l
 When We were Seventeen" We
 boarded the train again and would
 have remained on it. but we fell off
 the observation platform as par ticularly sharp turn was being ne gotiated and we had to walk all the
 hours trip. We arrived late in the
 evening, tired but happy. and all present voted the trip one of the
 most enjoyable since the formation
 of the Happy Hour Social Circle . 1 WGY, Schenectady. came through very we'll. A short musical program
 was being presented by the orches- ,tra. one selection being Swing Me
 High, Swing Me Low" On to WAR, Providence. where we heard a WEAF program. WT1C was on the
 air at the time and We didn't hear a
 peep from the Hartford lroadcaster. ! The Silvertown orchestra played
 Dawn of Tomorrow" ard -Four
 Leaf Clover. Found A Very good and na' mush sta'c.
 WIZ crashed through delightfully."-, l Max Eischers orchestra playing, | There's Everything Nice About
 You" with vocal chorus, in addition to medley of popular fox trots. l WLW. Cincinnati. came through quite strong and we nearly fell off our chair at being able to bring in
 such wonderful distance. There was some static, but not 9 whole lot.
 Hey! Hey" and Hold On Tight were played by the Nighthawks. Ma so ba'.
 Then we went to WTAM, Cleve- land. where we overlook the Silver town orchestra once more. The sta ton was loud enough and we breezed right along. landing at Atlantic City, WPG is the station, just in time to hear Irving Berlin's Remember" played on the pipe organ. It was a request program. and after we heard that Mrs. Charles Limply of August City, Iowa. wanted to hear some thing or other, We left.
 VEAL, Baltimore was true to its trust. Volume was good and the static didn't have thing to say about it. Say. did you ever hear about the fellow who was so tight that he sifted .his cigarette ashes? (Walla-Walla papers please copy). The VEAL dance orchestra, having received copies of sam, The Old Accordion Man," played it, together with Maybe"
