you needn't the calendar can be off by 24 hours. The vernal equinox is described as that moment when the sun crosses the equator in the springtime, coming north. A similar action takes place at the autumnal equiiox when the sun crosses the equator going south. In reality, the sun is not moving. The true explanation is so complicated by several factors, however, that it is easiest to say the sun comes across the equator.

Movies Piped to TV

Over Phone Line Tested

Vision of Future: Dial Operator, Tune in on Your Favorite Film

| The Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Mar. 19—How'd you like to sit at home, dial the phone company, and get a full-length movie piped in to your TV set for less than it costs to take the family out to a show? It may happen some day. Phonevision, a gadget providing this service, soon may be operating experimentally in Chicago. { It was developed and patented by Zenith Radio Corp, and President E. F. McDonald is arranging Chicago try-out | for several hundred specially equipped TV sets. - - » » - - MR, McDONALD has discussed possibility of widespread operation with American ‘Telephone & Telegraph Co. and Illinois Bell officials, Also with movie makers. President | Spyros P. Skouras of Twentieth Century-Fox thinks pictures could be pipéed*tnto homes as Muzak is. © The gadget's ready now, can be added to some TV sets for $10. But before piped-in pictures start the Federal Communications Commission will have to approve. The Federal Communications Commission gave Mr. McDonald permit for | his first: Chicago experiments, may approve larger try-out |

there. |

MR. McDONALD thinks new movies should cost ahout $1 an hour, half going to movie producers, half to broadcasters | and telephone companies. Different movies would be advertised for fixed hour, you'd phone to be tuned in. It'd be charged on your monthly phone bill. There would be no advertising. Also, there might be no 1 movie houses after awhile. . |
