SCISSORS AND PASTE :
FM Receivers Carry Both Old And New Bands (Larry Wolters, Radio Editor, "Chicago Tribune")
"An exceedingly compact table model, incorporating both the old 50 and the new 100 megacycle FM bands as well as the 550,1,600 kilocycle stretch for standard broadcasting stations, has been devel¬ oped by the Zenith Radio Corporation.
"It is as small as many pre-war table sets tuning only standa.rd stations. The tone is surprisingly good for the size. It employs a * line take-off* that is, the FM radio signals are picked up thru the electric power lines, eliminating the need for outside antenna. Thus, it can be moved around handily like any portable standard set. In pre-war days special antennas were required for FM sets to obtain good reception.
"This development is the result of an observation by E. F. McDonald, Jr., president of the company. While testing an FM set in a car one day, he noticed that when he passed under a viaduct with lots of steel overhead, the FM signals came in clear and strong, altnough the voice of a standard radio disappeared. He conjectured that the steel served as an antenna for FM and reasoned that perhaps electric conduits would work similarly. That proved to be the case. "

("Motion picture Daily")
Bringing television into the American home will not serve as a threat to the motion picture industry, in the ooinion of William T. Powell, Manager of a Pittsfield, Mass., theatre, who addressed the Rotary Club of Less, Mass. , recently.
"I believe theatres will still operate because of crowd psychology", he said. He predicted television theatres will bring many events to theatre goers.
