Ever since 1934, a few lively bars of the William Tell Overture and the wild, hyper-Western cry "Hi-Yo, Silver, away!" has announced that the Lone Ranger was riding again on the Mutual Broadcasting System. Last month the Ranger was riding a new range. The Blue Network had successfully outbid MBS, has been awarded the program (7:30 p.m. E.W.T.) by Sponsor General Mills...
