The Engineering of the Royal Visit Broadcasts 'Every •day since the Empress of Australia reached Canadian waters, millions .of listeners across Canada, in the United States, and at the' far cor- ners of the world have been able, AL, Through The magic of radio, to follow, �Fstep by step, the 'historic journey ,of King George V'I and Queen Elizabeth 'across our vast country. This modern miracle of science, which ab'olis'hes time and distatice, is 'taken so much for granted that few realize the mag- nitude of the engineering enterprise which 'has made this service possible. In 'bringing to every home a vivid and accurate account of Their Maj esties' 'tour, the engineers of the Can- adian Broadcasting 'Corporation 'have, without a single mishap, accomplish- ed what is said to be 'cite most forsnid- abie technical task in the history df actuality 'broadcasting. Unlike the commentaries them - selves, whose value depends essential- ly on the skill of the narrator . who makes them, the Credit for the smooth operation of the technical system which makes these comment- aries possible is shared by a large. lumber of technicians; each of whom has, in the performance of some ,es- sential function, contributed his skill and knowledge towards a continua success.. The responsibility :for the general direction of all :engineering activities is: 'undenta'ken, by; Dr. Augustin Frigon, Assist.Gen. Manager of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Superviised'Iby G. 'W. 'Olive, Chief Engineer of CBC, all' technical ,ar- rangements for the Royal visit were placecl in the- hands of Mr. Alphonse 'Ouiniet, head of tate Corporation's Operating Department, and his staff, The engineering of 'these 'broadcasts has taken many months and has tared to the limit the 'facilities an•d personnel of this Department. New ,equipment was .developed especially 'for these 'broadcasts by Mr. Ottimet and his assistant; Mr. I1. E.S. Hamilton, who also travelled across Canadaon the Royal Pilot Train to supervise last minute arrangements. At the same time other engineers of the operating group, •Messers. A.B. Ellis, .M.L. poole, and W.A. Reid were co-operating with the engineer- ing representatives of the' Corporation in the various provinces in the detailed preparations of equipment, personnel and network facilities at each ;point. In the Capital City, the efforts of some20 engineers and technicians, who prepared and controlled the important broadcasts, which included the colourful ceremonies at the War Memorial and of Trooping the Col- ours, were directed` 'by Mr. M.3. Werry of the Headquarter staff, under Mr, W.C. Little, who supervised all activities is 'rhe Province of Ontario as the CBC's Regional Representat- ive for the province. Tire piolc-ups in the 'city of Toronto, at 'the Legislative chamber, at Queens Park and at the Woodbine Race Track, were handled by the local per- sonnel of the .C'orporation's studios in Toronto. under the direction of 'their chief, Mr. E. C. Stewart. And so, across 313 ,cities of the Dominion, which our Sovereigns honored by their visit, tate CBC, through its eng- ineering head office in Montreal, has directed the efforts of its many rep- resentatives in each province and in each city to provide an unfailing ser- vice to its listeners. Mirror of the Nation Hon. R. J. Manion's proposal at Toronto 'last Saturday that Canada should take a leaf :from the United States Government's.book and estab- lish Youth Training Camps as a means of opening the dear to econ- omic esta'blis'hment' for ,the young people of the -country who are now facing the future 9topelessdy-dtas•found response throughout the ,countny. Several leading newspapers have commented favorably upon it. •at is seen as the .only practical proposal 'from any quarter in connection with the urgent youth problem. Dr. Manion esa's epeaking 'before a great convention rod the Young Con- servative 'C1u'bs of .Ontario, Hundreds of young ;people from all ,parts of:On- tario were in attendance and dele- gates from nei'g'h'borin'g provinces 'were also present? In the United States' some two mil- lion youths have 'been trained and fit- ted to enter economic life through the Youth Training Camp system. A large .proportion of them have been placed in -employment. Dr. Manion suggested that Canada should 'be able to 'hanctle two hundred thousand youths in the swine manner. The -Conservative Leader's ' Tor- onto proposal was in line with his frequent demands of the +Goverttnent during the recent ,parliamentary ses- sion that something should be Bane 'for the youth of Canada. He has stated several times that he regards the question of the economic estab- lishment of Canada's young men and women as one of the most pressing ,problems confrontingthecountry. At Toronto he repeated the statement he had made on gather occasions that when he 'becomes Prime Minister he will establish a Ministry o& Youth Welfare. If Canada, he said, could spend five hundred ntillians a year on war surely something could 'be spent to save Canadian boys and girls. 'Work and wages far those 'willing and able to work, opportunity for youth, and security for all, Dr: Man- ion said, were the keystones of , itis economic policy. De, Manion went 'to the Youth Convention in Toronto after speaking the previous day at several enthusias- tic Conservative meetings at Peter- borough, He dealt again with the rail- way question at Peterborough, re- affirming. his stand against unification of the two railways, wb8ch he de- scribed as merely another term for amalgamation. Unification, the Conservative Lead- er declared, would mean the creation of a hinge railway monopoly capable of controlling the .government, ,parlia- ment and the ,public affairs of 'Can- ada. , Railway employees number Counter Check Books We Are Selling Quality Books Books are Well Made, Carbon is Olean and Copies Readily.

Under the supervision of Mr. G. W. Olive, CBC's Chief Engineer, who is seen to the right of Dr. Frigon, responsibility for the, direction of all technical arrangements was placed in the hands of Mr, J, A. Quintet, head of the Corporation's Operating Department, and his staff. Mr. O•vimet is pictured to the left of Dr. Frigon. New equipment was developed especially for these broadcasts by Mr. 'Ouimet and his assistant, Mr. H. E. S, Hamilton (top centre). Mr. Hamilton also travelled across Canada on the Royal Pilot- train to supervise last-minute arrangements,.

This would average about ;1,000 votes to a constituency, suffioient to swing an election. The Conservative Leader did not believe that Canadians wanted their Government and Parliament so controlled. He did not think the situ- ation was - altered in any way or that the public's natural suspicion of uni- 'ficatioa was in any degree modified by the fact that 35 Senators had voted in favor, of unification at the recent session of Parliament. He pointed out that the Duff Commission which spent several months investi- gating the railway problem a few years ago had advised against the amalgamation. Unification, he show- edwould not reduce the Canadian National deficit by more than about twelve millions a year, at best. D. Manion stated that in the near future he would offer a plan for rail- way economy. After addressing a Conservative rally at Rakabeka Falls in his home ,constituency of Tort William on June, 26 the Conservative Leader will speak at Fiaherville in Hald'imand County on June 29 and on July 7' he will speak at a joint picnic of the Con- servative associations of Lincoln and Welland ,counties at Queenston' Heights.
