ERALD CHATFIELD, director of programs at WEAF and fa- miliarly called “the impresario of WEAF.” is one of those cx- | ecutives on the staff of a_ broad- | casting station whose name is never heard “over the air.” He is one of those actiyly engaged in bringing “super-programs” to the loud speaker of the vast army of listeners, yet al- ways remains “behind the scenes. Mr. Chatfield’s first training for his present responsiblity began in his child- hood days, when he studied voice and plano and warbled in a boy choir. This fundamental education in music later paved the way for a position as choir- | master, and several churches in Con- necticut had_their choirs trained by | the present WEAF program director. | The Aeolian Company of New York sought some one to direct their “pub- licity recitals” and “Chat” as he is known by his friends, stepped in. This also added to his fundamental training for program arranging and coupled with the wide knowledge and experi- | ence gained by the management of | concert artists he has every qualifica- tion necessary for the huge task which he_ handles. In addition to concert management, Mr. Chatfield at one time was tenor | solofst and_assistant organist in .| Mark's in New York City.

The following excerpts from the Manual of Instruc- tions given each employe strikingly demonstrates this con« stant desire to serve you better. “We have established a reputation for giving the best fuel oil service in Washington. To maintain this good record, we must have the co-operation of every driver and employee. “Be very careful in making oil deliveries to see that full measure is given. “Always measure customer's tank before making a deliv to make sure that his tank will hold the quantity of oil ordered. “Do not drive on lawns or over flower beds under any rcumstances. Be careful not to damage shrubbery. “Drivers are required to be courteous to customers and their servants at all times. “Orders are heaviest in bad weather. During such periods drivers are expected to put forth extra effort 50 that customers may be promptly served. “And remember that we want to give not as good but B TER SERVICE than any other fuel oil company in Washington. With the full co-operation of drivers and other employecs this can be done. Do your part to accomplish this.” ‘This high standard of service is not dependent on “good intentions” alone for the fuel oil personnel of Griffith-Con- sumers are trained under careful supervision of men who have a thorough knowledge of fuel oil, and how to properly handle it, This fall, start with Griffith- Consumers Fuel Oil and enjoy a fuel oil service as nearly perfect as it is possible to make it.
