Radio Station WINK will go on
the air in Rockville on December
/, according to an announcement
made this week by Richard Eaton,
president of the United Broadcast
ing Company.
Mr.. Eaton said delay in opening
the Rockville station has been due
to technical difficulties. He said
the tower and transmitter will be
located on Route 240, close to the
Rockville City line.
WINK was purchased by United
Broadcasting from William and
Dolly Banks, who originally pur-
chased the station from the Wash
ington Post in 1949. 1t was the
Washington areas first independ-
ent station and went on the air
IN 1910.

we replied.
We talked of toll roads, too,
which he does not believe in, and
how the people of Upper Mont
gomery felt about opening the well
fare lists.
He said, Gust wait awhile" He
listened carefully as we spoke of
discomfort with the new markings
on Route 240 from Rockville to
Bethesda, He spoke of the five
minute radio talks he used to do
early mornings - how the people
like human interest stories rather
than erudite talks or information,
and how to feed them a mixture of
all. We told him about our COL
umn, which is now in its 18th year.
Between his answering phone
calls and working on the lamb
chop, which he pronounced excel
lent" we got acquainted with Mr..
Mccain, who lives in Frederick.
We have many mutual friends and
acquaintance. He too was eager
to learn Just how much the bypass
had helped the traffic situation in
Rockville-he also has many COM
plants about the marking of Route
24O. 1t is in accordance with the
manual on uniform traffic devices
which the State adopted last year.
He said the only thing that will
help conditions on 240 is another
traffic lane, which they are not yet
prepared to add.
Bill Gold in his District Line on
Monday said: "Charlie Clark and

We just want to add a word of
praise for the boys and girls who
deliver the morning papers and for
their mothers who get them out
of bed in time. Some parents
drive their small sons along their
routes on rainy days.
