Glen Gray Heads "Show of the Week" An orchestra which has stayed among the top bands for the longest stretch of any in the country, and another which has climber to fame right In Westchester, will be featured In "Show of the Week" at the County Center on Sunday afternoon and evening. Taking the featured post-intermission popsition will be Glen Gray and GLEN GRAY the Casa Loma orchestra, while plpav ing for the stage revue and presenttog their own act will be Tommy Tucker and his orchestra. Despite an evening downpour which cut Into attendance, "Srow of the Week" scored a success with the orchestras of Bob Chester and Jack Jenney in last Sunday's presentation before about 4,ooo persons at the two performances. As one reviewer put it, "many will be sorry they failed to see Bob Chester's orchestra, with soloists Dolores O'Neill and Al Stewart, apparently destined to become this year's 'name' band." The "Casa Loma" designation was assumed by the Glen Gray aggregation when It moved to a hotel of that name In Toronto, Canada. The musicians Incorporated there as a "cooperative" band and the name stuck as a trade mark. Bach of the 16 musicians Is a much a part of the band as Glen Gray who is the president of the corporation. The Casa Loma aggregation is considered by many critics the foremost dance band in the country today. Not only is it decidedly a "musician's band," tl enjoys a wide popularity won by its coast to coast broadcasts, its feature with the George Burns and Grade Allen program and its extended appearances at many popular night spots, including the coveted Rainbow Room of Radio City. Featured with the Casa Loma orchestra as soloists are "Pee Wee" Hunt and Kenny Sargent. Hunt Is a vacolist and trombonist, while Sargent, the Beau Brummol of the organisation, plays a sax in addition to vocalizing. Tommy Tucker is widely known to radio audiences through the generous amount of air time given him on network hook-UDs from his spot at MurrayVon-the-Parkway, where he Is courteously being released on Sunday for his appearances in "Show of the Week." Featured with the Tucker aggregation is the attractive songstress, Amv Anvil, and the baritone soloist, Kelly Rand. A popular master of ceremonies will Introduce the acts of the stage revue, during which Tommy Tucker and his orchestra will be presented. Compulsory Auto Test Poll Asked by Mcalcy Commissioner Carroll E. Mealey, of State Bureau of Motor Vehicles, speaking before the Rotary Club of New York at the Hotel Commodore, invited the 2,760,000 owners of automobiles in the state to submit their views on the question of compulsory Inspection of vehicles. He said that the bureau itself had "an open mind" on the subject. Automobile owners, said Mr. Mealey, must consider three questions: "Is the motorist willing to pay for an inspection service?" "Would benefits accruing, from such Inspection justify the expense to which the motorist would be putt" "Is the state shirking a responsibility by falling to provide for vehicle Inspections?" Mr. Mealey said that eleven of the seventeen states compelling inspection delegate the work of inspection to private stations, licensed by the states. He said that adoption of compulsory inspection would cost the state's motorists (2,760,000 a year under either plan. The best estimate of traffic engineers, Mr. Mealey said, was that not more than 6 per cent of the nation's accidents were caused by mechanical defects. Approximately 16 per cent, he said, listed structural flaws as a contributory cause. Vehicles only one year old, he added, were "involved in more accidents, fatal / and non-fatal, than cars in any other age classification."

'Quietest Place in H T.* "The quietest place In New York" is said to be inside this little testing chamber at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. It Is about 2,000 times more quiet. In tact, than the very quiet room In which it Is located. The picture shows a telephone transmitter being placed In the chamber to measure the Infinitesimal noise made by carbon granules when electricity flows through them. This chamber, Insulated and suspended by springs, is so quiet that the noises within would have to be amplified at least threefold for the human ear to detect them. With the aid of such a chamber scientists study the action of carbon granules which play a vital role in transmitting one's voice over the telephone. This is one of many research activities in the continuous effort to Improve the service of voice communication. VOICEWAY8 OF 'MAGINOT In that cbaln of defenses known as the Maginot Line, which extends some 400 miles along the northeastern bolder of France, there are some 25,000 telephones In an extensive communication system. It Is reported. These Instruments are operated through ex> changes 160 feet underground, Interconnected by wires In cables burled in live feet of concrete. Bach telephone has three separate circuits, to avoid Interruption of the service. Women 'Meef By Wire In the finale of a recent campaign for new members, the National Council of Jewish Women, In New Tork City, held a series of telephone "meetings" In which busy members of the group, scattered in homes and offices, joined la the conversations. By the use of "conference telephone service," the ehalrman of the drive held these sessions twice a day, chatting with nine Bombers of the Council at a time. the Won, 'tight Unseen' Lillian Cornell, singer, in her native Chicago, recently sang in an audition over long distance telephone, while Mark Sandrtch, Paramount"! producerdirector, listened in at the Hollywood studio, 2,000 miles away. As a result, the movie executive agreed to sign her "sight unseen" for one of his productions. Luck Turns the Pages Idly turning the leaves of a Cleveland, O., telephone directory, a man in Sunnydale, Calif., saw a name listed which was the same as that of a longlost brother. A letter to Cleveland confirmed the glad tidings, and the two were soon reunited—after a separation of forty-six years. MAGAZINES TODAY USE 'SEVEN LEAGUE BOOTS' TO COVER WORLD NEWS One Key Man Travels 100,000 Miles a Year by Plane, Many More by Voice Modern magazine executives and writers, making their rounds for top flight stories from various points on the globe where news is brewing, necessarily use the fastest meanB of transportation and communication. One New York executive Is said to travel an average of more than a hundred thousand miles a year by airplane and many times as far by long distance and transoceanic telephone, In quest of interesting mateilal. Re is Thomas H. Beck, president of the Crowell-Col- Her Publishing Co., and editorial director of "Collier's." His methods typify those of the executives and staffs of various periodicals of large circulation. They use all of the modern kinds of "seven league boots" to conquer time and distance. An example of these methods was revealed recently when a matter of news importance developed In Paris. A transatlantic telephone call from Mr. Beck sent his European representative from London to Paris to talk with the chief figure in the situation. Next day Mr. Beck received a return call from Paris, advising that he should personally confer with the person concorned. The appointment was made, after brief consultation with airline schedules, and soon the New York executive was on the Yankee Clipper, Europe-bound. A great deal of Collier's Immediate business with important personages the world over is carried out, however, by voice rather than by recourse to long Journeys Something of a "stunt" through the use of fast communication was performed by Mr, Beck on a recent cruise with a group of radio executives. As the ship docked at Kingston, Jamaica, there were placed on board copies of that morning** edition of a Miami newspaper, printed 600 miles away, carrying a story of the radio men's convention held aboard the night before, when many miles at sea. Immediately after the convention, Mr. Beck had used the ship's radio telephone to dictate the story to a press association In New York, which transmitted it to newspapers throughout the country. Then by another ship-to-ehore call, he arranged with the Miami newspaper to tend copies by the Pan American plane stopping at Kingston. TINTED TOWNS OP TEXAS! Many stories are told of the ingenuity and persistence of Long Distance telephone operators in "getting their man." This one is of an operator who was asked by a caller to find a former business associate of his in Texas. He hadn't seen him in fifteen years, wasn't sure where he lived, but thought It might be Greenville. A call to Greenville got no results. Running down her list of colors, the operator called Brownwood, Brownsville, Red Rock and Orange. No result Then she tried Whitesboro—and there he was. Telephone and telegraph companies continue to have the lowest Injury rates among public utility concerns, according to a recent report of the National Safety Council giving data for 1938. 'Phone Operator—What's She Like? Here She Tells All About Herself More than 116,000 young women are employed as telephone operators in the nation-wide Bell System. Borne 14,860 of these serve in the State of New Tork alone. These young women, more than any other group among the 161,200 women employed in the Bell System, are the "voice of the service." But as they work largely unseen, their "looks" and ways are little known to the outside world. Many people ask about these operators. What do they look like? What do they wear! Where do they liveT How do they like their Jobs? What do they do when off duty? What of their future? Answers to such questions were obtained recently by asking several hundred operators to "tell all about themselves." Prom their own answers, a compositu description was developed—a picture of an average American young woman. Here it is, a word portrait of "Miss Mary Smith." for these first and last names are the most common ones among this group: Miss Smith .s 6 feet, 8% Inches in height, weighs 120 pounds, has brown hair and blue eyes. She shops carefully tor her clothes, loves to find a bargain She has one or two good dinner dresses. wears smart, inexpensive, conservative things for work She has been an operator for about twelve years. She spent two months In training before starting to handle calls. She says, "I'd rather be an operator than anything else—except a certain man's wife." She has a "voice with a smile." Courteous and helpful, she is alert and efficient in her work, proud o f *m record for speed and accunKy. 8he has handled many emergency calls with good judgment and sympathetic understanding. She lives with her parents, helps to support the home. If her other obligations permit, she sets aBide something each week for savings and insurance through plans arranged for her convenience by the telephone company.

Winning two out of three Championships and finishing second in the third is a feat to be proud of by any driver. He was only prevented from taking the third one by a serious accident which put him in the hospital with a brain concussion and several cuts about the face and head. A recent check shows that Holmes has established more records and won more Championships than any other driver during his racing career.

Condon Introduces Pari-Mutucl Bill Senator William Condon, Westchester Republican, Introduced a bill in the Upper House allotting to cities or counties operating horse race tracks within their borders at 2 per cent share of the proposed 10 per cent "take" from pari-mutuel betting. Under the provisions of the Condon measure, the localities would receive 2 per cent, with the State and racing associations each receiving an ecru a l share of the remaining 8 per cent. If a track is operated solely within a city, then the city gets the 2 per cent "take" but if the track is outside of a city, then the county in which the track is operated would get the revenue. The money received by either the city or the county under the proposed set-nip is to be used specifically to bring about "reductions of the tax on real property for city or county purposes" .'the measures provides. The introduction of the Condon measure further complicated the pending pari-mutuel legislation now before the Legislature. On the first day of the sessoin, Senator Dunnigan, Democratic minority leader, and Assemblyman Penny, Nassau Republican, introduced a measure calling for a-10 per cent "take," equally divided between the State and the racing associations.

For the first time since the sport was organized at Lafayette fourteen years ago, there is a possibility of reaching the top and realizing the dream ot an undefeated season. Opening the campaign with a victory over Columbia, the Maroon matmen continued to pin M L T., Tufts and Syracuse for four consecutive victories, an unprecedented achievement at Lafayette. Whether the Maroon is to remain unbeaten will be determined to a great extent next Saturday when Lafayette meets the strong Temple team in Easton. Other obstacles facing Lafayette later in the season are Rutgers, Colgate, Gettysburg and Lehigh, especially the latter. The above item from The Sun is of interest to men of Northern Westches ter who recall that Frederick W. Appell started this sport for intercollegiate competition while he was at Lafayette College during the winter of 1986. Fred was captain of the first team and assisted with the coaching. He wrestled in the 176 lb. light heavyweight class. It was always his hope that some day his alma mater would have a championship team. Believe it or not but Fred learned most of his wrestling on the farm of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A J. Appell at Purdys. BRADY-STANNARD CHEVROLET CO. 87 No. Main St. Phone 2180 Brewster, N. Y.

Parkway Toll Argued In Court of Appeals The authority of the county of Westchester to charge a toll on the sixteen-mile stretch of the Hutchinson River Parkway was argued Monday in the Court of Appeals in two actions, one brought in behalf of the people and another by two taxpayers. The Appellate Division, Second Department, has ruled that the county does not possess power to Impose tolls and that the charge made to motorists was invalid. In the taxpayers' action lt granted an injunction restraining the enforcement of a local law. John Lord O'Brien, special counsel for Westchester County, asked the higest court to reverse the decision of the Appellate Division which prohibited the tolls. In his argument Mr. O'Brien said that the Stat* itself is constructing parkways and is making toll charges for revenue producing purposes. He also contended that the local law was properly adopted under the home rule provisions of the Constitution and that the Hutchinson River Parkway is not a public highway on which the collection of tolls Is prohibited. The State was represented by Solicitor General Henry Epstein, who argued that the sixteen-mile parkway, by virtue of its connection with through public highways and its use as an express highway, has become a public highway. He said that the County of Westchester is not empowered to require payment of the toll by users of the parkway and that thlocal law in questions is "an unlawful exercise of the taxing power nor delegated to the county in definite terms." Mr. O'Brien denied the contention of the State's representative that the $10,000,000 parkway is merely an express highway "designed only to facilitate rapid transit between two through highways and embellished with a meagre amount of landscaping. Mr. O'Brien contended that the parkway is essentially a park and that "throughout its length offers many of the attractions possessed by an ordinary park." He cited a decision in which the Court of Appeals had held that the Westchester Parkway has special and novel characterizations; that it is not a road or highway, but a park both by definition of the park commission act and in reality of tfact. He also disputed the finding of the Appellate Division that the essential character of the parkway had been changed because it is linked with a vast system of modern interstate highways. The payment of tolls, he told the court, was in line with "the well developed public policy of placing public improvements, as far as possible, on a pay-as-you-go or a self-liquidating basis." Mr. Epstein argued that there was no express power in the Westchester County charter to impose tolls and that the free use of the highways was not a matter of local concern, but that it affected all the people of the State. He declared that "the Hutchinson River Parkway is an integral part of the State's system of highways."
