Listennig In has been advised by Santa, via grapevine, that some 400- odd radios were delivered this year to Decatur people as Christmas gifts.

The Pacific Coast was permanently linked to the NBC's studios in New York and Chicago Monday evening. Tha first program to go out over the extended chain was the General Motors party.
