Singing has been given credit
for aiding In the winning of the
World War, and nothing has
done as much to banish the na
tion’s cares and bring happiness
to countless thousands as the re
vived popular pastime introduced
by radio, known to the listener as
“Community Sings,*’ or “Come
on, let’s sing.’’
The family of two or the family
of twelve enjoy these community
sings because they have a part
in them. The lighthouse keeper
on a lonely island or the light
housekeeper in her apartment
drops everything to join in the
community sing.
Everyone likes to sing and old
songs that bring back memories
of happy days. Station W®IO, in
Greensboro, has acquired the
necessary equipment and is lay
ing extensive plans to bring a
community sing right into North
Wilkesboro. Through cooperation
with The Journal-Patriot, WBIG
will endeavor to ascertain just
how much talent is available for
these broadcast programs. These
programs are not for advertising
or commercial use but will bo
broadcast for the public lir
ter acquainted with their neigh
bors and help to create goodwill
between them; and, of course,
WBIG Is looking for radio talent
for this station and the network.
All the affiliated stations are con
stantly endeavoring to secure
new talent. Opportunities were
never greater for those who have
the proper musical talent to en
ter the field of radio than at this
time.
With the event of fall and the
school season, WBIG plans to
bring to every progressive com
munity in its area, units of high
class entertainment, featuring
some of the best radio talent In
North Carolina. This entertain
ment will be available to schools.
Colleges, clubs, societies, and civ
ic organizations wishing to raise
funds for specific charitable pur
poses. t-
Through these WBIG radio re
views or community sings, the
city or community in which they
are staged will receive valuable
radio publicity and a splendid op
portunity to get together with the
rest of North Carolina via radio.
WBIG is cooperating with The
Journal-Paitriot and every Tues
day and Saturday morning at
7:15, during the summer months,
broadcasts “Our Neighbors,” In
which items about North Wilkes
boro and Wilkes county are In
cluded. This program has receiv
ed national publicity and is be
ing copied in many sections of
the country.
These new community singe
will be broadcast weekly by a
direct line from the various towns
direct to WBIG’s transmitter. A
cordial invitation is extended to
all friends of The Journal-Patriot
In Wilkes county to visit 'WiBIG’s
studios in Greensboro at any
time. If you have radio talent, or
if you have friends whom you
think would make good on the
