With these selected groups he, together with the Lansing Dairy Company, the sponsor from the beginning, has produced a variety and quality of entertainment we believe unequalled in any juvenile group anywhere.
Each Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday special programs are presented by these various groups. Mondays the Dramatic Club presents an adventure serial, featuring members of this division, while on other days there is a succession of little folks making their radio debut.
