We spent $250,352,000 for food last year! When "soup's on" in Arkansas, it's a real feast. A feast for you, too, if your food products are advertised on KVLC. Arkansas women listen to KVLC. They buy products they hear advertised there. So tel! 'em and sell 'em over KVLC. Get your bite of the $250,352,000 Arkansas food bill. Ask our nat'l rep or write for availabilities. Could you supply me with six or seven copies of your television dictionary for sponsors. Since we are preparing to inaugurate television in Canada, your booklet would be useful to us. I would be interested to get also all other information that you are publishing about television. Miss Florence Forget Director of Television Programs Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Montreal MR.

New York WHOD'S NEGRO D.j. I read your article on Negro disk jockeys and I regret that your magazine didn't even mention Mary Dee. She has a two-hour show daily on WHOD in Homestead, Pa. Mary Dee started with a 15-minute show and convinced her sponsors she coidd do a selling job. Mary Dee Movin Around from two to four p.m. daily are the passwords of every Pittsburgher. Here are a few facts about her: 1. First Negro woman disk jockey in the East. 2. Writes her own script and sells her own time. 3. Has received five awards from community groups, churches, schools, newspapers and clubs. 4. She was honored with a testimonial dinner on 31 August with 5.000 Pittsburgh notables present. Pittsburgh's Mayor said: "Mary Dee is a young woman who while pioneering has not forgotten to smile and continues to work for her race." 5. She gives young people an opportunity on her talent shows.
