Representatives of the local station have been working on the selection of a site for the transmitter and studios at Erie for the past several weeks, and tentative locations have been chosen. These locations have not yet been approved by the radio, commission, however, and work on the units will be delayed until this sanction has been received. It is planned to maintain studios in the business section of the lake city.

Practically all of the equipment at the local studios and transmitting station will be taken to Erie, with the exception of the tower which now carries the antenna. The electrical devices and other equipment will be used in conjunction with new equipment which will constitute the greater part of the facilities of WLBW.

The change of location will not cause any lengthy interruption in the schedule of programs from the station, it is expected.

Broadcasting, will probably be continued local studios to within 48 hours of the time broadcasts start at Erie.

many of these opportunities in conjunction with the home, church, and school, he said. Speaking before the Oil City Kiwanis Club at its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Murray told of the value of work among boys during the "dangerous age." Modern inventions have created leisure time for boys which was formerly used in doing chores about the home or farm, and it is important that the youths be guided during this leisure time. A small investment helping to guide a boy in the right direction will pay big dividends, he said, whereas if he drifts into gang influence and lands in a reformatory it will cost the ity $1,000 annually to maintain him there and he will find it very easy to become a criminal. The speaker complimented the Kiwanis Club for its work through the Big Brother movement and Unprivileged Child program.

Guests at the meeting included Kiwanian Harry Leyda, of Franklin; C. J. R. Mason, F. W.

Alcorn and Dr. D. M. Powers, of Oil City. L.

Gavin will be the honorary chairman of the session of the institute tonight at 8 o'clock in the of C. hall to which all men have been invited.

A check-up today made by the company did not disclose any missing articles.

The theieves twisted off the lock of the large steel door at the front of the building, broke a panel of glass in a'n inner door, and opened the rear door, evidently to take the goods out of the warehouse. They left the radio and adding machine near the large rear door when discovered about 12:30 a. m. Officers Joseph Kleean and Grant Hobaugh investigated, but found no one in the building.

When Ruggles, an irresponsible nobleman, fails to pay for 16 suits he ordered, Maurice sets out to track him to his uncle's castle.
