Come Early While Selection Is Good Phone 192 54 Ontario Street Avoid Trouble With Radio by Proper Care What is more annoying than to have the radio fade out in the middle of the news or crackle through the family's favorite show? Radios are hard to replace and radio repair men hard to get hold of but many minor troubles can be easily avoided or remedied. The experts say: Static may be caused by the aerial rubbing against a tree or other out- side wires; by a loosely connected ground wire or by a loose connection in a nearby lamp or other electric ap- pliance. The position of a radio in the room affects its life and the quality of the reception. The radio should not be placed directly in front of a window or radiator for it suffers from changes in temperature or humidity. It should be placed at least an inch from the wall for if air cannot circulate freely around the radio it can become over- heated. In a long narrow room most satisfactory tone is obtained if the radio is placed on an end wall. The travel of the sound waves should not be obstructed by having furniture di- rectly in front of the loud speaker.

Snow Geese Form Stri Flocks of Greater Snow Geese which assemble on the St. Lawrence River below Quebec City for the last lap of their autumn migration present a striking sight as they feed along the shores, or fly in long lines across the river. Since 1900, when only 3,000 of them remained, a steady increase has built up the present population, which, ac- cording to estimates from provincial and federal authorities, is about ,30,000 birds. *These beautiful white geese with black-tipped wings are called "Greater than their Waveys" of the mid-west. relatives, the 'White They nest Arctic Islands and in northern Green- lantic coast from Maryland to North Carolina. During migration, in spring and autumn, all the Greater Snow Geese in existence gather on the St. Lawrence River between Cap Tour- mente and Cap St. Ignace, where they arouse considerable interest. Often a few Blue Geese accompany them. Their remarkable recovery from near-extinction is attributed to pro- tection in both Canada and the United States, and to a series of successful nesting seasons in the far north.
