2ZB’s SCOOP
Heard The News Before Proud Father | TATION 2ZB has, in its time, instituted some novel broadcasts, and on a recent Saturday morning the station added to the list by making a real scoop, Informed by ’phone at his home, where he had spent a harrowing night, that an important broadcast was to take place at 6.30 a.m., Don Rushworth, of ‘the station’s technical staff, rushed to his radio. Tuning in to 2ZB, he heard a dissertation on 2ZB’s technicians by Peter Whit-church-what fine chaps they were, how quietly and unassumingly they worked, etc., ete. _ Followed comical records, "The Em-pire-Builder," and "Why Don’t You Tell Me These Things?" and then the weary floor-pacer heard the great news, His own station informed him that he was the father of a son and heir! By some means 2ZB got the news before the proud parent, which only goes to show the modern trend-people used to get the news from the Nursing Home, but now they listen in to 2ZB!
