TODAY and
TOMORROW
RADIO
'Maybe I won't live to see it, but
the time is bound to come when radio,
as we know it today, will be super
seded by a vastly more efficient meth
od of broadcasting. That time will
come when every home, or practically
every one, has telephone or electric
light wires running to It, For every
thing which is done by radio today
can be done far more effectively over
iyj*es.
jRadio is wonderful because it can
go places where the wires dont run,
where it wouldn't pay to rim wires.
Bfot wherever the wires rim, people
dijn't use radio for sending messages.
The wires are more dependable, less
subject to interference by static arid
other conditions. That's why the
broadcasting chains are connected by
telephone wire.
Broadcasting over wires will be on
a different basis, when it comes. May
be'its cost will be included in yoUr
telephone or electric light bill. The
sarte wires can be used simultaneous
ly fbr many different things. rmsu4e
only that in fifty years, perhaps lets,
people will laugh at their grandpar
ents'?(that's us)?contntment with
anything so crude as radio.
? ? o
TELEVISION
In that future time our broadcast
receiving sets will have some sprt pf
a screen, like the ones in the movie
theatres, on which we will see the
entertainers while they are broad
casting. We'll be able to sit at home
and watch a big-league ball game
while it is actually being played, see
the stage and the actors while listen
ing to grand opera, or watch Charlie
McCarthy while Eddie Bergen makes
him talk.
Television is still "around the corn
er," but it's beginning to peek out. I
saw a perfect demonstration of tele
vision ten years ago. It was done oyer
a telephone wit*. JU^o's ^ttempta
nave not produced very satisfactory
results so far, but television Will be
here, available in every home, in an?
other fifty years.
When televsion has ence become
fully established it will fciiftg about
geeat changes in innumerable ways.
Advertisers broadcasting their sa|es
talks will be able to show plotures
of their products to everybody. That
will mean a great change in the
technique of selling goods of all kinds.
This is going to be a much different
world, fifty years from now.
PICTURES
It Is already easy and getting easier
every day to transmit pictures, by
radio or wire?better by wire?over
thousands of miles. That is not tele
vision, any more than sending a
photograph of something which hap
pened an hour, a day or a week ago
in television. Television means see
ing the thing when it actually hap
pens. But the art of transmitting
pictures by wire has become so per
fected that a large proportion of news
paper pictures are sent from one place
to another that way. It takes only
ten minutes to wire a large photo
graph from coast to coast.
That process will be simplified and
cheapened, too, so that ? everybody
can use'it It is possible today, be
tween certain cities, for anyone to go
into a Western Union office with the
snapshot he made this morning, and
telegraph the actual picture. Some
day telegrams back home from travel
lers arid vacationists may regularly
be accompanied by photographs of
the sights they have seen.
Already one can send a telegram
so it will be transmitted in his own
handwriting. I've dew it.
* * *
FACSIMILE
Facsimile telegraphy, which means
telegraphing an exact copy of the
original message, is being done by
radio as well as by telegraph. Any
thing which can be reproduced in
black and white can be transmitted
in facsimile. The possible uses of
this gra.immeasurable. ^It is usd al
ready t? Send PQPieg of legal
docufpenta. in a hurry, to forward
"rush" advertising copy to newspa
pers, and; I telieve, to rush finger
prints and pictures of criminals to
police authorities, to help identify a
suspect 4g>0er arrest. ; (
j The beauty of facsimile telegraphy
is that there is no chance of mis

this week.
o
Petitions demanding an election in
Jackson county on the question of es
tablishing one or more liquor stores
in the county, are being circulated
among the voters, with the view of
bringing the question to a head and
letting the people say whether or not
this county is to continue under the
present prohibition regime, with the
licensing of the sale of beer and wine,
or whether there is to be established
one or more county liquor stores, to
dispense hard liquors, and the be?r
and wine dealers continue as they
are.
According to the act of the last
General Assembly, providing for the
' establishment of county liquor stores,
or as they are known, alcoholic bev
erage control stores, an election can
be ealled by the board of elections, if
and when it is petitioned to do so by
fifteen percent of the voters oi the
county. ( *
If the required number of names are
signed to the petitions, and if the
board of elections and county commis
sioners call the election, then the
people of the county would vote on
the question of liquor stores. If the
election should carry for liquor stores,
a county Control Board would be ap
pointed, to operate under the State
law and the direction of the State
Control Board, and as many stores as
the board deemd necessary would be
set up, in various parts of the county.
The profits from the sale of the liquor
would go to the county and the State.
The establishment of liquor stores,
Under the present law, would in no
vise affect the dealers in wines and
>eers, and they would continue to
tell these beverages; but the ABC
stores would carry all kinds of alco
tolic beverages.

BAL8AM

tiful sight, as it clung to the vari

t'Pfeaas Tb? To Pnfi S)
They are out after Bob Reynold's
scalp. Somebody has a mighty hank
ering to tack his hide to the barn
loor. The sides are lining up and
nanouvering for position, even if
he primary does not crane off until
next June.
Frank Hancock, representative in
Congress from the fifth district, which
is composed of the counties of Cas
well, Forsyth, Granville, Person,
Rockingham, Stoks and Surry, has
announced that he is a candidate for
the nomination to wear the toga now
on Bob's shoulders. "Farmer Bob"
Doughton, representative from the
ninth and Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House, who
has a powerful hold on the mountains
or the northwest, and whose name has
been frequently mentioned in connec
tion with a contest with Bob Rey
nolds, has stated that he will not be
a candidate; but that he is supporting
Mr. Hancock.
On the other hand, Cameron Mor
rison, who has also been suggested a8
a possible candidate, has stated that
he will not run; but that he thinks
Lhe people of North Carolina should
draft Gov. Hoey as the proper man
to defeat Reynolds and represent the
State in the Senate. Morrison was ap
pointed to the Senate by Governor
Gardner, but was defeated by Sena
tor Reynolds in a bitter primary.
It is rumord that the organization
has decided that Bob should be de
feated. Whether this rumor is true
or not, remains to be seen; but it per
sists in coming out of Raleigh. That
there are powerful forces in the State
who would like to see Bob defeated,
nobody will deny. That, among the
rank and file, there are also many
who do not care for Bob as a Senator,
is undoubtedly true. On the other
hand, nobody can be found who will
say that Senator Reynolds has not a
large personal following in the State,
that he is popular with a large num
ber of voters, and that he is well able
to make a good showing for himself
in any political contest.
So far, Representative Hancock is
the ortly avowed candidate against
Senator Reynolds, and he lives so far
east, that most of the voters in thte
part of the State know little or noth
ing about him. However, the part of
the State from which he halls is the
region where the votes grow in pro
fusion, and the race will prove an
interesting one.
It has been suggested that some
body who can garner a goodly num
ber of votes in the Southwest may be
trotted out, to take away from Bob's
strength. That, clearly, would give
Mr. Hancock a better chance.
The suggestion of Senator Morrison
that Governor Hoey be forced into
the race, would certainly complicate
the entire situation; and it is generally
conceded that one strong, genuine
candidate would have a better chance
of unseating the Junior Senator, than
would two or more.
Cullowhee To Meet Boone In
Home-Coming Atraction
September 6
The football game between tha
Catamounts and the Gridmen of Ap
palachian State Teachers College of
Boon, will be the main attraction of
the Home-coming Day program that
is to be staged at Cullowhee Saturday,
September 6.
Boone is reported to have one of
the best teams it has had in recent
years and reports seem to bear this
out the difference in the two teams
never seem to make any difference
to the bunch of Catamounts at Cul
lowhee and this year is no exception.
The boys are already talking about
.he game and are sure that they can
hold Boone to a much closer scant
than most of the teams that Boone hat
played this year have been able to.
Cullowhee started the season rath
jr slowly but they have been improv
ing steadily and right now are in tha
best condition that the team has been
this year. They are in Just, the shapo
right now to upset the dope bucket.
Cullowhee won over East Carolina
Teachers College last Saturday at
Greenville and ar looking for ncir,

time that the Catamounts have bam
able to get their running attack
straightened but since they have dsn*

games including the Boone game.
