RADIO NEWS

washington radio fans, according
to reports, have responded generously
to the plea Of WEAF for funds
with which to secure for broadcast
ing the talents of eminent artists.
The amount of subscriptions receiv-
ed from the Washington audience of
the New York station, however has
not. yet been revealed.
One local fan has submitted for
publication In this column a conv of
letter to the radio music fund com
m1ttee. Because of the unusual in
, ,a,,s' ana sishlncance attached to the
novel plan for raising funds for broad
casting purposes. this letter is nub
lished. 1t follows:
Radio Music Fund Committee.
Central Union Trust Company.
Dear Sirs:
AS a result of reading the an
ncuncemnt of the creation of the
radio music fund committee, tho
main purpose of which is to Sc
cure the talents of eminent ar
lists for radio programs. / am in
closing herewith my check for So
as my initial contribution.
The announced activity of your
committee is something l have
thought Of repeatedly, and 1 am
tndI TIE venture mas been
undertaken by such responsible
people as those whose names APP
peared in the announcement,
believe that the opportunities for
real public service which your
committee will meet are perhaps
at this time but little realized,
and l only hope that the response
of the public will be such as to
insure an suspicious commence
ment Of your work and it's wide
and permanent development.
1t seems to me it would be well
for the radio fund on receipt of
contributions to furnish the con-
tributors with not only a formal
receipt covering the amount of the
contribution but with some sort
of certificate or seal, small but
artistic and attractive in style, to
be affixed to the receiving set of
the contributor. SO that all lis
teners-in would know that the
owner of the particular set
through which they may be lis
tening had made his contribution
toward worthwhile radio pro-
grams In this way q certain

1t has also occurred to me that
the amount of individual contri-
buttons should be kept down to a
nominal sum to be paid annually.
Tie suggested certificate or seal
could be changed each year 50
that a glance at the set would
show whether or not that set had
met it's moral obligation" in the
form of a contribution. OF course,
each broadcasting station under
such plan would have it's own
atrikingly Individual certificate or
seal.
Would it not also be well to
consider securing the services of
eminent actors and actresses for
radio programs under the same
plan proposed for securing the
services of vocal and musical ar
fists" An interesting scene from
one of the classic plays or WORTH
while modern plays by dramatic
artist of recognized ability would
seem to be insured the same APP
preciation as the work of musi-
cal artists. OF course, in the in
itial stages of the proposed work.
it might be advisable to confine
your efforts to musical programs
in order to develop what response
from the public can be relied
upon to justify wider activities.
L feel sure that If the contribu-
tons are limited to nominal sums
and their voluntary rayment en-
cOuraged' in some way, as by the
certificate or seal suggested above,
the plan is bound to succeed.
