'f Plan New Programs
For Radio Station
WEAK Given Permission to Be On
Air More Hours  and to
Change Wave Length.
A greater service to the people of
Michigan has been made possible
from radio station WKAR by the
Federal Communications Commission
granting an increased number of daylight operating hours and of permission to change the frequency assignment. The change in frequency
will not be made until January 14,
but the program changes will be
made immediately. The new frequency will be 850 kilocycles.
Headlining the new programs,
Governor Frank D. Fitzgerald will
speak each Friday at 4:45 p. m. In
this "Governor's Hour," Gov. Fitzgerald will discuss affairs of state
government of interest to all the
people of Michigan. The Dept. of
State will broadcast messages in connection with the state-wide safety
campaign with Orville Atwood," secretary of state, as the first speaker
on January 10. The State Dept. of
Public Instruction will conduct a
teachers' hour each Thursday. Dr.
Eugene B. Elliott, state superintendent, will open this series. The
state police will describe the work
of the police both in criminal detection and in civil protection. The
State Dept. of Agriculture and the
State Highway Dept. will continue
their   broadcasts.
For those interested in education,
the Michigan State College of the
Air provides six courses by radio.
Three 'broadcasts each week direct
from the classroom will be made of
the '.course Survey of -English Literature. Spanish lessons will continue
with Prof. J. O. Swain conducting
the course. -New courses include
Rural Sociology, "Farm Electrification, Planning and Remodeling Farm
Buildings, and Child Development.
'Information .'and enrollment blanks
are now being sent to those who
wish  to  pursue these courses.
Many other new features are added to the programs, both in education and as entertainment. The high
schools of the state are being invited to participate with bands, orchestras, and glee clubs. A series
on vocational guidance will begin on
Jan. 13, with Pres. R. S, Shaw of
Michigan State College as the first
speaker. An early morning program
is to be given daily at 6:00 A. M.
Special events, such as Farmers Week
meetings, are being scheduled.
Program bulletins containing the
complete schedule are available ta
all radio listeners on request to WKAR. The increased schedule will enable the station to serve the state
with education, government and
entertainment.
"Contacts" Being
Routed For 1936
New TB Talking Picture Has Been
Shown 88 Times and Those Wishing to Show It Must Speak Soor
Popularity of its new talking picture, "Contacts," definitely established, the Michigan Tuberculosis
sso elation is preparing plans for
routing- the film through the state
during 1936. Officials of the association announce that in 8S showings
made thus far more than 21,000 persons have viewed the picture.
Portraying graphically the ease
with which tuberculosis is spread
from one person to another and the
necessity for tuberculin tests and
chest X-rays, "Contacts" has been
in constant demand since the association acquired the film a few weeks
ago. Requests for showings have
been received from schools, social
and civic organizations of all kinds,
church groups and various health
units, it is reported.
The 20-minute film opens with the
death of a small child from tuber-
culos's and continues with the search
that is made for the spreader of the
disease. When the source is finally
located, through the aid of the tuberculin test and the X-ray, the need
for modern sanatorium treatment is
demonstrated. The film is concluded
with a review of the modern weapons
which are today being employed in
the fight against tuberculosis.
Theodore J. Werle, executive secretary of the Michigan Tuberculosis
Association, declares "Contacts" to
be one of the most effective of
health education pictures.
"This film," said Mr. Werle,
"points out in no uncertain manner
the dangers to which all of us are
exposed every day. It is an excellent
example of the tremendously important part that is being played in the
fight against tuberculosis by the tuberculin test, the chest X-ray and
modern sanatorium treatment. "Contacts" is a' picture which should be
viewed by every adult and child in
Michigan/"
Mr. Werle invites requests for
showings of the film. He urges that
they be submitted at once to the office of the Michigan Tueberculosis
Association, Lansing,  Michigan.
With the exception of the street
lights Chelsea was in darkness for
more than four hours Monday night
when a short circuit cut off the current. The lights were out before 7
o'clock and the trouble was not located until after 11. It was finally
discovered that the trouble was
caused by a short circuit in one of
the lighting arresters and when they
were all disconnected the lighting
svstem functioned perfectly. It is
believed by workmen from the municipal light plant that the defective
arrester is in the vicinity of the
Motl-i'-'i'Kt OW People's Home—Chelsea Standard.

That Scouting activities in Washtenaw and Livingston counties are
booming was indicated in the reports
made at the annual Council meeting
held at the Michigan Union in Ann
Arbor on Monday evening, Dec. 9.
"During the first 11 months of 1935
a total of 1,351 boys have been enrolled aS Cubs and Scouts in the
various groups in. this Council,"
Scout Executive Walter MacPeek
said. '"345 Sew tenderfoot scouts
have been added and although the
Cubbing program is Mew 35 hoys
have so far 'been registered and this
figure will soon pass the 100 mark.
"More 'troops are needed to take
care of more boys -Who "want to enroll," Mr. MacPeek said, '"and we
need- also to have still 'better troops
in order that Tx>ys may stay in
Scouting for a full 4-year experience."
The Council training camp to be
conducted during the summer of 1936
was pointed out as one of the ways
of strengthening all phases of
Scouting during the year ahead.

"It would be unfair to those who

At the same time, Auditor Genera!
