These programs were commenced last year under the sponsorship • of the Keyes Fibre Company of Water- ville and New York. They were not intende'd to sell products, but to create good will. They were received so warmly "^ that the company requested the Alley stHrtfs and Richards advertising company of New York to continue the sponsor- ship of the program under their pub- lic relations work. As a result a contract for a second year 1949 and 1950 has just been signed. The program follows Drew Pears- on, and changes the atmosphere from that of world news and weighty problems to simple, down to earth talks on such common things as life, death, taxes, potato bugs, small guage railroads and the like.
