They take our letters, either per-
sonal or to newspapers, and have
them retyped on ministerium sta
tionery and then mail them, retain
ing the original in case you or any
one should ever get curious as to
exactly what 1t was you wrote, and
then put the copy into a ministerium
envelope and then, since 1t has al
ready been read. in Berlin to see
that it contains no military or other
Objectionable information, it is not
held for military censorship at the
border, but goes direct by Clipper
to the British, who delay 1t some
more and then you get it.
It was unoflicially intimated that
the reason for this was that some Of
the Balkan journalists just might
have been writing in invisible ink on
their copy, so the recopying obviates
any Chemical tests. Any spiritual
tests necessary are conducted in the
ministerium. OF course, we are still
free to use the old channels If we
like, but most of the boys are now
doing it this way because it should
be quicker, and you may be sure
that it is a very great convenience

There is about as much tension

Kansan, he had spent many of
those hot Sunday afternoons which
try the souls and nerves of men
waiting to see whether the gather
ing storm will pass, or break in all
its fury, sweeping away lifes work

The trouble with the clipper serv-
ice is that the British are said to
be taking our mailbags off the ship
at Bermuda, holding it week while
they read everything, and putting
it back on the next clipper a week
later. I am for democracy, but l
wish our State Department would
raise little hell about this. (Note:

Mrs. White comments that it ap-

mail received thus far)
I only got my permission to send
cables today, and can only send press
messages to the New York Post, as
private kilograms Of any nature are
absolutely forbidden, but Of course
the government let's you tack per-
Sonal messages on the end of these.

ALAN COURTNEY'S PROGRAM UNUSUAL
ExtempOraneous Offering From Start to Finish
 Heard Friday Nights

Informal is hardly the word when referring to that squirrel Alan Courtney, chaser of glooms, who has wit like a pogo stick. Currently he is heard twice weekly over WATR-Mutual, on Thursday morn ings, 11:45 to 12:00, and on Friday nights, 9:30 to 10:00.
 Courtney's Friday night explosion of money business and music is just about the only major network show that is hilariously extemporaneous from start to finish, with no timing, no frantic appeals to studio au- diences for appropriate applause.
 One minute before The Gloom chasers are supposed to be off the air a large and soulless gong sounds That means Courtney has to put on his brakes and wind up the pro- gram for the night, while the or chestra swings into his own theme song-a Courtney production known to millions and titled Start the Day With A Smile"
 It's all pretty unorthodox but MT. and Mrs. America laugh themselves silly. Which is why they come back week after week.

 MT. Weber, internationally re- nowned conductor and pianist, has a record of twenty years as con- ductor of world famous operatic orchestras. On the Monday night Pageant of Melody" broadcasts. heard at 10:30, he features the voice of Margery Mayer, twenty year-old contralto, who made her debut with the Chicago City Opera Company last year. Featured on the Concert Revue" programs on Thursday night at 10:00 is Kathryn Witwer, soprano, whose lyric voice is known and loved from coast to coast.
 Both the Pageant of Melody. and the Concert Revue" have gained for MT. Weber and his sup porting cast the enthusiastic praise of critics the country over.

ADDITIONS ASKED
 OF CITY ARTISTS
WATR Staff Spends Much Time Grooming Pros-
 pective HOpefuls

Realizing that, as Waterbury's network station, WATR must also maintain high quality in its local features, the program department f the station has established rigid standard for ally-produced shows.
 Local talent is not allowed on the air until a thorough addition has been satisfactorily passed, and even tten, much time is spent in groom ing the prospective hopeful for his or her first air appearance.
 Among the artists who have been with WATR for several years are Domenic and Anthony Mecca, Sing ing Bill, Ann Del Crosse, Carl's Barn Dance Gang, William O'Brien, Ray Purcell, the Pine Valley Drift CTS, Arlene and Lawrence Larrivee. More recent additions to the WATR talent roster include the Harmony Boys, the ID" Sisters, Helen Jamele, Ruth Cullen, Hawaiian Tune Twist CTS, Serenading Strings, Helen Byrnes, Josephine Stance, and Rose Mageluzzo.
 Many of these artists have been invited to appear on other stations at various times, indicating that their work is highly regarded by others and that the strict regulation of the addition department has not been in vain.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-28

cannot be said of the European ra- dio broadcasts. In Europe all broad casting facilities are controlled by the government. Radio owners must pay a substantial tax for the priv ilege" of listening to all sorts of propaganda and to programs which lack the variety and finesse tc which American audiences are accustom- ed. European programs certainly cannot compare with the fare of- fered by such networks as the Ma tional Broadcasting company, the Mutual Broadcasting system, and the Columbia Broadcasting system.
 Cause Explained
 When we ask what causes this vast difference, the answer to the question is-"Radio advertising and private ownership of broadcasting facilities" Since radio in America is a private industry, and rightfully SO, it must pay its own way by obtaining a source of revenue. A radio station has only time to sell Its sole source of income is, there fore, the sale of that time for ad- vertising purposes. It thus becomes an economic necessity to have many sponsored programs. The sponsor pays the station for the time, which is usually divided into three classes quarter-hour, half-hour, and full hour. In addition, the sponsor pays the artists appearing on the pro- gram. In many cases the cost of the talent far exceeds the cost of station time. It would probably cost $500 or $400 to see many of the stars in person, but the advertiser
