Three DAYS OF
XMAS MUSIC

Tune that new radio set any
where-and you'll get the bunch TO
come back to WRC or WMAL. from
one or the other of which you'I get
most anything you'd find on otner
wave lengths!
That is the best way we know OF
crowding into b few lines left sor us
to write before Christmas the hex
three days Of radio broadcasting. Of
course, you'll want to try the gift re-
ceiver for distance.
You'll probably get a squeal or
two from Fort Worth or Boston or
Miami-with a tune or two OF good
music. But if you're wise you'll read
the printed directions with the set,
adjust it according to those 2ainfed
directions. and not try to do too
much with it until you get the feel
OF the dials in your fingers.
