OUT OF THIN AIR when the Sunday broadcasts from his beloved Trinity Church were neglected, he was appalled. Gesner , through political pull it was suggested, received the fran¬ chise to broadcast the local hockey games from the Charlottetown Forum, and these took precedence over everything else. As far as Mr. Burke was concerned, the sacred—his reason for getting into broadcasting in the first place—had been superseded by the profane. Mr. Burke was distraught. The CHCK transmitter, the old 10AS, was still located in the second story of the Burke home, and as long as it was there, Walter had a measure of control. However, one afternoon. Mr. Gesner went to the Burke home in the daytime when Walter was at work and took the transmitter to his downtown office, almost directly across the street from Dad 's Great studio. Walter Burke 's files were missing and from then on he was practically denied access to them. Mr. Burke could see nothing but increasing trouble ahead from his association with Gesner and CHCK. Gesner was in financial trouble and Walter Burke did not want to be held responsible for Mr. Gesner 's debts. Eventually he appealed to Dad to take over the Church broadcasts. They patched up their differences and Mr. Burke , wanting to get out of a bad mess, sold Dad his half interest in CHCK. Now this entire issue had never really been properly addressed so I would like to reproduce now two documents in full from the files of the National Archives in Ottawa. "For One Dollar, to me in hand, together with other valuable considerations, I Walter E. Burke , of Charlottetown , the Province of Canada, do hereby transfer to Keith Sinclair Rogers of Charlottetown , Prince Edward Island , all of my right title and interest in the licence to operate station CHCK, issued jointly in the name of Walter E. Burke and James A. Gesner together with my interest in the transmit¬ ting apparatus, record library and other machinery employed in the operation of said radio station CHCK and delegate to the said Keith Sinclair Rogers the right to protect his interest in the said Licence, issued by the Department of Marine, Ottawa, in the way he may deem necessary. 64
