RADIO COMMENT.
From r. c., Washington.)
The request, Write to the station
to which you are listening" is made
on network programs originating in
New York, Chicago or Los Angeles,
that are carried over many separate |
radio stations in many United States
cities. Thus the station Identification
in each case must be made locally at |
the 15-minute or half-hour break. |
It could not easily be interjected in |
the program at the point where the
offer is made. Most frequently, how
ever, offers requiring written re-
Spouse are placed at the end of the
program near where the local call
letters will be given. Also, transcribed
programs are made up with many
DRESSINGS or copies and shipped out
to the stations that wish to use them.
These. Of course, cannot include the
call letters Of the different stations,
and so again the Identification can
be given only at the conclusion or
VIC oPCIlo4 DlCdh PAOFi0Co. 4AS
announcer on the network or tram
Scription can only say Write to the
station to which you are listening"
and the station is identified accord
ing to FEC rule at the end of the
program. Local programs carrying
offers always give the station call
letters In the body Of the program
along with the offer, as the program
is being broadcast over only one
station. believe the solution to Mr..
F.. c. C.'s problem would be a re-
ceiving set with separate push but
tons for each station, many are made
that way these days.

RED ANTS.
From Mrs. H. E. S., Washington.
A little belated but I wish to
thank NJ w. H.. Arlington, and Mrs.
L. K, Washington, for the very ex-
plicit information concerning Harry
LADDERS song, "A Wee Doech and
Doris"
For Mrs. E. NJ p, Washington: I
think If you spray on the floor and
in back of cabinets (not inside) with
5 per cent DOT you will not have
any more trouble with red ants. I,
too, had the same experience but
now after two years have not been
bothered.

Department leaf1et No. lat called

ton. The department also rec
commended to me new insecti-
eide containing chlordane (not q
trade nance. This may be sprayed
or painted on with brush. Can be

CHARLESTON.
(Fron, Mrs. M. G. w., Jr., Arlington.) /
Some time ago one Of your readers
said she and her husband were to
be transferred to the Navy Yard at
Charleston, S. c., and asked for in
formation. AS Charleston Is my
home town, maybe can be Of some
help to her, although I have not
been back home for a few years as
I am an Army wife and constantly
being transferred.
First, the city is very old and
very historic one and I think should
prove very interesting to a new
conner. 1t has easy access to many
fine beaches, too, of which Folly
Beach and the Isle of Palms can be
reached by car in 80 minutes. The
climate is fine, winter temperatures
rarely go below so Owe been SWIM
ming in the ocean on Christmas
Day, summers go high, but the eve
nings are always cool. I cannot I
help her as to housing, but during s
the war and right after it was i'm ,
possible to find accommodate lions.
There are no modern apartment
buildings in the city, although the
first apartment-type building in =,
the United States was built and
is still standing In the city. There
are plenty of shops and good res
taurants, clothing prices are high,
due to excessive rail rates. I'm sorry
I can't help her out as to what &C
commodations the Navy has out at
the base since I don't know how
large a force is there now. All of
the permanent CD staff have lovely
homes, but as on all military posts
you move in according to seniority.
My suggestion to her is to contact
the Chamber of Commerce and tell
them exactly her needs and what
she can afford and th0 will be more
than glad to help her.

cent questions and answers regard
ing life on OkinaWa. My problem is

to help me. NV husband is q lieu
