"Radio Hall" Is given a rousing send off with this exclusive dramatization. WTAW Bait Chat On or about December 15 there’ll be two “Mirandys”—so don’t con fuse them. One, of course, is Mi- randy, the Ozark philosopher, whose homey chatter is heard on WTAW Farm and Home Makers program, Mondays through Fri days at 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, CWT. The second will be the All- America, first-prize rose for 1944- STUDENT CO-OP Bicycle and Radio Repair PHONE 4-4114 45, which has been named for none other than this same Mirandy of Persimmon Holler. Voted the most perfect rose pro duced in the All-American rose competition for 1945 by the 20 test gardens in the United States, the “Mirandy” is a dark red bloom developed by the Armstrong Nur series of Ontario, Cal. It is a cross between the “Charlotte Arm strong”, a gorgeous cerise rose, and “Night”, a very dark red rose. It has a penetrating, full-bodied frag rance matching the richness of its color and form. A rose grower herself, the Blue’s Mirandy considers the nam ing of the prize-winner the great est honor she has ever received. Donna Dae, featured singer with Fred Waring and his Pennsylvan ians, heard Thursdays over WTAW at 6:00 p.m., CWT has obtained a leave of absence to entertain serv icemen overseas. Donna leaves dur ing the middle or latter part of November for the European Thea tre of war.

Such is the situation that confronts the Green Hornet in the WTAW program of that name, Tuesday, October 24, at 6:30 p.m., CWT. Britt Reid, who is really the Green Hornet, is a guest at the party. With customary courage and precision, he renders the crooks harmless and rescues the financier and his son. Herbert landed squarely on a big bounding Nazi and what does the blighter do but run into the woods like a bloomin’ rabbit. This unusually humorous situa tion is portrayed on WTAW Blue Network’s Listening Post, Tues day, October 24, at 9:45 a.m., CWT. The story is a dramtization of the Saturday Evening Post yarn, ’’Wil lie and the Commandos,” by Rich ard Stern.

It’s not a case of brother against brother when Quiz Kids Harve Fischman, 14, and Sparky Fisch- man, 5, anwser r’oll call in WTAW’s celebrated schoolhouse of the air. Instead, it’s a radio manifestation of what Philadelphia is supposed to be the city of. When Sparky makes a brilliant reply to one of Quizmaster Joe Kelly’s brain-busters, Harve’s face lights up with an expansive that’s my-boy-smile. And when big broth er Harve gives correct answers, Sparky chortles in high glee and claps away wildly. Sparky is Harve’s pi’otege. He began grooming his younger broth er for Quiz Kid status when Sparky was a tiny two, scarcely able to lisp “ptarmigan.” When Sparky was midway in his third year, Harve, whose specialty is American history, began teaching him the names of U. S. presidents. After a month of coaching, Harve felt confident that Sparky bad memorized the presidents to perfection. So one evening before xmmmvxxKms 214 SOUTH MAIN BRYAN, TEXAS If it’s a good cup of coffee or an after mess coke you are looking for GEORGE’S is the place to get it.

Sparky hestitated a moment, gulped, and said:: “Hit ler.” But seldom does Sparky fail so abysmally. Generally, his reten tive little brain cells fasten onto all the facts his talented brother thrusts at him. He’s now in kinder garten, but the bulk of his know ledge is supplied by impromptu seminars with Tutor Harve. Three R’s are enough for the lads and there’s little chance that a fourth R-Rivalry—will ever come between them. BEAT N. T. A. C. —EXECUTIVES— (Continued From Page 1) Cobb, Wayland Colege; H. W.
