 On Tuesday night the program was started at SIS o'clock and ran until 11:15, and again all re- quests could not be played.

This was an- nounced Curing the day, promptly bringing an offer of s5 for Hagen NOT to sing. A campaign quickly developed Harry to sing or not to sing and by the time the song came over the air, Sl79 had been collected for the one number Then .brash contributor who had pledged S15 toward the number offered to double his offer if the song were sung backward, and so of course it was.
 Final count of money raised by tEc five day program amounted to $572.40. All credit goes to Welch and Brightman who originated the program and devoted hours of their time toward it's success.
