I read with great interest your
column, and would feel lost with
out the daily published list OF
stations with their programs.
The habit of some people pub
fishing or writing you and request
ous matter to the radio audience
at large. A person who requests
a silent night is the type of per-
son who would like to have his
street shut of when he is sick. be-
cause the noise annoys him. With
him is the type Of people who
want IL to rain when It 10 fair and
after all our two great big sta
tions-brother and sister, as 1t
were-have done for us, that q
certain narrow-minded class OF
people casts a cloud on our other
wise clear and harmonious radio
sky. >.

was brpadcasting early Thursday
morning, Januery g.. between 1:45
and 2 am, when a jazz orchestra

the Corner" and just before the
jazz orchestra. q soprano sang ,ns:
"sweethearts." The operator
when he signed Off did not call MS

ful column. MILES e. MYERS.
