Offered to Wager
Sirs:
A seasoned TIME subscriber for a long while--I enjoyed your quiz tonight. A friend and I tuned in on the second question, and neither of us had heard previous quizzes. However, I recognized the TIME style and offered to wager that TIME had prepared the quiz.
Permit me to congratulate you upon your announcer* who handled the quiz. He is one of the best I have heard.

Hopes "Ma" Heard
Sirs:
After hearing the lecture given on Jan. 27, I am sending for TIME.
I hope "Ma"/- heard the last question and answer, and every Red-Blooded American.
The air sure is full of good news.
Waiting patiently for TIME,
Miss REA CRIDGE

Uplifting, Instructive
Sirs:
Yes, please, I would like the offered copy of TIME.
That feature of your program I considered fine. More worth while than the general run of programs. I feel there are many in the country and in small towns that long for something uplifting and instructive when "listening in."

Won't Soon Forget
Sirs:
I listened to your news reports given ki the form of questions on Thursday evening and was so well pleased I felt I must write and give you my opinion.
The idea is certainly novel and is educational. I could not answer all of the questions but knowledge gained will not soon be forgotten.

Caught Her
Sirs:
Your question program was fine. Give us another. My better half is not a radio bug, but you caught her this time.
Very respectfully,

Learned Something
Sirs:
. . . I learned several things that I did not know, so it is useless for me to say I lost.*

Music Flayed
Sirs:
. . . I enjoy the TIME review as much as anything I listen to these days and I think it is the most wonderful magazine published for busy people; I read it every week; and subjects are handled so entertainingly, and the review just helps us hold what we have read. But is it necessary to be accompanied by music ? That is very annoying when one is trying to hear what you are saying. We would be glad to do without it. . . .

The Complete Scotsman
Sirs: Being one of your radio fans, I must congratulate you on the program I heard Thursday night from TIME s entertainers Jan. 27, 1927. Your station is very clear here in Truro, N. S., Canada. I would like to suggest to you from Truro, that I would like to hear a program of Scotch music and songs some night. You have got some very good Scotch talent around your station. I would like very much to receive a copy of TIME, or any of the souvenirs you are sending out from your station. I am listening in every night from Monday until Thursday. Would like you to announce my name from your station next Thursday night, saying how well I received the program in Truro. I am quite a Scotch entertainer myself. My home is Glasgow, Scotland. I am on the staff of the college here in charge of the Physical Training.

His Radio Told Him
Sirs:
My radio told me you had a copy of TIME for me. Your program of questions and answers was very interesting and instructive.

Feet on Seat
Sirs:
Your questions and answers from "News from TIME" were much enjoyed. The family got such a kick out of it that we have decided to order next year's coal. We answered eight questions out of the eleven. Please send us a copy of TIME.
One of our family was so excited that after "questions and answers" were over she found herself sitting on top of the back of a chair, feet on the seat. (A grown-up too.)
