...water minnows will. Ditches get stagnant and mosquito-filled. It is hoped and expected that from Palos Park's hole in the ground no single adult mosquito will fly-for which the valley's residents may thank their itching stars, for a single female mosquito can beget in a single season 75 times as many bloodthirsty offspring as there are human beings to bite on the face of the earth...

This opulent wedding of Big Business and Show Business will thus beget a lively brood of ck ,vns and crooners, ingenues and instrumentalists, mimes and maestros who serve as U. S. Industry's most spectacular sales crew. It had taken a summer of wangling and finegling between talent agents, time salesmen, admen and sponsors to line up the 1936-37 radio'season, which...
