Mrs. Lundstedt Was
Members Participation.

To hear ones self as others
hear you was the experience Of
several members of the Milford
New Century Club on Monday dur
ing a program cleverly arranged
by Mrs. Charles Lundstedt, wife
of one of the owners of Station
WKSB of Milford. Well versed in
radio program arranging, Mrs.
Lpndstedt had several members
take part in a fiVe-minute broad
cast, just as If it were really hap
pening, carrying it out to the re-
quired length of time Taking part
were Mrs. Jack Burris, Miss Edna
Barker, Mrs. Joseph J. Pearce,
Mrs. Edward DurOcher, Mrs. Cal
vim White, Mrs. Laurence Fitchett
and Mrs. LynWOOd Taylor. All
were surprised when Mr.. Lundstedt
brought in the recorder and had
them hear what they had said. It
was all very creditably done and
made good fun for those who
looked and listened, as well as
learned a part of how the radio
station may operate. Mrs. Lund-
stedt then presented Herbert NJ.
Griffith, the other part-OWneT of
the station, who spoke on the pur-
pose and aim of the radio to fit into
the affairs and service of this COM
munity. Primarily, the service is
rendered for entertainment, infOr-
nation, and inspiration, which is
given minus that which would have
no appeal to those who listen. The
programs are varied to please all
tastes, not forgetting the COM
munity needs and the commercial
phase that are presented with the
local color. Mr.. Griffith assured
the members of his help in what
ever was Of benefit to the COM
munity, giving the Sunday program

endar, Girl Scout Week, and the
current Red Cross campaign CO.

Mrs. Calvin White, third vice
president, presided at the business
meeting that preceded the radio
program. Mrs. Edward Durocher,
club legislative chairman, gave a
report of the last Joint Legislative
meeting in Dover. Speakers were
DR.. George r. Miller, DR.. John
Perkins and John Snowden, all in
the interest of education. Flowers
for the meeting, in keeping with
st. PatTick's Day, were arranged
by Mrs. John LOngbOtham, Mrs. NJ
HasWell Pierce and Mrs. Norman
Prettyman. AT the Board of Direc-
tors meeting last week, Mrs. Leon
ard Elfreth was elected to fill the
unexpired term of Mrs. Wilson S.
VinyaTd as director. Mrs. Greedy
Pierce was appointed auditor for
the club. The members voted, upon
recommendation by the Board of
Directors, to raise some money for
club repair during the summer.
This effort will be a personal en-
terprise. A pleasant social hour
followed.
Next week, DR.. Hal Geyer will
be the speaker. His subject will be
