GOVERNMENT GIVES SLUSSER LICENSE
______
Logansport has its first high meter government registered radio broadcasting station. James Slusser, seventeen year old Pharos-Tribune carrier boy, has been granted a license for the station.
It has been given the call WHBL and assigned to 220 meters.
Under the license as just received by Slusser he is given unlimited hours for broadcasting and may put on the waves programs of any nature.
Young Slusser has made a phenomenal rise in the radio work. He became interested in the work during the World war when but a lad of ten years. Two years later he secured a Pharos-Tribune paper route and from his profits in this work secured most of the equipment, first as a listener, then as an amateur and then with the higher power equipment. James resides with his grandmother at 1214 Erie avenue.
