What Do You Want to Say? (Continued from page 3) out her continuous crying. At six months I turned it on to lull her to sleep. At one year, I turned it on to attract her attention. At eighteen months, I turned it off to please her. Now, at the age of two, she turns it on to listen to music so that she can do the swing dance. Think of it — at two years of age. What will she do at twenty? — Miss Rose Debs, Poughkeepsie. FOURTH PRIZE AS LONG AS IT'S MUSIC "Oh how I hate to get up in the morning!" Ever since I was mustered out of the army twenty years ago the refrain of that old song has stuck in my mind. When 7:00 A.M. rolls around, I hate to get up. Recently, however, I have discovered a pleasant way to be yanked from the arms of Morpheus. Some new neighbors have moved into the house next door and every morning a radio lifts me from my dreams to the strains of sweet music. What an ideal way to be awakened! — Ralph Pyne, Oakland, Calif. FIFTH PRIZE rOU'RE WELCOME The very beautiful radio which you presented to me in the Radio Mirror contest arrived yesterday and it exceeds my most enthusiastic hopes. Already I have had London, South America and Japan. May I thank you again for selecting my letter? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could see Shirley Temple in a television broadcast? — Marian W. Lamb, Portland, Oregon. SIXTH PRIZE TAKE A BOW, HAN LEY It's high time some attention was given to Hanley Stafford. He is the hardest working man in radio today. He runs up high blood pressure once a week acting as Snooks' daddy, and in between time he plays heavies, irate fathers, and every imaginable role on several radio programs. He manages to turn in a fine performance on every show, and I, for one, marvel at his endurance and versatility. — Maxine Baxter, Norwood, Ohio. SEVENTH PRIZE DISTANCE MEANS NOTHING NOW Picture for yourself a farmhouse, ten miles from the nearest neighbor!! A bride of twenty-five years living in this farmhouse, after having lived all her life in the city. Miles from the nearest neighbor, miles from a movie — cut off from the world! What would this girl have done had it not been for the radio bringing her the latest news events, as told by Kaltenborn, Edwin C. Hill, Lowell Thomas, music by Horace Heidt, Wayne King, Guy Lombardo, songs by Bing Crosby, Barry Wood, Kate Smith, kitchen help by such skilled cooks as Betty Crocker and others. These and many more are all my friends, coming into my lonely home to cheer me when I feel blue, to make my life a great deal brighter, better and much more beautiful. — Mrs. Charles Dugan, Hudson, Ohio.
