HE'S LIVING DREAMS T the very minute you are reading this, Phillips Lord, the Seth Parker of radio, is somewhere on the great ocean in his four masted, New England schooner "Seth Parker." Right now he's digging out his special deep-sea fishing tackle to go after the big ones. "Old Salts used to tell me when I was a boy that there are no fish in the very middle of the ocean and now I'm going to find out if it's true," Phil said as he sailed. When that's been proven the schooner will head for Siam where Phil has a special invitation to hunt big game with the King. In the meantime he'll continue fishing, looking for hidden treasures of which history hints, resting— realizing dreams that radio made possible. Phil is one man who dreams dreams and lives them. Too, this is his way of showing those loyal friends who've stuck through thick and thin in his early struggle for radio fame a measure of his appreciation. You see he has about fifteen of those best friends as passengers on the boat as his guests. High adventure is his goal. He wants to see cannibal tribes in their native haunts, the Rennel Island which is ruled by women, to bask in the tropical sun of the South Sea islands, to live history all over again. Not once will the party be out of contact with land. They have a fine radio set on board, fixed up for both sending and receiving. And you may be sure he, like yourself, is tuning in regularly to each one of those "Sunday at Seth Parker's" broadcasts each Sunday evening. 22
