BOY COMMENTATOR While hidebound wiseacres wagged their heads, common-sensical Charis Corset Shop crowed over its brand new "ear-opener" news program. Determined to lift its program out of the ruck, sponsor signed as news commentator 16-yearold, tall, lean, quick-thinking radioracle Buddy Darezzo. With a thirst for fresh ideas, Darezzo presents a vibrant account of personalities in the news, human interest stories — "a stereoscope of news pictures of the day, giving a new dimension to events affecting our lives."
No oratorical ingenue, Darezzo first spoke on "Americanism" before a Los Angeles American Legion group at the age of three, has since addressed Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions Club, veteran organizations. At the ripe age of ten, he politicked throughout California delivering 30 campaign speeches for former Governor Frank F. Merriam.
