RICHMOND, Tex. (#).—Fort Bend County schools have pioneered in the radio field by placing in operation & broadcasting plant owned and operated exclusively by themselves to further education. The station recently went on the air with a dedicatory address by State Supt. of Public Instruction S. M. N. Marrs. ‘The plant serves 36 rural schools with about 2,500 pupils and four institutions in Richmond and Rosenberg, which have an enrollment of more than 800. At 9 o'clock each morning 36 schools tune in their receivers for any instruc- tions which Jess F. Ward, county super= Intendent, desires to give. Several en- tertainments also have been presented to further the appreciation of music. Lectures of educational value released from time to time by broadcastln} com- panies have been planned, and faculty members from Rice Institute of Hous- ton and nearby cities will be extended invitations to address Fort Bend County students. $ Although little trouble was experi- enced in obtaining permission to erect the station from the county school board, it required almost a year before the Radio Commission sanctioned the D. C. DECEMBER 16, RADIO APPEAL MADE FOR DISCARDED TOYS @ifts Wanted for Christmas Dis-| tribution to Children in Hospitals Here. An appeal for unbroken but discarded toys for distribution to children in ‘Washington’s hospitals and orphanages on Christmas day was broadcast .last night by station WOL. LeRoy Mark, who made the appeal, suggested that the old toys be bundled up and delivered to the following in- stitutions: Washinglon Home for Found- lings, 1715 Fifteenth strect; German Orphan Asylum, Anacostia; Episcopal Home, Anacostia; Children’s Hospital, ‘Thirteenth and W streets; St. John's Church Orphanage, Twentieth and F streets; St. Vincent de Paul Society, 635 F street; Swartzell Home, 201 Ritten- house street; Jewish Foster Home, 3213 Q street; St. Ann’s Infant Asylum, 2300 K street; Washington City Orphan Asylum, Nebraska avenue and Lough- borough road, and St. Joseph's Home. “This effort on the part of WOL is to assist Santa Claus in bringing cheer to the hearts of those unfortunate| children, who see and know nothing of the outside world,” sald Mr. Mark. “As- suming that there are hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of picture books, dolls, go-carts, trains, kiddie cars and the like, if not discarded now will be on Christmas day, if a small portion of these were given to the orphans and sick children, th2 donor would be well repaid by the appreciation of the little children. “No line has been drawn as to creed or nationality. The spirit is to help {hem all.” Improvements Installed. Latest impovements in broadcasting aquipment have been embodied in the new station of WAPI, Birmingham. These include a crystal control and a double modulation panel, bringing im- froved reception, doubling the listen- ng area and eliminating distortion in transmission. School Program Scheduled.
