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

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
