No doubt before this world is at peace again we should have gold stars in our banner of respect. The University of Kentucky has their service flag from the first World War floating in a wave of respect for every veteran who once called the University his Alma Mater. But how get the flag? Is not every student willing to donate to such a worthy cause and could not the Home Economics classes make the flag? Better still the American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars would probably be more than glad to help us obtain the coveted emblem. If you favor such a move push it. and rest assured that everyone for whom it is to represent will thrill with pride at such a remembrance from his Alma Mater.

To these millions, the relief obtained by the use of Alka-Seltzer is worth far more than the genuine enjoyment they get from the broadcasts. The most important parts of our radio program, both to you and to us, are the commercial announcements. Once you have tried Alka-Seltzer we believe you will agree with us. But try Alka-Seltzer because it is an unusually effective medicine not because you enjoy the radio programs.
