RADIO CONCERT
AT CALDWELL'S

Wednesday evening an interest
ing radio concert was heard at the
Caldwell home. The trayelogue man
was first on the program, telling OF
the scenic wonders of Hawaii. He
told of the crater Haleakala on the
island of Maui, then he told of the
live volcano Kileaua, and TO those of
us who had stood on the brink and
looked down at the boiling and
seething lava, it was awe inspiring.
And then he told about that historic
Pail, on the island Of Oahu, seven
miles from Honolulu. His voice was
as clear as if he stood before US, and
just as If he were talking to that
one little audience.
> Next came the children's hour and
il too was marvellous. Uncle John,
the pleasant announcer introduced,
Peggy Warren II year old lass,
who whistled with the assistance of
some canaries. Uncle John asked her
how long she had been whistling and
she hesitated, and we could see
her in our Imagination, bite her
fingers, before she answered, always
but only had lessons two years.
The station from where the nice
voice of Uncle John comes is X. II. J
Los Angeles, the Times office. He
has named his canaries, Kindness, |
Happiness and Joy, for the letters of
bis station. He next announced that
Charles Ray, the screen idol would
entertain us with a reading from
James Whitcomb Riley"s poem, 1.-The
Girl love" And after he had finish
ed told us that it had been screened.
Uncle John told us fairy story
of Jackie and his dog Bling, and at
the end gave the quotation, A thing
of Beauty is joy forever Telling
the children that they were things
Of beauty and joy to their parents.
After the children's program we
heard variety One lad played a
wonderful violin solo, Barcarolle,
from the Tales of Hoffman. Then at
Fort Worth Texas some old timer
was playing for square dance with
MS fiddle, making just as much noise
keeping time with his foot. From
here we were switched to Pullman,
and listened to the glee

gain were returned to San Fran
DISCO station and listened to an in

n a deep base voice we heard the
ltest news from Ireland and of the
ew leader there. c
At different times we listened in r
t Portland and always heard a jazz
