tag of their confectionery and
(porting goodi store here has
been set for noon of January 17,
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ross said, yes
terday. Building of the new
structure, located on the north
side of Pine street near second
street, was begun last June and
opening of the business has been
hampered by material and equip
ment shortages.
A full line of confections and
lunches and home-made pies
will be served according to the
Rosses. Stools at the Philippine
mahogany topped counter ac
commodate 12 and booths will
handle the same number. The
proprietors will also sell maga
zines and newspapers.
A complete line of sporting
goods and athletic equipment
will be handled as soon as those
items are available. A small
line is In stock now.
The sporting goods section
occupies the left side of the 27
by 36 foot room and the foun

Is decorated with stuffed fowl

A pioneer in
eternal youth'
Th Petsr Pan of the air waves
ever as youthful as the com
pany it keeps is now entering
Its 18th distinguished year. De
spite the war, the continuity of
the Standard School Broadcast
has remained unbroken for al
most two decades.
We moke bold to me the
word "distinguished" because it
is the choice of Ohio State Uni
versity an institution long
alert to developments in educa
tion by radio.
Ohio State recently gave the
Standard School Broadcast "first
award as a distinguished educa
tional radio program." It is the
third time our School Broadcast
has won the acclaim of the uni-.
Tersity.
These recurring awards sug
gest that, while a true pioneer,
the School Broadcast has noth
ing in common with the crystal
set, the covered wagon, and the
dodo. Rather, it is as ageless as
the two elements it brings to
gether great music and child
hood. Over the) years our purpose
has been to help youngsters
realize for themselves that great
music is as friendly and helpful
as the teacher in the classroom.
Wo've wanted only to help
them meet Mozart and Brttho
ven and other musical greats,
not as remote super-grownups,
but as friends who, like the
teacher and the bus-driver, de
serve acceptance in their world.
To that end our effort always
bat been to make the program
fresh, eager and child-liked.
That's why children in 5,000
Western schools welcome it on
Thursday mornings at ten over
the NBC network, as a compan
ion to me musical studies of the
schools themselves, Thati why
we hope that, like Peter Pan, it
will never grow up.
