“It’s such a relief to know that the program to boost Dad’s picture is going through all right,” she said. After a pause she went on, “What shall we do about the jobs in Radio City?”

“I’ve thought of that, but an opportunity to work in Radio City doesn’t come every day. In six months we’ll have had enough. Then we can go back and start our university careers at Corn Belt U.”
“What will our folks think?” asked Helen.
“I believe they’ll agree with us that six months here in radio work can be looked upon as a valuable part of our education.”
