KameCity — 98 .Age RADIO M IRROR What Do You Want to Say? (Continued from page 7) $1.00 PRIZE TOO MUCH EXPLANATION I realize that the people of the broadcasting end of radio have very little confidence in the mental powers of those at the listening end. But even the dimmest of wits understand and enjoy flattery. Take my case, for example. It would greatly enhance my enjoyment of radio if the announcer of my favorite skit would refrain from explaining what happened in the episode to which I have just listened. Mind you, I am not claiming that I don't need the explanation; but there is a subtle flattery in being thought capable of understanding which is sweeter to the dim-wit than understanding. itself. When I hear a father reprimand his son in no uncertain terms, 1 like to think that I know the son was reprimanded. With the ingratitude characteristic of those needing help, I resent my announcer's telling me that that is what I heard. However, if humanity forbids his leaving me at the mercy of the profundities which issue from my loud speaker, I shall try to learn humility. But I beg that I be allowed that last thred of intellectual vanity, the privilege of wondering for myself, "what will happen next!" Mabel Driscoll, Sycamore, III. $1.00 PRIZE LET'S ALL SING To me, the finest feature that's come along in many a radio moon is the CBS Community Singing. Here's a program that anyone with an iota of music in his make-up can take a whole-hearted part in, without embarrassment or fear of criticism. It's developed into a regular Sundaynight musicale in my family. Of course there's plenty of sour notes, but we love 'em so long as they're our own! Mrs. R. W. Ervin, Tallahassee, Florida. HONORABLE MENTION "Thanks, Radio Mirror, for rescuing radio's most beloved characters, Amos 'n' Andy from the clutches of dat ole debbil gossip. Your timely and interesting story will do much to mold public opinion and help us to spike those unkind rumors"— Wiley P. Ballard Jr., Charlotte, N. C. "Now, after several months' steady listening to Mr. Crosby's efforts (if they may be called 'efforts') the reason for this show's unlimited success has just dawned upon me— its lack of a studio audience."—Elizabeth M. Schnair, Maynard, Mass. "I get so sick .and tired of people slamming the local talent and amateurs. After all, their effort is just as sincere as those stars on the network stations. Didn't they all have to start at the bottom of the ladder?"— Carolynn Te Selle, Lincoln, Nebraska. "Why do so many radio announcers build us up to an awful let-down by introducing a musical selection in flowery, perlectly articulated English only to mumble the title at the end so no one can recognize it?"— Maude Smeike, Lambertville, N.
