A Hair-Raising Suggestion

; |F everyone is not completely fedup with "wild requests’’ and sug- ; gestions for brighter programmes, : may | add my inspiration to the : list-a Ghost Session. | suggest : this take the form of a really hair- : raising ghost story, timed to. end : dramatically on the stroke of mid- : night, with the twelve o'clock : chimes as a background to the an- : nouncer’s ‘‘Good-night, everybody! : Sweet dreams!’’ A little intense : music beforehand would create at- : mosphere. : The idea is full of exciting possibili- : ties! Think of the kick a weary : radio announcer would get out of : it, after a long day at the mike, : being pleasant. Think how he would : relish the thought of being the only : person to have a sound, untroubled : sleep. Or do radio announcers : sleep? Think of the kick the boy- : friend would get as the girl-friend : clutched tighter as they said : "Good-night’’! Imagine the thrill : she’d get making him think she was : really afraid of a ghost! : The idea is a wow! How about > it Commercials?
