REDUCE INTERFERENCE
LOOftiT, IS Hi Dr
NEW RIO CLUB
“Reduce reception interference
to a minimum", was the slogan of
the active group of local radio set
owners who met in the Arcade club
rooms last night to organize for
the purpose of dealing with the
disturbances. After forming a per
manent organization to which F.
E. Leslie was elected president and
Segt. Lawrence, secretary, the club
tackled the business at hand.
Mr. E. P. Harwood, familiar with
the manner in which residents of
Cordova successfully solved simi
lar difficulties recently, was asked
by Chairman Leslie to begin the
discussion. Mr. Harwood explain
ed that radio fans in Cordova suc
ceeded in getting the city council
to pass an ordinance which made
it a misdemeanor to cause radio
interference; an ordinance which
in turn had been patterned after
the one used by the city of Port
land.
It was pointed out, nowever, mai.
an ordinance if passed in Seward
would be of no avail as an instru
ment with which to induce the
governmental owned and controll
ed radio and cable equipment to
desist from operations during re
ception hours. To this, others
replied that assurances had been
given by the signal corps officer in
Seward, that the department would
co-operate with the towns people
to the limit. Attention was then di
verted to privately owned motors
and other electrical appliances
over which scarcely any control
can be held by private individuals
and which conditions could only
be dealt with by means of an^ordi
nance. A committee consisting of
F. E. Leslie, E. P. Harwood and F.
C. Bender was appointed to draft a
proposed ordinance to be submitted
to the Seward City Council for
adoption. The move will be furth
er strengthened bv the circulating
of petitions among radio owners
not present at the meeting, urging
that the ordinance be passed.
The club then discussed the third
type of interferences—“squealers",
which, acording to Charles Curtis,
local radio expert, are very hard to
locate. It is the opinion of Mr.
Curtis and others, however, that
most of the intolerable “squealing”
is unintentional, owing to the fact
that a set owner may not be aware
that his is one of the offensive
ones, or that in the case of regen
erative sets, the owners may not
be following the proper method of
tunning in. This condition, which
is more or less simple to relieve, has
been placed in the hands of Mr.
Curtis and George Mackie. These
gentlemen have also been named
as a committee to chart the radio
receiving sets in the city compiling
a sort of register showing the make
or type of every set in use here.
Radio owners in Seward are urg
ed that they can be of great assist
ance to the culb if they will notify
one of the officers or committee
men of the make or type of their
set.
The club will meet again next
week, the date to be named later,
and all radio fans asked to attend.

FATHER RISKED
PAINFUL DEATH
TO SAVE INFANT
! SWALLOWED ACID TO FIND
ANTIDOTE POISON GIVEN
BABY BY MISTAKE
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb., 14, UP) !
—A father, who unhesitatinglyj
risked a slow and painful death!
to save his baby daughter, and
the mother, with a look of horror
still in her eyes, made plans for:
the funeral of their first born,
Mabel Jeldy, five months old, who:
died a victim of deadly acid ad
ministered by the mother be
lieving it to be a common remedy.
When franctic efforts to get a
doctor failed, Clarence Jeldy, the
babe’s father, reasoned that he
might find an antidote poison by
observing the effect of the acid
upon himself so he stepped into
another room and hastily swall
owed a dose of the poison. He
soon noticed a burning sensa
tion, then drank a glass of soda
water and got relief.
He prepared another portion
of the remedy and gave it to the
infant. Soon the child's suffer
ing seemed to diminish.
When the doctor arrived he
said the proper antidote was ad
ministered and the child would
have recovered, it was believed,
if lung congestion had not devel
oped which the baby, weak from
the poison, was unable to resist.
