Vol.2 No.10 March 6, 1968 Grace Potts, Editor
Another very successful KeeNeR promotion took place last Friday and Phil Nye
can never again say he's been forgotten. In fact, with a lump in his throat
and tears of gratitude streaming down his face, he sends this thank-you
note:
"Due to the overwhelming response to the "Want ad" placed in your weekly
sheet, I have decided it is in the best interests of myself, my party and my
loyal supporters to withdraw from the annual birthday card race. This
decision was made after a short-light look and I announce it with no regret.
Your response has been gratifying and I thank you. Moments like these are to
be cherished forever. But someone once said, "Beware the Ides of March" and
other things --so I must urgently request that the first of March no longer
be considered a KeeNeR holiday and henceforth instead of your tributes,
please donate to my favorite charity, namely, "The Don Wagner Diet Pill
Fund."
Paul Cannon was a Judge last Saturday night, March 2 to choose a girl to be
the Maid of Erin, who will represent the Gaelic League in the St. Patrick's
Day parade. There were 12 contestants and a student from Madonna College was
the winner. This is Paul's second year as a Judge. Paul also gave a talk on
radio operation Tuesday, March 5 in Pleasant Ridge to members of Rotary Anns,
the women's division of Rotary, International.

A visitor to the station last Wednesday, February 28, was Don Schuster, a
10th grade student from Harper Woods. Mr. Patterson was so absorbed with
this youngster and his knowledge of radio that he was late for an
appointment.
Jerry Goodwin and his wife have enrolled in classes being conducted at Wayne
State University on the Study of Human Behavior Patterns for sensitivity
training. This is a program which was started 11 years ago by Dow Chemical
in the interest of helping people with problems, trying to understand why
people do things they do, etc. Jerry and his wife are now trainers in this
work. Jerry, Why does Harry Walker do the things he does?
PROJECT DETROIT subject for Sunday, March 10, 1968 is "Garbage - a
By-Product of Affluence."
