# Everybody's Listening to America Calling the Philippines (English poster distributed in the Philippines)

A Philippine poster for a Sunday Voice of America program, 'America Calling the Philippines', with the times and 920 kilocycles. A cartoon file of a woman in traditional dress, a man with a pipe, a woman with books, a farmer in a wide hat and a girl walks toward a radio where a kneeling man listens. The tell is bandwagon: the headline 'Everybody's Listening' and the line of listeners imply universal tuning-in.
