I saw in your radio news a
letter from d. J. s.. inquiring
about the station in Philadelphia
whose first three letters are
VIA. According to the radio call
book. there is no such station in
Philadelphia.
On the night of December 20 I
heard station broadcasting and
he gave his call letters WIAD,
Howard r. Miller, Philadelphia.
And the announcer gave the ad-
dres. The radio call book said
WIAD, Howard r. Miller, Is in
Ocean City, n. J. I am sure the
announcer said WIAD, because he
said many fans get the last let
ter mixed up, and said the last
letter was the fourth letter in the
alphabet.
There ought to be one silent
night. The crystal set owners
wouldn't miss one night out of a
week.
I hope to see the Radio News
grow into one sheet of The Star
every night A FAN,

station which signed off at 6 :e1

casting reports of stolen automo-
bi1es. This was followed by

signed off with the following:

Dear Miss Brooks:
We are readers of your corner Be-

the splendid answers you give the boys
and girls. Our opinion of petting Is,
that a girl who permits any boy or
man to pet and kiss her has lost her
self respect. The harm in petting
brings on an everlasting disgrace to
the girls who permit 1t.
