Frank Edwards Broadcasts 1953 Frank Edwards will continue his nightly news broadcasts over the Mutual Network during 1953 under the sponsorship of the American Federation of Labor, it was announced at A.F.L. headquarters. This will l)e the 4th consecutive year that the liberal news comment~1tol' will he heard from coast to coast under A.F.L. sponsorship. The A.F.L. Executive Council recommended the continuation of the radio series and its suggestion was approved by the recent A.F.L. convention. Ti me Reserved In the past 3 years, the A.F.L. has purchased time on a large Mutual network Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and a smaller network on Tuesday and Thursday nights for the Frank Edwards show. Next year an effort will be made to switch the larger network to Monday, Tuesday and Thurl:ida)' nights, so al:i not to conflict with the big fight broadcasts on Wednesday and Friday nights, As in the past, the Edwards broadcasts will originate from Washington, D. C., at 10 rl.m., Eastern Standard Time. However he is heard at other times in some localities, so it is advisable to con- The March of Dime. As polio casts its shadow over its potential victims of 1953, the need for a quick knockout blow grows in significance. That punch will take a tremendous amount of March of Dimes funds. We must make certain that as in the past, no polio patient goes wjthout care for lack of funds. The press of the nation has supplied key support for the March of Dimes in bringing the fight against polio to the brink of success. We hope we have this vital support again in the 1953 March of Dimes. broadcasts will enable listeners to obtain a liberal interpretation of the news not easily available elsewhere. Olen over 45 More than six times as many men of yom age will die of lung cancer as died in 1933. according to official report:.;. Though our research scientists are making every effort to discoyer the reason for this increase, they still don't know the answer. ,They do know, however, that the lives of over half of those who will develop lung cancer can be saved . . , if they get proper treatment while the disease is still in the silent stage, before any symptoms have appeared, That is why we urge you to have a chest X-ray every six months when you have your regular health check-up . , . no matter how well you may feel. Since only an X-ray can detect the "silent shadow" in its earliest stages, it is your best insurance against death from lung cancer.
