manner in which a musical program
gets on the air, from conception to

An overdose OF daytime radio
probably has been responsible for
more relapses than medical science
dreams of. Any man not accustomed
to daytime readio can be consider
ably shaken by it, especially if in a
weakened condition when he en-
counters it. The conscientious OBJ
server of the broadcast scene who
Is confined to his bed with radio
for company follows a routine that
seldom varies.
He lies there for awhile refusing
to believe what he hears. After a
time his strength begins to return
and his mind clears. He realizes his
ears have not been betraying him :;
the william is somewhere else. Finally
he summons all his energies to the
task of dragging himself to a type
writer, from thence to belabor the
thing called soap opera.
Well, we have discovered, with no
regret, that we are not the con-
scientious observer we always
thought. We took the easy way out
when confined with the radio: we
just tuned in WQQW. Soft music,
old Welsh madrigals and minimum
of singing commercials-that's a
what a man needs when he has be-
come a vast bacteria culture.

When Hollywood made a movie
of The Hucksters," a number of
radio people were irked. There were
reports, even, that reprisals had
been threatened. Radio, of course,
may wear an air of injured inno-
cence when the charge is made, hut
it does seem to be getting even with
the movies. 1t turns out to have been
the easiest thing in the world to do
involving only the use of the hoist
on-own-petard technique.
The motion picture industry is the
sponsor of a new radio show called
Lets Go to the Movies" (WOL-
Wednesday, $50 p.m.). The program
designed to whet the entertainment
appetites of movie fans, is half
hour dramatization of the high lights
of a current motion picture. The
idea, apparently, is to so arouse the
curiosity of listeners that they will
not be able to relax until they have
rushed out to the Bijou to see how
the thing ends.
In effect, Lets Go to the Movies
is half f-hour radio. version of the
coming attractions trailer" you see
at the movie theater. In other
words, 1t is half-hour radio
program devoted entirely to the
commercial. Who's huckster now?
1t Is not likely that civil war will
break out in the United States this
week. 1t is not likely that the South
will secede and send troops up
through Pennsylvania in an attempt
to encircie the Capital You hadn't
foreseen anything of the sort, you
may say, but we'd better get things
straight, anyhow.

Many of Delaware's early apples
We're reduced in grade and a high
percentage of the late crop is also

FACTS for
the VETERAN
(Ameriean Red Cross News
Service)

Louis NJ, now &c, had been a
farm hand for eight years up to
the time he was drafted four years
ago. Since his recent discharge he
has been considering new employ
ment which will satisfy him more
and suit his abilities better than
farming. He reports his problem
to his local Red Cross chapter.
Louis needs job counseling by
trained person who can evaluate
employment opportunities in the
light of Louis aptitudes, interests,
and intelligence. The vocational
rehabilitation department of the
Veterans Administration helps the
veteran determine the type of job
for which he is best suited. Under
the Servicemen's Readjustment
Act (GI Bill of Rights) veterans
are entitled not only to counseling
service but also to apprentice
training and instruction to better
equip them.
Louis may file an application at
the Veterans Administration office.
When he receives his letter of elig-
ibility, he may apply for these SER
vices at the state regional office of
the Veterans Administration or at
any of their vocational guidance
centers.
His Red Cross chapter can help
him prepare the necessary forms.

An electric fence can be used to
an advantage at this time of year
on many Delaware farms says
Jack F. Bell, agricultural engineer
for the Delaware Agriculture Ex-
tension Service.
Such a fence can be set up and
removed from around temporary
pasture areas with a limited
amount of time. Not only is there
a saving in time and labor but also
savings in fencing material.
One wire is sufficient to hold
back COWS and horses. A second
wire close to the ground should be
used for hogs and young calves.

There is welcome news for home

reau of human nutrition and home

vised the time for processing veg
