Special Despatch [sic] to Sunday Telegram

Sanford, Feb. 8--York County has one of the youngest radio teams in the State, if not in all New England, known as The Jolly Three and consisting of Irene Luby, 13; Ralph Parson, 14; and Edward Norwood, 15.  They are known by listeners to Station WHEB, Portsmouth, N.H., as Sis, Eddie and Bunky.

The trio is in charge of Irving Cilley, step-father of Irene Luby.  Irene is a pupil in the 7th grade at the Emerson School and is the featured singer of the group.  Ralph Parson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Parson of Blaisdell's Corner, Lebanon.  Edward Norwood lives at North Rochester, N.H.

They present cowboy and modern music and have been received with much favor not only over the air, but also at personal appearances.
