FREE PUBLICITY ■ ■■ ' :
Homer received some unexpected free publicity recently in
Sacramento, California, and we are happy to say that the HEWS
played a small part. " ^
It all came about when a local radio listener, Homer
Thompson, requested a song be played -on the "Small Hours
Club” over station KFBK, Sacramento« Along with his request
he enclosed a copy of the NEWS* Disc jockey Bob Hawkins of
the early morning show not only .played the requeet but read
Thompson's letter and a good portion of the paper over ttie
air• ■ '■
Unfortunately Homer Thompson didn't he or the program for
some reason or other, but Coke Nelson, who was on duty at the
airport, picked it up and told us about it* .
We very much appreciate Homer Thompson's thoughtfulness
and the kind deed done the community and the paper by Bob
Hawkins«
The "Small Hours Club” can be heard over KFBK, at 1540,
according to our radio, from 12 midnight to 3 a*m* Tune in,
its a good program* _.
