neighbors find the radio set in
dispensable. For instance, within
the past month the King, Prince
of Wales and now former Premier

dressed American audiences.
The Balwin voice comes over
the loud speaker this afternoon
To those who wonder why these
broadcasts invariably come in the
middle of the day or the early
morning, the answer is, Of course,
the difference in time.
One of our correspondents calls
attention to the excellence Of a
program heard regularly over
WJSV. 1t is on the air today
at IL q. m. But read the letter
DEAR RADIO EDITOR:
Those of us who are old enough
to remember the days when
THE Old Time Camp Meeting
was in general practice through
out America have been happy of
late to hear over an independ-
ent local station, WJSV, the daily
broadcasts Of the Gospel Singers
from Cheltenham, Md. where a
great camp meeting is in prog
reSS.
The singing of the old songs as
our mothers and fathers and
grandparents used to sing them
touches the tender cord in our
memories. and it gladdens our
hearts to know that the old
songs and the good old gospel re-
ligion is far from a forgotten
factor in Americas busy every
day life.
Very truly yours,
JAMES MONIHAN,
Cottage City, Md.

she sing?"
"Of course mott" replied the
mother Indignantly, and hung up.
