With radio broadcasting* making .tremendous, progress in .rbo last decade, all countries in the world were not slow in seeing the '.benefits'- of radio for lire purpose of--describing their ulfjals and ways of thinking to the rest of the world. Great Britain, a'nited States. KranctvyndClerinany are but a few of ��'..the. leaders in this field.
' ' Japan has not been .sjow in following these examples. Since. 1935 Japan has been broadcasting to the world under the auspices of the Japan Broadcasting Goiporation, Japanese counterpart of the CB.G. At first experimentally, broadcasts were conducted through a ljoiTOwed ; transmitter used usually for iiHernatiohal teieplione and later through a 20,000-walt .transmitter h.t

The purpose of these broadcasts are twofold: first to convey to the outside world Japanese thoughts and ideals'; secondly to aid the Japanese, settlers In. the South Sea possessions and In Manchuria to ease their loneliness in the wilds. Accordingly, the-first of these broadcasts were in Japanese and in IOnglish. Gradually Chinese, Dutch, French, German and Hindustani were added, and today the JBC broadcasts in twelve languages including Italian,' Spanish, Burmese. Siamese and I'oi-tuguese as well as those mentioned previously.
Moreover, in order to accommodate the'-many listeners to these broadcasts they have seven different transmissions, namely,
Km ope, South America, Eastern section of SEVEN _ _ , North America, Pacific section of North TRANSMISSIONS America,: Hawaiian. Islands,: China:and Southwestern Asia.

I On Theme Songs >

By A. Y.
It was just about the time in rny youngster's days when I was ge\-ting music-conscious that my friends and | used to gather around the family, radio at the hour when the golden notes of Mart Kenny's theme song,, "The West, A Nest and You Dear," would come floating info the room. That. was my first taste of theme songs,
-- 'Theme songs �r- also . known as . radio songs - � are the ones that herald :many a big name band, as it starts a broadcast over the air, that-is if the tjstener_is able to distinguish the-music from the concomitant explosion of � hand-clapping, cheering, and whistling of ardent studio fans gathered, in the broad- -casting studio for thev occasion.
Many song titles have become � so - popular - that - they've � become- -
classics in their own right, arid � even have been recorded. For in- -: stance, the sales of Victor's recordings of Mart Kenny's title . tune has: run. up into the thou-sands.
: Here's a list of some of the out-:: standing name- bands -- with: their themes:
v Bob- � -Crosby: "Summertime" (Decca), Tommy Dorsey: "I'm Getti n' Sentimental Over. You" (Victor); Shep Fields: "Rippling Rhythm" (Bluebird); Benny Goodman: "Let's Dance" (Columbia) ^ and-"Goodbye"> Glen-Gray :J,'Smoke. Rings" {Decca); Wayne King; "The Waltz You Saved For Me" (Victor);; Kay Kyser: "Thinking ;of You" (Brunswick); Guy Lombardo:* "Aold Lang Syne" Decca); Clyde McCoy: "Sugar Blues" (Decca); Glenn Miller: "Moonlight Serenade" (BluebirdJ; Ray Noble:' "The Very Thought of You" and "Goodnight Sweetheart" - (both Victor), Ray-mond Scott: "Toy Trumpet" Cor lumbJa).
-.. Goodman,-- Noble*-^a~hd "many orV ehestras have two theme songs: one to: open a program, the other to-close it.
v If - there-are any bands, which �I've omitted: whose theme, song you'd like to know^ just write to The New Canadian to Jo "Features"*... . I've got prachcally: all of the leading bands on the hook; and am .trying to find cut whether they've all made recordings .-cfthe:r title Junes.
