RADIO CLUB BEING
FORMED BY CITIZENS

President Moore of the Delta Lions
Club last week appointed William p.
Dale and Frank Stearns to assist him
in outlining plans for radio club for
the benefit of Delta and surrounding
territory.
The committee lost no time after 4
few visits to the local station installed
by Messrs. Stanford and Schultz,
where speeches, concerts, ETC., have
been plainly heard.
Several plans for forming a local
radio club were carefully considered
and it has been definitely decided to
secure forty members at $40 each
The amount subscribed by member
entities him to perpetual member
ship, or, in other words, he is paid
in full to enjoy all benefits of the
club. The upkeep of the station will
be maintained by a small admission
fee to non-members.
The committee has secured more
than half of the membership and col
lected the money. The membership is
not restricted to any one class and
those who desire to become charter
members may do SO by notifying any
member of the committee. But it
must be remembered only forty char
ter members will be admitted.
All charter members .and the Delta
Lions Club are going to have ladies'
night in the very near future.
The station will be of sufficient ca
pacity to amplify a concert or speech
from Denver before a Delta audience
just as clearly as though you were in
that city attending the function.
