Harold Ronthron, Hensall; We just get fair reception although it's been good during the past few weeks. The programs are getting better. In the fall, they weren’t much good—too many western programs. Now we can get Paul Whiteman, Guy Lom bardo and the better shows and some very 'good stories. Mrs, Florence Joynt, Hensail: I think it’s wonderful but we can't .get good reception all the time. There is a variety of pro grams and most of them are good. In the winter months, when we enjoy it most, it doesn’t work as well as in the warmer weather, It’s wonderful to think we can see performers in New York and Detroit right in our own home. Ray Frayne, Exeter: I like mine all right. The programs are very good. We get sports, news, variety shows, musicals and wes tern etc. but the reception isn’t dependable. You get it today 'but not tomorrow. Alf Wuertli, Exeter: It’s very good entertainment although at times the reception is very hazy. If I had to do without either radio or television, I’d give up the television. You can get radio all the time but you can't on television.
