Mutual To Record
Front Line Action

Dave Driscoll, Director of the War
Services and News Division for Mu-
uaPs New York affiliate, WOR, will
leave for North Africa within four
or five weeks to record the activities
of our armed forces overseas.
His trip will mark the first at
tempt by radio station to make
actual recordings of front line &C
ton for listener presentation.
Driscon will not attempt to in
terpret the news or in any way to
act as an authority on military aft
fairs. He will concentrate on the
human interest side of the war, and
will make his recordings during ac-
tual battle conditions when the in
vasion gets under way.
Driscoll is going overseas as an
oberver, recording whatever events
and incidents he feels will hold par
ticular interest for Mutual listeners.
The records will be flown back to
this country as they are recorded
and presented over the station in a
series of special broadcasts. When
the recordings contain news of ut
most importance it is expected they
will be broadcast from nearest avail
able Allied tranSmitters.
Driscoll has selected North Africa
as his overseas headquarters because
he feels it is one of the logical
'taking-off'' places for the coming
European invasion. The length of
his stay abroad will depend on the
development of the war.
The recording equipment to be
used by Driscoll consists primarily
OF a portable machine weighing IS
pounds which can be operated by
the batteries in an airplane, tank or
jeep.

Signing OFF

Most of us, when the station to
which we are tuned gets ready to
sign off for the night, either switch
off the radio or tune in another
station.
But if you happen to be listening
to WEI tonight at Ills (their
signing off time), we suggest you
stay tuned to the station until the
sign off is completed with the sing
ing of our National Anthem (and in
cidentally, listen for the sopranos

We have heard many novel and
interesting sign off announcements,
but we have never heard one that
carries the inspiring message of
WJEJS, and when you hear it we
believe you will agree with us.

by arrangement with other
publishers as well as with au-
thors, we reprint in the approx
ed Readers Digest manner the
best detective fiction to be
