Your correspondent had the privi-
lege of using his radio outfit to
good advantage Sunday afternoon
Twin City Station WLAG to listen to
The program broadcast by the repre-
sentatives of the Mankato Fedora
ton of Music clubs. The artists ap-
pearing on the program we're the
Misses Wayne Schippel and Ruth
Iingles. These young ladies are both
talented musicians and it was indeed
a pleasure to hear them. Radio Is
sure a fine thing and with the COM
ing of the fall and winter months
one is assured of hearing the best
n the country. Only a short while
90 the writer had the opportunity
OF hearing Everitt Dodds, former
Iankato boy, sing from Station
WOAW at Omaha, Neb. His selec-
lions consisted of the famous Lau-
der songs and he surly did justice to
them.
