music stations in Lancaster, Pa.; Philadelphia
(95 air miles); Bridgeton.
N. J. (105 air miles), and Baltimore
(75 very mountainous air miles at
more than a 90 degree angle from the
direction in which the Yagi had been
pointed). In addition, many Philadelphia
and New York FM 'non- good -music'
stations are received well. From directly
across a mountain range to the
North, again at right angles to the
direction of the antenna, we pick up
a very clear, strong signal from Sunbury,
Pa. If this is not a strong argument
or demonstration of what a
difference an antenna installation
makes in FM reception, then I shall

We received recently a record cabinet,
adhesive tabs, and catalogue, designed
by a layman, Dr. Alexander Lowen, of
New York City, who simply had a record
file- and -find problem and solved it.
He had run up against the constant,
frustrating problem of wanting to play
a particular record, say, for a guest,
and being unable to locate it, giving
up in disgust.
The cabinet he designed is quite
simple: small, wooden, compartmented
box which will hold fifty long- playing
records with ease, each of the five
compartments holding ten records. It
comes nicely finished in mahogany,
walnut, natural, or ebony, for $9.95
(or unfinished for $7.95). Its outside
dimensions are 125 /8 in. deep by 133/4
high by 11 wide, all smooth, straight
sides which allows for group placement
or record library -shelf installation.
The ingenious catalogue which Dr.
Lowen also devised is a bit too involved
to describe here. We can say,
however, that there's nothing to be
said about a record for which there
isn't a specified space to say it in the
catalogue. You index a record by composer
as well as by title of piece, assign
a removable, adhesive tab number to
the record and record the tab number
on the "Title" page of the book. So if
you're looking for your recording of
Respighi's Pines of Rome, turn to the
Yellow page marked "Classical," find
"Respighi" which will tell you on
which composer -composition page you
