It has always been the custom to Issue RADIO DOINGS on the fifteenth of each current month— -as for instance, the October issue went on sale October 15, the November issue November 15th, etc. However, due to a custom of magazine publishers of issuing their publications several weeks in advance of the date line carried, we are calling this issue going on the stands December 15, the January issue, heretofore it would have been called the issue. There is no change in the magazine other than the date of the month of issue. Subscribers will get the same number of copies.
