I wish to congratulate station
WRC, through your radio news
column, for the able manner In
which they broadcasted the mid

Sacred Heart Church. WRC and

Through your column I would
like to know what station was
broadcasting Monday night, Decem-
Der "a. The station sounded like
bers were mostly short jazz pieces.
They were broadcasting about 8 :46,
and they said that they were broad
casting for the north pole.
1 would like to know what sta
ton was broadcasting a man and
woman singing about 1920 pm.
The announcer announced WGX or
WKx broadcasting from Arcadia,
and that the next number would
he THAT Old Gang of Nine"

then the weather report cut my
station out. 1 have a three-tube
set. HARRY X. LANGLEY,

Radio Editor:
Much has been said in your radio
news column as to whether we
should have a silent night or not
Kindly let me protest emphatically
against a silent night, and have a
three-tube set, too.
But I have a big kick to register
against the code pest. It seems
when I get good dinner music from
Pittsburgh or some other place some
code comes along and kills Il until
they are through with their message.
I know hundreds of radio fans, but
none interested in code. But I sup

With the local stations going this
nuisance IL overcome. / am for
cutting out code from 4 to IL
pm, seven days a week. / think
both our big stations are doing fine
and should be encouraged.
