Radio Broadcasting
Station Is Planned
For Klamath Falls
Installation of a broadcasting station to tell the bright
eyed world who's who and what's what in Klamath
county is the plan of Lynn P. Sabin, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, who has brought the matter be
fore the board of directors for serious consideration.
A good broadcasting station which can send Klamath's
clarion message up and down the coast would cost
about $3600, he estimates, but the publicity which the
"Empire Awakening" would receive would be worth
many times that amount, he believers
Klamath county has any number of artists who could
provide good weekly programs for such a broadcasting
station, while the various communities woutS be invited
lo stage programs at frequent intervals, under Sabin's
proposal.
