Howdy, Roundup Friends:

This month, Round -up Magazinegrows up!

Yes, our "war baby" which wasscoffed at by doubting Thomases whenwe first started, has progressed con-tinually. Thiscould n o t havehappened had itnot been for theconfidence shownby you chartersubscribers a n dthe hundreds ofn e w subscribersadded monthly.

It was touch-and-go duringthose earlymonths of the Round-up's existencebut in spite of numerous obstaclesDoc Embree met his deadlines witheverybody here at WIBW pitching inwith a helping hand. The result hasbeen, in my estimation, a publicationof which we can all be proud.

The Diamond Jubilee Santa Fe TrailRodeo, sponsored by the TopekaRound -up Club, provides the ideal oc-casion to flash the green light on ourexpansion plans for Round -up Maga-zine. PRC Western Star, Eddie Dean,formerly of WIBW, is Grand Marshalof the Rodeo and no doubt many ofyou will see him when you visit To-peka during this great event. We hopeyou'll stop in and visit us while youare in town.

So, as Round -up starts another era,here's a hearty "thank you" to our oldfriends, and a friendly "welcome" toour new members of the WIBW family!

Next MonthRight now the photographer is

spending his spare time out on the BarNothing Ranch, trying to capture apart of the charm of the place for afeature page in next month's Round -Up . Now the charm he is trying toconnect with is the old gentleman him-self, Ezra Hawkins. A great many ofyou will be surprised to learn thatthe ranch is real, and not just a fig-ment of Ezra's imagination. Many ofthe characters he refers to on the airare real, too. Butterball, his cow, Sic-cem, his dog, Jasper, his hired -hand. . . they're plenty real enough. Sodon't miss next month's Round -Up.We'll give you the real low-down onlife at the Bar Nothing Ranch.

Also next month we plan to bringyou some action pictures taken duringthe parade for the Santa Fe TrailDiamond Jubilee Rodeo, as well assome taken in the arena.

Who would you say was the bestcarpenter around WIBW? You'd neverguess, but we're going to show you inthe August issue of the Round -Up.

Now we won't forget all the regularfeatures. Miss Maudie and HiltonHodges will tell us all the latest gossip,Gene Shipley is planning a story on thebig Kansas harvest, and I think wemight line up some pictures of someof the fish the fellows have beenbragging about.

Just one word about our back copies.We still have a limited number ofcopies of each issue from May, 1945through June, 1947, with the exceptionof December, 1945, and April, 1947. Ifyou want to complete your collectionof pictures and stories about yourWIBW favorites, you can order themat the rate of ten cents each, or fourcopies for a quarter.

It is easier to argue with the mostbrilliant' lawyer than with the mostordinary dentist.

Problems of An EditorSome time ago I had occasion to read

and laugh at a short skit written by apoor trouble -laden editor. I thought itcne of the funniest and most cleverlywritten paragraphs I'd ever seen. WishI'd had the foresight to clip and savethis masterpiece. It applies to my caseright now and "It ain't funny."

This wise editor had made a list ofthe troubles that plague editors andhad put his words together in such amanner as to make them rhyme. Hewas cleverer than I. All I can do isput down my troubles in the order inwhich they come to mind.

If I tell a joke, I'm silly; If I don't,I'm a sour=puss. If I'm late, the print-ers sulk; if I'm ahead of the deadline,I'm trying to rush them. If someonedoesn't get their magazine, they writea nasty letter to the editor; if they gettwo of them, they say, "Boy is he asucker!" If someone writes an articlea little to long, I have to cut out whatthey consider the most important part.If the story is to short, I have towrack my brain for something to fillmore space and end up with somethinglike this.-Doc.

Time out to eat, says WIBW's ArtHolbrook (center) while attending thegala world premiere of "Repeat Per-formance" at Zanesville, Ohio. Withtrusty WIBW tape -recorder, Art visitedwith stars of movieland and the writ-ing world. At the above buffet dinner,which was prepared by author LouisBromfield, Art is flanked on the leftby Inez Gerhardt, nationally -knownfeature writer and Milton Overman,Eagle -Lion film official. "Great pre-miere for an outstanding picture," saidArt upon his return. No doubt youheard his recorded report of the occa-sion.

PICNIC

SENATOR CAPPER

JULY 14

Our Cover"Grand Marshall of the Santa Fe

Trail Diamond Jubilee Rodeo," starof radio, recordings, stage andscreen, and, best of all, one of ourown boys! That's Eddie Dean!

Yes, Eddie was once one of ourstaff entertainers and seldom doesa discussion of WIBW alumni arisethat does not include the name ofEddie Dean.

Eddie is no cowboy of the drug-store variety. He was born on aTexas ranch, the seventh son of aseventh son. After graduation fromelementary and grade school, hetoured the Midwest with a quartet.In 1930 he landed at Topeka withhis brother Jimmie, and was a staffmember for two years. Travelingon to Chicago, he broke into net-work radio, and decided to try mo-tion pictures.

Eddie's acting career has beencolorful and exciting. Altho he hasappeared in other types, he prefersthe rugged western adventures be-cause he can be just plain EddieDean in them and that's plenty goodenough for us!

The Round -Up and the entire WIBWstaff wish to extend their fullest sym-pathy to Mr. and Mrs. Olaf Soward inthe sorrow brought them by the deathof their grandson.

WIBW ROUND -UP

ivot10) Strubr4- w&zt--?-4/0 /08

Our distinguished editor, "Doc" Em-bree certainly "let himself go" on thisissue, didn't he? It's a real souvenirissue that we will keep and refer toin months to come. This month we'rehonoring the Santa Fe Trail DiamondJubilee with a three-day rodeo in To-peka. And it should be a humdingerwith the finest cowboys and cowgirlsand the best broncos and livestock inthe Middle West.

The crowning of the rodeo queen inTopeka's Municipal Auditorium, May31st was like a premiere in Hollywood.The entire staff of WIBW was on handto entertain the capacity crowd andthe radio audience. Fifteen minutes be-fore the broadcast closed, GovernorFrank Carlson of Kansas opened thetelegram from Eddie Dean, cowboymovie star, and read the name of thewinner-Eileene Hardin of Hepler, Kan-sas. Colonel Reed, Superintendent ofthe Kansas Highway Patrol boostedEileene on the stage and the Governorofficially crowned her Queen. It wasan exciting moment for everyone, es-pecially Eileen. It meant a week -endin Topeka, with all expenses paid anda big part in the rodeo; an all -expensetrip to Hollywood to appear -in a moviewith Eddie Dean and of course, thewondrous surprise and excitement thatcame from the roaring applause of thethousands of people that night. Eileenis an expert rider, attractive and gra-cious and will do Kansas proud inCalifornia. There was disappointmentto the hundreds of young ladies whoentered the contest and lost-but allof them are glad for Eileen. She waspicked by Eddie Dean and officialsof the PRC, one of Hollywood's mostprogressive picture companies. Ourown Billie Baucom (Cipher) spent twoweeks in Hollywood arranging withPRC for careful selection of the Queenand a fine part for her in one of thisyear's best Western pictures.

While Billie was West, Art Holbrookand our manager Ben Ludy went Eastto Zanesville, Ohio-for the World Pre-miere of "Repeat Performance," whichstarred a Zanesville boy. Art madebroadcasts with the stars and broughtone home, which we played overWIBW two weeks ago. One of the mostinteresting people Ben and Art metwas Louis Bromfield, the famousauthor. Several years ago, Mr. Brom-

field inherited a worn-out farm inOhio. It was a challenge to him, so hemoved to the farm, spent a lot of time(and of course money) and a lot ofhard work building it up. Today, thefarm is beautiful and profitable-andMr. Bromfield, internationally -famouswriter, is now a successful and happyfarmer!

July 14th is the birthday anniversaryof Senator Arthur Capper. For manyyears, the Senator has celebrated theoccasion with a special birthday partyin one of Topeka's parks. Hundredsof children eat ice cream, enjoy therides and listen to the WIBW enter-tainers who appear on several pro-grams. Mothers and dads too, enjoythe picnic because they attended yearsago as youngsters.

Our Topeka studios are in the homethat Senator Capper built more thantwenty years ago. It's a large andlovely home-but there are about 85of us trying to live in it. That's auitea family. But like thousands of fam-ilies who can't build now because ofscarce materials and greatly increasedcosts, we'll wait for our new home.It's remarkable how well everyone getsalong at that. There's a suirit of warmcompanionship and friendliness amongthe folks here. I have 'a hunch thatspirit has a great deal to do with thefriendly, human programs the guysand gals send your way.

Henry Peters did it again! At theKansas State Trapshooting M e e t,Henry won third place in the All -Around shoot and walked off withglory and another beautiful trophy.It's common gossip that Henry's sharpeye with a shotgun is a result of hismarble shooting when he was a boy.(Or was it pool?)

Two new programs are on the air,since our last issue. At 11:30 p.m.,Monday through Friday, you can hearThe Ozark Ramblers and Sonny Slatersharing honors. And from 11:05 to11:30 p.m., The Radioaires sing thosefamous quartet numbers that have be-come a popular feature of WIBW pro-grams. A sports feature that most menenjoy is the broadcast of all the fightsheld in Topeka. We've broadcast twoof them and have received many cardsand letters from men who appreciatethis coverage. During the summer, ourTopeka fight promoter, Max Yeargin,

will present only one fight a month,but later, we will bring you two. Tellthe "boss" to listen to WIBW at 10::5on Topeka fight nights.

That's the sign -off for July.

This number modeled by Jasper hasno fear of the wind. See the rubberband that is biting into Jasper's rightear? Gruesome, isn't it? But it lookslike a million on Miss Maudie.

was a good conundrum, and when hereached home he tried it on his wife.

"You know why I am like a mule?"he asked.

"No," said his wife, "but I've oftenbeen going to ask you."

HENRY'S \EXCHAN6E

One of WIBW's most useful programs is "Henry's Exchange," heard daily,Monday through Friday, at 8:30 a.m. The amount of time and money savedWIBW listeners who follow the information and instructions given on this half-hour program is staggering to the imagination. Following are some timely hintsgleaned from the "Exchange Club" program.

HELPFUL LAUNDRY HINTS:To make bath towels light and fluffy,

alwtys rinse through 3 waters, twovery warm and the last one cold. Thetowels will be soft and fluffy.

After washing children's clothes,rinse them in water in which a littlealum has been dissolved. Use an ounceof alum in every gallon of water re-quired. This makes the garments non-inflammable and lessens the risk of ac-cidents from fire.

When washing a rayon bedspread putit in a pillow slip before placing it ina washer. The scalloped edges or finelywhipped hems will not become torn orfrayed.

Do not iron pongee material while itis damp as it will spot or stiffen. Allowit to dry, and press on the wrong side,and it will look like new.

When washing crepe dresses, add tothe rinsing water a cupful of vinegarmixed with starch. This will make thedress look like new.

Gloss in sateens can be restored bywashing them in borax water.

To prevent slips from shrinking whenlaundering, roll in a heavy bath towel.When moisture is taken up, iron andthey will be the same size as beforelaundering.

It's a good idea to add a teaspoon ortwo of kerosene to the suds when boil-ing white clothes. It cuts the dirt andmakes the clothes a lot whiter.

To set the color in delicately coloredhandkerchiefs, add a teaspoon of tur-pentine to a basin of lukewarm waterand soak the handkerchiefs for tenminutes before washing. Then wash asusual.

To keep white silk stockings, blouses,

etc., from turning yellow in laundering,use a little alcohol in the rinse water.Also when washing a white silk blouseor white satin skirt, put a teaspoon ofvinegar in the last rinsing water.

To remove every trace of dirt andgrease from men's work clothes, soakthe clothes in warm water to which acup of kerosene has been added. Thenwash as usual and they will come outlooking like new.

Lace collars and lace doilies whichmight stretch should be , basted onwhite cloth before laundering Washcarefully in warm suds and rinse. Thenwhen nearly dry, rip from cloth andpress with warm iron.

When laundering fine lace, instead ofstarch use one lump of sugar to a quartof water.

To make lace look like new, squeezein soapy water, then in cold water andthen in milk to stiffen it. Press onwrong side with a fairly hot iron.

When stretching curtains that havefringe on the bottom, instead of ironingthe fringe, brush it with a soft whiskbroom. This gives a much better effect,as it doesn't flatten the fringe.

Curtains of soft light materials canbe easily ironed if laid on an ordinarypiece of wrapping paper. The iron willthen glide right over the material andwill not stick, pull or wrinkle. It ispossible to iron an entire curtain, re-gardless of how large it is, while it isstill damp. It also helps in keeping thecurtain fairly straight.

Before washing a chenille rug, stitchacross ends twice on the sewing ma-chine. This will prevent ravelling.

When cleaning soiled rugs-take 1gallon boiling rain water, chip 1 large

cake of Ivory soap, 1/2 package of 20Mule Team Borax, and 1/4 pint of am-monia, stir all together. When coldtake a scrub brush and apply to rug,scrubbing a few strokes, then takeclean clothes and wipe dry. Your rugwill be like new.

SEWING HINTS:Turkish towels make nice kitchen

and bathroom curtains, just sew bonerings to one end of the towels and thenhang them as drapes. You can buytowels to match any color scheme.They can be washed often and needno stitching.

When making hems on curtains,dresses or drapes, cut a piece of cardboard the exact width of the hemand about six inches long and use as aguide. Start the hem, insert the card-board and slip it along as you work.

'This insures hems of exact width andsaves time.

When overalls are worn out andready to be discarded, remove the but-tons by cutting the cloth around themin about a two inch square (orsmaller). Then when good overalls losea button, take one of these salvagedbuttons for a substitute. At the desiredlocation, force the button through fromthe wrong side to the right side andsew the patch fast on the wrong side.Few people will notice that it is aborrowed button.

To make a firm edge for eyelets,punch the holes over a cake of whitesoap.

This is a simple rule for sewing onfour -hole buttons. Fasten two holes ofthe button first and break the thread,and then sew on the other two holesseparately. The button stays on twiceas long.

If your thimble is too large for yourfinger, place a piece of adhesive tapeinside. If one piece of tape doesn'tmake it the right size, put anotherpiece over the top of the first piece,and so on, until it does fit.

Had you thought of tying a brightribbon to the handle of your scissorsso that your eye might quickly locatethem in a well filled mending basket.Try it sometime. It helps a lot.

To run a sewing machine easier, putone foot forward and one in back ofthe pedal. The motion is like walking,and gives no unnatural strain.

WIBW ROUND -UP

CROWD ATTENDS CORONATION

Twelve beautiful finalists vying for title of queen of Santa Fe Trail DiamondJubilee Rodeo as they posed with Governor Carlson. The finalists are, first row,left to right: Catherine Jo Brennon, Belvue; Delores Jean Olson, Parsons;Juanita Dougomat, Haskell Institute, Lawrence; Lois Cedarberg, Manhattan; andBonney Main, Topeka. Standing, left to right: Donna Lee Oxendale, Topeka;Betty Castor, Paola; Arlene Petroesky, Kingsdown; Governor Carlson; LucilleSaylor, Topeka; Marilyn Lockwood, Ft. Scott; Eileene Hardin, Hepler; andSuzanne Dunafon, Westmoreland.

Home Town FetesQueen

When "home town girl makes good"that's time for "home town" to hold acelebration, at least that's the code ofHepler, Kansas. When Eileene Hardin,beautiful blonde Hepler girl enteredthe contest held by the Topeka Round -Up Club to find a queen to reign overthe Santa Fe Trail Diamond JubileeRodeo, she knew the whole town ofHepler was backing her one hundredper cent. When she was selected asone of the twelve finalists, the littlesoutheastern Kansas town sat up and"took notice."

Then came the big night. Thousandsof WIBW listeners filled the TopekaAuditorium to catch a glimpse of thewinner of the contest that coveredeight states and in which over fivehundred hopefuls were entered. Andwhen each of the finalists had been in-terviewed by WIBW's Art Holbrookand Governor Carlson opened the wirefrom Eddie Dean announcing Eileen as

the winner, everyone in the audienceagreed that a wise choice had beenmade.

Down in Hepler, the merchants gottogether and planned a good old-fashioned celebration for Eile en eHardin, Queen of the Santa Fe TrailDiamond Jubilee Rodeo.

Here's a picture destined for pageone in the scrapbook of Eileene Hardin,

Queen of the Santa Fe Trail DiamondJubilee Rodeo. Governor Carlson is

shown presenting Eileen with the tele-gram from Eddie Dean which an-nounced her winning the contest.

Before thousands of WIBW fans in acrowd that filled the Topeka MunicipalAuditorium to overflowing, EileeneHardin, beautiful blonde bronc riderfrom Hepler, Kansas, was crownedqueen of Santa Fe Trail Diamond Jub-ilee Rodeo.

In an exciting moment in the broad-cast of the Kansas Round -Up from thestage, Governor Carlson opened a tele-gram from Eddie Dean announcing theselection of Eileene from a group oftwelve finalists.

During the final weeks of the con-test interest ran high. Entries fromeight states, pictures of beautiful girlsand their horses, poured into the con-test headquarters, to form ranks twoand three feet deep on the judges'desks. These entries were then senton to Hollywood where the final selec-tion was made. Up till the time of theactual opening of the telegram, no onein the Auditorium knew who had beenselected Queen.

There was much more than the ap-pearance in the Santa Fe Trail Dia-mond Jubilee Rodeo in store for theyoung lady. There was a trip to Holly-wod, all expenses paid via the SantaFe California Limited. A suite of roomsat Topeka's finest hotel at her dis-posal, plus daily beauty care at theAvalon, a limousine and driver to takeher wherever she wanted to go, a com-plete Western tailored wardrobe. Bestof all, she is promised a part in theEddie Dean picture, "Fighting Kan-sans" part of which is to be filmed atthe Rodeo.

\\ I M\ \ I' .11 I 1 191 9

Come right in! The Deans have supper ready andLorene is all sot to help Eddie dispense the hospitality.

Eddie's fan mail comes from all parts of theworld and he makes it a point to read everyone ofthe thousands of letters personally.

If Eddie isn't letter perfect on the set next morn-ing, it won't be Lorene's fault. She patiently goesover his lines until he gets them right.

On work morn]ngs Eddie must leave for the studio atfive bells, and Lorene makes sure he doesn't forget his"Shootin' Irons."

It's Eddie's latest Ma-jestic recording and Loreneawaits its playing agogwith anticipation.

Even in Sunny California it's sometimes neces-sary to put another log on the fire, and Eddie andLorene don't care if the Chamber of Commercecatches them doing it.

It's "Skipper" the Deans' toy terrier, and both Loreneund Eddie Yu y he's the most privileged member of theIiuusehold.

Fireside teamwork, is the way Lorene refers to her help in rehearsing Eddie'ssongs by playing the piano accompaniment.

memorating our gaining our independ-ence. According to Bob Hannon of"American Melody Hour" it's when alot of June bridegrooms realize they'velost theirs. ;Incidentally, this programhas switched to Wednesday nights at8:00 p.m.

You women who look on your day-to-day home duties as a drudgery andconsider yourselves "just housewives"are wrong. You are really executives-managers of your homes, according toShirley Wolff, who was one of the firstto appear as "Family Counselor" on"The Second Mrs. Burton" show.

If you've wondered, this is whatArthur of "Arthur's Place" looks like.In private life, his name is ArthurMoore and although he is an ex -vaudevillian and musician, he appearedbefore the microphone for the firsttime when this summer replacementshow hit the air June 20.

That sex -appealing vampire voiceheard every week or so on the"Blondie" show belongs to beautifuland shapely brunette Veola Vonn, wifein real life of Hanley Stafford, whoon the same show so skillfully portraysJ. C. Dithers, employer and ego-puncturer of Dagwood. Before MissVonn turned her talents to radio, shewas a dancer in motion pictures andsang with various dance bands. Veolaonce toured with the orchestra of Vin-cent Lopez, and in 1940 opened the

THE BIGGEST SHOW IN TOWN

San Francisco World's Fair with GusArnheim's band.

Despite the difficulties Mel Blancexperiences in his Fix -It Shop on hisshow Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m., he is con-sidering opening a chain of such shopsalong the Pacific Coast as the hard-ware and fix -it shop he operates inreal life has proved to be a very suc-cessful business venture.

Rosemary De Camp, who is "Dr.Christian's" capable nurse Judy Price,is the mother of two very cute children.In our opinion, her children have avery cute mother. What do you think?

Herbert Marshall, "The Man CalledX," has several hobbies. He likes tocollect original cartoons, to sketch pic-tures, and to cook. Yes, that's right-cook! He's particularly famous amonghis friends for his sauce for crabs.They say it's tops!

Eileen Farrell, who is Mrs. RobertReagan in private life, is being featuredon the Prudential "Family Hour" forthe fifth consecutive summer. CharlesFredericks, a protege of John CharlesThomas, will be the baritone star onthe summer series.

Coca-Cola, who sponsored their firstshow on CBS in 1935, will be back withus beginning next month-August 17,to be exact-each Sunday at 9:30 p.m.According to reports, it will be a veryenjoyable musical show featuring PercyFaith and his orchestra.

A lot of listeners have written in tothe "Crime Photographer" programasking if the show doesn't originatefrom a real night club. The informalrambling on the piano by HermanChittison with the added sound effectsfor background give it this real nightclub atmosphere. Although Chittisonhas never had a music lesson in hislife, he began picking out tunes on thepiano at the young age of four. He hasdeveloped this night club style byplaying in clubs throughout France,Belgium, North Africa, and New York.

The fellow who really looks thecharacter he portrays is Parker Fen-nelly. On the air, he is "LawyerTucker" Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. Thisshow is the summer replacement forthe "Dick Haymes Show," which willreturn to our schedule in September.

One of the musicians of VaughnMonroe's Orchestra lost a bet recentlyand showed up at rehearsal feelingvery disconsolate.

"I'll never bet again," he announced."If I know you," said Monroe, "you

certainly will."

"No I won't," insisted the musician."How much do you want to bet Idon't?"

TheVoic,es_NoitHear Along the RFDJt I'll 4_ gene cAiple A few months ago on a farm in a

neighboring state, the family auto-mobile was being readied for a tripinto town. Chores done, supper over,a hasty change of clothes, and dad andthe two boys and sister had gone outto the car shed. Dad remembered thatthe gas tank was nearly empty, andtold the boys to "fill her up" from thered barrel at the side of the shed. Andwhile father and sister were packingsome things in the car, the boys startedto fill the tank-and then one of themost tragic accidents happened-oneof the boys stood by with a lightedlantern while his brother poured gaso-line into their automobile from an opencan. The gasoline suddenly ignited-there was a terrific explosion, twonear -by gasoline drums also exploded,and the farmer -father, his two sonsand the 12 - year - old daughter werekilled. Tragic-yes! And the use ofa pocket flashlight instead of thelighted lantern would have preventedit. Three out of every four farmers arerisking their lives, and the lives of theirfamily as well as their investments inproperty and equipment by permittingunnecessary fire hazards around theirfarms.

Fire hazards alone are not respons-ible for all farm accidents, since farm,machinery accounts for the highestnumber of serious mishaps, followed byaccidents in handling farm animals.On the basis of information assembledby the National Safety Council, it isestimated that 52 farm residents will bekilled and 4,900 injured EVERY DAYduring 1947 unless extra precautionsare taken. It is a fact that more fatalaccidents occur in agriculture than inany other occupation. Here in Kansaslast year there were 76 fatal farm acci-dents, and 27 of them were caused byfarm machinery, and 12 were sufferedas a result of improper handling offarm animals. Eight of these deathswere caused by falls. During the past16 years from 1930 to 1946 we havesuffered 1514 deaths on Kansas farmsdue to accidents. So, is it any wonderthat we sometimes ask, "are we losingthe war against accidents?"

National Farm Safety Week will beobserved again this year July 20 to26, and this year the fact will bestressed that Farm Safety is a familyaffair. It takes the cooperation of everyindividual in the farm family to helpeliminate these costly and tragic acci-

dents. It means being more carefulat work and at home, when you driveyour car, in the field, on the tractor,or wherever you may be.

It is not the idea of Farm SafetyWeek to try an prevent farm accidentsfor one wek out of the year. The prac-tice of farm safety is a program thatshould be observed by every indi-vidual every day in the year, becausemany, and probably most of these in-juries, some so serious they requirelong and costly medical and hospitalcare, could be avoided. We still do notconsider farming as a hazardous occu-pation. But the records prove that it is.The only way we can lessen the suffer-ing, the heartaches, to say nothing ofthe economic loss as a result of farmaccidents, is for everyone to recognizethe facts, to know the hazards thatexist, and then learn what measurescan be taken to guard against thesedangers. The purpose of National FarmSafety Week is to bring this subject ofaccident prevention forcefully to theattention of the millions of people, whoare either indifferent or unaware ofthe importance of this problem. Andsince modern farming operations arebecoming more complex, and mostfarms are gradually becoming moremechanized, it presents a challenge toevery farm family to live and workmore safely.

I think we are making progress herein the Sunflower state. In 1946 fatalfarm accidents totalled 76, or 8 per centless than the previous year, and thebest record since 1939. Let's hope wecan show a much larger reduction thisyear. Most of these tragic losses can beavoided. The remedies are in mostcases quite simple and inexpensive, andif you will give the matter of safety alittle thought, most of the remedies areobvious. You know the hazards thatexist around your own place, and itonly takes a little time to work outways and means to eliminate them.Someone has said there is a safe way,and an unsafe way to do every farmjob, and the choice is yours. The mat-ter of safety is a family responsibility,it means that every member of thefamily must be ever on the alert tocurb those thoughtless acts of careless-ness. Each member of the farm familyshould cultivate an attitude of safetyconsciousness, and begin a program ofaction in eliminating obvious accident

hazards. It can be done. Many farmfamilies have excellent "no -accident"records, just because they have elimi-nated the hazards that could be cor-rected, and have learned to live safelywith those that could not be changed.

Let's make every week, farm safetyweek!

JULY, 1947

.94 clivie la cciaIt was during the war years that it

became evident to WIBW executivesthat FM radio was destined to be thebig, postwar radio news. Subsequentevents have borne out that theory andWIBW-FM as one of the pioneer FMstations of the nation and Kansas' FirstFM station has duplicated the recordof WIBW and blazed the trail in thisamazing new system of radio broad-casting.

In spite of the tremondous FM stridesover the country, we still are askeddaily, "Just what IS FM?" This is noteasy to explain in non -technical lan-guage but let's give it a whirl aroundthe high spots anyway!

In the first place, the letters FM aremerely the initials of Frequency Modu-lation. Don't let those high-soundingwords frigten you, however, for didyou know that the system of radio youhave been getting all these years iscalled Amplitude Modulation? That'sright. So let's forget about the techni-cal names and merely say that FMreception calls for an FM dial on yournew radio. A dial similar in appear-ance to the short wave dials that haveappeared on receivers for many years.The FM dial is calibrated in mega-cycles or channels, sometimes both.Now, if your new radio is equippedwith the new FM dial, and you are inthe reception range of a FM radio sta-tion, you are all ready to enjoy theexceptional advantages of FM.

With Frequency Modulation youhave practically no fading or stationinterference and virtually no static. Inadition to the elimination of the com-mon annoyances that plague standardradio, FM has a positive side. It cap-tures the thrilling overtones in voiceand music that enhance the enjoymentof radio listening. These overtones arethe fragile and beautiful qualities thatare lost in standard broadcasting trans-mission. With FM you hear almost allthe overtones of voice and sound thatare audible.

On the technical side engineers canshow you charts of cycle ranges insound and music reproduction . . . con-clusive prof of the flawless FM recep-tion. In a nutshell this means that withFM you are given a seat in a concerthall without leaving your home. Sorealistic is the sound that each instru-ment has a natural clarity. Each noteand chord express their true meaningand the overall selection has the fulll

harmony and beauty which entered themicrophone in the broadcasting studio.

WIBW-FM operates daily from 2:00p.m. to 10:15 p.m. on the frequency of102.5 megacycles, channel 273. Pro-grams are completely separate and dis-tinct from those of WIBW. For in-stance; a glance at the schedules shows"Shopper's Matinee," 2:00-3:00 p.m.daily, featuring popular music com-bined with shopping and fashion hints.During this same period on WIBW, weare presenting the long established"Kansas Round -up." In other wordsWIBW-FM has a job to do in the im-mediate Topeka vicinity which itserves, just as WIBW has performedand will continue to do a job in serv-ing the great middlewest.

WIBW-FM microphones and person-nel are familiar sights at sports eventsand special occasions in the Kansascapital. FM is rapidlyy becoming ofage and with new FM stations startingoperations each month . . . greater FMreceiver production by manufacturesand most of all, increasing interest inFrequency Modulation by you, theradio listener, FM is bound to gaintremendous popularity.

Will FM ever completely replacestandard broadcasting? Not tomorrow. . . next month or next year, if ever.Standard broadcasting provides anoveral /service to this section of thenation that it is doubtful FM couldever duplicate. FM, however, will ex-tend an added service in many locali-ties, thus becoming the perfect adjunctto Standard broadcasting.

Yes, you may be sure that a back-ward glance in the midst of theWIBW-FM march of progress, provesconclusively that FM Is Here To Stay!

Hour -Glass FigureSonny Slater tells this one on him-

self.

While shopping one day Sonny ap-proached a very nice looking younglady clerk in one of Topeka's largerdepartment stores.

"I'd like to buy a belt," he told her.Glancing at Sonny's slim waist she

directed "Dog Collars in the basement!"

Neighbor: "Did you go to the doctorthe other day?"

Man: "Yes I did."Neighbor: "And did he find out

what you had?"Man: "Very nearly."Neighbor "What do you mean very

nearly?"Man: Well, I had $10 and he charged

me $8."

No HandicapMike Clancy had been working on

New York harbor tugboats for fiftyyears when he fell overboard and wasdrowned. This brought about a veryfine wake.

A friend of the widow asked her:"Did Mike leave you well fixed?"

"Shure, an' he did that. 'Tis fiftythousand he's after leavin' me."

The friend roled her eyes heaven-ward. "Tch! Tch! Tch!" she said."Think of that. And him that couldn'tread or write."

"Yes," agreed the widow, shakingher head seriously, "nor swim." .

12 WIBW ROUND -UP

Questions\?..coswersEach month we try to include on this

page the answers to questions youfolks have been asking us about W113W,our programs, entertainers, just any-thing that might be bothering you.Questions accompanied by stamped,addressed envelopes will be answeredby mail.

Q: Is it possible to have entertainersfrom WIBW come to our town, andwhom should I contact?

A: WIBW serves a much larger ter-ritory by air than we can hope to reachon our personal appearances. We tryto limit our out-of-town engagementsto two hundred miles, since it is diffi-cult for the boys and girls to driveany farther than that and still returnto the studios in time to carry theirregular schedules the following day.If you or your organization are plan-ning an entertainment, get in touchwith Miss Maudie. Your first lettershould include information concerningmileage from your town to Topeka,length of show you desire, date youplan to hold your show, and membersof the talent staff you wish to feature.The more advance notice you give, thebetter are your chances of receivingthe talent you want on the date youprefer.

Q: We are planning a visit to To-peka. When is the best time to visitthe studios and what is the admissioncharge?

A: Let's answer the last part first.The "welcome sign" is always out hereat WIBW, in fact, it is painted on thedoor. We are always glad to see youfolks and are pleased that you re-member us when you plan your visitsto Topeka. There is no charge for anyof our studio shows. The best time tovisit the studios depends upon yourfavorite entertainers. I think a fewminutes spent with the schedule ap-pearing on pages fifteen and sixteenof your Round -Up magazine will helpyou. If you can arrange to see theDinner Hour and the Round -Up pro-grams you will be sure to see mostof the talent staff. Just one word ofwarning . . . our seating capacity isinadequate, so come early!Q: Is Dude Hank a good cook?

A: This writer has never been ex-

posed to Dude's culinary arts, but ifhe can cook like he can play the trum-pet, well, what do you think?

Q: What do the letters "WIBW"stand for?A: When Senator Capper purchased aradio station in 7tdiana twenty yearsago, the letters "WIBW" had alreadybeen assigned as call letters identify-ing that station, and they remained thesame when the station made its deputhere in Topeka in May, 1927. So yousee, the letters "WIBW" have no spec-ial meaning as far as their being initialletters for a slogan or company name.However, we who are connected withthe Capper station like to think of"WIBW" standing for the best in radioentertainment and service.

Q: I think I have heard AmbroseHaley over other stations. Is it thesame Ambrose I hear on the KansasRound -Up?

A: Yep, same old Ambrose, he says.The truth is, Ambrose has appearedon several stations here in the Mid -West, both locally and on networkshows, so if you think you've heardhim before, you're probably right.

Q: I have heard announcements startout like Donald Duck had joined yourannouncing staff. What is the reasonfor that?

A: Now I hope you didn't hear thatover W (BW. That is an error by thecontrol operator. Some announcementsare recorded, some are transcribed. Atranscribed announcement should beplayed on a turntable revolving thirty-three and one-third times a minute.When it is played at a higher speed,such as seventy-eight revolutions perminute which is the proper speed toplay a recording, that's when DonaldDuck comes in.

Q: How old is Sonny Slater?A: Sonny was born July 31, 1927.Q: Are Mis Maudie and Ole cousins?A: No. They are not related.Q: Where is Mary Ann Estes?A: She is in Marieta, Ohio. Not in

radio at present.Q: What were Esther's and Virginia

Lee's names before they were married?A: Esther's name was Gibson, Vir-

ginia Lee's name was Claudia IoleneMeherg. Virginia Lee is her radioname.

Q: Is Kenny Harries married?A: Yes.Q: Who leads the singing on the

theme on the Kansas Round -Up?A: Bobbie Dick leads Mond a y,

Wednesday and Friday, Shepherd onTuesday, Thursday and on the Satur-day night Round -Up.

Q: Why doesn't Hilton do more an-nouncing?

A: We like Hilton's announcing too,but the young man is much more valu-able in his position of Sales -Servicemanager.

Q: Where is Jimmie Dickens?A: Indianapolis, Ind.Q: How do you pronounce "Sonny"

Slater's name?A: "Urlin" is pronounced as tho it

was spelled "Er-lin."Q: Does Don Hopkins' daughter take

dancing lessons?A: Yes.Q: Is Glenn Osborn's wife a school

teacher?A: No.Q: Where are the Miccolis Sisters

from? What is their nationality?A: The Miccolis Sisters came to

WIBW from St. Louis. However theirhome is in Chicago. They are of Italian -Spanish nationality.

Q: Are the Radioaires related to eachother?

A: No.Q: Does Edmund Denney play any in-strument other than the guitar?

A: Yes, on occasion Edmund plays amighty mean set of drums!

Q: Where is Hank the Cowhand?A: I take it you mean Hank Sanford.

He is in West Virginia.Q: Is Dude Hank (Roy Carlson) a

relative to Governor Frank Carlson?A: No.Q: What is Sonny Slater's father's

first name?A: Ezra.Q: What kind of car does Bobbie

JULY, 1947 13

gainhith9What a grand feeling it is to cele-

brate our Independence this Fourth ofJuly by knowing our fireworks are toproclaim our freedom and not to reigndown suffering on others . . . in thisglorious country of ours!

It is a blessing to live where we mayspeak our minds freely and offer criti-cism at will. This holds true in regardto the letters sent me by the listenersof WIBW. You are all at liberty to"speak your mind" either in praise orin censure. We welcome your sug-gestions. Sometimes the fans writeasking me to keep their names con-fidential, and they trust me with bitsof constructive criticism about the staff.I appreciate this and endeavor toremedy the situation in just that man-ner. It is unfortunate that some per-sons through jealousy or resentmentwrite sarcastic, mean things concerningthe boys and girls they dislike. Thesepersons usually never have the courageto sign their names. This fault aloneis as bad or worse than what is beingcriticized by them. Always sign yourname . . . or forget it, don't write. Itwill be disregarded. You can tell mewhat you think in a nice manner, andI shall answer you giving an explana-tion of why we do certain things-or thanking you for a helpful sug-gestion.

Edmund Denney had a big time lastmonth when he and Myrtle attendedthe convention by the Association ofWorkers of the Blind in NebraskaCity, Neb. The convention is made upof what this Association is doing forthe blind in their town. Many of thegraduates of former years were there. . . and from some of the reminiscingthat was done Edmund had a lot offun. His old roommate Melvin Mc-Artor from Lincoln, Nebraska wasthere; also Edmund's brother Albert.These boys used to play in the band.Albert, the tuba; Melvin, the trumpetand Edmund, the trombone. On warmnights the fellows used to climb outon the fire escape and serenade thetown much to the chagrin of theschool officials who were trying tosleep. "Another time we laughedabout," said Edmund, "was the day

Melvin and I decided to go ice skatingand Melvin fell in!" He also told methat the seeing eye dogs barked loudlyevery time a speaker was applauded.This amused him to no end. What asense of humor our Edmund possesses.

Little Esther wants Doc to dig upsome of her plants which have failedto bloom. "He told me he must haveput the seeds in upside down" said she.

Gene Shipley took some pictures ofthe girls who were in the Rodeo Con-test at a dinner given in their honorat 5:30 p.m.-raced home - developedthe negative and by the time we wereeating our dessert he was back withthe finished picture ready for thenewspaper.

if your favorite entertainers seem tobe missing for a couple of weeks thissummer, it is because vacation timeis here. They will be back.

Someone asked me the other day ifII would name all of our entertainersin my column so that they might bea little more familiar with them. Herethey are in alphabetcial order:

Beth Butler, Col Combs, Roy andMaudie Carlson, Hoppi Corbin, Mau-reen Dowdy, Edmund Denney, BobbieDick, Jerome Debord, Doc and EstherEmbree, Heinie Haynes, Kenney Har-ries, Ezra Hawkins, Ambrose Haley,Jack. Holden, Fairley Holden, B. C.Kendricks, Ole Livgren, Mary andRuth Miccolis, Jim McGinnis, WayneMidkiff, Emory Martin, Ray Morse,Glen Osborn, Henry Peters, RalphRadish, Lane Shaw, Sonny Slater, ElsaSchlangen, Lee Smith, Clark andChuck Wayne, Shepherd and VirginiaWillhite.

When the officials of Republic Pic-tures in Hollywood were here to viewour stage show and broadcast of theSaturday Night Kansas Round Up theysaid they were amazed at how colorfulthe show looked from out front, andthat "we have some very good picturematerial" on our staff. Who knowsmaybe someday another of our boysor girls will become an "Eddie Dean"who at one time was just a good oldWIBW staff singer.

Our phonograph records are sellinglike mad, folks, so be sure and get

yours before the supply is exhausted.Also, be sure and let us know whichof our entertainers you would like tohave appear in your town and we shallbe happy to arrange it for you.

'Till next time, so long, friends.-MissMaudie.

RADIO DOES SOCKO JOBSOCKO COMES HOME

-By Art HolbrookGloom pervaded the atmosphere at

North Airport, Iola, Kansas. The lowceiling was caused by the mysteriousabsence of "Socko," pet monkey be-longing to Russ Yarton, airport man-ager.

Anxious eyes peered into the skies.Occasionally, a pleading voice could beheard calling for "Socko," in a far-offhangar corner. Surely "Socko" didn'ttake those flying lessons seriously. Ahurried check found all aircraft ac-counted for.

"Socko" must be found and there wasno time to lose. A quick note fromYarton was dispatched to Radio Sta-tion WIBW, Topeka, 80 miles away,requesting help in locating Iola's fav-orite member of Cebidea. Came 5:45A.M., WIBW Farm News Time, andWIBW's Elmer Curtis told the Middle-west of the wayward "Socko."

The rest is radio history. Truck -driver Dan Miller of Coffeyville, wasrolling homeward when he saw astrange sight on the road just outsideIola. There was "Socko" trying tothumb a ride! He rubbed his eyes,stopped and picked up the mischievouscharacter, and headed for home. Laterin a Coffeyville cafe an enterprisingwaitress asked Dan where he acquiredhis new friend. Then she told him ofthe broadcast she had heard overWIBW.

All is serene at the Iola airport now."Socko" is back frolicking among theprops and airlerons. Smiles of affec-tion greet his prankish tweaks. Thepurple chested capuchin is forgivenand WIBW has become even morefirmly entranched in the hearts of thecountryside.

"Socko" is home.

Next in line is our pianist, CarlBailey. Carl is the newest member ofour act; he joined us when we movedto WIBW from Birmingham. Carlgreatly appreciates the welcome theradio audience has given him, as dowe all, and we are proud of the way

he is fitting into our act. Married, onechild.

The little short fellow in the center(he's only six -three) is our baritone,Ray Morse. Good-natured Ray is thesubject of a lot of our kidding . .

usually about his big feet, which wemight add are often confused withsmall sacks of flour. Ray has beenwith me longer than any of the othersand his loyalty and conscientious na-ture equal his ability as a singer. Wife,two children.

When you hear one of our boys singa solo part in a beautiful tenor voice,that is smiling, brown -eyed Lane Shaw("Chicken" for short). Lane plays theguitar for the Radioaires and singsfirst tenor. He has been with us abouttwo years and we just couldn't get

along without him. He is married andhas one child.

That leaves one fellow in the pictureand that's me, Lee Smith. I sing bass,manage the group and usually do thetalking. Am mighty proud of my wifeand two children.

That's the Radioaires, folks. We'vealready met a lot of you folks on ourpersonal appearances and are lookingforward to meeting many more in theyears to come. For the rest of the fel-lows, I want to thank you all for theway you have made us feel at homehere at WIBW. Mail is mighty im-portant to radio entertainers and wewant you to know we appreciate theway you have been supporting ourprograms.
