cock and the Magpie (Aesop updated) In days of old the birds decided to set up a king. The Peacock valued himself for his gay feathers and put in for office. The eyes of the silly multitude were caught by his rich feathers and the majority declared for him. Just as they were going to proclaim him, the Magpie stepped forth and asked: "Your majesty, we have chosen you king and have put our lives and fortunes in your hands. Therefore, if the Eagle or the Vulture should make a descent upon us, how do you intend to defend us against them?" This brief question drew the audience into just reflection, and they resolved to make a new choice. So it goes with many radio stations. They preen their feathers in the hope of catching the eyes of advertisers and agencies. But that's just feathers, friends, just feathers — ?^ Moral: pick a Station Radio Baltimore Radio Boston o Radio Mempl^is REPRESENTED NATIONALLY BY RADIO-TV REPRESENTATIVES, INC. U. S.
