During that time:, listening for DX was almost an impossibility.
Dc:spitc these handicaps however. the season has been replete with fo;ts of c:x-cellent catches and as a result log-s ha\'C rncrtascd by leaps and hounds.

In that section of magnificent distan-ces kno11 n as the mountain tier of states. 5.000.000 peopk appreciate radio to the extent they operate their sets an average of ten hours daily. In much of this area, KSL. during the daytime, is the only "talion that can he heard.
l.ettas from 01·er this g reat domain ha 1·c prodainll'd a special appreciation of the Ill 11 time sii:pial service. In many section~ it is the on ly way in which the correct time ma1· he secured.

W e Think So, Gracie
Reporters can't baffle Gracie Allen. Following a recent program one ap-proadwcl her. "Miss Allen", quoth he, "] understand you started your career singing in movie houses after school ;then went into vaudeville as an Irish colcen and then did dancing acts and a series of dramatic sketches. Next you met George Burns and did a vaudeville act together. Then you went into movie shorts. then radio and afterwards made fcatnrc· pictures. :\ow you are broad-casting in front of an audience. vVell, what ha ,-e you got to say?" To which Gracie. with a nonchalant flick of her hand. gave answer: "Well, I can't under-stand vo11 eitht>r. I do the best I can and I ·don't know why l can't hold a job. Don't you thi11k so?"
Amos 'n' Andy never listen to ~erials, continuity programs or broadcasts. They are fearful they might unconscious-ly adopt another's ideas for the devel-opment of a scrip t. And to avoid any possible charge of plagari sm, they re-turn. unopened. all manuscripts submit-ted to them.
Arthur Tracy, WOR's Street Singer. invariably wears his hat whi le broad-casting. Another habit is dashing a short distance from the mike at the con-clusion of every number and softly coughin!!' into a handkerchief.

The deference and respect in which Gene Arnold, interlocutor of the Greater Minstrels (N BC- WJZ network, Mondays 9 P. 11., EST.) is held by head waiters wherever he dines has its roots, supris-ingly enough, not so mnch in his genial friendliness as in his reputation as a bon vivant and connoisseur of foods. Gene's ability lo order a dinner correctly lies in hi s childhood duties at home. He was the second of fi,·e chi ldren and it usually fell to him to prepare the meals for the family at X C'Wton, Tit., during his mother's illness. He took to hi s cul-inary assignments and believes that if he hadn't become an actor and singer, he would probably have become a chef. His impressive reputation as a diner-out filled Eleanor Howe. XBC cooking ex-pert. with considerable trepidation recent-ly when she called on him to name hi s favorite dish so she could prepare it dur-ing a radio broadcast at which Gene was to be the guest. To her surprise and deli!!ht. it was spaghetti.

Xathan H andler, 64.2 Avenue C. Bay-onne. N. J.: "The Dia list is getting bet-ter all the time."
Earl Godin:y, 356 Tligh St reet, Holy-oke. ~lass.: "I don't sec how you can publish such a great magazine for 10 cents. Xo DXer should he without it. T want my copy every month and am enclosing my subscription."
John J. Oskey. (\V2BJZ) Route I. Box 85-\'. ;-rew Brunswick, ~- J.: "I received my first copy of The Dialist and it certainly has opened my eyes; you put out a dandy magazine for 10 cents. It has many features that make me its con-tinued supporter and T am inclosing my subscription. You use the hcst paper for it is the only log book T have so far seen. that ink could he used to write in it. I think the small boxes to the left of the stations arc just dandy; a small X inser--ted in them means an accurate recor d of sta tion s heard and verified."
Mrs. Dora ~ewcomh, Box 20i, Ox-nard. Cal.: "The Dialist is a mighty fine radio n1agazine."
