The song was written and recorded three years ago by Jimmy Clark, music director of WJR. WJR then contributed recording facilities and staff to distribute Clark’s version free.

This time, WXYZ is pressing the records and distributing them to Detroit radio stations and radio stations, schools and organizations all over the nation. The campaign was originated by the Women’s Advertising Club in Detroit. END
