By PIERRE ROBERGE
MONTREAL (CP) — The first tunnel radio station in
Canada will go on the air in late April, broadcasting

Radio for tunnels

The station's program content will be pre-recorded
15-second public service messages, 15-second commer-
cials and music. The same material will be repeated

15-second public service to
under the St. Lawrence River.

“This is virgin territory in radio — completely
untouched — because all radio signals are lost in the
tunnel,” said Pierre Thibault, marketing director for
Communications Tunnel Inc. “And it's a captive
audience.”

The company's broadcasting antenna will consist of
metal wires running the length of the Hippolyte-Lafon.
taine tunnel which links the suburban South Shore with
the island of Montreal.

Vehicles travelling through the 6.4-kilometre tunnel
will never be more than five metres from the antenna.

The company bought the Canadian rights from a
Florida company for the specialized electronic equipment
required to broadcast in tunnels. There are already
tunnel radio stations in Boston and Baltimore.

The new company, which received its broadcasting
licence last summer from the Canadian Radi isi

for three tofive minutes, said Thibault. At other periods,
the time it takes to go through the tunnel varies between
75 and 105 seconds.

The tunnel, operated by the Quebee transport
department, accommodates about 95,000 vehicles a day
with an average ‘of two people in each. Thibault's firm
estimates this gives it a be .“ weekly audience of 1.3
million.

For $3,400 an advertiser will be able to buy 440
15-second commercials repeated 10 times an hour
between Monday morning and Friday night.

In emergencies (accidents or traffic jams lasting
more than five minutes), a Quebec provincial police
spokesman will be able to break into broadcasts to advise
drivers about the problem.

The transport department will also have access to
the station to broadcast information.

and Telecommunications Commission, was set up by
businessmen from Montreal and Drummondville, where
Thibault manages a local AM radio station.

The new station will broadcast simultaneously on the
same frequencies as the 14 AM radio stations in the
Montreal region whose signals fade out on car radios as
vehicles enter the tunnel.

The Ps will put up signs at tunnel entrances
telling drivers the station is only available on the AM
dial. The problems of broadcasting FM _ signals
underground haven't yet been worked out.

If all goes well in the Hippolyte-Lafontaine tunnel,
Thibault says the company has an agreement with the
transport department to set up a second station next year
in a tunnel on Montreal's Ville-Marie expressway.

lays country on harp

By JOE EDWARDS

NASHVILLE, TENN
(AP) — In the country music
kingdom of guitars and fid
dies, Lloyd Lindroth figures
he’s reaching out to down.
home folk when he dons a
rhinestone suit and plays
Your Cheatin’ Heart on a
$22,000 harp.

Lindroth has forsaken
high-brow symphony orches

tras and taken his courtly
harp to Hee Haw and Grand
Ole Opry audiences.

In what some country mu:
sie purists may regard as a
sacrilege, he even took Boots
Randolph's famous song
Yakety Sax and renamed it
Yakety Harp. He put on an
album, Weleome to My
World, with 11 other coun-
try classics without benefit of

a steel guitar.

But the effusive Lindroth
says, there's a rightful place
for him right up there with
cotintry kings George Jones
and Conway Twitty — even if
his instrument isn't famous
for putting out country weep
ers that make you cry in your
beer.

“Ifyou think of the warmth
of country and western music

spending eight years in Los

“Mamie loved the harp,” he
recalled of the former first
lady.

On Hee Haw, Lindroth and
guitarist Roy Clark played a
duet on the Willie Nelson
song, Nightlife.

“I walked in and the musi.
cans were rather cold to me,”
Lindroth recalled. “But I
broke them down.”

At the Grand Ole Opry, he
performed a medly of Engle
bert Humperdinck’s Release
Me, the Hank Williams’ clas
sie Your Cheatin’ Heart and
the bluegrass standard
Rocky Top.

“The whole place just
stopped,” Lindroth said. “I'm
talking about the hard-core
country people — Hank
Snow, Porter Wagoner. We
knocked them dead.”

If nothing else, he looks the
part of a flamboyant country
star when he decks out in a
flashy outfit complete with
glittering rhinestones. On his
left hand, he wears a $7,000
harp-shaped diamond ring.

“It looks good when you're
working and the spotlight
picks up the diamonds,” he
said. “I need pizazz. I'm sort
of like a peacock. You've got
to strut your stuff.”

purple, heels spiked, hair teased and attitude new, Patti
LaBelle is ripe and ready to rock the night into a frenzy.

And she does. It’s standing ovation time at the
Gershwin Theatre as LaBelle goes from a whisper to a
scream with Over the Rainbow, New Attitude and Lady
Marmalade — the song that made the trio, LaBelle, one of
the hottest “girl groups” of the 1970s.

But she's solo now with two hits from the soundtrack
of Eddie Murphy's movie Beverly Hills Cop, a budding
acting career and the propsect of once again singing with
the other two stylists who made up the legendary LaBelle
— Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash.

“We've considered doing an album or a special
concert, but it won't be for a while,” LaBelle said in her
hotel suite a few days after he opening night

“Going solo was hard. I didn't know if I would be
accepted as a solo artist or if people would blame me for
the breakup. The breakup was smooth . . . We left while
we were in love.”

HAD WINNERS

The trio started in 1961 as Patti LaBelle and the
Bluebells and climbed the charts with such winners as
You'll Never Walk Alone, Down the Aisle and I Sold My
Heart to the Junkman. In the 1970s, they shortened the
group's name to LaBelle and donned the outrageous
space-age costumes and fast look that inspires such
groups as Kiss.

The split came, LaBelle said, because “we just didn't
think the same way musicially and thought we should
split before the audience caught on.” Hendryx ani Dash
also went on to solo careers but theirs haven't been as
successful.

LaBelle made her film debut last year in Norman
Jewison’s acclaimed A Soldier's Story, in which she plays
an entertainer in a steamy joint frequented by soldiers.

But acting is taking a back seat these days to
completing her latest album. When the album is
completed, she will consider studying drama because she
never went to acting school.

“I just didn’t do it because I'm trifling,” she said with
a laugh. “I've never done anything that I should do and I
always pray to God to help me get over this hump.”

Mill's
roof
fell:

PRINCE RUPERT, B.C.
(CP) — Operations should
return to normal by Friday at
Westar Timber’s pulp oper-
ations here after the roof of a
warehouse collapsed when a
wall of an adjacent building
fell on it during high winds, a
company spokesman said
Tuesday.

Reg Lightfoot, general
manager of Westar's Skeena
pulp division, said strong
winds Monday blew down a
concrete block wall of a
building that housed machin-
ery. The wall fell on a ware-
house, injuring a worker and
damaging other equipment
and pulp stockpiles,

“It was a helluva mess,”
Lightfoot said. “One worker
was injured, but fortunately
not too seriously.”

The damage only partially
curtailed production at the
pulp mill, but will result in
some layoffs.
