Raymond Willis 435 Yeah, Radio was the only way of knowing, there were no telephones over here at that time, nobody had none of them, that happened in 1941 or 1942, somewhere around in there didn’t it? When that war broke out. It was over in 1945 or wasn’t it? I believe 1945 was when that Second World War was over, but we’d listen to radio Saturday evening, Saturday day night there, that Lowell Thomas would come on, he was a news commentator and he would tell the world news, Lowell Thomas was his name. And uh, we would keep up with what was going on with him. On the old radio, but now we finally, we had a radio that we could plug into electricity then, but I remember when there wasn’t any electricity they joust came so far up this holler with electricity at one time. It came up through here in 1939. We used to have them battery radios. And we would put them big ole long batteries they were about that long and about that wide (about 3 foot wide by 6 inches thick) in the oven to heat them up, charge them up. Heat them up a little bit and you could listen to the radio on them after you’d charge them back up. You know, nobody had no money, you couldn’t, if it had brand new ones around, you couldn’t buy them because none of us had no money to buy nothing with.
