By NEA Service K City, Mo., to p for their ra-} ntertainment doesn't pay. | J. Sweeney, owner of the Swee- | F chool here and of bri casting station WHB, tried by three | different means to collect enough! money from his listeners to, pa as | entertainers—and failed. Worse, he incurred quite an expense from his own pocket. It was in an effort to find the an swer to the question, “Who shail pay for broadcasting?” that Sweeney nducted these experiments w his listeners. After the third un- essful attempt he decided ubandon ‘his quest. The question, so far as he is con- cerned, remains unanswered. Paper First i First. Sweeney tried to gain con- ; tributions from radio fans by pub- lishing a weekly radio paper. He} believed he would give his subserib~ ers their money’s worth in the paper alone, He would use the proceeds | ior publication of the paper and pay the entertainers out of the profits. | The subseription was to be $2 a year, Sweeney sent out 40,000 cir- culars. He received offers amount- | ing to $1026, not enough to pay for the circulars alone. He returned the money. Sweeney's second idea was a Christmas fund for shut-ins and or- | phans. This was not to pay for} entertainers, but its results show | how difficult it is to get financial support for even such a beneficial enterprise. Another Loss His printing and other circulariz- | ing work cost him $2640. He re- ceived $161. Undaunted these _ failures, Sweeney tried what he thought, cought to be a “knockout” It was aj plan for an “invisible theater,” with | the radio broadeasting studio as the stage and thousands of fans as the | audience, Sweeney sent out 186,000 pieces of | mail and spent $4620 in printing and stamps alone, to gain support for this idea, He got back $4168! Believes In Fan Yet Sweeney has faith in fans, in the public in general. “No conclusions unfair to the fan should be drawn from these results,” he says. “I believe thousands of | fans who failed to contribute intend- ed to help pay for these enterprises or for the entertainers. But they just put it off until they forgot. “Jf they had the money ready, if they had a money order blank, or .the stamps or a check and stamped “envelope right at hand, at the time they received’ the ‘circulars, they would have cooperated.
