T^he Milk Center of the World". That's the name and the designation, the distinction and the very reason for being of the enterprising little city of Harvard, 111. Since Harvard is one of our not too distant neighbors, we -are familiar with many of its activities. On June 5 of this year, the town celebrated Milk Day, a day when' the dairy country and the dairymen are brought into well deserved prominence. Harvard, like McHenry, has many people who are vitally interested in, and deeply concerned with, its growth and progress. One of the most energetic of its boosters is the radio personality, Esther Blodgett. Mrs. Blodgett broadcasts daily over stations WCLO Janesville (1230 on your dial) and WGEZ Beloit (1490 on dial) at 12:15 to 1 daylight saving- time. Her program is called "The Harvard Area Hour". Those who have FM radio may hear her on 100 (on dial). Mrs. Blodgett's programs are as varied as they are interesting. She covers a wide range of subjects for her regular listeners in at least four counties. Her program is carried on the Wisconsin network of the Mutual broadcasting system. Among her many popular subjects, McHenry News has its own followers. Since McHenry will elect its Marine Day queen next Saturday, we prevailed upon Mrs. Blodgett to bring her recorder to McHenry after the results of the election are known and record the comments of many of McHenry's most prominent citizens who are wholeheartedlv behind our Marine Dav celebration. These comments will be broadcast over her "Harvard Area Hour*" program. We feel that our Marine Day program will benefit tremendously through the broadcasts of Mrs. Blodgett's program. It will help to make our Marine Day more successful than ever. Be sure to tune in at 12:15 (daylight time) on station WCLO or WGEZ (1230 or 1490 on AM and 100 on FM).
