The Seaforth News, 1937-09-09, Page 3".CHURSD'AY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1937 THE SEAFORTH NEWS PAGE TI-TERE More Transmitter News '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.

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 y 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?"
