F. Jay Buckley, local T \" sen·iceman, has inYented a. de,·ice thaL will greatly s implify certain types of sen·ice calls. Called an a n Antenna Loading 1\'leter , the de,·ice is intended to measure the amount of antenna loading.

In laymen's language this simply means that Buckley's in­,·entlon can tell at a glance whether the trouble for which he was called is in the set itself, or whether the fault lies with the an­tenna.

Plugged into a wall outlet and then connected to the lead-in wire of a TV antenna, the meter tells, by a glance at the needle, whethe1· the antenna is shorted out, if one lead-in wire is broken, if corrosion is pr~ent or if a loose connection i" responsible fol' .A

"In fact", said Buckley, "the m eter can tell, even at night, right from the inside of the house, exactly what is wrong w ith any type of TV aeria l. " This feature saves unnecessary clamber­ing about on a roof and will save the customer money on many service calls.

* * * Apparently the flood danger has passed. The Grand has really drop­ped since last week at this time. Here in Lowell the Roth Furniture store had just a little water in their basement, but by moving the stock and digging a hole in the bottom of the elevator shaft to drain the water, the threat soon passed, much to their relief.

* * * At present a carpenter is busily working here at the office. We are going to have our own dark room which will save yours truly a lot of driving and will result, we hope, in more and better pictures for your paper. By the way, if any of you would like copies of pictures appearing in our paper, a call to

1 us will fill the bill. A small charge 'will be made however.

The Roth Furniture store here in Lowell has this service now and you'd be surprised how far expert advice can go towards I transforming a " nice room" into
