 Among the beliefs that people have carried over with them from childhood is the one that Nero sat
 calmly by and merrily played a gay tune on his fiddle while the splendor of Rome was gradually reduced to mere bed of ashes. This and hundreds of other ideas with an equally firm grip on the mind of the public are once and for all laid low in the course of
 the radio prOgram-"DOn't You
 Believe It!"-sponsored by the P. Lorillard company. As a matter
 of fact, the fiddle had not yet come into being in those days. Of course, some people might argue that it was simply case of mis-
 taken instruments, But while Rome burned, naughty Nero was miles away at his villa! So the chances are he has even cheated out of the spectacle of whole city envelOped in furious flames! Tune in on WOR every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:45 to 8 p. m., and hear many of your pet be- liefs torn to verbal shreds!
