Designed to promote accurate timing of radio features, the new society will admit to its rolls any announcer or production man who, for a whole week, keeps all his programs from running more than ten seconds over their allotted space in the schedule. So say the by-laws, regulations and rules of procedure, which are being prepared by Pat rick Kelly, NBC supervisor of announcers. Successful presentation of net-wort Jeatures is partly a matter of split second timing. Kelly points out.

Programs must dovetail accurately into the hourly routine. Clock watchers generally are objects of humorous gibes and official frowns. But in broadcasting It's different; careful clock watching is a virtue. "The show must go on" Is an old Is New Feature show 'business aphorism which applies neatly to radio. Just as Important, however, is another version, "the show must go off." Always another program, with perhaps another network, is Impatiently awaiting the channels.

So "the show must go off is the motto of the new association. Meanwhile, announcers and production men are keeping their eyes glued on the synchronized clocks in the NBC studios, for as yet the organization has no charter members. Radio Digest Came of Fading.

If a storage battery is not in use it should be placed on a charging line about once every 30 days, because internal, action causes it to discharge its chemical energy slowly. True Test for Noises. The best way to test a set to learn whether a noise is effused by the set itself or by something outside the set is to disconnect the aerial lead to the set and observe the effect upon the noises. If the noise stops, the source is external to the set.

If it continues, it is very likely within the set. The Modern Receiver. There are only three things that determine the fine qualities of a receiver. These are its selectivity, its sensitivity its tonal fidelity. A receiver cannot be too selective or it will lack tonal fidelity.

It can-: not be too sensitive or it will be unstable or noisy. It cannot be even too faithful in reproducing the audible atgnals thatget into it because all of these sounds do not originate in the studio and again the reclver rains the reputation of being 'noisy." one Boston, in the third of his series of talks.

The widespread use of radio has brought to almost every home the importance of a good talking voice, correct pronunciation and passable One of the favorite indoor sports in family circles the country over is to criticize the voices of radio announcers and artists and to catch their misadventures in grammar and pronunciation.
