We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Radio Stations Ideas at work: • WLEE, Richmond, Va., with the Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Tennessee, have been trying to locate policy holders to the tune of $1 million. They have been missing for as long as 20 years. After three weeks, eight missing people had been found, after all other means had failed. • WCAU, Philadelphia, with the city's cooperation, drew 25,000 entrants in a Gateway To Europe contest. The contest gave away a free trip to Europe for two and 13 transistor radios. The purpose: to help attract people to Philadelphia's Aviation Day. • WINS, New York, is supplying reels of music tape for the sound systems of nuclear polaris submarines George Washington and U.S.S. Patrick Henry. The station has offered this to the U. S. Navy, for all nuclear submarines. PEOPLE ON THE MOVE: Dale R. Woods to manager, KGVO, Missoula, Mont., from division manager, RAB . . .
