Dwight Stebbins in Morris. Police
reports, news Of concerts sermons and
fluctuations Cf the stock market all
come to him over his radio phone

when most of the town is getting
ready for bed Dwight turns on the
light in his shop, seats himself before
his phone adjust his receiver, and the
entertainment begins.
Pittsburgh tells him a Miss Brown
elocution teacher will give three
recitations after which a
