nell, the brilliant assistant conductor of the Philadelphia :Orchestra. Mr. 'O'Connell, who served under Leopold Stokowski, and more recently, since Stoleowski's retirement, under Jose Iturbi, has just returned from an ex- tensive tour of Europe, where he con- ducted some :of the moat noted orch- estras on the continent. The Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration will broadcast over its na tional network a portion of the pro- gramme to be played 'between 9;0.0 and II0.100 'p.m. 'EDST. The red net- work of the National 'Broadoastitsg Company will carry the programme in the (United States. In addition, au- diences 'throughout the world will be included through the short wave faci- lities of Station W3XL, of the (N'B'C International 'Division and Station W8Xd0, Pittsburg. The Promenade Symphony Con- cert will present also as guests the young Canadian two piano artists, Etta Coles and Naomi Yanova, who are known to concert audiences throughout the Dominion and in leading U. S. cities. Bo'tit artists are native Canadians. Miss Gales was born in 'Regina, Saskatchewan, and Miss Yanova in Toronto. Their con- tributions to the broadcast portion of the programme will be the Concerto in C Minor for two pianos and orch- estra, by Bach. Mr. O'Connell will conduct the or- chestra in his . own 'tranScripti'on for orchestra of the c'ho•ral 'prelude, "Kon Sesser Tod" ((Come Sweet Death) and the orchestra will play also the Bach "Prelude in ,E lvfajor," tran- scribed by Lucien Caillet, the (brilli- ant 'bass clarinet •soloist of the 'Phila- d:el'Phi'a Orchestra: . The programme: Overture, "Marriage of Figaro", Mozart, orchestra; I{om Sasser Tod, Bach, orchestra; (Prelude in E Major, Bach, orchestra; 'Concerto in C Mi- not, Bach, •Coles and ,Yanova; 3 pia- nos and orchestra; 'Sdntbert's Sym- phony No. '8 ('Unfinished), 'orchestra. A Bouquet for 'Bob Bowman "'Along the Air Waves" has been consistently reserved in 'the matter of throwing 'bouquets for individual per- formances in the (belief that What is one man's meat is another man's poison. We do think, however, that listeners who heard Bob Bowman's first national sparks 'broadcast, made last week by the CR'C's new mobile unit, unanimously agree that it really was a triumph in (broadcasting, The programme was thoroughly enjoyable and at the same time instructive and proves beyond all 'question of doubt the .possibilities of this new form of "sound picture" presentation. Congra- tulations to you Bob, and to Roy Ca- hoon, your chief engineer!' Edgar Stone Honored A signal 'tribute to his reputation as a stage and radio producer was paid recently to Edgar Stone, chief pro- ducer of the Canadian 'Broadcasting Corporation commercial department, Mr, Stone, who has directed nanv outstanding :presentations in. Canada, was elected a governor ,of the Dom- inion Drama Festival during its an- nual meeting held at Winnipeg. Gives Violin To ,Mathe 'Mate since 'the death of its former owner fifteen months ago, a 250 -year- old violin will play again. It will ,be heard by listeners across Canada on CBC networks. Mrs. Olive Stansfield of Sudbury recently presented her dead 'husband's violin to Blain Mathe, a member of the 'Corporation's 'Hap- py Gang." Six months ago she 'heard ,Mathe play one of her husband's fav- orite 'numbers. She decided she would give 'him her husband's violin. She could have sold the instrument for a considerable sum, for it is a Paolo Gnancino, and was sold to Stansfield by Mary Hall, concert violinist of 25 years ago.

Man's fever for conquering teres - tial space with ,ever -quickening strides had its germ in Jules Verne's fantastic novel,. 'Around the World in Eighty Days," first .published in ,11872. 'Earlier voyages around .the world, including those of Magellan, Sir Fran- cis Drake and Thomas Cavendish, were inspired more by a lust for rich cargoes of spices and new lands to claim thanby a zest for convpetitive adventure. Seventeen years after Jules Verne's fictitious .character, P'hilees Fogg, sped around the world in 80 days and while critics still peered at 'Verne's "impos- sible" 'dream, a woman newspaper re- porter vindicated the great French writer, In 1889, Elizabeth Cochrane, who wrote for Joseph Pulitizer's 01'd New York World over the name of 'Nelly Ely," hustled around the globe in 02 days, 6 hours and 1:1 minutes—New York to London, across the Indian Ocean to Hong Kong, thence to San Francisco and back to New York by rail. Georges Francis train 'brake the clashing'Nelly's mark Iby five days the next year. Then at least six other globe=trotting junkets shaved the rec- ord down to half INelly's time in the next two decades, until, in 1913, John Henry Mears made the final boat -rail assault on the record before the air- plane entered competition to knock all the previous marks galley -west. Mears made it in 35 days, 21 hours, 36 minutes. Prophets said his mark would stand forever. Brut with the introduction of the plane, glebe -girdling became a chang- ed sport -as different as Howard Hughes' 4 -day rocket across the northern hemisphere and the legend- ary exploit of the ancient Greek Icar- us, who soared from a high cliff with wings attached to his shoulder by wa.."..,.,until the wax melted and he plummeted to his death.

They had been out .of radio commu- nication with. their 'headgaiarters since midway from Fairbanks, when both transmitters failed.

The monoplane circled the field twice (before coming down to an easy landing before a wildly cheering crowd.

The Seaforth News SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, Their first .stop in their homeland since the take -off from New York Sunday was the briefest in their four- day flight. They speeded take -'off preparations, joined by a :comps :of 1c - cal airport mechanics. Ed `Lund, flight director, weary from his long vigil at the controls, said they had flown above clouds front Fairbanks to past 'Edmonton and de- ckled not to stop there (because :nf weather conditions. "Besides we were well aver 14,000 feet and 'hated to lose the time it would take to 'come down," he said, 'We had no 'difficulty whatsoever, outside failure of our transmitters. It was a nice journey." Lund said they did not stop at Win- nipeg for the same reason, and with sufficient fuel, headed far Minneapo- hs port, Ewen with the light load—Hughes said the fuel was just sufficient to reach New Yonk—the huge twin -mo- tored plane roared three-fourths the length of the runway before Biding in a :flat climb and 'ban'king rather sharp, ly to the east, 'picking up a compass barely 200 feet in the air. They covered the 124411 miles from Fairbanks in 12 hours and one minute. Thomas A. •Thurlow, navigation of- ficer, said there had been no delay on the light there from Fairbanks, and that the weather was "fine" except for a short time when they saw light- ning. Harry P. Connor, another naviga- tor,said the quintet would be "bat- tling straight on through" to New York as 'quiokly as the refuelling was completed. As the men stepped from the cabin, they staggered slightly, as though groggy from loss of sleep on the long flight. All were unkempt. Hughes wearing a soiled white shirt and flan- nel trousers, and showing plainly the effects of loss of sleep. He said he had slept about four hours since leaving New York Sunday afternoon. A canvas was spread' on the floor of the plane, and the then indicated they had slept on it for brief stretches. Hughes said he and Ed Lund, flight officer, alternated at the controls, tak- ing turns of about six hours each, mut that the robot control did "most of the flying." NEW GOVERNMENT PROGRAM For the Sanatorium Care of Tubercu- lous Patients ,Following the apiproval of the Lieutenant -Governor in Council of the regulations relating to the recent Am- endments to the Sanatoria for' Con- sumptives Act whereby the Provincial Government relieves the municipali- ties of the cost of maintenance for in- digent patients in sanatoria, the Hon- ourable Mr..Harold 'J. Kirby, Minister of Health, outlined the policy of the Government in respect to this matter. The legislation was introduced as a result of an extensive study of 't'he programme of telberoulosis control which revealed that in many instances suitable and necessary care for those suffering from this disease had fre- quently not been provided because of the cost to the municipalities. Hereto- fore ap.proximately half of the patients dying from tuberculosis have not re- ceived the .benefit of sanatorium treat- ment. Furthermore the burden of the costs of sanatorium care were strik- ingly unequal frommunicipality to municipality throughout the province. Prior to the last session of the legis- lature, all cities, separated towns and counties were required by statute to pay $:1.50 per day for the treatment in sanatorium of each indigent person suffering from tuberculosis: In the case of counties, one-half of this ant - runt was charged back to the town- ship, town or , village, as the ease night be. The amount of money rais- ed by the municipalities through taxa- tion for this ,purpose amounted to $1t- 3110,000.00 last year. While the bulk of the financial ,bur- den, formerly borne by the municipali- ties, has been assumed by the govern- ment, the responsibility for the after- care of certain patients is still left with the mtmicipalities. Failure on the part of the munici- pality to supply such after-care, will result in the retention of these 'pa- tients in sanatorium at the expense of the municipality. Such cost would 'be greatly in excess of that entailed in providing proper living accommoda- tion and treatment outside the sana- torium. When pneumothorax treatments are necessary following the discharge • of indigent patients from sanatoria, the municipalities are required to provide transportation from the .place of resi- dence to and from the nearest centre in which such .treatment facilities are available, and to pay physicians ap- proved by the department for giving these treatments. The government, however, will reimburse the ni'unite pality for the amount .paid to these physicians up to $3 per refill treat- ment. . This programme becomes effective 3uly,Illet, 1928, Patients who are able to pay all or part of their maintenance in sanator- QUEEN MARIE OF RUMANIA DEAD 'Queen -Mother Marie of Rumania, granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Great Britain and one of Europe's most •popular royal figures, :clied on Monday after a prolonged illness. She was 62 years old. Death occurred at the summer palace near Bucharest. Born .Oct. 29, 181715; the daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh and the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, she married Crown Prince Ferdinand of Rumania when she was 117. •From 19)4, when her husband succeeded to the throne, antil his death in .191317 she exercised a strong influence on Rum- anian and Balkan 'politics. Two of her daughters became Queens of 'Greece and Yugoslavia. Her eldest sen, Carol Il, succeeded his father hut renounced the throne fn 1926. Re-en'terin'g Rumania in 11930, he was proclaimed (King in .June of that year. Marie was known :personally in the United States and Canada, which she visited in 1926 and which she vividly described in her memoirs, "The Story of My Life," published in 1934, She was also the author of a novel "The Mask,"'published in 1935. TESTED RECIPES Buying Beef by Grade Buying (beef by grade takes the :haz- ard out of marketing ,because the qua- lity of the two grades of 'branded beef is guaranteed by Government inspect- ors. The 'fi•rst grade is known as Choice and the cuts are stamped with a thin red ribbon-like mark, the sec- ond grade is the Good Strand, marked in blue. Full information as to choos- ing and cooking beef is contained in the 52 -page illustrated pamphlet "Beef, and How to Choose and Cook It" which may be obtained free on appli- cation from the Publicity and 'Exten- sion Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. The following recipes are taken from the pamphlet: Short Ribs with Vegetables Brown desired quantity of short ribs on all sides in hot frying pan. Place in covered casserole with a few slices of onion, salt and pepper, and cook slowly for about 3 hours. When cooked, remove rubs, thicken liquid with flour, reheat and serve together. If desired, Ib'oiled potatoes, peas, on- ions, diced turnips and carrots may 'be added to the gravy, or served separ- ately, Pan Boiled Flank Steak Trim a flank steak and wipe with a piece of cheese cloth wrung from cold 'water. Score diagonally in opposite directions on both sides with a sharp knife. Thoroughly grease a hot frying frying pan with some of the -fat trimmings; place steak in pan and turn every ten seconds for the first three minutes of cooking 'to sear the surface well over. After this, reduce. heat and turn occasionally until richly ,browned on both sides. Remove to hot serving platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread generously with butter. Sirloin Steak a la Hollandaise Prepare a Hollandaise sauce as fol- lows: Tut 4 egg yolks in the top of a dou'bie boiler, beat slightly, add / cup 'butter, and 34 cup cold water. Set over low heat and stir constantly, keeping the water in the lower part of the boiler just below (boiling point, the lower part of the boiler :having been filled with hot water at the start. When the mixture thickens to the cnnstistency of boiled custard, add gradually 34 teaspoon ful salt, mixed with % teaspoonful pepper and few grains cayenne ; continue beating, then add 12 tablespoonfuls lemon juice slowly 'while beating. Pour half of sauce on lb' a' hot platter; over this place a thick, juicy, broiled sirloin steak; cover steak with remaining sauce and serve immediately. sunt will be expected to do so as heretofore. The minister emphasises the fact that the government is taking on no additional responsibility whatever with respect to pu'b'lic general hospi- tals and the care of indigent patients therein. Such institutions 'will con- time to receive government support in the way of statutory per diem grants but the main responsibility for their operation will, as in the past, remain with the communities which they serve. +Exasperated Teacher [(to dull class) - "Now, children, if the donkey's head points to the north, where does ,his tail point to?"
