MAKING PROGRESS ON CONSTRUCTION pected to be Completed "Within Next Three Weeks Work on the clear water well at the pumping station at Oshawa-on- the-Lake, is proceeding steadily. Over one-third of the concrete has been poured, and three weeks should see the completion of the job, it was stated this morning by City Engineer, W, C. Smith, This clear well is being con- structed as a part of the unemploy- ment relief program. It will in- 1 crease the reserve supply of wa- lons, which will greatly increase the safety factor in case of em- ergency. The new clear well and {3 the tank on Simcoe street north, combined, will give the city a re- serve supply of 1,000,000 gallons, half of which will be under pres- sure in the uptown tank and half available fer use when it is neces- sary to use the emergency pumps, . eral Motors of Canada, Bi g Construction Job Is Ex- owe on the air over 25 stations An outstanding event in Can- adian radio will take place with Limited, rom coast to coast in the first of a seriés of regular weekly pro- grams.

As an {llustra- tion of the efforts made to obtain complete coverage, Station WIR at Detroit, - has been {included to reach the people of Essex and Wes- tern Ontario, Mr. Herring explained that while General Motors realized newspap- ers were the primary and most forceful means of presenting the company's messages to the public, radio had been adopted as a sup- plementary medium, without cute ting into newspaper or other ap- propriations for advertising. The programs, in fact, will be unique in their total lack of advertising messages and will merely contain the announcement of spgnsorship. Newspapers will contifiuve to be the backbone of General Motors advertising and the broadcasts had been undertaken, he sald, as a means of building up good-will and _of stimulating a more pro- found interest in things Canadian. The character of the programs was determined upon after extensive research for a type of Dhroadcast which would render a distinctly national service, as well as prove instructive and entertaining. as in the case of a big fire, .

Television should be an accomp- lished fact within the next, three or four years, was the assertion of Allan Oxley, radio engineer for the Williams Piano Co. Ltd, in an ad- dress before the Oshawa Kiwanis Club yesterday. Television was not yet practical, Mr, Oxley said, and there was just one link missing. That was a sub- stitute for the light valve that has been used in the experiment up to now but which is not wholly satig- factory. However, there were 300 engineers in this continent spending their whole time in the study of tele- vision, and lre was confident that it would be made a part of all radio sets within four years.

Upon this emphatic note of tion, Oshawa, like 'Toronto, Oakville Hamilton and Kingston, may some day possess a yacht club. Command- ing as it does a fine situation on Lake Ontario, and with a population of 25000 people, there is no reason why a city of this size could not boast an organization of this kind, Yachting, everyone will agree, is one of the most fascinating sports and there are few things in life which of- fer more thrills or solid enjoyment than to beat down the lake in a sloop or yaw! "with a wet sheet and a flowing sea." : What may constitute the first step in the formation of a yacht club is a meeting which is being held in the Chamber of Cominerce board rooms tonight, All who are interested in aquatic sports are invited to attend and to take part in the discussion, BAIL ALLOWED IN SEDUCTION CASE tention, shop of Mr. Shestowsky on Bloor try, is being taken by those who beg for a meal from door to Goor, was shown in the city on Tuesday.
