Now, I am the first one in the world to admit I don’t know anything about frequency modula tion except the scraps of information I have picked up here and there. But from what I can gather, FM is on its wav and we should have FM sets within a short period. But so many of my friends disagree with me. They claim it will be a long time before FM sets are on the market* How about giving us a little in formation on the subject. With best regards, G. F. M. Wilmington, N. C. You are perfectly right when you say FM sets are on their way. As a matter of fact, according to all information going over this department’s desk, if it were not for the strikes, FM sets would be on the market right now. And another thing, while talking about FM sets, they will not be as ex pensive as the average person seems to think. Just the other day I was talking to a representative from one of the major radio manu facturing plants and he told me his company is planning to install FM bands in every set manufacture from now on. Of course the FM band will be in addition to the standard bands found on all sets before the war. The prices of his company’s sets would be on the same level as prices before the war. Taking his word for the present situation, and he should know, it looks as if FM will be on the market in the very near fu ture, strikes not withstanding. Dear Ben: Knowing of your in terest in the development oi projects for the good of the com munity, I wonder if you could print this letter, or at least say something about the idea express ed in it. Recently we nave been nearing about the city buying the Bellamy home to be used as a public li brary. I think it would be won derful thing if this project were carried through. We do need a li brary and there isn’t a building in the city better suited. But the idea I had in mine, and I would like to have the opinions of others, is that, if the city did buy that property why couldn’t they turr over the bam in back of the house for a museum. We really need one in this city. We have a fine his torical background and our evi dences of antiquity should be dis played to the general public. With many thanks in advance for any publicity you will give this suggestion, I am, Mrs. B— Sunset Park In Passing Wrightsville Chief of Police M S.

Round-about ** spot review oi yesieiuay&j "Teen-A g e Me rry-Go-Round” shows four bells for the cast of New Hanover High school stu dents who participated in the air ing. They were unusually good and have pulled rave notices since they displayed their exceptional talent. From start to finish, the cast was on the ball and the show clicked in a big way. Several members of tve cast were making their first appearance before the mike, but from the number of telephone calls this coiirmn has re ceived it is apparent that only families and friends were aware of this fact. No greater compli ment could pay these performers. Included in the broadcast were: Douglas McKoy, Barbara Stem berger, Pat Hardwicke, Bill Pet ers, Hampton Frady, Harry Will mott, Pat Howe, and Jimmy Yopp. Peters, who is president of the New Hanover student council, act ed as moderator of the program’s round table club and was a credit to his schoolmates. Little Jimmy Yopp, no bigger than a minute, a seven-year-old pupil at Tileston school, stepped up when his turn came around like a veteran radio actor. But one would have a hard job selecting or naming the top all turned off in a worth while job. al lturned off in a worth while job. Next week, according to the Merry Go-Round reporter, Barbara Stern berger, the leads from the Glee club’s operetta will be on hand when the Merry-Go-Round starts its ride.

MARION HARGROVE WILL SPEAK HERE Noted Army Author, Mem ber Of Yank Staff, Sponsored By Jaycees Wilmingtonians who have follow ed the colorful career of Marion Hargrove, at “See Here Private Hargrove” fame, will have an op portunity for a close-up when he lectures in the New Hanover high school auditorium at 8 p.m., Fri day, March 15, under auspices of the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

In 1938, he entered Belmont Ab bey college, where he served as publicity director for the school. From there he went to Washing ton, D. C., and secured employ ment as a soda-jerk, but that phase of his career was short-lived and within two weeks, he was back in Charlotte, working as a movie usher. Following a brief stay as usher, Hargrove returned to the News and remained there until he enter ed the Army in the summer of 1941. His Army career included ten months at Fort Bragg, and assign ments as an editor with Yank, Army weekly, and as Yank cor respondent in China. He was dis charged with the rank of sergeant last September. Never put butter in a cold frying pan. Winter Park Resident Ditches Own Vehicle To Avoid Collision Three times is the charm at least B. F. Ozment, Sr., Winter Park, is a firm believer in the old adage. Ozment was driving home from work early yesterday morning on the Spofford Mill road when he was blinded by the lights from an oncoming car. He said it was either a case of hitting the car head-on or go ing into the ditch. He took the latter choice. Turning off the ignition key, he dropped to the floor of the car and counted three times as the car rolled over. The car that caused the trouble did not stop. Ozment got out of the wreck ed machine, walked two miles to his home and, looking into a mirror, discovered the only injury he had received was a small laceration over the right eye. Rev.
