RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
Early Wednesday morning l heard
station on about 2S5 meters re-
broadcasting the program OF wQJ of
Chicago. In one announcement /
heard WDW, Columbia. This station
signed off at 2:20 o'clock. Can you
or any of the fans tell me what sta
tion it was and where 1t is located p
MARVIN BASCOM.
WDBW, Columbia, Tenn. may have
been the station you heard, although
we have no record of it retransmit-.
ting WQJ's program. 1t uses the 26s-
meter wave.
Radio Editor:
Will you please tell me what sta
tion in Philadelphia was broadcast
Ing band music Sunday evening about
$50 o'clock?-MR. HOLLAND.
- The advance programs of the Phil
adelphia stations did not schedule
band concert. Perhaps some of the
fans can identify the station.
Radio Editor:
Regarding the suggestion offered
by Mr. viii E. Smith that we radio
fans might more proftably be fa-
vored with less "Roxie" and more
Christ on Sunday evenings, 1 venture
to express surprise at his somewhat
puritanica1 view.
Let US remember that we are al
ready favored both morning and aft
crnoon by regular church services.
That for those who are SO religiously
inclined it would be more profitable
to themselves to put on their hat and
coat and attend an evening church
service at the seat of worship rather
than remain comfortably at home.
For those who labor six full days
week, l voice a loud appeal for such
Sunday evening relaxations as we
now are so fortunate in possessing

In reply to the suggestion in The
Star of February "a that WCAP
should broadcast some church service
Sunday evening instead of Roxie and
his gang: No one believes in our
need of more religion more than I do.
] believe it is our duty to worship
God in some place of worship on the
Sabbath l believe it is a very good
thing to broadcast religious services
on the Sabbath.
But, in view of the fact that
WCAP does broadcast two church
services every Sunday, one at IL am.
and one at pm, i wonder if Mr..
Smith does not think that a third
religious service later in the evening
-
should be expected Of the general
radio public.
Roxie has brought untold pleasure
into many hearts that are heavy.
He has brought more sunshine into
weary lives than any other man or
woman on earth. He has done more
good in a real material way in the
few years we have been privileged to
hear him and his gang on the air
than most ministers do in their en-
tire career. He has preached many
A sermon in a few minutes, far more
significant than many sermons We
have listened to for a half hour and
longer, one of which, a real thing of
beauty, was given us on last Sunday
evening.
1 am a church member myself, con-
tribute regularly to the support of
a church and am more or less active
in the activities of the church, but
| can't believe that the innocent
pleasure Roxie and his gang give to
the world can be so terribly wicked.
/ can even sympathiZe with those who
stay home from church services on a
Sunday evening and listen to these
artists, whose services are SO cheer
fully given to the public.
l rather think that substituting an
evening church service for RoXie
would work more harm than good,
for many people who, before the days
Of radio, had no interest whatever in
anything of a religious nature, do
listen in to religious services on Sun
days, but might become disgusted IL
on a Sunday evening all they could
tune in on, were third religious
service for the day instead of some
thing in lighter vein. r. c. r.
