As a follow-up on the activities of our personnel, this is to advise that the KeeNeR DJ's kept their 'winning streak' intact - at ZERO - when they participated in a basketball game last Sunday against members of the Detroit Area Sportscasters Association. In spite of their defeat, it was for a good cause and a good time was had by all.

WKNR gets many thank-you letters, one of which, received this past week, reads (in part) as follows:

"We, the instructors and the RO'l'C cadets of Southeastern High School "Salute You" and the WKNR radio station for making "The Pledge of Allegiance" by Red Skelton your Keener record of the week. We think that this was one of the finest gestures that a radio station has made in a very long time."

Visitors to the station: Four girls on February 27, three of whom were newly arrived from England who plan to make their home in the area.

The newest KeeNeRite on the premises is Don Burns, Jr., our news cruiser operator. Welcome to the group, Don!

seen her for a couple of days .
