What the preacher said in the meet- ing, with Bradley sitting in the front row, is forgotten. What Bradley remem- bers is that he went forward with the "converts" at the end of the meeting, and while the minister prayed over him, in his mind and heart was born a great craving for education. Still kneeling at the altar, he determined that he would graduate from college no matter how much hardship that might mean for him. That September found Bradley Kin- caid starting out to walk to Berea College, twenty miles from his home where he could go to school and work at the same time. He entered the sixth grade in the grammar school. At night he "hopped bells" in the local hotel to pay his ex- penses, for he had no money of his own, ncr any from home. One can imagine the struggle it must have been for him to complete the eighth grade of school. He was of course much older than the children in the grades with him. He was, in fact, a grown man.

Radio Digest 85 On thousands of cellar shelves you can find the results of BALL BROS.* CANNING TIME on iAf l EZ The Prairie Farmer Station * V i+0**>40* CHICAGOmirAr,n For the information Martha Crane has been giving twice every week at 1 o'clock standard time, is practical and her talks smell of the preserving kettle and the savory chili sauce. Starting with strawberries, Ball Brothers' Can- ning Time has followed the garden and orchard season straight through, with an occasional glimpse away from fruit and vegetables to the fascinating subject of meat canning. The reason Martha Crane has such a large audience for this program is simple enough. She is talking facts and experience, telling things that the women of the WLS audience want to hear. Martha Crane Here at WLS we like to build programs like that—programs that serve—and we find that our vast audience on farms, in small towns, and in the city of Chicago, like them too. In building a program we study to make it truly serve its purpose. Probably you have been listening to Ball Brothers' Canning Time, on WLS, and you understand why it makes the housewife want to reach for the stew-kettle and the paring knife and start rilling up the cellar shelves with good things for winter.

THE AIRLINE TO THE NEW YORK MARKET Twelve million people live within the trading area of New York. Nowhere else in the world is there a greater concentration of buying power. The yearly consumption of luxuries and necessities of these New Yorkers reaches a staggering total. New York is the world's richest, most compact market for every kind of product and service that human ingenuity can devise. The New York market alone has made millionaires of men. Because of its size-—the many-sided angles of its life—the cosmopolitan character of its popu- lation—some advertisers believe that the New York market is difficult to sell successfully. But radio broadcasting through WMCA has shattered this prejudice; has proven through actual results for a varied clientele of advertisers, that New York is now one of the easiest markets in the world in which to gain a firm foothold.

( Continued 94) — Radio Digest 93 ANOTHER PIONEERING STEP BY WESTINGHOUSE RADIO STATIONS From stations KDKA and WBZ comes another announcement the kind you expect from stations identified with the company that established the first regularly scheduled broadcasting, put the first church service on the air, first put presidential election returns on the air. KDKA and WBZ are the first radio stations on the air to offer their listeners Consolidated Press Association service. Background of daily news events, style and shopping news, financial bulletins, a daily book review, sports features, and dramatic criticism are all included in this new service offered through KDKA and WBZ. This innovation is one more evidence of the progressive pro- gram policy which makes listeners say, "You can always count on the Westinghouse Radio Stations for a good program."
