Cartrette of Tabor City, North Carolina is a mem ber of the Harvard Radio Net work which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this month. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago Prep. School. The Harvard Radio Network, which operates station WHRB, has risen in the past decade from a tentative experiment to a posi tion of prominence and influence throughout the many units of the nation's oldest.university. A member of the1 Ivy Network and the Inter-Collegiate Broad casting system, WHRB began in 1939 as the pet idea of an eager freshman, Kenneth I. Richter of Bridgowater, Massachusetts. He managed to interest William W. Tyng of Jamaica Plain. Massa chusetts, who was an editor of the Harvard Crimson, powerful undergraduate daily newspaper. Tyng, in turn, convinced the col lege newspaper to back the un dertaking, and the project was launched with the name of the "Crimson Radio Network." Broadcasting was variously at tempted through steampipes. by a wire copper conductor run a round the base of a rain gutter, and at last, by the system now in use, through the University elec trical system. In 1943 WHRB broke away from the Crimson, and by 1945 it had paid off its debts. In 1946 a non-advertising agreement with the Crimson was dissolved, and the station stood on its own feet as an independent business organization. The organization, entirely man aged by its 55 undergraduate members, provides an unexcelled method of learning th<? radio business the practical way. Stu dents handle completely the fin ancial responsibility, production, technical direction, and script writing, all co-ordinated under the watchful eye of the cver-pres en.t Western Union clock to which all must conform. The station's position is solid now. To celebrate its tenth birth day, station manager Marcus White '51, head of the organiza tion, inauguaratcd Studio "B." a large audience participation type studio, built entirely by ι — 3 «/»wirti'Hii'nrr lof _ llll'iuuuio· aiiu wtivuuu.ip, est acoustical innovations for sound perfection. The Network's quarters in Dudley Hall contain over $10,000 worth of plant and equipment, mostly created from a large quanity of seemingly use loss war surplus by student tech nicians. Broadcasting 11 hours a day during the week and eight hours on Saturday and Sunday, the station now reaches every part of the University's Cambridge establishment - including under graduate Houses. Freshman dormitories, graduate domitories and even some laboratories-witn live shows, recordings, latest na tional and college news, and spe cial features. Recent innovations have in cluded installation of a trunk switching system which allows the Harvard station to do joint broadcasts with nearby Radio Radcliffe of Radcliffe College. Present members of the Net word are: Conrad R. Docnges, a junior, of 1912 North Tejon Street, Colo rado Springs, Colorado. Robert Morris, a freshman, of Abbe Road, Hazardville. Con necticut.

AN APOLOGY The Tribune does not like to crowd its advertising and to shorten its news coverage as it has been forced to do in this is sue. However, in that our en tire staff is young and highly likely to feel the effects of nation al mobolization into the armed services before another Christ mas rolls around, we closed our doors long enough to allow everyone to enjoy the holiday season at home.

Paramount's "Tripoli", which op ens Sunday and Monday at the New Tabor Theatre, is a slam bang action thriler starring Mau reen O'Hara, John Payne anc* Howard da Silva. Filmed in breathtaking color by Technicolor, the picture is a blazing account of the most amaz ing exploits in the Marine Corps annuals— the story of Lieutenant Pressley O.Brannon. who organi zed and led an army across 60C miles of danger-fraught desert in 1805 to attack the stronghold of the Barbary pirates. Superbly photographed against background of burning desert 5and, the fabulous splendor of Arab hideaways, "Tripoli" is spectacular entertainment from the first scene right through to ilosing minutes. And much of the jredit for its success goes to dir ector Will Price who kept the action moving at breakneck speed. Kf, w, ανν,ηι^ OUJA1 iiHVii dent of the Atlantic Coastline Railroad that operates the local branch line, announced this week that the schedule of trains mak ing the Tabor City run has been changed, effective January 1. Much criticism of the freight service into and out of Tabor City by local merchants and Th( Tribune in recent months had brought to the company's atten tion the inadequacy of the ser vice and prompted the revision of the schedule. Henceforth, that is as of Jan uary 1, the train serving Tabor City will leave Chadbourn at l6:00 A. M. daily, make its run to Myrtle· Beach and return through Tabor City. This change is expectcd to eliminate the er ratic schedule of the last few months during which time the freight made a run through here to Florence, S. C. The shorter distance is expected to keep the train on schedule and thereby eliminate the problem of proper ly locating care for unloading each day. On the old schedule, the train on many occasions was nor able to place the cars for unloading even after their arrival here and caused considerable loss of time to local merchants who were a waiting incoming shipmncts. A. E. Goldfinch, president of the merchants association, said this week "I am mighty happy that the Coastline has seen fit to listen to our complaints and to make what appears to be the pro per steps to remedy the .' ituation. They have cooperated in every way since we notified them of our dissatisfaction and we appre ciate their efforts in trying to work out a suitable schedule. The ACL has always been very cooperative in every way in Tab or City and their efforts in this situation emphasizes that they still appreciate the business which they receive in Tabor City and along this branch line." Rogers said "We have wanted to better the service ever since it became evident that you weren't receiving the service that you felt you deserved. We have many friends along this line and want to do everything possible to serve them in the best way possible." Carolina Department Store Employees Are Entertained Here S. P.

"Joan Of Arc " To Show At Ritz Theatre One of history's most inspiring climatic events, the epic crusade of "Joan of Arc" is brought to the screon staring Ingrid Berg man in a Victor Fleming product ion in color by Technicolor. The career of the intripid Maid of New Orleans whose faith and devotion triumphed over the En glish armies and made her the world's best known heroine, is presented on a lavish scale.

This epic is coming son to the Ritz Theatre.
