Facsimile Broadcasts Introduced To Canada Facsimile broadcasting was official- ly introduced to Canada an March 24 when the radio committee of the House of Commons witnessed the first Canadian demonstration at' the invitation of Leonard W. Brooking - ton, 'IC.C., Chairman of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Tltis de- monstration of the transmission and visual reproduction of printed words, 'sketches and photographs by radio - waves took place' in the .committee room !before some 200 spectators, in- cluding among them cabinet minist- ers, members of the Senate, the Radio Committee, ,officials of the CBC and others. The -"newspaper page" trans- mitted, of three -column size, consist- ed .of the CBC -"Masthead," a state- ment by the General Manager per- taining to the activities of the Corp- oration, programme highlights, Can- adian Press news only about an hour old, a cartoon and photographs, The demonstration was a decided success although the equipment was installed only on the day of the demonstration. The set-up, therefore, was entirely of a temporary nature. It is estimated that there are already several hund- red radio facsimile. receivers through"- out hroughh"- out North America and sales are said to be mounting rapidly, In essence, radio facsimile is a method by' which the color shades used in printing or print, photographs or cartoons, can be changed into electrical impulses and sent to a suitable receiver, at- tached to an ordinary receiving set, there to be re -transformed into its SWEEP CAPORAL "The p fern ie which, tobacco eon ha inched" unte m We /Are Selling Quality .Books Books are Well .

Dr. Frank Buchman, leader and founder of the Oxford Group, has re- cently 'arrived from England where the ,programme .for "Moral Rearma- ment" has reached national - propor—tions. He is visiting several Canadian cities in response to a Dominion -wade •detn'aud, and will' be !heard in a special interview 'by R. T. 'Bowman over the CBC national network Saturday, Ap- ril 29th, 7 to 7)115 p.m. In September, during the time .of the, crisis, Dr. Buchman took ,leadership at the Moral Rearmament Assetnb'ly in In- terlaken, Switzerland, attended by 2000 people from 4S countries. D•r. Buchman, who was born in Penns - burg, Pa., has worked 'ceaselessly for moral and spiritual rearmament from the time of the Great War. Dr. Buch- man is accompanied by H. W. "Baut- ny" Austin, England's top-ranking Davis Cup tennis player and over 50 other British and Scandinavian rep- resentatives. The formal opening of CRC's new .59,900 -watt transmitter, ORA, at Sackville, N.B., on Apr. 8, marked another step in the plans of the Can- adian Broadcasting Corporation to give extensive radio coverage to all parts of the Dominion. When GBK, a station identical in type, is opened at Watrous, Sask., in June, the CBC will have in operation four modern high- power transmitters in as many main geographical areas of Canada. Even in Toronto CBA has been received with good volume and clarity. The in- augural programme was ,opened by Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Trans- port, speaking from Ottawa. He was, followed by tile. Premier .of the three Maritime ,provinces who paid tribute to the rale CBA will play increasing the contact and understanding of the peoples of Eastern Canada with those of the Prairies and the West. Han. Mr, Howe said in part: " ... I am. proud to speak at the inauguration of this Maritime station situated at Sack- ville, N.B. Programme service has not been the best in the Maritimes, but this station will carry all over the Maritimes The programmes will con- sistsome of the Maritime talent. I take great pleasure in opening the new CBA at Sackville, N,B." 3,1r. Leonard W, Brockington, ' K.C., Chairman of the Board of Governors of the CBC stated: "This is the first station on the North American conti- nent that has been built without thought of revenue or profit to serve a region. rather than a densely popu- lated area, It is a contribution made by the people of Canada (including, of course, the people of,5the Maritime Provinces themselves), to public ser- vice broadcasting. Its opening, to be followed, by the opening of the new 50,000 -watt Prairie station at Wats rens, Saskatchewan, an June 115, would have been impossible without national radio, It, therefore. marks the beginning of the realization of a vis- ion which inspired the early pioneers who made national broadcasting pos- sible and whose names deserve honor in your lips and in your hearts."

Those Kinloss Township "Wolves" Kinloss township "wolves" that ra- vaged sheep flocks in the township last year to the extent of O$60100 are far from extinct, although they have not 'been featured in the news during the winter months. Dennis 'Kenny re- cently discovered a dell of them its an old barn at theback of his !farm, loc- ated in tile centre of an area where much sheet, destruction occurred last year. Since the discovery, Mr. (Kenny has beet endeavoring to trap the oc- •cupants of the den, and a 'few days ago .his efforts were successful, when he trapped and caught three of a lit- ter of dour "wolf" pups. At, the time he discovered the den, •the mother of the pack dashed away, and was out of gun -Shot range before the sur- prised man had a chance to get his gun into action. Traps have since been set at the mouth of the lair, leading under a hay mow, but the old "wolf" has 'been too cunning to be caught. However, one of the young .pups was trapped and its yelps brought two of the other young ones from their hole, and Mr. Kenny cut off their escape and was able to' catch them. A fourth one only vend tared to the ntottth of the den and, scurried back to safety. The trapped animal was -destroyed, but the other, pair are live captives. They resemble' collie :pups to some degree, but their. webbed feet differ widely from those of a dog and are similar to the feet of the full-grown "'wolves" which 1 were shot last year in the township, I but which were claimed by officials of the Department of Game and Fish-' eries not to be Wolves, and on which the Government -bounty was not, pant.—Lucknow Sentinel, In Division Court—.
