to the argument that a little pre-
costly is deadly thing, but through
the years it has rocked audiences
with laughter. If last nights audi

that is because the jest has lost
some of its freshness, although the

usually the case.

well, for the last II years the
policy of the station has been SER

listening audience the type of pro-

four years, we have tried to get
our power increase so that we
would reach a greater majority of
people and thus spread the name
of Wilmington with stronger
power, we will go beyond Fayet-

rection and southwark to George

be guided by our original policy

to be on the air with our increas-
