At 'the same time, Senator Bilbo

challenged the Government to en-.
force the right of Negroes to vote ir

this State from running the white

they should be rum"

While there were Virginians on

The Commonwealth of Virginia has

Like writing for a weekly news

about this arrangement. This init

goes a long way toward breaking

Highly important too, is the total

WNU Service, 1916 Eye Street, N. W.
Washington, D. C.
In these days when there is so
much talk about co-operatives, I
would like to take this opportunity
to say something about cooperative
sponsorship of radio. It is a differ
ent kind of coop, of course, but it
has done a lot for broadcasting. It
simply means that instead of hav-
ing one big company sponsor a
program over whole network, a
local concern in each town hires"
US. That is why I say the name of
my boss is legion.
There are many advantages in
this plan from a purely material
standpoint. But to me, the greatest,
from the broadcaster's point of view
is the fact that coop sponsorship
provides a tremendous psychology
cal tonic. It gives me what I call
an e-pluribus-unum boost, because
I have feeling that lot of peo-
pie have cleo ed me to my
job instead of one man hiring me.
I feel that I have become a citizen
in a sort of new-found economic
democracy.
Now from the listeners stand
point: When a program is sponsored
locally, the townsfolk are bound to
look on it with a lot more intimacy.

Virginia. 1t was Lord Fairfax who
introduced fox-hunting to Virginia.
Between the Blue Ridge and the
Alleghenies lies the Shenandoah val
ley, once known as the "granary
of the Confederacy." Its climate
is varied, and so are its crops. It
presents a picture of wooded noun
tain slopes, well-kept farms and cat
tie, fields of corn and wheat, and
fruit-laden trees.
Shenandoah valley, unlike the
Tidewater and Piedmont, was not
settled by English colonists, but by
sturdy Germans from Pennsylvania
and pioneering Scotch-Irish. They
knew the long rifle, the coonskin
cap, the log cabin and all the ad-
ventures of the frontier.
It was the northern part of Shen-
andoah valley that felt the ravages
of war, not only in colonial days
but later when there was war be-
tween the states. Few scars remain,
for the luxuriant grass and hon.
eysuckle vines have erased the
physical wounds. Hundreds of
markers along the highways alone
remain to remind the traveller of the
terrors and hardships of another
day.
