DON’T BE

The portable two-way radio set is fine on
the battlefront. It’s one of the many amaz-

ing scientific devices that is hastening

victory.

But at home, the human kind of walkie-
talkie is a pest. . . and sometimes a dan-
gerous enemy, even though he may not
know it. He prattles about everything hé
hears ... and doesn’t care who’s listening.

Let’s tune him out... for good.

REMEMEER,
