the first broadcasts of their kind ever
presented.
Radio Appeals Passed Up.
"It seems" he said, that boards
Of public welfare, supported by pub
lie funds. have no occasion to ap-
peal for help over the radio, and
have consequently passed up that
method of presenting their work to
the public We hope to show the
Washington taxpayer what he is get
ting for his money, and to tell him
bow he may use the l8 welfare agen-
Nes under the boards jurisdiction. }"
