1956–57 United States network television schedule
The 1956 -- 57 United States network television schedule was for the period that began in September 1956 and ran through March 1957 . The 1956 -- 57 network television schedule continued the trend of the previous season , with two of the three major U.S. television networks ( ABC and CBS ) scheduling more and more westerns and adventure series during prime time . In addition to its current stable of Westerns , which included Cheyenne , The Lone Ranger , and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp , ABC scheduled two new Western TV series : Broken Arrow and The Adventures of Jim Bowie , while CBS added Dick Powell 's Zane Grey Theater to its line-up , which already included Gunsmoke and Sergeant Preston of the Yukon . Castleman and Podrazik ( 1984 ) called the rush to schedule Western series on network television during this era `` a virtual stampede '' . CBS `` inherited Sunday afternoon NFL contests from the defunct DuMont network in the fall of 1956 '' . Accordingly , `` the expansion into Sunday sports by CBS ( and NBC ) meant that the traditional afternoon ` egghead ' slots for highbrow programming had to be broken up , pushing those shows into the few odd spots still open in the day , or eliminating them completely . This reflected the networks ' shift in emphasis during the mid-1950s , slanting television much more toward broad-based popular entertainment . Increasingly , this meant television programming produced in Hollywood -LSB- ... -RSB- In 1957 , the amount of prime time programming originating on the West Coast jumped from 40 % to 71 % . '' NBC , behind CBS in the network Nielsen ratings , hired Robert Kintner to revamp NBC 's schedule . According to Castleman and Podrazik ( 1982 ) , NBC 's plan was to launch a program which would compete directly with CBS 's second most popular series , The Ed Sullivan Show , on Sunday , the most heavily viewed TV night : `` Sullivan 's show was popular enough to boost the ratings of the programs on both before and after his ; as a result , CBS had a chain of hits to begin the evening . '' NBC 's strategy was designed to weaken CBS 's Sunday night line-up . NBC 's new program , The Steve Allen Show , debuted in the summer to get a head start on the competition . Although the two programs enjoyed a fierce rivalry , Sullivan 's program would remain wildly popular , finishing second among all TV programs in the ratings that year , while Allen 's show missed the top 30 . New fall series are highlighted in bold , while shows ending their runs are highlighted in italics .

1900 Hull–Ottawa fire
The Hull-Ottawa fire of 1900 was a devastating fire in 1900 that destroyed much of Hull , Quebec , and large portions of Ottawa , Ontario . On April 26 a defective chimney on a house in Hull caught fire , which quickly spread between the wooden houses due to windy conditions . Along the river were the large lumber companies , and huge amounts of stacked lumber that quickly ignited . Two thirds of Hull was destroyed , including 40 per cent of its residential buildings and most of its largest employers along the waterfront . The fire also spread across the Ottawa River , carried by wind borne embers and destroyed a large swath of western Ottawa from the Lebreton Flats south to Dow 's Lake . About one fifth of Ottawa was destroyed with almost everything in the band between Booth Street and the rail line levelled . Fortunately prevailing wind patterns and the higher elevation of central Ottawa prevented the fire from spreading east . The fire break created by the rail line also preserved the Hintonburg area . The fire engines ` The Conqueror ' and ` La France ' had to be abandoned to the flames , and the call went out to five communities for assistance in fighting the blaze , including Montreal and Toronto . Montreal was able to send a fire engine by rail , which arrived in less than two hours . Dynamiting houses to block the fire 's spread was considered , but this plan was rejected in view of the danger that falling debris from the blast would only spread the conflagration further . Seven people were killed in the blaze , and fifteen thousand were made homeless , including 14 % of the population of Ottawa and 42 % of Hull 's population . Property losses amounted to $ 6,200,000 in Ottawa and $ 3,300,000 in Hull , with insurance covering 50 % of the damage in Ottawa but only 23 % of the damage in Hull . More were killed by disease in the densely packed tent cities where the people were forced to live afterwards . Worldwide response to the disaster generated $ 957,000 in aid , including $ 4.86 from distant Chile .

145 Adeona
145 Adeona is a rather large main-belt asteroid . Its surface is very dark , and , based upon its classification as a C-type asteroid , is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous material . The Adeona family of asteroids is named after it . It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on June 3 , 1875 , from the observatory at Hamilton College , Clinton , New York . Peters named it after Adeona , the Roman goddess of homecoming , because he had recently returned from a journey across the world to observe the transit of Venus . Peters also discovered 144 Vibilia on the same night . During 2001 , 145 Adeona was observed by radar from the Arecibo Observatory . The return signal matched an effective diameter of 151 ± 18 km . This is consistent with the asteroid dimensions computed through other means . Adeona has been observed to occult a star once , on July 9 , 2002 . The Dawn mission team discussed performing a flyby of this object , however NASA decided against it in July 2016 . At the time this was considered Dawn was orbiting the large asteroid/dwarf planet 1 Ceres , and went on studying that body later that year . Dawn had previously orbited that asteroid 4 Vesta , before traveling to Ceres .
