Radio for Sale
Sirs:
Your announcement last night regarding discontinuing undoubtedly the best program on the air was met with nothing less than a young war.
... If such comes to pass, our radio will probably be advertised for sale for any amount less than a dollar—for who would want a radio with no "March of Time" to look forward to?
Think it over—and have a heart.

Bulova Watch
Sirs:
The possible discontinuance of "The March of Time" feature is to me the most regrettable occurrence in radio history.
BEN F. SWARTSBERG
Bulova Watch Company New York City
It would not be so regrettable, if there were many another program equally good. —ED.
Nuisance
Sirs:
Please continue to broadcast "The March of Time." It is one of the few programs on the air which make a radio set any more than a plain nuisance.

Calamity
Sirs:
I consider taking off "The March of Time" from the air, not only a great deprivation to countless thousands of us but a veritable calamity as well.
There are so few good things on the air nowadays, things that a person of brains and culture can enjoy. To us, as to any number of others, it was the finest, most worthwhile thing on the air. We looked forward to it so eagerly from week to week. Won't you change your mind, please?

Sirs:
It will be a veritable Calamity if you take "The March of Time" off the air. Why are you giving it up?
ELIZABETH WHITING
Chatham, N. J.
Why? Because TIME'S advertising appropriation is not an inexhaustible fund. —ED.
Epochal
Sirs:
Do not discontinue this epochal "March" unless it is absolutely necessary. Radio broadcasting, still in its infancy, will have slipped back into the cradle if the air loses this milestone.

Not absolutely necessary; but from the cold, canny dollar-and-cents point of view of the Business Department, no longer expedient.—ED.
Loss
Sirs:
I realize that TIME, itself, may well dispense with this feature as an advertisement, but your radio audience can ill afford to lose such a pleasure and such a delightful source of information as to what is going on in the world.
Don't discontinue it.
A. W. LADD
Astoria, N. Y.
TIME will listen to any reasonable plan for its continuance.—ED.
Shut-in
Sirs:
Don't—please don't discontinue "The March of Time" program—this plea from a shut-in whose only news comes over the radio. Please add my small voice to those others who need you.
