He wants to give the people Of Hot
Springs the very best service he can
get on this circuit and in this Connect

frank criticism after this program has
been given fair, impartial trial.
He is running this show to please
you, if you do not like it, frankly toll

til he does get q program that will
please you or will quit the game. Ou
the other hand ii it does please you he
will take it as special favor, IL you
kindly make it known to him.
