Radio takes q great deal of criti-
cism, much of 1t no doubt deserved,
but there also are moments when
radio does as fine job as you could
ask of it. One of these moments
occurs regularly on Sunday at 1890
pm, when a program called Yours
Sincerely" takes the air over the
Columbia Broadcasting Systems ia
cilities.
Never before, perhaps. have we
been so in need Of mutual under
standing between the peoples Of the
world. The more we learn Of our
neighbor-and the airplane has
made every one on the planet a
neighbor-the more we progress to-
ward a world united in at least its
will to keep the peace. When you
discover another man to be very
much like yourself, you can hold
him neither in awe, nor fear, nor
contempt.
There Is far too little of this
mutual understanding, though. It is
most glaringly evident when 1t en-
compasses two large groups OF hu-
mans who speak very much the same
language. Far too few OF us know
far too little about the minor ways
of life in the British Isles. The re-
verse is equally true. We remem-
ber. for example, the utter surprise
with which a young American flyer,
the product of one of the Southern
colleges, greeted the discovery that
such things as modern plumbing
were not only known about, but used
in Great Britain. He had thought
every land beyond the borders OF
the United States jungle inhabited
bv only the most backward types.
This is the field in which Yours
Sincerely" operates. 1t is trans
Atlantic exchange program, ar
ranged by CHS and the British
Broadcasting Corp. 1t is ready at
any time to answer your questions
about the British and any Britons
questions about you. 1t is this per-
son-to-person touch that makes 1t
all the more effective. The ques-

and answered by their opposite
numbers. Lionel Gamlin, for ex-
ample, reads letter from British
bow who wants to know what dis
cipline American children face for
lapses of behavior. Charles Colling-
wood, on this side, does not answer,
but by the next week he has letter
from some young voice of experience
in this country.
A Welsh coal miner, for another
example, wants to know what min
ing Is like in Pennsylvania and
veteran of the Pennsylvania pits is
called to the yours Sincerely"
microphones to reply. A few weeks
ago, a British lass described the
sports she liked and wanted to know
If American girls INDUCED in like
activities. Mr.. Collingwood, appar-
emily a sheltered type, made some
mention of bowling and let 1t go at
that. But the week following Yours
Sincerely" carried the voice OF
Midwestern coed, describing pro-
gram of athletic activity that must
have left her English counterpart
breathless.
This is a half"hour as informing
as it Is entertaining. II some ar

a hand in the drafting of the famed

feet in the operation of WQQW.
Among other things, commercial an
nouncements will be limited to four

A Shon Short Story
WHEN it came time to take the bandages

Suppose the surgery had failed. kept hold
of myself by concentrating on what the
surgeon had told me before the operation.
"You must not let yourself hope, Mr..
Renton," he'd said. "You must be pre-
pared for complete disappointment

had.
Il can't tell you," he replied Its
possible you'll have perfect vision Or
you may remain stone blind. And
there's third alternative-the worst"
He paused, then continued: Il don't
mean you'll die - the third alternative is
even worse, believe, than that
How could that be?" said Maria, my wife,
1T may be that your husband will emerge
from this operation perfectly able to see.
Then, in day or week, his sight may begin
to blur, the world grow dark, and finally,
within few hours, he may again be totally
blind. If that happens, there can be no
second operation - the vision will be hope

MARIA said nothing, but knew she was
praying silently.
Are you still game?" the surgeon asked.
Il have nothing to lose," answered. I'd
been blind from birth. I'd never seen light,
or color. I'd lived always in a world with
which my principal contacts were touch and
sound. If the operation failed, it failed. I'd
have lost nothing
But now, as felt the surgeons deft fingers
loosening the bandages, had few bad
moments. had so much to gain so much!
Things seemed formless at first, and the
light was painful. Then all at once, as my
eyes adapted themselves, everything cleared
up and had first look at my new life.
They must be white, these dazzling walls.

said wonderingly. We both laughed, happy as
children. The surgeon smiled too. He looked
Just about as thought surgeon should look
