A Chat With Edward MayMeet the Shenandoah Womens Bowling

Champions, the KMA team in the CityLeague. The girls shown in the picture areDorothy Hardman, Phyllis Scott, EvalynSaner, Farrell Turnbull and Helen Jensen.These girls try to make a habit of beingchampions and they are excellent repre-sentatives of KMA because they have wonmore than their share of city and leaguechampionships in Shenandoah. Another ofthe KMA girls, Gayle Maher, who didn'tbowl on the KMA team this year, won theCity Singles Championship. So, you cansee the KMA girls are extremely versatileand do a good job in whatever they under-take to perform.

Old Man Winter really moved in duringJanuary and brought us some extremelycold weather. However, we expect it dur-ing January and I agree with the personwho said, "It's best to have winter weatheron schedule rather than having it later on."We don't know what the next few monthsare going to be like but, according to a fewself-styled weather prophets in Shenan-doah, February should be on the mild sidefollowed by a mild March, an excellent pos-sibility of an early spring. Our main con-cern is for good spring rains and I person-ally believe we will have more rains thisspring than we have had during the pasttwo or three spring seasons.

Perhaps as much concern to most farm-ers in the area as the moisture situation isthe government farm program. Most farm-ers will admit they are rather confusedabout the corn acreage allotments andwould like to know whataction, if any, Congressmight take in regard to in-creasing the corn acreage al-lotments. I don't know whatyou and I as individuals cando but I believe it would bea good idea for you to writeyour congressman and lethim know how you feelabout the government pro-gram. He is your voice inCongress and a letter fromyou would best let him knowhow you feel about the pro-gram. If every farmer wereto write his congressmanthere would be no question inthe minds of the membersof Congress what type offarm program the farmerswould like to have.

In this part of the countrythe Great Corn Belt of theUnited States, we are allvery close to the farm and

the farmers' reactions. Often times I haveused a quotation of Daniel Webster's re-garding farmers and civilization. Forthought on the subject here is that quota-tion:

FARMERS - CIVILIZATION"Let us never forget that the cultivation

of the earth is the most important labor ofman. Man may be civilized in some degreewithout great progress in manufacturingand with little commerce with his distantneighbors. But without the cultivation ofthe earth, he is, in all countries a savage.Until he gives up the chase, and fixes him-self in some place, and seeks a living fromthe earth, he is a roaming barbarian. Whentillage begins other arts follow. The farm-ers, therefore, are the founders of civili-zation."

-Daniel Webster

UPS AND DOWNS

Here at KMA we find that when youroutgo exceeds your income, your upkeep isyour downfall.

How often, right under our noses, thereare opportunities for understanding, forguidance, for kindness, and generosity.Many of these opportunities slip by becausewe not only do not understand the languageof the person in need, but we do not evenmake an effort to translate it.

Champions again. Left to right are Helen Jensen, FarrellTurnbull, Evalyn Saner, Phyllis Scott, and Dorothy Hard-man.

The big old red rooster on the Falk farmwho crowed his way into the hearts of youKMA listeners, is dead. Remember this pic-ture of him with the "FARMER'S WIFE"that appeared in the February issue of theGuide in 1954 ? FLORENCE received manyletters from you listeners, telling how muchyou enjoyed hearing him crow outside heropen window in the summertime. He was aNew Hampshire Red and was 6 years old.The cause of his death is not definitelyknown, but I guess the cold weather wasjust a little too severe for a fellow his age.Although the two oldest roosters in theflock have died, the Falks have two re-placements 3 years old, and we hope thisyounger generation will fill the boots oftheir predecessors, and crow just as lustily.In the spring when the windows are openagain at the FALK farm home, the roost-ers will be back on the job wandering a-round the barn yard, and you'll hear themcrowing over the KMA microphone onFLORENCE'S broadcasting desk just in-side the dining room window. No matterwhere you live you'll welcome that friendlygreeting from the farm into your home.

Quite a contrast in weather was exper-ienced, when MERRILL LANGFITT flewin the Wayne Stevens plane to Denver to

The famous red rooster is no more, but a new replacementis being groomed at the Falk farm.

attend the National Western Stock Show,January 10th. It was around 6 below zerothe day they left Shenandoah, and fourhours later when they landed in Denver, thetemperature stood around 60° and the sunwas shining. However, they saw lots ofsnow in the mountains. This is the eleven-th year MERRILL has covered this out-standing stock show. There were lots of4-H exhibitors at the show and MERRILLinterviewed six of them. Iowa exhibitorsseemed to capture the lions share of thehonors this year.

Don't know if they thought it was "JuneIn January" or if they were just stagingtheir first annual "Pneumonia Handicap",but a group of eight ardent golfers bravedthe near zero weather January 13th andplayed three holes of golf in the snow withred tennis balls. Among them was ourhardy KMA announcer, MERL DOUGLAS.The fellows used only five -irons and coffeecans served as cups for the balls. It didn'ttake them long to find out, however, thatthe tennis balls didn't go far, and were hardto find in the deep snow. At least, thegolfers kept "cool" on the course, and nowhave the distinction of having played golfin the snow in Iowa in January!

It was a one in a millionchance but it happened theother day on WARRENNIELSON'S Party Line pro-gram. Mrs. CL IF FORDMARTINDALE of Atlantic,Iowa and Mrs. ALBERTCORGAN of Council Bluffs,both sent in Party Loonieswith the identical answer.Just in case you don't knowwhat a Party Loonie is. .

its' a riddle whose answer isalways two words that rhy-me. Mrs. Martindale's riddlewas: "What do you call alady with a sprained ankle ?"Mrs. Corgan's was: "Whatdo you call a lady on crutch-es?" The answer to both is:"A lame dame." Warr enloves getting your riddlesand uses one every day onhis show. He'll be lookingfor YOUR riddle soon.

The KMA Guide

"I never had such a pleasant surprise inmy life!" exclaimed Mrs. Don Burrichter,wife of KMA's engineering supervisor, asshe told about the wonderful shower ofGet -Well and Birthday cards she receivedwhile in the hospital last month. Theshower was planned by St. Mary's ReginaGuild. Bundles of mail poured in. . .nearly170 cards and letters and the well wishesof her many friends certainly helped Mrs.Burrichter get well after her operation. Itwas ESTHER'S third trip to the hospitalthis winter. After her first illness she re-turned home to be with the family onChristmas Day, then took ill and went backfor further diagnosis. On New Years DayMrs. BURRICHTER underwent surgery,performed by an Omaha specialist assistedby her local doctor. She is back home now,feeling stronger every day, and gratefulfor her many fine friends and theirthoughtful deeds during her illness.

What a wonderful way to watch thegrowth of their two children! Disc JockeyMIKE HEUER is taking movies of thefamily every Christmas, with the camerahe won in an RCA contest two years ago.Eventually he hopes to put the picture to-gether in sequence with titles, it will makea perfect record of the family's Christmas-ses, and the growth of the kiddies eachyear. Three year old JEFFREY, especially,gets a big kick out of seeing himself onthe movie screen. Both JEFFREY andTOMMY are enjoying the big table madeby their daddy for the farm set they re-ceived for Christmas. The table is set upin the basement and on it, are glued thefarm buildings, fencing and trees so theywon't get lost or broken. The animals,people and other figures are loose so thechildren can move them around to suitthemselves.

The 45 seconds of music you heard rightin the middle of a 10 o'clock newscast oneFriday night, wasn't scheduled! You prob-ably wondered if that was some "new typeof programming". Well, it wasn't. . .it justgot thrown in because of a little confu-sion. It seems that newscaster DEANNAVEN had a little cold and while on theair his nose started running. He motion-ed to announcer JOHN SPRINGER to cutthe microphone so he could blow his nose. .but JOHN was busy taking a ball score onthe phone and didn't see him. Finally aftera punch by his wife sitting nearby, JOHNcaught the signal. But his mind was onFAST BREAK featuring ball scores fromall over the territory, so he quickly said:"FAST BREAK WILL CONTINUE in justa minute," and started a record to spinning.Well. . .it was a Fast Break DEAN wanted. . .but it was a newscast he was giving,and not the right time for a musical inter-lude. Those are the kind of things thathappen some times when a studio is hum-ming with activity. RALPH CHILDS was

February, 1957

in the newsroom getting sports materialtogether for the Fast Break show to fol-low. . .DEAN was in Studio B giving thenews and JOHN was operating both thecontrols and taking down ball scores overlong distance. Is it any wonder funnythings happen some time ?

Even though FLORENCE FALK, the"Farmer's Wife" is a mighty busy home-maker, mother and broadcaster, she foundtime this winter to read 25 books for thereading project sponsored by the FederatedClubs of Iowa. It's her pastime when thesnow is on the ground. Come spring. . .

and the baby chicks arrive and spring gar-dening starts, FLORENCE doesn't havemuch time to spend with books. Outdoorwork added to her housekeeping duties,keeps her mighty busy.

Recognize this fellow all bundled up ?It's RALPH CHILDS who brings you thosecomplete weather reports on KMA everyafternoon at 1:55, 2:55, 3:55 and 4:55. Andlet me tell you, RALPH has to brave allkinds of weather to bring you this completeservice. It was 14 below the day this pic-ture was taken, and he was reading theU. S. Weather Bureau equipment locatedin the garden beside the seedhouse. At 2:55he broadcasts the Krick Forecast. No mat-ter if the weather is below zero or if it'ssweltering hot at 100°, RALPH wil be onthe job giving you the latest report.

Last month on this page I showed you apicture of one of the two storage cabinetswhich Jennie and I built during the earlypart of the winter in the utility room in thebasement. I don't think it is necessary toshow you a picture of the other storagecabinet because it is exactly like the firstone except that it is in the opposite cornerof the room. I thought maybe you wouldlike to see part of my workshop.

The picture this month shows the westside of the garage which is attached to theeast side of the house. In other words, thekitchen is just on the other side of thatwall you see. The garage itself is 16 feetwide and 24 feet long and since the car isonly 6 to 7 feet wide that means that thereis plenty of room for a workshop down oneside of the garage.

The work bench itself is 10 feet long and30 inches wide but the top is made of 2inch planks 12 feet long, so they stick outa foot beyond the work bench at each end.You will notice that there are 3 doors in thefront of the bottom part with one shelf in-side which is about 10 inches from thefloor. Then there are 2 drawers for smalltools which are not used often enough tojustify a place on the peg board above thebench.

There is a big vise at the left end of thebench and a little vise at the right end witha mitre saw and electric grinder near thecenter. The press drill is at the extremeright and next to it is sort of a cabinet inwhich I keep all of the drills and bits in

various sizes. The electric drill itself ishanging from the peg board just to the leftof the drill bit cabinet.

That funny looking thing under the righthand end of the work bench is our bar-becue grill which we put out on the patioduring the summertime, but in cold orstormy weather we use it in the garage.Those empty coffee cans at the left end ofthe workbench contain various sizes ofbolts and nuts and the glass jars on theupper shelf contain various sizes of screwsand small nails. The big shelf at the topneeds cleaning off pretty badly. Jenniesays it is just a "junk catcher" anyway forthings I'm too lazy to put away in theirproper places.

But enough about the workshop, let'stalk about something else. Zo has beenbothered with asthma quite a bit this win-ter and early in December she and Jenniewent down to Biloxi, Mississippi, and Zowent through the asthma clinic there. Shegot some relief but it soon wore off, soearly in January, Zo and Bob pulled out forArizona to see if a warm dry climate wouldhelp her any. Wouldn't you know that bythe time they got there it wasn't a dryclimate anymore. The second week in Jan-uary, Arizona received more rain by far,than they had received in the preceding tenmonths. We talked to them on the tele-phone one night recently and their planswere a little uncertain. They had spent afew days in Phoenix and a few days inTuscon but so far hadn't discovered thedry climate they were looking for. Every-where they went was nice and balmy, infact, real shirt -sleeve weather but withvery high humidity, which isn't too goodfor asthma. It has stopped raining outthere now however, and will probably dryout very quickly.

How do you like my new1:30 radio program whichstarted January 14th? Itseems to be catching on inpretty good shape. If thelisteners really like it, it willbe made a permanent feat-ture or at least until KMAs tar t s carrying the ballgames, this summer. Itgives me an opportunity touse a lot of the letters thatI can't find time for on the7:15 program. What is yourpet peeve?PS: Just talked to Zo lastnight, and she is going tostay in Phoenix for a fewweeks, and Bob is comingback to Shenandoah in afew days.

KMA

Farm Service Director

The KMA farm department is busy asthe new year gets under way. The firstmajor event was the National WesternLivestock Show at Denver. This was the12th consecutive year I have covered thisshow. Its the most colorful of all theshows. Its colorful because the people whoexhibit and attend are colorful. The westernfolks dressed in their broad -brimmed hats,western tailored clothes and boots, predom-inate both as exhibitors and visitors. Inspite of that, however, an Iowa fed steerhas captured the grand championship forthe last two years. The Denver show iscolorful because of its location. The visitorneeds only glance to the West to see thebeautiful towering Rockies reaching to-ward the sky with their snow caps and ablue haze properly blended into the sceneto make it all a sight to behold. The Den-ver show is colorful also because there aremany horses there, a big rodeo and sun-shine. It seems the sun never fails to shineduring the stock show. It was 60° in Den-ver while it was zero here, quite a contrastand a pleasant one, too. One always comesin contact with the winter sportsman atthe rail and air terminal this time of theyear. They travel from all over the coun-try, converging on the winter playlands ofthe Rockies to ski. One year I rode theski lift up on Berthond Pass. That is quitea thrill, I can assure you.

This year I saw Hippo, the world's larg-est steer. He is a big rangy fellow, weighs3300 pounds and probably as tough asleather. I doubt if he would even makegood stew. These shows are an importantpart of agricultural America. Flying bothways shortens the journey a great deal.With the small private airplane, its inter-esting to note how the world is shrinking.With the plane which we can base at ourShenandoah Airport we are only 3 hoursfrom Denver, 2% hours from Chicago, 2hours from Minneapolis and 6 hours from

Washington, D. C. I could ramble on, butI want Jack to tell you about his cover-age of the President's Drouth Tour, socome in Jack.

(By JACK CAWING)The president toured the worst parts of

the drought area. He saw areas that havehad below normal rainfall for as long as5 to 7 years. Cattle herds have been dis-posed of and homes sold. In many areas itis much worse than the "Dust Bowl" of thethirties.

I saw President Eisenhower at Wichita,Kansas where he made his final stop ofthe tour. At that meeting he stressed localresponsibility and control and opposed fed-eral control of any drought program.

The President said that even though theshort range or immediate problems arecausing the hardships, we must not losesight of the long range program. By that,I think, he meant getting much of the areaout from under the plow and back intopermanent vegetative cover.

He emphasized more participation offarmers in soil and water conservation pro-grams. He was very much impressed whena suggestion was offered for a stepped upprogram of watershed protection with thewatershed communities assuming leader-ship, supported by appropriate state andfederal government action.

The President pointed out that we needmore research as to our underground waterresources. Not a short and quick researchprogram but a long and complete one thatwill benefit both agriculture and industry.

I believe the President will do a greatdeal more toward water conservation sincehis tour, although he has been favorabletowards more and more conservation.

I would say his tour was a success fromthe standpoint that we will see an accele-rated water study and conservation plan.

A Letter From Bernice CurrierDear Friends:

Since writing to you before, I have spenta delightful Christmas with Red, Janet,Karen and Lynn Rae. It was a quick trippacked with pleasant things to do and goodfriends to meet. We tried to find a time toget a picture of all of us, but there neverwas a time when we were all dressed atthe same time. Finally a good friend ofours brought his camera over on Christ-mas afternoon and said "now we'll take thepicture". Karen and I flew into the bed-room and fixed up a little and Red said itwould take him the rest of the day to bepresentable; Janet was busy with the din-ner with her hair pinned up and Lynn wasat the neighbors. That's why there are twoin this picture instead of five. Then in theother one Karen had just set the table andthe centerpiece was so pretty I wanted apicture of that with Karen standing besideit. The little house is the one I told youabout when I got back. It is made of card-board covered with white icing sprinkledwith silver glitter. The walls were decorat-ed with peanut halves to look like stone.Santa Claus is standing back of the chim-ney just ready to take his pack down tothe fireplace. The house is resting on ahuge snowbank made of styrofoam withevergreen trees at each corner.

The collar Karen has on was a Christmasgift from Ed and Patti and she was delight -

ed with it. The skirt is white felt. Karen'shair is golden blond. She has worn itshoulder length until just recently, but Ilove it the shorter length.

These pictures were taken in the familyroom. It is panelled with redwood. Thefireplace is just visible where I am stand-ing, done in Roman brick with the door tothe log cabinet back of me. It opens intothe garage so can be filled from there. Theplanter right back of us is beautiful. I hadnever seen the split -leaf Philodendron be-fore. You can see how large the leaves areand they are a gorgeous waxy green. Janetsaid she is going to take out the smallervine stuff in the box because it is spread-ing too much. The door back of Karen goesto the garage.

The end of the family room where Karenis standing by the table is papered with thecolor scheme of charcoal, chartreuse andpink being carried out. The wall lights arecharcoal and Janet had them decorated allaround the room with clusters of threelarge Christmas balls tide with wide ribbon.

Karen's slippers are interesting. She hasseveral sets of rosettes of different colorsthat she can snap on and off to match dif-ferent dresses.

Since coming back home I have been try-ing new recipes, catching up with my mailand cleaning house some. I am baking oat-meal bread this afternoon and when thatis out of the oven I will make some CrumbMacaroons and probably put that recipe onthe next page.

Helen writes that she is busy with herfive -ring merry-go-round. Busy and happy.Ed and Pat write that they are moving totheir newly built home in Silver Spring,Maryland about the middle of Januarywhich is soon now.

There is no surer test of a man's naturethan the spirit in which he receives criti-cism. One whose interest in his work ispersonal and lies rather in a pride in hisway of doing it than in the supreme ex-cellence of the thing done, resents criticismas an attack on himself. On the other hand,one whose chief interest is in the work andnot in himself welcomes criticism becauseit may help him to secure a higher degreeof efficiency.

KMA PARTY LINE

Continued from Page 5What fun the EDWARD MAY family

will have in years to come, listening to theconversation of the three children, whichwas secretly tape recorded Christmasmorning, while the family was openingtheir Christmas presents. Unbeknown toANNETTE, KAREN and EDDIE, theirdaddy hid the tape recorder near theChristmas tree. When the children camerushing downstairs and started to opentheir presents, the tape recorder was start-ed. All the squeals of delight, and excite-ment as they exclaimed: "Oh, just what Iwanted!" were plainly recorded and willnot only be enjoyed for many years, butwill provide a wonderful record of the child-ren's Christmas in 1957.

Many an older person would give manytimes a dime, NOT to lose a tooth. But tolittle Jeri 4 year old daughter of news-caster DEAN NAVEN, the dime her 6 yearold sister had just gotten from a "GoodFairy" for the loss of a tooth, was almostmore than she could stand. When daddycame home from the studio about 8 onemorning, little Jeri was standing over inthe corner sobbing. It was some time be-fore she would tell daddy why she wascrying. Finally, after being urged by hermother to tell, she sobbed out her story:"I want to lose a tooth too!" Daddy sus-picions it wasn't the tooth she wanted tolose so much, as the dime she wanted toget. Daddy told her to wait. . .she'd losea tooth someday, and that same good fairywould see that a dime was put under herpillow at night! I'll bet after JERI triedto eat a few meals minus a tooth, shewould want that fairy to raise the ante. .

it would be worth MORE than a dime toput up with the inconvenience.

He's done it again! Yes, Disc JockeyMIKE HEUER has won another RCA con-test, this time winning an RCA Video clockvalued at $20.00. The contest was held inNovember, designated by RCA as "WakeUp To Music Month". Since MIKE sent inseveral entries. . .captions to a cartoon.. .

he doesn't know which one was the winner.He will attach the clock to his televisionset, so it will come on and off as he wishes.Mike isn't the only one in the family whohas won an honor recently. His wife waselected President of the Hand Hospital Em-polyee's Association, in January. MRS.HEUER has been nursing at the hospitalfor three years.

While in Clarinda, January 10th, tapinghighlights of the Cardinal Capers of 1957 atthe high school, Disc Jockey TOMMYBURNS found out what a real celebrity heis. Two little 10 year old girls, came upand asked for his autograph. At first,TOMMY argued with them, thinking they

THE TYPOGRAPHIC ERRORThe typographic error is a slippery thing

and sly;You can hunt until you're dizzy, but some-

how it gets by.Till the forms are off the press it's strange

how still it keeps,It shrinks into a corner and never stirs or

peeps.typographic error is too small forhuman eyes,the ink is on the paper, when it growsto mountain size.boss, he stares with horror, then tearshis hair and groans;sad sack who okayed the proofs justdrops his head and moans.all the other printing may be clean asclean can be,that typographic error is the ONLYthing you see!

didn't know who he was. But when he ask-ed the little girls his name, and they im-mediately replied: "TOMMY BURNS", hefelt very flattered and they soon had hisautograph. While there, TOMMY also in-terviewed CARLA RENZ, a 17 year oldSenior in the Clarinda High School.CARLA, with her family, escaped fromEast Germany 31/2 years ago, and sincethen have been making their home in Clar-inda. She is an excellent ballet dancer,taught by the Russians. She started tak-ing lessons when only 5 years old. The in-teresting interviews were played back onTOMMY'S afternoon disc jockey shows.

Pgm. Director DEAN NAVEN and Asst.Farm Director JACK GOWING barely mis-sed being hit by a train near Bingham oneafternoon recently. The track hit the roadat an angle. As they neared the track,DEAN who was driving, looked to theright. It just so happened JACK was look-ing left and said: "Here comes one!"Quick as a flash, DEAN put on the brakesand stopped the car only about one footfrom the rail. Then he got it in reverseand pulled back, just as the train went by.Fortunately they were going uphill insteadof downhill, which might have been a fac-tor in helping save them from a seriousaccident.

Lucky! You bet Asst. Farm Service Di-rector JACK GOWING was lucky when heflew to Wichita, Kansas to hear the Presi-dent speak following his tour of the droutharea in the South, because he was within20 feet of Eisenhower when he made histalk. Over 1,500 farmers, newspaper, tele-vision and radio reporters were on hand atthe Service Club Air Base in Wichita tohear the President's eight minute report.An on -the -spot recording was made, andplayed back on JACK'S program the nextday. He was accompanied to Wichita bytwo news reporters from KMTV in Omaha.
