Henry Armstrong Wine Program
Barred By Radio Station

NEW YORK-(ANP) - The
w. o. V. Broadcasting company
waited until the morning of the
initial broadcast to inform the
Henry Armstrong-Skouras Wine
Corp. that their program, half
hour of entertainment featuring
leading Negro orchestras, would
not be aired Monday evening.
Repeated telephone calls to the
stations offices only brought
the response that Paul Gerard,
general manager, was "too busy
to speak to this reporter, or to
make any comment on the ban.
From ether sources, however,
it was learned that the station
dropped the program because of
a change in policy in which "a
stronger note for Americanism
is to be emphasized. This is in
definite contrast to its policy

which puzzles the batters, is his
famous "speedball" which IS de-

Our Government has asked us to

of the defense financing program
falls heavily upon feminine shoul-

of the family income and they must
be the ones to cut the corners. save
on incidentals. and shop around in
order to save the money with which
to buy the stamps.
Whenever womanhood has been

the result always has been highly
successful. Buying the stamps and

What do you think of it?"
I think that you have hit on the
most practical solution of the
divorce evil that has ever been sug-
gested. because If mothers knew
that if instead of getting rid of
their daughters when they got mar
ried that they would be returned
to them if they didn't give satisfac-
ton they would take the trouble
to teach them how to be good wives
instead of spelling them so rotten
that they are unfit for any man to
marry And If the girls knew that
they would be sent back to mother
if they were not competent house
keepers they would get busy with the
pots and pans and put the delicates-
sen stores out of business.
No girl would expect to be a we'll

she knew nothing about selling
goods or taking dictation. Nor
would she expect to hold down her
position if she took no interest in
her work, if she never learned how
to do it properly and never did any
thing on time.
Yet the great majority of girls
marry without ever knowing how
to cook or even intending to learn
how to prepare a decent meal. The
girl who wouldn't dream of punch
ing the time clock late in an Office
refuses to get up and get her hus-
bands breakfast. The one who
wouldn't think of such a thing as
turning in a sloppy letter doesn't
even make up the beds at home.
But what a reformation there
would be in wives if they knew they
only held their jobs on good be-
havior and that they would be sent
back to mother If they didn't give
satisfaction!
