RADIO IS STLLL POOR STUFF

Radio reception continues very Noor ind irregular in this district Some ire able to get the Premier’s speeches luit the majority only get parts of it. As for the ‘news - broadcasts they are very seldom heard and the little tin pan broadcasting station at Vancou- ver rarely gets the Canadian Radio Commission programs beyond Tnglish Ray oar Granville St.

Premier Bennett stated in one of his recent addresses that with the re-or-

eauization of the civil service, now in Progress, a "department. of communi- eittion would be set up. ‘This depart- ment would bandle telegraph, — tele- phone and radio and other means of conuntnication, Any change would he fer the letter, Apparently the men responsible for radio now are not hig enough for the job Their outlook scems to be toa cramped.

YOU HAVE iT IN YOU

So many times. we hear conversa- on street corners to the effect “Ob, I eness it just isn't in me to make good” A young man said the other day, “Yes fies are picking: up. Most of my friends who were out of work ate £0- ins back. But there is nothing doing for me” Some of the readers of The inuineea Herald may have felt that sme way. While we do not believe in saiding anyone for the simple reason that we cannot convelve of ourselves lwing bullied into ‘being better, still

there is food for. thonght in something .

whieh’ was sald, ‘yeoently by a’ young man who is: ‘making: himself very de- finitely “wanted” by’ those for whom he is working. He said, I find that when the sales pickings are few and fur between, that there are so many people who say, “What's the use’ and sit down pining for better times, that the fact that ‘their dropping out makes the picking pretty good for those swill- dng to keep going with their eyes open’

This young man knew that the per- son needing to be convinced that there better possibilities ahead is the one who needs those’ possibllities, Jt is onr firm conviction that nearly half a loaf for. the man who than half a loafer.. And half is better than none, You have it in you to do something. Possibly you may have to invent: a job while the world is going through this transition periad, ” Some ane bas to invent new jobs, Why wait for another to do it and then have to wait for him?) We are all en- dowed with unused abilities and ideas. You have it in you to do something. Sing this thought to yourself... Hum It te yourself until you come to believe It. You know that when hunting for a joh working for someone else yon
