As a young couple they share manyinterests. Together they assembled a high-fidelity stereophonic music system which isone of the finest we've heard. Usually thelady of the house doesn't share the hus-band's appreciation for booming woofersand ear -piercing tweeters. Also you wouldthink that after a shift over "hot turn-tables" all afternoon at the studios Jim

would seek other diversion than listeningto music at home. Jim says, "Barbara andI enjoy music so much we seldom turn onT.V. except for children's programs forTerri". Jim and Barbara are both goodshots with hand guns. When Jim served onthe police force in Tulsa he collected abeautiful Smith .357 Magnum, an H & R.22 and a Colt .25. Jim likes photography,owns a good camera and hopes to set upa darkroom. Among his newest interests isham radio operating. Here again Barbarashares an equal, if not greater interest.Both plan to get licenses. This sharing ofmutual interests will give you some insightinto this fine young family, a fine newcomplement to our KMA staff.

The KMA Guide

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "Mu-sic is the universal language of mankind."I believe this is true, for all of us likemusic. We may not all prefer exactly thesame kind, which is probably a good thing.However, we all like either popular, clas-sical, country and western, polkas, religiousor one or more of the hundreds of kinds ofmusic heard throughout the world.

If you like music, which I am sure youdo, then you surely enjoy listening to KMAfor we have wonderful music on KMA.Much of it would fall into the category ofpopular music, but we do have manyspecialized programs featuring certaintypes of music. For example, we have somefine classical programs on Sunday, countryand western music on Saturday nights, folksongs, Broadway musicals and jazz atspecified times on Saturday afternoons.These are just a few of the fine musicalprograms heard either daily or weekly onthe station. All of these are to be found inthe daily program schedule to be found ineach and every issue of the KMA GUIDE.

One of the groups that has a good timehas been referred to as the "Music Muti-lators." Part of the group is shown in thepicture on this page. Those in the pic-ture are Bob Morrison, manager of thelocal Hy-Vee store, playing the "fiddle"(Bob also does a fine job of playing theelectric guitar ), DennisBoldra, a barber, on themandolin (Dennis also playsa tenor banjo), Chuck Bunn,sales manager of KMA, onthe guitar, and yours trulyon the plectrum banjo. Wehave met about four dif-ferent times, and the numberof "musicians" present hasvaried from about four to asmany as eight. We don'tmake any claims for thequality of music, but we surehave a good time. If wepractice enough maybe wecan do a number or twosometime on KMA. As manyof ycu know, we used to havelots of live talent on KMA,but we have had very littlesince the advent of televi-sion. However, we do have

some wonderful music on KMA and, likeLongfellow said, "Music is the universallanguage of mankind."

At our house, Eddie is most anxious forwarmer weather to arrive. He wants allthe ice and snow to melt from the streetsso he can once again ride his bicycle toschool.

Annette has been busy at school di-recting a one -act play. By the time thisissue of the Guide goes to press, the playwill have been performed. She says work-ing it up, selecting the sound effects andthe many things that go into directing agroup of fellow students has been fun, edu-cational and a lot of hard work.

Karen seems to be taking school as itcomes. She is real good about doing herstudying. She seems to be happy the firstsemester is behind her and now she is head-ing down the home stretch of the eighthgrade.

I believe school is more difficult todaythan when I was a student. It seems tome the assignments are longer and hardertoday. From all indications, this is a signof the times and schools will probably con-tinue to be harder.

Personally, I am glad I don't have to goto school anymore, but we all continue tolearn through experience. We also learnthings by listening to the radio, so keepyour dial set on 960-KMA.

Morrison, Dennis Boldra, and Chuck Bunnget together just for "kicks" . . . sound real good.

Frank CommentsBy FRANK FIELD

The picture this month was taken onthe afternoon of January 25, right afterthree successive days with temperaturesup into the 40's. You are looking eastacross the south side of our yard and thesnow drift running across the center ofthe picture was still about 5 ft. high theday this picture was taken . . . even afterthree days of warm weather, so you caneasily imagine the size of this drift rightafter the big blizzard three days beforeChristmas. It was actually about 10 feetdeep with the top of it about even withthe lower edge of the window you see onthe left side of the picture. At the otherend, the drift was just up into the lowerlimbs of that Pin Oak tree.

Our vegetable garden is just down overthe hill at the right of the Pin Oak andit still has a blanket of snow over a footdeep with a big drift across the center,now down to about 3 feet deep from anestimated six or eight feet before theJanuary thaw set in.

The surprising thing is that the groundis not frozen under this snow and in spotswhere the snow has melted away enoughto expose the lawn, the grass is about asgreen now as it was in mid -summer. All ofwhich means there isn't very much danger

of a serious drouth this summer since allthis moisture will soak in as it melts andwill not run off and be lost as would be thecase if the ground were frozen solidlyunderneath. In other words, we will haveenough sub -soil moisture to make a goodcrop of just about everything this comingsummer, even if rainfall is much belownormal.

After taking a long, hard look at ourdwindling supplies of canned and frozenvegetables in the basement, Jennie and Ihave decided that this coming year, wewill have to about double our tomatoacreage and at least double the sourceof supply for the pickled beets Which aredown now to less than a dozen pint jars.Everything else is going to come out abouteven. The peas will be strictly DwarfEarly Giant (the old Giant Progress). Thebeets will be Ruby Queen and Baby Can-ning; the beans mostly Contender with afew Top Crop; the potatoes all Kennebecand the tomatoes mostly Surprise and TomBoy with a few plants of Roma. The TomBoy Tomato has not yet been introducedas we didn't have enough seed for thisyear-we'll tell you more about it thissummer and fall. The tomatoes will beplanted three feet apart in rows three feetapart and each one will be trained up toa stake six feet high. I staked part pfthem last year and the results were somuch better that this year they will all bestaked-even the Romas.

The garden was fall plowed and allowedto lay rough through the winter. Before

Each taped speech was identifiedby number only. Our sincere congratula-tions to Julie and particular thanks to eachstudent who entered the contest. All ofthe contestants had excellent scripts, thebest to date, requiring several reruns forthe judges to finally select one on hairlinemerits. The subject this year was "WhatFreedom Means To Me." The Veterans ofForeign Wars sponsors this annual "Voiceof Democracy" speech contest on a nation-wide basis. State winners are taken on anall -expense tour of the nation's capitol.

/ PARTY LINEBy DORIS MURPHY

Newscaster Ralph Childs was fortunatein two ways on January 16th, the day hisRecord Shop and adjoining Page Theaterin Shenandoah, were practically destroyedby fire. He was fortunate in that elevenyoung men, realizing the seriousness ofthe fire, quickly carried out the stock, tak-ing it to nearby stores for safety. He wasalso fortunate in that he had just invoicedthat day, which aided in the settlement ofthe insurance. Around three thousand al-bums and one thousand 45's were in thestore, at the time the fire broke out inthe projection room of the theater. Theflames quickly spread throughout the entirebuilding. After gathering up his recordsfrom many different places, Ralph and hiswife, Muriel, reopened their shop next tothe Safeway store in Shenandoah, within afew days. Ralph was deeply grateful to theyoung men who came to his aid that night.Jim Ross, one of KMA's newest announcers,happened to be among those who bravedthe extreme cold weather, and helped Ralphsave his stock.

Muriel and Ralph Childs working longhours to renovate new music shop.

Although newscaster Ralph Childs andwife, Muriel, were able to reopen theirrecord shop within a few days after theirfire, they still have many things to do.New fixtures have been ordered and theyplan to expand their shop. Here they arestanding behind a record rack they hadjust filled with the latest records, includingthe teenager favorite: "Doin' The Twist"recorded by the stars from the PeppermintLounge in New York where the twistdance originated.

Red spots on the hand and arm of Mrs.Farrell Turnbull, KMA's Traffic manager,are reminders of the burns she received re-cently when hot grease popped out of theskillet while she was frying steak. Theaccident was caused when she accidentallydropped her fork in the hot fat.

Eddie May, Jr. was quite impressed whenhe saw his daddy and his uncle J. D.Rankin, Jr. on KMTV the night of theAwards Dinner honoring the outstandingcitizen of Omaha during the past year.Upon arrival home little Eddie said: "Isaw you on television last night, Dad. Areyou President of the May Seed Company?""Yes", replied his dad. To this, Eddiereplied: "I thought that was what theysaid. And is Uncle J. D. Vice President?"Upon receiving another affirmative answerlittle Eddie said: "Well, we had a Presidentand Vice President of our club one time,until somebody came along and took theclub away."

Visions of a nice warm home awaitingher, went thru the mind of Joyce Dober-necker of the KMA Continuity department,as she drove home from the office throughthe terrible snow storm at dusk on theFriday preceding Christmas. The wind wasblowing 50 miles an hour and the air wasfilled with frozen pellets of ice and snow.Opening the front door, Joyce and hermother who had been downtown shoppingall afternoon, realized something waswrong. Quickly they investigated, to findthe wind had blown the back door open andsnow had blown all over the kitchen floor.The temperature in the house was downto 43 degrees. What a cold reception! Theysoon had the door shut and the thermostaton the furnace turned up, but it took quitea long time to get the house cozy andwarm, because of the blizzard outside. Betnext time the back door will be lockedwhen it's stormy!

I wouldn't be too amazed to see Carole,daughter of Chief Engineer Don Burrichter,sprouting wings any day now. She canmake sounds like birds that sound betterthan many birds I've heard. Carole is aJunior in High School, and her Freshmansister Connie is now a Cheer Leader forthe reserve basketball team. Their brotherEd who is studying pharmacy at the Uni-versity of Kansas was home for a few daysvacation at the end of the first semester.

Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Rankin, Jr., enjoyeda winter vacation in Mexico City and Acu-pulco, Mexico the early part of this month.

Visiting with the KMA engineers hadgiven GUIDE EDITOR DUANE MODROWthe fever to get into ham radio. NormKling had been helping Duane a lot, untilhe had become exceedingly interested. Sud-denly, he got a chance to buy a completeham rig from a local operator. NOW . . .

DUANE sits with a big beautiful ham rig,and he can't operate it, because he doesn'thave his license. But you can bet Duanewill be going to Kansas City as soon aspossible to take his test. Even after hepasses his test, it will be several weeksbefore he can get his license, so he isgoing to have some anxious moments ahead,waiting to get on the air. But what funDuane is going to have eventually visitingwith ham operators all over the world!

Playing a guitar is a lot of fun forKMA'e Sales Manager Charles Bunn, butit isn't so much fun later when big blistersappear on his fingers. That's what happenedrecently when he got out his guitar andjoined a group that played at the OldTimers dance given by the PAIRS &SQUARES CLUB. Edward May played theplectrum banjo, Dennis Boldra played atenor banjo, Robert Morrison the fiddle,and Chuck the guitar, with Mrs. PatsyZuck on piano. They were an instant hitand played for several dances. Everyonehad fun . . . but oh, my, those sore fingersafterwards!

The HAND HOSPITAL thought they hadlost a patient one day when the nursewalked into the room of Elmer Lightfoot,father of KMA ANNOUNCER JIM ROSS,and found he was not there. But a quicksearch located him in the room next door,visiting with his uncle Mac Lightfoot whowas also a patient in the hospital. As longas they had to be in the hospital, it wasgood they could be next door to eachother, so they could have an occasionalchat together. Besides visiting his rel-atives in the hospital, Jim's spare timehas been spent refinishing furniture re-cently. An old radio and stereo system Jimbuilt, was given a fresh stain job.

A Japanese motif will be carried out inthe birthday party of Holly, daughter ofMr. and Mrs. Warren Nielson, who willbe eight years old February 20th. Eightlittle girls will enjoy a Japanese tea party

honoring the event. Next month we willshow you a picture of Holly in her Japa-nese robe and sandals, entertaining herguests.

Life is never monotonous on the farm.There's always something happening, likewhen a fine baby heifer was born at noonon January 17th at the Byron Falk farmright when the temperature in the barnregistered zero. Had the Falks been awayfrom home at the time of the calf's arrival,in all probability, it would have frozen todeath. However, Byron checked to see ifeverything was all right with "Princess"before he left for town. He never made thetrip, because very shortly "Princess" gavebirth to a fine big 861/2 pound baby heifer.Immediately, the new calf took up herabode in the glassed back porch "of theFalk farm home where it was around 40degrees. To take the calf back and forthto her mother in the barn, Byron put thelawn cart into use, and the family wentalong to hold the ears and tail of the calf,so they would not freeze. About a weeklater the new arrival was strong enough tojoin her mother in the barn, and starteating from a bucket by herself. The 4-HClub member of the family, Bruce, was de-lighted with the new heifer, as the calf'smother "Princess" is Bruce's 4-'H project.

A Letter From Bernice CurrierDear Homemakers and Friends:

I am sitting in my kitchen by the eastwindow where I can look out over MerleDouglas' back yard and see nothing buta wide expanse of snow, snow, and moresnow. There are drifts out here that are3 and 4 ft. high. And it is snowing so hardright now that visibility is Zero. It's a goodday to write letters and I moved out hereso I could also take care of the FruityBuns I am making. The recipe is on theopposite page. Hope you will try them.When they come out of the oven all goldenbrown, I will have a cup of coffee and agenerous sample of the buns while theyare hot and the butter melts right downinto them. (There will probably be a spotof butter on this copy when I send it downto Duane Modrow, our GUIDE editor).

Since I wrote to you last there has beenThanksgiving, cleaning house, having win-dows washed, draperies at the cleaners,polishing silver, cleaning the china cabinet,rush to get the Christmas recipes and di-rections for making nylon trees andwreaths, etc., and the bells made of cantops and bottoms, all mimeographed andsent out to you friends.

Then the real rush began of shoppingfor gifts for the 25 family and friends onmy list. Everyone was in a real dither doingthe same thing and wasn't it fun?

One store here got the cards mixed onthe packages I sent to Pat in Houston,Texas and to Karen in Cairo, Illinois. Theyare about the same age and I had gottenhalf-slips for each. Pat is a brunette sohers was a medley of autumn coloring.Karen is blond and hers was a rainbow ofpastel shades. The girls didn't say a wordabout it when they wrote thanking me forthem, but when Red was here a week orso ago he told me but he said they werefine and the girls were very happy aboutthe whole thing.

Red came unexpectedly one morningshortly after I was off the air at 9:00. Heand Blaine Baker, Production Manager atKFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Missouri,were in Omaha on business and Blaine hadto go on to Des Moines so he dropped Redoff here and went on. Then picked him upagain on his return. So we had a couple ofhours visit, coffee and turkey sandwiches.

A blizzard and high wind hit us comingfrom Missouri and Kansas, shortly afterRed and Blaine left here but they gotback to Cape Girardeau safely by 2:30 or3:00, leaving here around noon.

I enjoyed having Elizabeth, my sister,here for Christmas. She is a perfect guest.but she isn't a guest when she comes here.

She is as much at home in this house as Iam. She washes the dishes, does all thedusting, and visits with my Homemakersvia radio. She has such a variety of inter-ests that it keeps me hopping to learnabout all of her activities. While she wasin Boston in November visiting her daugh-ter Ruth, and family, at Needham, Mas-sachusetts, she had my Christmas presentsent from there. It is a perfectly beautifulItalian Coffee Pot. Made in Italy, it is anoff-white pottery with a gorgeous floraldesign and a very ornate handle. We wereonly outside the house once while she washere. Just one blizzard after another keptus from even having any company.

I had such a good letter from my son,Ed, San Rafael, California. With his senseof humor, his down-to-earthness, and hisgift of saying the right thing at the righttime, he really should have been a writer.They have three girls and the two olderones each broke an arm within a week ofeach other and the youngest one had a cor-rective operation on one eye and now hasglasses. So their mother, Patti has hadquite a hospital to run. Besides beingmother, wife, homemaker, housekeeper,cook and dish washer, nurse, doctor, chauf-fer, and entertainer. Poor Patti!! But sheis equal to it. She is very capable andunderstanding.

A letter from Helen, Houston, Texas,tells of the activities of her family of fivechildren. Pat, the oldest girl was homefrom Vanderbilt University for Christmas.It was the first time she had been homesince she left in September and I canimagine how thrilled everyone was to seeher. A note from David told about the newJunior High School being built near themand now he can ride his bicycle instead oftaking a bus. He will like that. Alan isgrowing so fast. He bought an art set withthe money I sent him for Christmas.

Johnny is a young man of 16 years now,and Kathie a sweet little girl of 6 years.Margaret and Al, my New York family,sent me a lovely scarf or stole from Bloom-ingdale's in London. It is made of finemohair thread woven in a lacy design withscalloped edge. The color is a luscious roseand I love it. I wore it over my head andaround my neck when I went to the BeautyParlor the other day and the women in theshop were ecstatic about it so I was veryproud. My time and space are both runningshort so maybe I better save the rest totalk about tomorrow morning at 8:30 onthe air.

Until then-Bless Your Hearts, Goodbye.

PARTY LINEContinued from Page 9

Jack Gowing, KMA Farm Service Di-rector, was one of a group of U.S. radiofarm directors who attended a two-dayconference at the Cyanamid AgriculturalCenter in Princeton, New Jersey the week-end of January 20th. The broadcasterstoured the new Cyanamid AgriculturalCenter facilities where research on live-stock is being conducted. After the tour,there were conference sessions on the useof antibiotics in livestock feed, and in usingveterinary biologicals and pharmaceuticalsin maintaining healthy animals.

Winning 10,000 5 & H Green Stamps wasquite a thrill for Florence, wife of Pro-duction Mgr. Warren Nielson of KMA, ina contest she entered recently. Florence'scontest letter on "My Favorite Checker"sponsored by HY VEE, won first place.She also was second place winner in aslogan contest sponsored recently by theCity of Shenandoah.

During winter months a number of oc-casions arise when school children reflecteither happiness or gloom, and school su-perintendents are a little frustrated becauseschools must be closed because of theweather. Early morning finds school super-intendents with an ear to the weather fore-casters and one hand on the phone awaitingthe last crucial moment they may make adecision and still get it announced overKMA in time to reach their students. Oncethe decision is made they call KMA witha code identification for their particularschool. KMA has ninety such coded schools.If the code doesn't check, the superintend-ent or principal is called back immediatelyto confirm the announcement. Occasional-ly a wag attempts to close a school un-necessarily by phoning in an unauthorizedclosing announcement. The new code sys-tem is completely discouraging to suchpranksters. KMA has come to be the con-trol center of closing announcements (andreopenings too) over a wide area. The codesystem helps speed up the phone answer-ing and announcing system while alsoeliminating any need for duplication ofcalls.

At this writing the world is still awaitingthe day when Col. John H. Glenn, Jr. willbe launched into space as our first astro-naut to orbit the earth. There is the pos-sibility that he may make his historicalflight before your Guide reaches you. Inany event let us hope it is successful.Meanwhile K M A tentatively plans tocancel all regularly scheduled program-ming to bring you every detail of and aboutthis "Man In Orbit" until Col. Glenn's safereturn is assured. KMA will hook up withthe tremendous ABC Network news teamat Cape Canaveral. In addition to full cover -

February, 1962

age of every exciting detail from the Cape,KMA will be joined with 24 remote pickuppoints around the world. ABC will havesupplemental material in some 50 pre-re-corded pieces of background material soour KMA audience will have the full storyalong with full coverage of Col. Glenn'sflight in space.

FRANK COMMENTSContinued from Page 4

it is raked down in the spring, I will puton a fairly heavy application of regularMaytone Fertilizer, even though the groundis already fairly rich. My past experiencehas been that every dollar spent for ferti-lizer in the garden, brings about ten dollarsin extra yield, to say nothing of betterquality.

We plan on putting the tomatoes intothe garden about May 1 and covering eachone with a Hot Kap to protect them fromany possiblility of a late frost such as wehad last year and which, incidentally, camewhile our fruit trees were in full bloom sowe had practically no fruit at all except forsome Dwarf Polly Peaches which weretrained up against the side of the housewhere they escaped the frost.

Now take another look at that pictureand figure out if you can, how we can pos-sibly be making gardens in another eightweeks and picking ripe tomatoes in anothersixteen. Do you want to bet?

Are the markings on your measuring ruledimmed by time and use? You can restoretheir readability if you just dip a piece ofcloth in light-colored paint and wipe thescale with it. The punched -in marks andnumbers pick up paint but the rest of therule does not.

* * *

When you finish a roller paint job,you'll be able to salvage more paint off theroller if you scrape the curved surface withthe hook section of a wire coat hanger.This handy method saves paint and makesshorter work of the final cleaning of thepaint roller.

* * *

Cellophane tape is great for hangingjunior's artistic endeavors on the wall, butsometimes it takes wallpaper along whenyou remove it. Pass a warm iron over thetape, lift tape carefully as you back ironaway. Tape comes off easily . . . paperstays on.

* * *Does your wooden clothes closet pole

sag with heavy coats ? Take it down andreplace it with a similar length of iron pipeof the same diameter. Not only will thesag disappear, but you'll find that thehangers slide easier on the slick metalsurface.
