A new mdbile actuality 'broadcast
ing and reoarding unit, the most mo-
dern of its kid in the world and th
first +of several +ultimately to be p01
into operation throughout Canada, has
been added to the equipment of the
special events clepartment of the Can-
adian Broadcasting Corporation. The
unit, designed and +constructed ender
the ,supervision of •CBC .engineers,
was 'demonstrated for the first +time
last week to rrevrspapermen in eastern
Ontario.
Consisting Of a large van and tow-
ing car and +constracted primarily for
the ptrpose of bringing to Canadian
and international listener's ,broadcasts
of special events as they occur
throughout the 'Dominion, the unit
also will make possible a new tech-
nique in •recorded programmes. The
technique to be -followed will be
radio's elosest approach to that .used
in motion pictures.
:Completely equipped with +appara-
tus for short-wave and -ultra-wave
transmitting .and receiving, the unit
oan the used for almost every type of
broadcasts, such as +opening of
bridges, sports events, army man-
euvers and parades. Such 'broadcasts,
When carried as well by the large
American ch.ains, will assist material-
ly in the .development of important
(international exchanges and will
prove invaluable as a means of adver-
tising Canada in other countries.
A feature of the unit's +equipment is
its recording machines +which, for the
first time on this continent, will be
used for the presentation of 'special
aotuality programmes. These inach-
ines will enable a CBC commentator
to make sound piotures of places of
interest, edit them by eliminating sup-
erfluous material and weave them into
a central theme of script and music.
The :first of such a series will be
(presented fortnightly, starting July
13, when sound +pictures of campfire
and fishing scenes, :bird songs, inter-
views with game wardens, ,fire •rangers
'and 'guides in the +National 'Parks will
.be broadcast from .Calgary. The .snitINF now is en route to Banff to start this
work. !Next year it is planned, to make
similar sound pictures tailed "Sum-
mer :Oyu- Brunswick," "Summer over
iNova Scotia," and "Summer Over
Prince Edward. Island," much along
the lines of "Summer Over the -British
Isles," presented with marked suc-
cess by the British Broadcasting Cor-
poration.
The unit is equipped with two ultra
shont-wave portaible pack sets. These
sets, which can 'be carried on the
backs of commentators, can transmit
:up to a distance of three quarters of
a mile. The (broadcast can Ibe picked
picked up by a special ultra short-
wave receiver in the unit and then fed
Ank_to 'the network. For 'broadcasts orig-
Illillirinating in places .where tthe unit can-
not be taken, a portable 40 watt
transmitter, capable of radiating +up
to a distance of 50 miles, +can 'be used.
The unit also can +broadcast while in
- motion. !Electrical power for the op-
eration .of the limit :when not nea an
e ordinary +source of supply +oan be gen-
t crated Iby a gasoline genenator in the
thank compartment of the towing car.
This oan supply 12,10100 watts power,
equivalent to the (60 .cycle in com-
mercial use.
The van, which weighs 3,300
pounds, is completely 'Shielded by cop-
per +screening to .eliminate +electro-
static and other foreign interference.
Internally it is treated with rock -wool
for acoustic .absorption to 'correct in-
ternal reverberationand to reduce
pick-up of extraneous noises from the
microphone. The ceiling and all walls
are covered, +with heavily perforated
ply-woed. Fully equipped inside for
the oomfort of the +engineers and 'com-
mentators, the unit possesses pullman
seats wh1h can the convertedinto a
double bed.
,Roy Cahoon, 'chief special events
engineer, is in charge of the unit and
is assisted by +Percy Field, assistant
engineer, Both are now en route to
Danfa,R. T, 1(Bah) Bowman, Director
of Special Events, is +expected to
leave for Banff the latter ,part ,of next
week.
Many Requests for "Nocturne" Poem
Perhaps the 00051 frequent requests
that reach the 013C's Halifax studios
is far copies of the poen] with which
J'. Frank Willis 'begins his "Atlantic
Nocturne" programme beard over the
national network on Sundays, 10 to
1110v30 EDST. The poem is
ogled "Atlantic Nocturne," and was
written by Mr. Willis, originator of
the programme.
.AITLANTIC NOC'DURNIE
When .the grey of the night -oreeps
out of the east
And the salt of the sea smells cold,
And away in the west the evening has
died
With a last brief gift of gold—
Then the rolling long -Shore hills
stretch out
In an arabesque of +blue
And the soft friendly glow of candle-
light
In the cottage's 'calls to you
To come and dream—to 'forget the
day
And its cares—and the munaring tide
taiee you adventuring down the
world
In your chair by ,the 'fireside,
Or bring to you with.its mist of night,
The mood 'for quiet thought,
Or sing to you with its low soft voice
A tune that you'd almost forgot.
For there is -a verse, or a melody,
Or arthough.t for everyone
In the Nocturne .tilte old Atlantic
sings
To the shore when day is done.
"OBC Summer Theatre"
'"Sentll Her Victorious," Philip
Johnson's farcical comedy in one act,
will 'be produced Iby games Harvey
from the Toronto studios of the 'CRC
as the .next in a ,Series of light dra-
matic presentations, "The 'CDC Sum-
mer Theatre," Thursday, June 23, at
8.30 p.m., EDST. .
The .play, which was •first produced
at ‘..the Playhouse, Liverpool, in 1934,
'is a hilarious piece :dealing with the
reunion, after ten years, of two old
fri4nds who 'have married in the in-
terval. George and Este +Card'ew ar-
rive on a visit to Edward and Marion
Tracey and soon the visitors learn
that Marion is a bit of a problem to
clear old Edward, romping home
every now and again .aglow with the
excitement 'of a new lad.
The scene opens in a dharming
home in Hampstead where the 'baffled
husband and his guests await Mar-
ion's return from a session, with a
Professor •of Reincarnation. She
sweeps into t'he room announcing
that she, and no one else, was once
Elizabeth of England. The plot to
cure Marion of 'the halbit' provides
several merry scenes and +the play
winds up in a happy denouement, al-
ter much embarrassment for every-
one concerned but the lady who runs
to fads.

Standard Fertilizers
The standard fertilizer usually re-
commended for late potatoes, man -
gels, .and most late hoe crops, is the
formula 4-6410 (four parts of nitrogen
to eight of phosphoric acid and ten of
potash). This fertilizer certainly in-
creases the yields when properly used
on these crops. The rate of applica-
tion for potatoes is from 800 to :1;500
pounds per acre according to .the fer-
tility of the land, and for mangels
from 600 to 800 pounds per acre, in
addition to manure. 2-12-6 is general-
ly accepted as the fertilizer for grain
and corn and is as good as any for
beans and pastures.
tOf course, there are special types
of soil and some .crops that may do
better with fertilizers of different 'ana-
lyses than the above, but generally
speaking the 4-6-10 and '2412-6 are as
dependable as any for the above
crops,
The 'Provincial fertilizer councils
have gone into the detail of this, and
every farmer should have his copy of
the recommendations so as to be able
to buy and use fertilizers for +best re-
sults. Copies of the recommendations
may tbe obtained from the Depart-
ment
