IT’S the mail which guides radio sponsors, producers and ex
L* ecutives in understanding the listening habits and preferences
l of their audiences, whether it’s a rave or a beef. Sponsors of
[the various network, shows are as keen about the mail reaction
as they are about a Hooper-rating. After all, radio’s chief func
tion is to entertain and inform millions of people. Further, the
Federal Communication Commission says that radio must be
conducted in the interest of the public. Your letters—to the
(station, to the sponsors, to radio writers—reflect the nature of
that “public interest.’’

Platinum Foxes Possible
By depriving ordinary silver
foxes of one of the “B” group of
vitamins, it is possible to obtain a
platinum fox. This discovery was
made at University of California.
However, the platinized foxes do
not produce furs so durable as the
Norwegian variety. The only fox
that is being raised commercially
to any great extent in the United
States is the silver fox. Perhaps
they lend themselves to confine
ment better than most wild ani
mals. The grey fox is much slower
than the red fox. The red fox has
been known to cover a given dis
tance at the rate of 30 miles per
hour.

With Grain of Salt
Not so many years ago salt wm
used in payment of a fine in central
Africa. When a murder was com
mitted, according to custom, the
community in which the murderer
lived was responsible for paying tha
blood-money. The chief of the vil
lage went around on an appointed
day and collected from each of his
subjects two cupped handfuls of
salt. This was pooled to form pay
ment for the life taken.

Nature of Wool

the sheep, an animal fiber, a pro.
tein substance. It ranks topmost ia
its field and its varied utilization in
the wearing apparel industry is ae
great as to assure its pre-eminence
In the manufacture of both smart

Italy in 1936. Another, produced in
the United States in 1940, is called
Aralac. Both substitutes are made
from casein, a product of skimmed
