The main objective is to mea- sure hunter success and to de- termine the sex and age class structure of the grouse popula- tion. Grouse hunters can assist by providing information about their hunts and by turning in wings and tails from bagged grouse. Any sportsman who would like to take part in the study is asked to contact his local conservation officer. New TV Antenna Offers Hope for "Fringe" Areas Television viewers throughout Canada who are plagued with poor TV reception because they live in weak, now have hope for better entertainment to come. Main réason for the break- through in reception is a success- ful research project which utitized the principle of Proportional En- ergy Absorption to give clearer, stronger, all-channel reception and deliver pictures free of "snow", "flickering", "ghosts"? and other difficulties associated with fringe area reception. The new antenna, called the Crossfire, has a design concept which permits the highly sensitive device to pull in desired signals with greater strength than ever before, while screening out un- wanted transmissions. The result is unprecedented picture power in areas where home television re- ception has been hampered by dis- tance from the transmitter or local terrain problems. Because of the new design con- cept, developed by Channel Master Corporation engineers, it is now possible for the first time to de- liver the antenna's maximum sig- nal strength on each channel on both high and low bands. In conventional antenna, for ex- ample, signal strength diminishes as it travels the length of the an- tenna and successive elements are able to draw only decreasing amounts of the available electro- magnetic energy transmitted by the TV station. With the Crossfire, Proportional Energy Absorption is employed to increase signal gath- ering strength of the successive elements, each of which gathers a greater amount of the available energy to match the original sig- nal taken in by the initial elements. Total picture power.thus deliver- ed to the set is substantially great- er as a result. The new antenna also has ex- tremely high front-to-back ratio for what engineers call "clean'"' gain. aay: fringe areas where signals are "Fhursday, October 5, 1961 In St. Patrick's R.C.-Churech Fa- ther M.

The Bible To-day "average Anglican' attends ce Pen regularly, but not a "doer", said "'You start my day, but help during the working hours also. One should read read one's Bible, but when busy in an office, I can't arrange that very well, bus I can dial a number and listen' a few moments. I've dialed that number when I've been lonely, depressed, tempted, needing an answer, then also when I count my blessings and am thankful."' This, a part of a letter receivect by the Rev. J. Thompson, Secree tary of Western Ontario District, of the Canadian Bible Society, ancl was written by a user of the daily Scripture reading service by tele phone .established in London, The invitation, "Telephone a number and hear a portion of the Word of God", was only moderately pub- licized. On two average days,' a year apart, 713 and 720 telephone calls, respectively, were complet» ed and 148 and 218 calls, respece tively, could not be completed bee cause the line was busy. The most number of calls were during the noon hour and the hours after school. The least use was made of this service between two and four p.m. A check on the calls also showed that the service was busy late at night and throughous the night Other letters, many from bust ness men, expressed gratitude for the service and for help receivect from hearing the Bible verses in many of the stressful situations: of life.
