Tempest Sweeps Eastward Over Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie; Chicago Lake Front Extensively Damaged CHICAGO, Oct. 23. Cold and raw and snow-choked, the worst storm of the year churned eastward over the Great Lakes today. Boats were tossed upon rocky shores of Lake Huron and Lake Erie ; vessels drifted uncontrolled on Lake Superior; and seawalls crumbled, and homes along the shores of Lake Michigan were flooded as their'owners fled in fear of destruction. The freighter M. J. Neshen was aground in Lake Erie, off Leamington, Ontario, and life-saving crews took off the crew of twelve men and one woman. The Lake Fragality, a barge with a crew of six, was adrift in Lake Superior. The Maple Court of the Canada Steamship Lines was aground on Magnetic Reef in Lake Huron. Air mail service was halted over the land and lake transportation was seriously crippled. Spectacular damage was done to the entire shore line boulevard system of Chicago.

'V, PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS EDITORIAL Government Broadcast for Prince Rupert Prince Rupert Is badly hand-Icapped In the matter of radio reception In that It seldom rets satisfactory reception f rorn, any Canadian station. While the i Canadian National station at Vancouver can be heard occasionally, It Is so independable that it is seldom looked for. People in the north' naturally turn to the American stations for their entertainment and Induction. Even those stations are often cut ' qf f alto-Ifther by special radio conditions which prevents reception of any kind. While doubtless a powerful broadcasting station at Vancouver would overcome some of the difficulties, this place would itil( be badly handicapped, especially in the matter of daylight reception- What is needed is a government broadcasting station at Prince Rupert to take care of the whole northern part of the country. This would be useful to Queen Charlotte Islands, Alaska, and the Interior of Drittsh Columbia, Including Atlin. Doubtless the federal radio department must have had such an installation In mind already, as it knows the conditions here well. It Is to be hoped that they will make It possible for trie people of Northern and Central British Columbia to get Canadian radio reception Instead of having rtly. as they do now, on the u United States for practically, the whole of their radio entertainment and education.
