'Installation will be completed with-
in the next fewclays of the electrical
circuits of the to COn'501,000 watt
transmitting stations being erected by
the 'Canadian Broadcasting Corpora-
tion at Verchere., 'Quebec, and Horn-
by, (Ontario, engineers in charge of
,00nstructian informed 'Along the
Air Waves," Work on 'the two plants
is progressing of topspeedand it is
expected that they will be in opera-
tion well before the end of the year.
Installation includes almost all
phases „f electrical and communica-
tion engineering, the power supply re-
quiring several hundred kilowatts. Ln
order to assure complete dependabil-
ity of service both stations will be
supplied with duplicate power separ-
ate from the Main service, thus mak-
ing possible an instant switch over.
lAt Vereheres and Hornby the most
modern methods known regarding an-
tenna will be nsed, The Hornby an-
tenna, for instance, which wM he 6,1•'7 -
feet high, w•i•11 be surrounded by more
than 11111 miles of- wire buried in 'tire
;ground. 'Ibis wire ;will be placed to
,form spokes" of a wheel. One hun-
dred and twenty of these spokes each
. will he 10/0 feet long. Between them
will be placed wire of shorter length.
Such 0 complicates! ground sy.steut
will be necessary to derive the great-
est possible useild u•ss from the sta-
tion,. Large strips of buried copper
will connect the centre of the ground
wheel to the ground system in the
transmitter building.
All radio and electrical apparatus
in the transmitter buildings, hlclud-
ing water pipes, conduits and metal
window• frames, will be electrically
connected with the ground system.
Re -enforced Kars in the concrete also
will 'be welded together and connected
to the ground system. Engineers claim
that a good ground system has the
same effect as increasing the power of
the stations.
(The antennae themselves will be
painted and equipped with a 'lighting
system to act as a 'guide to aviation.
These lights, which will require more
electrical energy than the average re-
sidence, will 4be placed at each 100 -
foot level on opposite sides of the tow-
LIONINsormaawanowais
er so that they may be visible front
all direction's. .A. powerful aviation
beacon will be installed at the top of
each antenna. These lights will be op-
erated 'by means of an electric eye
and 'as soon as night falls they will
come on automatically.
The wain tubes to be used in the
transnnitters will be 11010 itilowartts each
and will be the largest used in radio
broadcasting, In 'North America. The
heat from these poweeful tubes, after
being remover' from the transmitters
by means of an air 'blast through a
radiator system, will 'he used in 'heat-
ing the buildings.
!The transmitter buildings at Ver -
elicits and Hamby will be of'the lat-
est design am eanslructiou and the
equipment that is at present being in-
stalled at"both plants represents the
latest developments in radio engineer-
ing.

What has happened to the promises Hepburrl made
to the, farmers of Ontario before he was elected ?
Hepburn Promised the Farmers:
A special session of the legislature to deal with farm relief problems
immediately after the election.
What Hepburn Did:
Nothing 1 He said: "The farmers must stand on their own feet."
Hepburn Promised the Farmers:
Help in improving livestock, grants to help agriculture.
What Hepburn Did:
He wiped out the Farm Loan Board—stopped bonuses for pure bred
sires and grants to junior judging competitions—cut off $300,000 in
grants made by the previous government to aid the farmer.
Hepburn Promised the Farmers:
Wider markets and better marketing facilities.
What Ilepburn. Did:
He closed the marketing agencies at Montreal, Winnipeg and in the
Maritimes—closed Ontario House in London, England, which had created
markets thereby increasing Ontario farmers' annual income by $10,000,000.
Hepburn Promised the Farmers:
A string of cold storage warehouses across Ontario, for the benefit of the
farmer.
What Hepburn Did:
Nothing I

Hepburn Promised the Fanners:
Reduced taxation,
What Hepburn Did:
He collected in taxation 80% more than was collected in the last year of
the . Conservative Government, of which the farmers paid their share,
What is Sauce for the Goose
... Is Sauce for the Gander
BUT—while Mr. Hepburn was saying
to the farmer "you must stand on your
own feet" and was cutting off $300,000
- in agricultural bonuses, he was passing
on a bonus to Sir James Dunn of the
Algoma Steel Corporation of almost a
like amount of the taxpayers' money.
Agriculture and industry are both
vitally necessary to the prosperity and
welfare of the Canadian people. The
farmer says,however, that "what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the'
gander — why take away our bonus to
bonus Sir James Dunn?"
