On this day, a red-letter day In the history of broadcasting on the western hemisphere, approximate ly 1,300 broadcasting stations on the North American continent will change wave lengths, and radio service men thruout the nation will be called in to reset push but ton sets, and in general change and adjust radios to comply with the new changes. The big wave length shakcup has been in the making since de tails in the Havana Treaty were worked out in a Havana confer ence in 1937. Under the treaty, Canada gets six exclusive chan nels, Mexico gets six, Cuba gets one and the United States gets an increase in clear channels from 44 to 59. According to the National As sociation of Broadcasters the re allocation will result in better ra dio reception on more radio sta tions and will eliminate inter ference between stations. A result expected in the future will be care ful long-time planning between governments in this hemisphere. The immediate effect will be to change dial locations on the over 50,000,000 radio sets in this coun try. Station KFAB will change its frequency from 770 to 780 kilo cycles; KFOR will be heard on 1240 kilocycles instead of 1210, and KOIL's new wave length will be 1290.

Kablcona, which is the name given to the white man by the Eskimo of the far Arctic region of the mainland and vast islands north of Canada, was chosen for the title of a book by Gontran de Poncins because it concerns the life of the white man in those re gions. De Poncins gathered the ma terial for "Kabloona" from the log kept during a year and a half of living in the north, and from his experiences and observations on a 20,000 mile journey through the Far North. ' This new slant on the life of the Eskimo and his associations with the white man in the far north is full of remarkable anecdotes and fascinating pictures of the easy going, happy life of the natives. It is a story of the way of the Eskimo's living, an exact routing, and to change one item in this routine is, for the Eskimo, impos sible. Eating, with the Eskimo, is ectasy and it is the same with love. Commenting on this, Hejiry Seidel Canby, says, "Love is a passion, not a romance. In the spring the whole tribe goes mad with a sexual ectasy which extends even to the very old. The Eskimo's women, who have no rights and are lent like any other property, neverthe less make a home in the wastes possible and subtly control the ac tions of the family.... it is the family that persists. No stealing. "The only crime is killing in order to get desired wife. There is no stealing, for whatever they have is in common in an emerg ency. No one starves unless all starve. De Poncins went north not just to study the Eskimo, but to be come intimate with him, to learn to live and think and feel as he did, and to experience, in his heart and soul as well as in his body, the life of Stone-Age man. Stone Age culture. In this book the author grad ually discovers that the culture of the Stone Age could be as elab orate and often more satisfying than our own, then the dirt, blood, smell, cold, and strange personal habits of the Eskimos became tol erable and, at last, inseparable from their philosophy of living. All in all, it is one of the most remarkable books to roam out of the Far North in a long, long time. About the author his real name is Vicomte Gontran de Montaigne de Poncins. In 1920 he served as an interpreter for the American Army of Occupation in the Rhine land. He learned his English from doughboys, from American paint ers at the Beaux Arts la Paris, from the British textile men with whom he, as London manager of an Italian silk concern, had traded for some J'tars, and from aUcr Actress A A - and admirals, trappers and big game hunters, governors of prov inces and Hudson's Ba.v post man agers everywhere between New Guinea and the Arctic Circle. Material from diary. He wandered just to be wander ing, not to gather material for a book, and when he finally wrote "Kabloona,'' he got his material from the diary he had kept during 15 months in the north. The book is the book-of-th-month for March and will be in the Nook within a week. For spare moment reading, it promises to be one of the best in its field.
