most Of us will testify that the yer.

tanning as Ely" as he was during
the days he was Cotton" and thus
became one OF our hest loud speaker

designed to exploit Cook and his
partners and does 1t nicely. For
those critics who think there Is 4
bit too much beIIicose talk between
the two principal comedians atten-
tion IS directed to the fact that
warning personalities are always the
basis Of sparkling dialogue ana true
comedy and that il what they are
In this case. The program is much
worth while and We hope 1t will be-

RUSSIAN MUSIC
SCORES BIG HIT
The ..Slumber Music" hour has
been growing steadily In popular
favor ever since 1t became 4 nightly
local feature and last evenings
performances was one Of the best
we've heard The program was
entirely Russian Tschaikowslxy.
GlAzenow. Rubenstein and others.
The Russians have brought to COM
position not only very high mas.
terry Of the science Of music, but
constant thought Of the human
element that is not apparent In any
other national group of composers
we know. Hence there is a heart
appeal to practically all Russian
music which finds response every
where.
The regular programs were very
regular and Of high standard The
United States Army Band provided
the high spot OF the WMAT4 program
and the program Of festival music
from various countries OF the world
by the Maxwell contingent registered
the big feature OF the WIZ output.
Listeners are informed that the
McLarin MandeIl fight will be
broadcast this evening at 3 o'clock.
The fight will not be broadcast by

RED GROSS AIDS
PHILIPPINES
By KENNETH CLARK


The Red Cross is winning It's
fight against tropical diseases in
the desolate hinterland regions Of
the Philippines.
Reports from the nurses and doc
tors engaged in the work read like
pages from Embarrassing movie
thrillers. The story is not unlike
that unfoIded during the battle
against the yellow fever menace in
the canal zone.
Travelling on horseback or by foot
across mountains and through
iungles, in tiny steamers from
island to island. in outrigger canoes
over lakes and lagoons, sometimes
caught in fyphoons. at times men
aced by crocodiles or deadly snakes,
the nurses quietly and unoetenta-
tiously, carry modern health
methods into the nipa-built villages
to replace the primitive medicine
and superstitions of those natives
who live back beyond" the prog
ress OF civilization.
Boon To Agriculture
The winning OF the fight is an aid
to the development of agriculture
and industry.
Epidemics of cholera, malaria,
typhoid and dysentery sweep the
native villages at frequent inter-
walls. Whenever these are reported
nurses and doctors set out through
the wilds to render succor.
Here are some of the experiences
described in the regular reports SUBJ
mitted by the nurses:
II was barefooted. hiking day
after day through rice fields, sugar
