Latin American Radio LIKE their North American confreres, practically all the radio stations in South America, with the exception of those that are government-owned, carry broadcast advertising, according to Trade Information Bulletin No. 771 ("Broadcast Advertising in Latin America," Government Printing Office, Washington, 10 cents) compiled by E. D. Schutrumpf of the Specialties Division, Department of Commerce, from the reports of American representatives in Latin America. Rates vary as widely as they do in this country, the bulletin reveals, but radio advertising is gaining as more receiving sets are sold. Washington Visitors* Carl Meyers, WGN, Chicago.

How Jack Frost Changed {Continued from page 11) spirit of a rollicking Overture of old Hungary, as Mr. Ormandy brings us "The Hungarian Lustspeil Overture," by Keler Bela. 4. Hungarian Lustspeil Overture K. Bela Orchestra Tonight Lucien Schmidt, our artist of the cello, leaves his accustomed place in the orchestra to play for us his interpretation of "Fond Recollections," by Popper. 5. Fond Recollections D. Popper Cello Solo — L. Schmidt Havrilla — To the angler, there's a great satisfaction in landing a twelve-inch trout. To the ball player, there's a greater satisfaction in knocking a home run w,th the bases full, and, of course, to the golfer, there's a supreme satisfaction in making a hole in one. Whatever your sport may be, there is a satisfaction in topping the field. Some of us can do it one day, and some can do it constantly. In the latter class we find the champions. They are champions because they know how, and "knowing how" is the secret of success in any endeavor. The National Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey Knows how to refine sugar. Its three great plants are manned by expert chemists and analysts who know how to transform raw sugar into the Quality products that are packaged and sealed under the Jack Frost name. Jack Frost sugars are rigidly tested ninety-eight times daily, for quality and purity. When next you buy sugar, ask for it by name, "Jack Frost." For your iced drinks, fruits and cereals, we suggest Jack Frost Fruit Powdered Sugar. It dissolves instantly. It melts into fresh fruits and berries, developing their luscious flavors to the full. This especially prepared sugar is really a triumph of refining. Finer than the finest granulated, this brilliant free-running sugar is almost like smooth powdered sugar. It is the only Jack Frost sugar in a light blue box. Try it. Ask your grocer for JACK FROST FRUIT POWDERED SUGAR. Like all other Jack Frost Sugars, it is 100% pure cane _ _ _ the quality sugar of America. The Melody Moments will continue in just a minute. (Station Break). We resume the Jack Frost Sugar Melody Moments with a new fox-trot called "Up and Down the Hill." 6. Up and Down the Hill Williams Fox-Trot — Orchestra Children often get cross in the heat of the good old summer-time. Oliver Smith has a very soothing song for children of all ages. It's called "Baby Ballad," by John Kessler. 7. Baby rallad J. Kessler Solo — Oliver Smith Florenz Ziegfeld has done it again. After an absence of four years he has produced another of his famous "Ziegfeld Follies." The Follies of 1931 is more gorgeous and elaborate than any he has shown heretofore. Besides beautifully glorified girls, his show includes some fine music. Here's the big dance hit called "Do the New York." 8. Do the New York Oakland Fox-Trot — Orch esta Just for the sake of contrast let us go back a few years to the Ziegfeld Follies of other days. The time is 1919. The Follies are about to start as the Orchestra plays a medley of the hit tunes. 9. Selections from follies of 1919 Buck and Stamper Orchestra — Vocal "Tulip time in Holland" 10. (theme). As the lights on the marquee over the theatre grow dim, and the first nighters wend their merry way homeward, Little Jack Frost wants to whisper a sweet secret to you. When next you order sugar think of him — "Jack Frost." Your grocer has it in all its varieties. Buy it from him and enjoy the utmost in sugar refinement. Jack Frost Sugars are distinctive in every way. They are PROPERLY REFINED AND PROPERLY PACKED IN SANITARY SEALED CARTONS, untouched by human hands. There is a kind for every purpose. Each is 100% pure cane sugar — the Quality Sugar of America. Your announcer is Alois Havrilla, bidding you "Good night." Policing the Ether HOW Uncle Sam polices the wave lengths is described in the new booklet "Radio Activities of the Department of Commerce," published by the Government Printing Office, 10 cents. Containing a resume of the work of the Radio Division, the Bureau of Standards, the Bureau of Lighthouses and all Department of Commerce agencies having to do with radio, the booklet also for the first time gives a detailed description of the new Grand Island, Neb., monitoring station. Twenty years of Federal radio regulation are covered, dating back to the creation of the Division in 1911. Log Changes Available MONTHLY changes in the official log of broadcasting stations as published February 2, 1931, have been issued by the Federal Radio Commission. A dozen stations are changed either as to call letters, assignments or ownerships. The Commission also has issued a new list of police radio stations. These may be procured by writing the secretary of the Commission. October 15, 1931 • BROADCASTING Page 33
