WGHP, Detroit station of the
Columbia Broadcasting System,
will be changed today to WXYz.
The Columbia chain, therefore,
will start and finish the alphabet,
WABC being the New York key
station.
Radio comic strip artists who
like to use WXYZ as a fictitious
station number will have to find
q new combination of letters or
else give the Detroit station free
publicity.
The Prevention of Fourth of
July Motor Casualties" is the
title of a talk to be delivered
tonight from $50 to 5:45 o'clock
over the Columbia Broadcasting
System by Ernest N. Smith, execu-
tive vice president of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association. Lo-
cally from WMAL.
The talk is in furtherance Of
the campaign of the A. A. A. to
make Independence Day safer
and saner for the motorist nd
pedestrian. While deaths from
other accidental causes have de-
creased in recent years, the loss
of life due to motorists on the
Fourth of July has increased.
Last year there were 10 fatal
aties due to motoring accidents
on July Fourth, and in 1928
there were 81. This increase, to-
Rether with the fact that the
Fourth Of July this year will be
followed by the weekend holi-
day with many automobiliSts on
the highways has led the A. A.
A. to make a special appeal for
safe driving.
