Well, suppose you listen right now. We've got the thing going full blast in the study hall. and so, my friends, little red riding hood ate the wolf for breakfast next morning on top of her bowl of finger-waved fodder.- This is station S. H. S. The time is exactly fifteen years, 45 days, past 1940. The program that you just heard came to you through the courtesy of Boney's Beargrease. Remember only one smear of Beargrease is positively guaranteed to make your head bare or greasy instantly. See your yokel dealer about our new Indian Scalp Treatment. You're sure to find a hair raising experience. And now we present Miss Mary Woodford Kidwell of Newsy Viewsys of the day.

He says nothing much is happening over there, Hitler won the checker-poker game last night but Chamberlain says that it -can't happen again. Mr. Owen Hudson of Pumpkin Center, Arkansas, has just invented a new type of notebook backs. He has been working on this idea since 1940 and firmly declares that the new product can be sold to school children for only 3V2 cents. The championship fight between Ferocious Foreman and Lasley the Lug will take place in New York next Thursd-ay night. It is expected to be a great battle, as the two men are mortal enemies. The cream of society was entertained last night at a very new and swanky party given by the millionwaire Sam Lasley and his wife, in honor of Miss Betty Rlhea Lee. Miss Lee has just recently returned from France. The famous clothing designer Q. M. Ritchie has just resigned her job in New York to help Delmer Schafer of Hollywood film a new picture starring the Spanish comedian, El Corky del Kirkwood. Detective Lewis Higginbottom of Cincinnatti has just captured the gang that held up the Cleavingers' Bank. He received the reward offered for Percy the Punk. The only change in the weather is that the sun will rise a bit later tomorrow. tIt's Sunday, you know.l Meanwhile stop in at your druggists for a bottle of Boney's Beargrease.
