Show Two Kiwanis Clubs Sponsor Radio Program On KJAftf Under the joint sponsorship of the Vernal and Roosevelt Kiwanis Ki-wanis clubs, beginning last Sunday, Sun-day, Sept. 23, a special "Ii's Fun to Live in America" program pro-gram will appear over Radio Station KJAM at Vernal for 13 consecutive weeks at 4:30 p. m. on Sundays. During 1948 and 1949, Kiwanis Kiwan-is International sponsored the "It's Fun to Live in America," project in pamphlet form, and over a million copies of the two 12-month series were distributed dis-tributed to the American public. About 85 per cent of all the nearly -3000 clubs joined in the project which brought to Kiwanis Ki-wanis International a prominent award for the most outstanding project among service clubs to curb and eliminate the spread i of Communism. 1 Now the 24 pamphlets have 1 been reconverted into a radio 1 program, with transcriptiors having been made of them. Several Sev-eral other clubs which operate in communities where radio stations sta-tions are located, have begun, or will sponsor the project. Each program lasts 15 minutes. According to J. D. Walker, local Kiwanis president, KJAM is dnoating the time free to the two clubs as a public service to the Uintah Basin. Lee Walker is manager of KJAM and is also president of the Vernal Kiwanis club. |
