Here's what he says:
 Waterbury. Conn.,, s October 20, 1884.

Dear Ray:-
 According to my opinion, are rived at by making contact with people ilidulging in com versatiOns with them, they do not seem to display very much enthusiasm over individual radio programs I'm the manner that they did i'm the past. TO- day you will not hear many people say, "I hate to nllss, Amos m Andy" The rise of the GoIdbcrEs.' or 'tlle Vallce hour'.v You do not hear people repeating with gustO. sayings by various radio performers such as ,"HcllO Ev, eFy- body 10. K. Ailferica'-- 70. K. COlOncl' ? and so on. ls it because radio programs have become lncchanica1 and do not manifest individuality to cause llstcncrs--in to become inter. ested? think that radio needs new blood. with new ideas, . coursing through its veins to bring about the fcrvor of old.
 Sincerely yours.

There's no doubt in our mind as to the correctness of MT Walk er's conclusion that radio needs new blood; 1t certainly does. lots of 1t, However we don't agree with him in regard to general interest in pro. grams and the public popularity of radio catch phrases.
 Many programs which have been on the air for years are still justly popular and retain their audiences of the faithful. As for catch phrases, there are new ones every season: they've grown, rather than decreased, in our estimation. HOW about You. .na-asty man."
