 WMRN Twentieth Year of Service Route 23 Highway Script Page. circa 1960. Station
script/editorial page. WMRN-2026-061.

 
  WMRN Twentieth Year of Service Route 23 Highway Script Page (WMRN-2026-061) 
is a station-script accession associated with WMRN editorial or public-affairs commentary,
preserved within the WMRN Editorial and Public Affairs Collection. The page is typed
on orange Radio WMRN Script stock carrying WMRN-AM, WMRN-FM, ABC Network, and Twentieth
Year of Service branding.  The script discusses Route 23 improvement, state highway
planning for 1960-1963, and local civic coordination around Marion's transportation
needs. It appears to begin a separate commentary from the snow-removal pages and
is therefore accessioned on its own.

### Historical Significance

 This page documents WMRN's engagement with local and regional infrastructure issues
through station commentary.  Although the surviving page may be incomplete, it preserves
evidence of WMRN using broadcast script material to discuss Marion's highway access,
civic planning, and local-government priorities.
