During our conversation it became increasingly apparent that if this gentleman does not receive direct financial assistance from the German speaking community to offset his operating expences he incurs out of his own pocket to provide this service to the community, we shall very soon loose the Deutsches aus Ottawa radio program. We have printed his appeal in German for assistance on page 9. Please read it, and help Oswin “patch up the holes in his pockets”. He is a volunteer, and should not have to personally finance this radio program!
