1948: The Associated Canadian Travellers Brandon Club
Amateur Night In aid of the Turberculosis Preventive Fund
The big night, the A.C.T. Amateur Contest, was brought to a very successful conclusion on Saturday night last with a visual broadcast over CKX Brandon. At both performances the Crandall theatre was crowded to capacity, and each item on the splendidly arranged program was well rendered and liberally supported, as the final tally will bear out. The result, at the present time, will it is believed, place Crandall at the top of the list of the ce??tr?n on this seasons broadcasts, with a few hundreds over the $1000. mark.
