Capitol Records Slated to Release New Beatles LPs in U.S. after Christmas
HOLLYWOOD — Capitol is lining up Beatles material for a year-end sales splurge. Newest product in production is the LP “Beatles ’65,” which will be released the day after Christmas, featuring seven new tunes by Lennon-McCartney.
The LP being produced by Dave Dexter will follow the two-record special, “The Beatles Story,” out later this month. Dexter said the new LP will not be identical to same titled album to be released in England because the group’s latest single, “I Feel Fine“ backed with “She’s A Woman,” will not be included.
Despite the many British rock guitar groups which have followed the Beatles, Dexter feels the Beatles are immune to weakening sales action. Since they were the first mop-tops, he feels they have captured the “hearts” of teen-agers. But he does say that new groups have to develop a different sound since the guitar sound is not new any more. END

Give Thanks Where You Worship, This Thanksgiving Day
TODAY, FAR TOO MANY OF US think of Thanksgiving in terms of food and football — overlooking the fact that there is so much more food offered than that which is placed on the family table. For there is much “food for thought” as well.
Thanksgiving is a time to take stock of life’s blessings . . . to take a bright-eyed child on your knee and talk to him, or her, of things that really matter. . . of their great American heritage and the promise it holds for them. It’s a time to take your whole family to your church or synagogue for an hour of prayer and thanks that will make your holiday mean so much more.
True, our lives are far removed from those of the Pilgrim Fathers. We live in the uncertainty of the Atomic Age. But we also live in the abundance of 20th Century America. Has any one of us so much or so little that he cannot find room or time in his heart to say thanks?
This Thanksgiving, why not take your family to your church or synagogue? Wherever you are . . . whatever your beliefs may be . . . take time to offer your word of thanks.
FIND THE STRENGTH FOR YOUR LIFE . . .WORSHIP TOGETHER THIS WEEK!

Heard in the United States, Detroit, Michigan, CJSP was a Canadian station situated on the AM dial at 710 KHZ. The station was owned by Sun Parlour Broadcasting. A daytimer, the CJSP studios was located across the Detroit River in Leamington, Ontario. In 1962, CJSP was a Top 40 station when the featured Fascinatin’ 50 chart went to print, 60 years ago, this week.
CJSP signed on in March 1955. The station’s call letters was retained for 12 years until September 1967, when the CRTC (Canadian Radio Television Commission) approved the station’s request to change its calls to CHYR. The daytimer’s new calls letters also adopted a new station moniker, C-H-Y-R, popularly referenced by the late 1960s as, ‘CHEER Radio’.
By late 1967, the station had the distinction having operated under two licenses, in the daytime it was CHYR and during the night-time hours it switched over to CHIR. Sometime in 1974, the calls letters were re-amended and became CHYR-7 during the station’s broadcasting night-time hours.
