Calls for Concerted Effort
To Improve Quality Of Radio Programs

To Improve Quality Of Radio Programs
To the Editor Of The Star:
I wish to express my thanks and appre-
citation to those who have written to The
Star in support Of my effort to improve
the quality Of music heard on most radio
stations during the day. I am most thank
full for the information regarding the good
music on Station WQQW, and have invested
in an FM radio so that may hear the fine
programs at their best.
I agree with one writer who said that we
should join in a protest against the con-
tinuous, monotonous round of cheap mod
ern ditties, and would suggest that every
one who is interested in better radio pro-
grams write in to the different stations and
express their views. I believe that by q
concerted effort we may meet with success.

WATERS ARE PEOPLE
by John J. cavanagh

DEAR MR. CAVANACH: In your many years of
experience a restaurateur you have play yed host
thousands of diners. Can you offer any suggestions
about proper dining-out manners?
ANSWER: Dining out is actually different from dining
at the home of friend In the long operation of my res
tauran We found that pleasant smile the part of the
headwater, coupled with hearty appetite on the part
of the diner, is usually enough to establish good re-
lationship
Walters lodge most of their pet complaints against those
occasional guests whose strange antics interfere with the
efficiency of the restaurant and the comfort of fellow diners
Some of them are:
The guest who snaps his fingers to attract the walters
attention This very annoying to everyone including the
waiter and certainly doesn't help the service discreet
signal will accomplish just much.
The people who insist upon conversing so loudly that
you can hardly hear dish rattle. They usually have
little of Importance to say but say loud enough that
they disturb everybody in the place.
HE patron who insists drinking heavily before his
meal BY the time he ORDERS his tongue twisted and
his palate desensitized that he can't tell the difference
between ilet mignon and poached egg.
The sedeluded sophsticate who tells his friends that
ne IS known everywhere and then protests vigorously to
the headwater when his party arrives and is told that they
will have to wait few moments for table
The patron who isn't merely order the food
but tells the waiter just how it should be prepared and
sends plate back three times before he is satisfied
The guest who comes in alone but insists that he be
seated at table which set for six He succeeds in keep
ing others waiting and the waiter unhappy
The customer who can't make up his mind what to
ORDER but wants the waiter stand by until the nspra
ton strikes the waiter should himself and move
to another table, this fellow loudly calls him back and
demands that he remain at attention.
The chronic complaner who dislikes everything about
the restaurant including personnel food and service
Yet he keeps coming back.

The department pointed out

"It must be perfectly clear to

The department argued strongly
for a broad, flexible grant Of
authority to the President by
Congress for administration Of
the proposed aid program.
Broad administrative authority
and a single appropriation would
provide the fiexibility necessary
to deal quickly with changing
situations, 1t said. and assure
that this country's limited mill
tary resources be made available
where they are most needed and
where they can be used most ef-
fectively."
Under the administration plan
the President would delegate to
Secretary of State Acheson the
broad responsibility to administer

said large share Of the respon-
sibility for the actual operation"
