UBA has contributed a lot to the United States. Among the good things to come from our neighbors to the south is Alfred V. Bamford. He was born in Havana in 1909 and, as you may suspect, spoke fluent Spanish at an early age! But when "Bam" learned English, Cuba lost. Now after ten years in radio, only three of which have been spent on the West Coast, this up-andcoming man has become a leading figure in Pacific radio circles.
While we're talking about speaking English, we"d like to mention another aspect of spotbroadcasting which seems kind of apropos right here. "En<rlish"is almost too broad a
word to cover all the dozens of dialects that are spoken in various sections of the U. S. And among thousands of people in every section, the accents and inflections from any other section sound "affected", and as annoying as a buzz saw at the base of the cranium. . . . Roll your R"s, and you'll sell less goods in the South. Don't roll them and you'll sell less goods in the North. You see what we mean!
One more word. When it comes to spotbroadcasting, we believe there's no other outfit in America that speaks the Esperanto of results quite so well as this pioneer group of radio -station representatives.
