National attention will be
focused on Texas on Monday
night. April 18, when a radio
panorama in music and story of
the State’s contribution to the
historical, cultural and industrial

The program will be broadcast
at 8:30 p. m., Est., over the
National Broadcasting Com-
pany’s chain of more than forty
stations and will be heard in
every section of the country.

holds, where turkeys march to
market in droves of 10,000 strong
and where a single pecan or-
chard yields a half million dol-
lar crop.
The program coincides with

With Me to the Bower,” sung by
Sam Houston’s troops dining the
war for independence, will be
sung by the male chorus as well
as the cowboy and ranger songs
