BEGINNING the first week in October, you're going to have a chance to get Boys' Life stories over the air, as well as in the magazine itself. They'll come to you from the Columbia network, starting with about a dozen important stations and gradually increasing until they come from thirty or more. If you look at the story, Monsters of the Mist, in this issue, and then at the chances you have to earn all sorts of things that are described in the Libby, McNeill and Libby advertisement on Page 31, you can get an idea of how good a combination it's going to be.

Naturally, there'll be an Og story in the November issue to go with the rest of the series that will be broadcast. The Mountain That Walks is the name of it, and the picture for next month's cover is an illustration for it.

There'll be an article about Prehistoric Man on this continent, too, giving some of the scientific background of the Og stories. It's written by Frank Cross, who gave us the article on meteorites, Stones From the Sky, in the August issue.

A football story by Harold Sherman, The Bench Warmer, and some mighty useful football advice from Andy Kerr, Colgate's famous football coach, will carry along your football interest.
