There is much speculation over the
absence of the Bing Crosby show
from the higher ratings . . . Many
reasons ha vs been expounded ...
It’s the network, it's a bad show,
Crosby's slipping, etc. . . . but ths
most obvious reason probably haa
been entirely overlooked . •. It’s the
night. A glance at the 16 top pro
grams reveals that most of them are
on Sunday, a night when most peo
ple are home listening to the radio
... the popularity of the Bandwagon,
one of the poorest programs on the
air, lends support to the theory that
the “when” counts as much as the
•who* The Bandwagon, of course
Is' also aided by the fact that It Is
sandwiched between the Jack Benny
show and the Charlie McCarthy
show, both of which hava high
Hoopers ... but the “Take It or
Leave It” program gets no such
break yet Is up there . . • would It

Sunday? ,

Someone else with a crying need

1946
Every person who travels is entitled to
these facts about bus transportation dur
ing 1946. Greyhound Lines started this
first peacetime year with almost exactly
\ the same equipment which had already
" , carried more than half a billion passengers
—troops and war workers—up, down, and
- across the Nation for four hectic war years.
Many of the coaches were worn and weary.
*>, Some of them broke down. Replacement
v parts were hard to get. Worst of all, some
passengers were, on occasion, left at sta
tions, delayed, or inconvenienced because
of the shortage of serviceable buses.
In spite of these handicaps. Greyhound did
its level best to continue efficient service,
and it succeeded in carrying far more pas
sengers than it had served even in the bus-
* iest pre-war years. During this difficult
period. Greyhound has been deeply grate
ful for the understanding and patience of
all who have traveled the great highways
of America.
1947
Increased comfort, convenience, and travel
pleasure are assured Greyhound travelers
in 1947. Early in the coming year, the first
shipment of 1,400 modern new coaches—
on order for many months—will be deliv
ered and immediately put into service.
They will have scores of improved features
for added safety and riding ease.
And this is only part of Greyhound’s long-
planned, nationwide improvement pro
gram, which includes the construction of
fine new terminals in key cities, the mod
ernization of wayside stations, the installa
tion of two-way radio , in all ^coaches for
better schedule control, more additions to
the present chain of 65 Greyhound Post
Houses. /
As the year 1947 rolls along, q|Qfe new
buses will daily come from assembly lines
to join the Greyhound fleet, a^d the im
provement program, hampered by the
material shortages of 1946, will gather
speed. So, look forward to better highway
travel—by Greyhound—beginning soon,
and increasing each day of 1947.
