Remember the time when Amos and Andy were at the height of their popularity, and people altered their dinner hours SO as not to con- flict with the Amos and Andy broad- castsp That was Q number of years ago. I remember I was one of the program's fans, and of another - Q weekly broadcast. the name of which, I have forgotten. All I remember was Q lugubriouS charae. ter called Iva Lutey, and that the scene was usually set in an old style country general store.
 That program had c great, home. ly popular appeal, so great in fact, that in the small upstate New York village where I was living at the time, no one ever made Q date for the evening of the broadcast un- less it was to listen to 1t jointly with friends or neighborS. It iS fortu. nate 1t didn't conflict with Late Night. Late Night" was the one when all the stores In the village remained open until ten o'clock 50 that outlying farmers could come to town to do their shopping for the week, What would have hap- pened had Radio Night" and Late Night" come in conflict I don't know, but I have Q Sneaking suspic. ion that Late Night" would have been moved forward or ahead.
 Sometimes I think of those "Late Nights" back in that little village when I watch the crowds Swarmins Into the shops of Q Thursday eve' ming in Waterbury. And wonder # some of them aren't wishing they were sitting ct home listening to Fred Warnings swell ' o'clock show over WATR or John NeSbitt'S Pass. ing Parade, CBS at 7:lb, or the Charley Chan drama at 7:3o, WfTAF' or The Answer idan or WOR at 7:46 or Frank Morgan, ass Daley, Eric Diore and Robert Young, at Q over WEAF, or Lem n Abner ,at e:lb over WATR, or that great debating session "Aineriea'S Town Meeting of the Air" at 9:S0 over tho same station, If I had to decide which to do-go shopping on .
