From Those Were The Days
6/17
1942 Suspense, known as radio's outstanding theatre of thrills,
debuted on CBS. The program kept millions of loyal listeners in suspense
for the next 20 years (and three months).
6/18
1939 CBS aired The Adventures of Ellery Queen for the first time. An
interesting twist came near the end of the program when the show was
stopped to allow a panel of experts to guess the solution of the night's
mystery.
1961 Gunsmoke was broadcast for the last time on CBS. The show had
been on for nine years. It was called the first adult Western. The star
of Gunsmoke was William Conrad.
6/19
1934 The [removed] Congress established the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The task of the commission was to regulate radio
broadcasting.

Hi everybody,
I help produce some of the live radio events on the west coast. Do you know
of any one that have created display of radio premium items that can be
seen by the public? For example a display of Jack Armstrong, Captain
Midnight, Tom Mix premiums? Does any one know if there still home products
produce today that feature labels of the 1940s? For example I understand
Vermont Coutry Store was selling Lux Soap with 1940s labels on them. I
think some of these items might work will at silent auction to help support
these productions. Thank you for any help,
Walden Hughes

I have been reviewing what I have collected over the last 30 years . .

'essential'?
(I'll tell you my list later)
