From WHAS, Louisville, which was also very loud, we heard | closing number on the WJZ program of which we heard a part from KYW. The selection was by John Charles Thomas, baritone, and he |sang “Abide With Me,” with organ accompaniment. At the conclusion ‘o! the program WHAS signed off. WMBF, Miami Beach, was very loud and very muddy. In fact it | sounded terrible most of the time. | The Fleetwood orchestra played "I | Can’t Get Over a Girl Like You Lov- | ing a Boy Like Me,” and we must| | confess that we have heard it played | | much better.

Say, if you want to hear good mu- | sic for a change sometime, tune in on WEBH, Chicago, when the In- diana Male quartet is scheduled to make an appearance.
