Heuer Recreates B. Goodman at Carnegie

THIS ISN'T MIKE HEUER AT CARNEGIE HALL, BUT HE WAS "THERE". It wasexactly twenty years ago on the night of January 16th that Benny Goodman and hisfamous orchestra played the first Jazz Concert ever held at Carnegie Hall.This historical event started as a publicity stunt, but gathered such enormous momen-tum through public demand that Benny Goodman himself couldn't get tickets by con-cert time.Fortunately the concert was recorded, but it was years later that Benny's daughter dis-covered the old recordings stored in a closet. Their quality was so excellent it wasdecided to put them in album form.Upon playing these new albums (pictured above), Mike Heuer became engrossed withthe idea of recreating the Carnegie Concert as if it were happening "now". He work-ed with tape recorder and splicer, introducing announcer and sound effects, until hehad a very close facsimile of the real thing.Mike passed the word along to the east coast that he was doing a special program onKMA, recreating the Goodman Concert. It was Mike's fondest hope that Benny Good-man would hear of it, and sure enough, Benny climaxed the program by calling longdistance from New York.

There is an old sea chant which says,"When air gets light,The glass falls low,Batten down tight,For the winds will blow."

We still have several weeks of winter left,and we will watch to see when the air getslight and the glass falls low. Many earlypredictions indicated a rather severe winterwith heavy snows. However, I haven'theard many complaints about the severityof our winter to date.

One of the things we do at our house oncold nights is journey to the basement fora game of pool. The picture below showsthe family engaging in one of our frequentgames. The pool table was a Xmas presentfrom the fine folks at KMA and the MaySeed Company. There is also a top thatcovers the table which converts it into aping pong table. Needless to say, we havelots of fun with the Xmas present and aregrateful to those who presented it to us.

I am encouraging the girls to bring theirfriends in to use either the pool table orping pong table. I would rather have themin the basement with their friends thanelsewhere. I recall my folks had both apool table and ping pong table in the base-ment when I was in high school. Everyevening a group of myfriends came by to use therecreation room. We hadlots of fun and the parentsknew exactly where theirchildren were. I don't thinkthe words "juvenile delin-quents" had been thoughtof at that time. If so, theycertainly didn't apply to anyone of us because we were inthe basement entertainingourselves and staying out ofmischief. This is the reasonwhy I am encouraging thegirls to feel free to use thebasement for themselves andtheir friends.

The month of Januaryturned out to be quite amonth for the folks at KMA.Several of the fellows werecalled upon for extra dutyFebruary, 1958

A Chat 'With

ed./ VI"because of circustances beyond control.Frank Field returned to the hospital forsurgery and was off the air the entiremonth. He is improving rapidly and shouldreturn to the air in the near future.

I had surgery performed on my jaw-bone and didn't broadcast for two weeks.However, my operation wasn't too seriousand I am back on the airlanes once againfeeling fine. I particularly want to thankthe fellows who did extra duty and pinch-hitting for me while I was recuperating.

The second half of the school year hasstarted in most schools. Annette who is inthe seventh grade, had semester tests forthe first time. She was quite concernedabout them, but passed every subject with-out too much trouble. She particularlylikes history and geography and finds themquite easy. She says arithmetic and Englisharen't quite as easy. However, she doeswell in school. I often wonder when theyfind time to study with all the things theyhave to do. Karen, who is in the fourthgrade, isn't quite as busy. She has alwaysliked school and so far has had good grades.

Eddie is too young for school. However,he has already started a sales career.Recently he was in a local grocery store

Frank CommentsAbout Frank Field

By BILL OVERBEY

I just came from a visit with Frank andJennie in their home, where he is recup-erating from his final (we hope!) opera-tion.

By the time you read this, Frank willprobably be back on the air. But sincethis is written weeks ahead of publication,he asked me to handle the chore for himthis month.

First, a word about his operation. Itseems that the stomach muscles throughwhich the doctors have had to cut didn'twant to stay sewed together-in fact, theypulled apart three times. I can assureyou they won't again! This time, the doc-tor inserted a 5 -inch square of stainlesssteel screen wire, then sewed it into placewith wire. As additional insurance, hethen removed an 8 -inch strip of muscletissue from Frank's leg and transplantedit into the stomach incision, stitching it

Here is a picture of Frank taken in earlyDecember between bouts with the Doctors.

into place over the wire patch. Frank maycome apart at some other seams, but he'ssure that particular incision is zippered upfor good.

After all this, though, he is feeling fine.Lots of rest and good care are workingwonders, and he's already looking forwardto resuming his radio and television work.

Incidentally, the doctor put him on ahigh protein diet, with lots of milk andeggs. And Frank can't drink milk! Theideal answer seemed to be custard pie. . .

and Jennie has been baking one a day forhim. He loves 'em, but she says she doesn'tcare if she never sees another one.

At the risk of swelling Frank's ego, Imust say that it has taken a lot of us tofill his shoes. Joe Hunter and Jack Gowinghave been handling his radio shows, whileJohn Topham, Wayne McMannama, EverettIvie and I from the seed company and War-ren Nielson of KMA have been trying tokeep up the television schedule.

Everybody around here will be glad tohave Frank back in the harness. . .butthose seven men above are going to beespecially happy, believe me.

"Moon Signs"Every year the May Seed Company

prints many thousands of "Moon SignDates" which Frank Field distributes forthe asking. Many people follow the MoonSigns very closely, and apparently withgood results. Just recently a lady wrote inthat she never believed in the signs, but aneighbor did, and always seemed to havesuch a better garden, that this year she wasgoing to follow the moon signs too. Be-sides gardening, the "Moon Sign Dates"give favorable times for such things ascutting timber, pruning trees, killing nox-ious growth, harvesting various crops,making sauerkraut and soap, cutting hairto either retard or stimulate growth, fish-ing, and many other daily functions affect-ed by the moon. If you would like to havea "Moon Sign" log, send your name andaddress to Frank Field, c/o KMA. He'll beglad to see that you get one.

ROOTNOTES

It seems to me that you folks on farmscan have much more influence in formu-lating government farm programs if youwill let your wants be known. Farm organ-izat.ons certainly have their place, but youas individuals, writing letters to yourcongressman, are much more effective. Ithink the day is gone when lobbyists, assuch, will be really effective. In the firstplace, they are recognized as pressuregroups by the congressman they contact.That. in itself builds an invisible wall be-tween them. Most congressmen are a little"fec up" with pressure groups partly be-cause they have, too often, been sold a billof goods later to find out that many oftheir constituents do not necessarily agreewitk the policies of the pressure groupsinvdved.

I have been in the offices of many of ourcongressmen and all of them tell me thatletters from you, the voters, are the mostimportant guide they have. They will payattention to you, because you are represent-ing only yourself - and you are a voter.Lets consider for example, one congress -mar.. If he were to receive 10 letters fromvoters in his district, all in basic agree-ment on a particular issue, he would con-sider that as much better evidence than ifa farm organization representative were tocall on him every day for two weeksattempting to sell an idea. There are ex-cep-lons to everything, of course, but thisI believe to be the basic true situation atpresent in Washington. Your letters tocongressmen need not be fancy to be effec-tive. As a matter of fact, a letter writtenin bng hand on an ordinary tablet is betterthat one written on a fancy letterhead.YoL the voters are in a position to deter -mire how your elected representatives willvote on every issue - if you will just takethe time to tell them what you want done.

to be sliced from all sides - unless Con-gress refuses to accept present top propos-als. I doubt if farm -state congressmencan muster enough strength to get appro-priations necessary to really bolster thefarm economy very much. Whether youlike it or not, you will have to depend moreand more on the laws of supply and de-mand, but with still enough governmentcontrol mixed into your business to con-tinually mess up the entire farm economy.Most congressmen would be willing, so itappears, to throw the farmer to the wolvesand let you, the farmer, fight your ownbattles.

How you gonna' tell if the school busis coming, when its so foggy you can't seedown the road ? Thats the problem BRUCEand KAREN FALK faced. It was sofoggy and cold they thought they would

Zip, the new white parakeet at the homeof engineer DON BURRICHTER doesn'thave a very large vocabulary yet! Conse-quently, he overworks one word he doesknow. . ."pretty". He'll happily chirp awaysaying: "Pretty Bird", "Pretty Boy","Pretty Baby" and "Pretty Pretty". Inci-dentally, Zip got a mighty big welcome asa replacement for Zeke who flew out thedoor one day and never returned. The fam-ily missed Zeke so much, they were soonlooking over the birds at the May SeedCompany for one to take his place. Zip is3 months old, and is sitting "pretty" as faras a home is concerned, for the BURRICH-TERS all love him!

Imagine Program Director DEANNAVEN's surprise to find the road hethought he was traveling out of ghost townNevadville in Colorado, was not a road atall. The map didn't even show a road.DEAN and wife, and his brother, "Sugar"Harrison and wife of Corning, were spend-ing a week's vacation in Denver in Janu-uary, when they decided to drive up aroundthe old mining camp at Central City andsee if they could find the Glory Hole wheregold was discovered. But they took thewrong turn and ended up going thruNevadville, a ghost town. From there theydrove on up into the gulch It was an inter-esting trip, but they were surprised to findthey had really been pioneering as theirtrip thru the aspens wasn't on a road atall. They were just wending their wayaround the mountain!

How lucky can a feller be ? Randy, 4year old son of JACK GOWING asked fora baby sister for Christmas and that's ex-actly what he got. In fact, she was bornon Christmas night, and looks a great deallike her handsome young brother. Natur-ally Randy wanted to be good to her thefirst night she came home from the hospi-tal, so he tried to give her some crackers.Julie Dawn didn't feel quite up to eatingcrackers yet, but her refusal didn't dauntRandy's affection, as he spends a lot oftime going to the bedroom to take a peekat her in her crib.

While making a fresh green salad forsupper one evening, ED MAY had a"looker on" in the person of his young son.Thinking Eddie, Jr. might like a fresh car-rot, he handed him one to eat. After takinga few bites, Eddie looked up and said:"What's up Doc ?" Yes, Eddie is a BugsBunny fan!

Lots of "little ones" to look after now atthe JACK GOWING farm. Fourteen newspring lambs including four sets of twinshave been born, and two new Black Angusheifer calves. Of course, the most import-ant arrival, is the new baby daughterJulie Dawn who arrived Christmas Day.With seventeen "babies" to look after, itkeeps Jack pretty busy.

Here's a word of warning to you house-wives with garbage disposals in your kit-chen sink. Don't leave your wrist watchon the kitchen window. Because you mighthave an unfortunate accident like FRAN-CIS MAY RANKIN, whose watch fell intothe sink and was all broken up in the dis-posal. As soon as she realized what washappening she immediately stopped themachine, but it was too late. The watchwas crushed beyond repair.

Apparently Holly Nielson has inheritedher mother's love for music. Holly willcelebrate her fourth birthday February 20,and is looking forward to the event, inhopes she will get a baby piano. She enjoyspicking out nursery rhymes on her mother'sbig piano, but would love to have one ofher very own. Even though she is stillyoung, Holly can carry a tune very well, soI imagine her birthday wish for a toy pianowill be fulfilled.

It is a big job andtakes four staff members to answer thecalls and prepare the returns for RalphChilds on the mike. Many times the callsare coming in so thick and fast on a wholebattery of telephones, that the staff isdoing a "Fast Break" themselves, up anddown the hall, rushing the reports to thestudio.

A Letter From Bernice CurrierDear Homemakers:

My letter writing is usually done on in-spiration; so when I come right up againsta dead -line and the office says "now youget that letter written or else __ __" mymind goes blank just like it used to inschool when the teacher, in exasperation,would say, "We are going to have whisper-ing recess. Everybody may whisper to theone across the aisle." Nobody could thinkof anything to say.

I'm sitting on the davenport in the diningroom which is my office and broadcastingroom. My big old desk is covered withrecipe files, letters, a glass of water fortaking my Guardian 12 Plus vitamin everymorning. The microphone glares at medaring me to think of a wonderful recipe togive tomorrow morning and then find thetime to give it and also have time to checkit. Sometimes the microphone smiles andeverything goes so smoothly that I knowI must have skipped some important itemand I check hurriedly in my mind only tofind Ovenglayze lurking back there waitingimpatiently for it's moment of triumph. Soit goes --this enthralling business which iscalled "Radio".

One of the things I like about you Home-makers is your very real and genuineinterest in homemaking. And that em-braces so many activities, jobs and profes-sions. Your letters show interest in In-terior Decorating, problems of raisingchildren, recipes, care of electrical equip-ment, nursing, education and balancedmeals for your family or for yourself alone.Also you are interested in civic and nationalcharities and it is heart warming to knowwhat you are doing for someone else. Thankyou for your letters. This morning I readyou a letter I had received from Lola Tay-lor Hemphill of Omaha, Nebraska, whosebook of poems I use so many times on theair. She has just sent her Christmas cardsto the Presbyterian Mission in Taegu,Korea where they are used to help createinterest in Bible reading. So if you haven'tsent yours yet, send the ones that havereligious meaning or Bible references onthem. You do not need to cut away thewriting unless you do it to lighten the post-age, which is a good idea too. The addressagain is:

The Rev. and Mrs. Raymond ProvostPresbyterian MissionNo. 1 Nam San DongTaegu, Korea

Mrs. Hemphill also sent me a recipe for aLEMON ANGEL FOOD DESSERT that Iam going to serve when I have the AltrusaDessert meeting here in about a week. It

isn't difficult to make, it has eye appeal,and tastes wonderful. To make it you teara regular sized angel food cake into bitesize pieces, and arrange in alternate layerswith a custard, in an angel food cake pan.Chill over -night in refrigerator, unmold ontray, cut in slices and serve either with orwithout whipped cream. To make thecustard, beat 6 egg yolks until thick andlemon colored, gradually beat in 34 c.sugar, add 34 c. lemon juice and 11/2 t.grated lemon rind. Cook this in top ofdouble boiler over gently boiling water, orin saucepan over very low heat, stirringconstantly until it coats a spoon. Add 1package plain gelatin soaked in 1/4 c. coldwater. Stir until dissolved. Beat 6 eggwhites until stiff but not dry then beat ingradually 34 c. sugar. Then fold this intothe custard until completely blended. Theyellow and white of the custard and cake isvery attractive.

I have had my front room upstairs paint-ed a light green in the rubber base paint.The walls and woodwork are the samecolor, the ceiling is an off white. This weekthey will get the carpeting laid, I hope. Itis a golden brown with a faint rose cast intweed. The tweed carpetings are verypopular right now and I think they willhold their popularity for several years. Butwhether or not they do is immaterial be-cause I don't change carpeting with thechanging styles. The curtains in that roommatch the walls and woodwork. Thepainter even painted the wires holding thelarge mirror. I can't report much aboutmy family this time. Since Christmas theyhaven't stormed the castle with letters, butI haven't done so well either. When I hadthe basement walls cemented I was cata-pulted into a job of house-cleaning that allhad to be done in two days on account ofa committee meeting I had scheduled forhere and also the Business and ProfessionalWomen's Board meeting that was heldhere. The draperies, walls, woodwork andfurniture had to be cleaned as well as thecarpet, cupboards and dishes. But that isone of the trials and vicissitudes of beinga house -keeper, homemaker, mother, grand-mother and broadcaster and isn't it fun ?Time and space are both running out sobe listening every morning at 8:30, Mondaythru Saturday when we have our daily visit.Until then - Bless your hearts, Goodbye

"THE FARMER'S WIFE"By FLORENCE FALK

Heartiest of Greetings to you thisFebruary from the farm kitchen ! ! !

Recipes this month are really designedfor that extra special touch, whether forparties or your own family (they like partyfare too, you know.)

The Buttermilk White Cake is an excel-lent recipe. It has not nor will it be givenon the Farmer's Wife program-the samefor the other recipes included. Try thespecial frosting. Make plenty, it refriger-ates very well.

The Golden Lemon Cookies use up somany extra egg yolks. They are good forparties (made small) for the lunch box(stay crisp and nice) or big for the menof the family. Use your favorite cutter.

SUPER HAM SOUFFLE CASSEROLE- Mrs. Harry Bussard, Clarinda, Ia.2 c. cooked macaroniAdd 1 ground onion2 c. (or more) ground cooked or uncook-

ed ham (picnic shoulder may be used)4 egg yolksseasonings

and seasoning. Fold in the stiffly beatenwhites of the 4 eggs. Pour into casserole.Bake 50 minutes in 350° oven. During thelast 15 minutes, if desired, pour over 1can of cream of condensed mushroom soupor add 2 T. chopped parsley. Serve witha hard roll, pineapple sherbet and coffee.

Add the % c. of buttermilk with 1t. soda mixed in well. Add the remain-ing 3% c. flour and beat well. Add flavor-ings. Bake in 350° oven for 25 to 30 min-utes. Use layer pans three 8 inch round,two 9 inch or one large oblong baking pan,9x13x2 inch. Be sure to do a lot of beat-ing as this insures a fine textured cake.

GRASS ROOT NOTES

Continued from Page 7

You are in a very strategic industry,namely producing food for the tables ofAmerica, but I doubt if farmers will everresort to the practice of withholding theirproduce from the market, or institutingstrikes as labor does. We may see isolatedgroups doing some of that, but not on alarge scale. Farmers, in general, do notsubscribe to violence, nor would they sub-scribe to any program that would causeinnocent people to suffer. Farmers in thismodern day are the world's greatesthumanitarians. They work long hours atlow pay, mainly to guarantee that peoplewill not go hungry. No other group wouldsacrifice, as farmers have, to fulfill theirobligation to society.

I'm sure many of you get discouraged,but occasionally something happens thatmakes you feel you are appreciated. MayI, as a town consumer, commend you forproviding an abundance of food and fiberso that I can be sure of food on my tableand clothes to keep me warm. In commend-ing you, I regret that you are not gettingproperly rewarded for your efforts. Youhave many friends, however, and many ofus will keep on fighting your battles andhoping that your lot in life will improve astime goes by. I suggest at the same timethat you adopt a philosophy of trying todo more things, as individuals, to bringmore abundance to the farmers of our area.We might see great improvements in farmincome if you will take this challenge andwork effectively to limit production andthereby insure higher prices for what youhave to market.

RALPH CHILDS COVERSSTARKWEATHER STORY

As soon as word was flash-ed that Charles Starkweath-er and his companion CarilFugate had been captured.The KMA plane was readiedby our pilot Gene Racine whoflew Ralph Childs to Doug-las, Wyoming scene of thecapture.

Hewent two days with practi-cally no sleep and coveredthe story right up to the ex-tradition by Nebr ask aauthorities. Everyone whoheard his coverage agrees itwas that of a master news-man.

A CHAT WITH EDWARD MAYContinued from Page 3

that handles Earl May "POW -WOW" pop-corn. The owner of the store is very niceto 31/2 year old Eddie and always asks himto check the popcorn supply. The grocerwas about out of corn one particular dayso he gave an order for three cases toEddie. Eddie brought the order to me andseemed quite proud of himself. It remind-ed me of the early days of KMA when wesold everything from harness to prunes.We don't handle fish, carloads of driedprunes, celery, harness, tires etc. any morebut we do have mighty good popcorn, inaddition to the regular lines of nurserystock, garden and flower seeds, hybrid corn,farm seeds and miscellaneous merchandise.

1THE WEATHER MODIFICATION Meeting held January 14 suffered what might becalled a pleasant indignity. The meeting was `snowbound". One of the heaviest snowsof the season occurred the night the meeting was scheduled in the KMA Auditorium.Only a few braved the icy roads. The meeting- is rescheduled for Tuesday, March 4.Pictured are: 0. C. Swackhammer, Tarkio, Mo., President of the Iamo project; MerrillLangfitt, Larry Berenbach, Regional Director of Weather Modification at Denver; andJack Cowing. The March 4th meeting is open to the public.

CRACK B-47 STRATOJET BOMBER COMBAT CREW HOLDS DISCUSSION OF DE-FENSE PREPARATION. Those vapor trails you see in the sky are by no means "fairweather pilots" out to get in a little flying time. They are Strategic Air Command jetbombers with a crew of three men able to deliver a counterpunch equal to all the bombsdropped during WW II. These crews are on constant alert, with a part of their com-plement triggered for take -off on 15 minutes' notice. Pictured 1 to r. are 1st Lt. ThomasE. Sutton, pilot; Merrill Langfitt; Captain James K. Houghtby, air -craft commander;Warren Nielson; 1st Lt. Alfred L. Merrell, navigator; and Dean Naven. These officersare S.. A. C. crew members of the 371st Bomb Squadron, at the Lincoln AFB. Theirdiscussion of how they handle their missions and their continual simulated bomb runson cities over the entire U. S. was one of the most interesting ever heard. Dean Navenmade arrangements for their appearance before keenly interested Legionaires in Shen-andoah and Red Oak.
