GREAT PROGRAM
WAS BROADCAST
SUNDAY EVENING

The Zenith Portable Broadcasting
Station WJAZ, under the auspices of
the local Zenith radio dealers, the
Hays-Hilliard Hardware company,
broadcasted an excellent program
from the auditorium of the high
school building on Sunday evening
Of this week. A fair sized crowd
gathered at the school building that
evening and watched the actual oper-
alton of sending out on the air of
the program. Many Rawlins resi-
dents heard the program on their
radio sets in their homes.
Although the plans were made for
the broadcasting on Saturday eve
ming and a fair sized audience was
in the auditorium that night and
many OF the performers were on
hand, a report came in that the
truck had been delayed thus it was
necessary to advance the broadcast
ing to Sunday evening. However,
not to make the evening a loss the
Parco quartette entertained the
crowd with four selections.
The opinion Of practically all who
witnessed the broadcasting and heard
the program OF their sets, vas that
it equalled many of the programs
that have been given in much larger
cities. Rawlins and Parco harbor
several talented entertainers and
their work on Sunday night was OF
exceptional quality.
The audience sang America as the
opening number on the program.
This was followed by about a ten
minute talk on "Rawlins" by I. w.
Dinsmore. Although brief, Dins-
more's address was very good. w.
H. Hunt Of Parco. sang two selec-
tons, THE Drum Major" and "a
Tragic Tale" Practically all resi-
dents have heard Mr.. Hunt sing thus
it is not necessary to state that the
numbers were thoroughly enjoyed.
Owe Peterson accompanied Mr.. Hunt
on the piano.
II. ~Breitenstein. president of the
Parco Chamber OF Commerce. gave
about a five minute talk on 'Parco."
His talk was also very good and to
the point. Following this number
Mr.. B~reitenstein sang two solcs. the
Turkeys Song" from Rob Roy and
Friend O. Mine" by Wilfred Sand
erson. This part OF the program
was enjoyed by all present. Mr..

from a tour OF Colorado where they
played practically every afternoon
and evening. The trip gave them n
great deal Of practice and the or
chestra now plays rs N man-it
is hard to find a better orchestra in
any state west OF the Mississippi.
Mr.. Breitenstein again appeared
on the program and sang two more
numbers. "Violets' by Ellen Wright
and "Chip OF the Old Block" The
orchestra broadcasted several more
selections, Mr.. Hunt sang Captain
Mac" and THE Little Irish Girl" and
the orchestra finished up the pro-
gram by playing q number OF Sc
lections.
As a whole the program was ex-
ceptional and every selection was en-
poyed. Rawlins residents. us well as
those who are in the near vicinity
and have radio sets. are indeed
grateful for the opportunity OF watch
ing the broadoasting and hearing the
program. The persons who appeared
on the program are TO be thanked
for giving Rawlins and Parco this
opportunity.
