“Hector Charlesworth, the czar of Canadian radio, from a caricature cartoon by J. W. McLaren, the distinguished artist. This drawing was used to illustrate the souvenir menu on the occasion of the congratulatory dinner tendered in Toronto to Mr. Charlesworth before his departure for Ottawa to take up his new $10,000 post as chairman of the federal radio commission. Friends from many parts of the Dominion gathered to pay honor to Mr. Charlesworth, who said he felt like one “launching out into uncharted seas." He trusted however that his fund of commonsense and the experience he had accumulated during his forty years of journalism would enable him to “avoid the shoals and quicksands of this sea.” “I’m not going to pose as an adjudicator of public taste," he said. “But I am going to see that the radio compiles with the demands of the public."
