Len- hart, ‘mayor. “Any benefits ; accruing to KFYR must accrue to Bismarck as well.

We Commend Their Achievement When radio folk talk of riding the waves they rarely are ref to acquatic sports at winter resorts which give the tourist pe @ thrill. Most likely they are talking about a job, for one of the most important men in operating a radio station is he who “rides herd” on the radio waves which the station broadcasts. Equipped with headphones, he sits in # room by himself and listens to the program. Buttons, switches and gadgets on a panel before him enable him to increase or decrease the volume and perform a lot of duties which are necessary if the listener, perhaps thousands of miles away, is to be pleased with the program.
