This had to mean something because it was a President who spoke, otherwise it was almost Irish gibberish. If no further step is taken, the "dominion status" of the Free State under the Crown-which in any case does not exclude the right of secession-is left pretty much in its gossamer status...
...making skiing easier, made it popular all over the world. Hired as a ski teacher by St. Anton's Hotel Post when he was 17, Hannes Schneider taught the hotel guests to ski in a crouch.

Sample NBC programs...
...obstacle to which radiomen and educators alike devoted much earnest thought last week was the inability of educators to fill free time with interesting programs. President David Sarnoff of Radio Corp. of America bluntly declared: "Radio programs can be created to inform the mind and elevate the spirit, but when one seeks to impose upon them the requirement that they also furnish mental training and discipline, one narrows their appeal and risks the dispersion of the invisible audience...
