at Griffith returned to the land of milk and honey last October to resume work which she put aside shortly Pafter Pearl Harbor. She came back to conduct WHO's Community Service. Service is Pat's middle name, for she spent four years with WLS in its community service deJ;lartment, then joined WHO in community service, remaming there for four years until she went into another branch of service the Women's Army Corps. Pat was commissioned in one of the first classes of officer candidates at Fort Des Moines in 1942 . and she became a captain during three years of service which took her around the world. In Manila, at the conclusion of the war, she was one of four women who witnessed the sur render by the Japanese officers in the Philippines. About this time the head of the WACs, Col. Boyce, came to the Philippines and Pat was invited to join the official party on the completion of its world inspection trip-a trip which took her to the China-Burma-India Theater, the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, North Africa, and the European Theater of Operations. Back in the United States, Captain Pat Griffith was as signed to public relations in Washington, D. C., and then proceeded to Des Moines for her discharge. Shortly there after, she returned to Washington, D. C., to work for the Manila (P. I.) Evening News, and broadcast over stations WINX-Washington and WARL-Arlington, Virginia. Then in 1948, she was named Director of Women's Ac tivities of the National Association of Broadcasters. Still lonesome for the "good American soil," however, she re signed this post to return to Des Moines, WHO and service in the communities which she loves best.

favorite a round KCMO's K ansas City studios and also a favorite with Mid-America listen Aers is Uncle Ezra. In addition to being a very nice person, he's also a very modest one.
His disposit ion stays $ood all day, too. When you recall that he starts hIs day at 5: 00 A.M. every morning Monday through Saturday with his early morning program of homespun humor, you realize being good-natured is no mean achievement. You might expect that around ten or eleven in the morning he'd be tired and cross, but not Uncle Ezra. E" eren Kemp'. mOIlO mUll be " 'ook upon Ibe dou, llIl ul and not upon the hole." He's been in radio for almost twenty years. Be fore that, as a monologist, he was a leading Lyceum and Chautauqua entertainer. He also did some short movies with Sidney a nd Mrs. Drew. Unc:1e's real name is Everett Kemp, and he and Mrs. Kemp have one son and two grandchildren. There are a lot 01 old fashioned plants around the Kemp home and one grapefruit tree-which wasn't Uncle's idea. However, he said it just kept growing and now it's one of his wife's favorites. Uncle boasts he is a "pretty fair" cook and although he doesn't specialize in anyone dish, he confides he can bake "a very good" cake.
Red is his favorite color, and even though he prefers double breasted suits, he always wears single breasted ones, because "I don't want to look like a bag of cornmeal." Rainy days are good only for sleepi n ~, he says, and he likes spring and fall. Eating IS an enjoyable pastime of his, and on his "tops" list he includes fish, goose berry pie, hominy grits and cornmeal mush. Perhaps you may wonder how Uncle got his radio name. These are t he racts: When he was working on Happy Hollow, Ted Malone was Writing the show and Ted himself suggested the name. After Ted left Kansas City, Uncle con tinued to portray Uncle Ezra and also took on the chore of writing the p r o~ r am, which soon became a coast to coast production on the Columbia Broadcasting System. Right now he is doing a new show every Satur day morning at 10:30. Called Bill and Mary, the program is a down to earth story of human interest, which deals with episodes in the lives of a husband and wife who m ight be your neighbors. There is no crime, no intrigue, just a Bood. wholesome port rayal of everyday events which could happen to anyone.
Uncle Ezra has been with K CMO for over seven years, and in that time he has built up a loyal audience.

Husband Buddy Rogers' great suc cess on radio and television during a brief period in the East was a fact that Mary was well aware of before Buddy returned to California to tell her about it himself. She had seen kinescopes of the Toast of the Town show when Buddy substituted as emcee for Ed Sullivan. She had read the rave re views of his vocalizing on the Roberta Quinlan show. And friends returning from the East had informed her that Buddy was being hailed as the new sensation of television. Best of all, she had heard that the American Broad casting Company wanted to sign him to a long-term radio and video con tract. It was typical of Buddy's modesty about his own accomplishments that Mary hadn't heard the wonderful news dudng anyone of their innumerable long-distance telephone conversations. Buddy, however, was much more eager to find out what was going on at home during his absence: the children's progress at school, Mary's new recipe for enchiladas (which he loathes, but will eat just to please her), the fact that eight-year-old Roxanne had lost another tooth, and that son Ronnie had frightened everyone by remanung away most of one day to hunt "coyotes" in the mountains surrounding their home.

"No!" magicians contend. "It's all a bag of tricks." Then why don't the magicians expose Dun ninger? "Dunninger uses professional magic tricks that cost money or require years of practice to per form," they explain. "To expose Dunninger would mean exposing ourse1ves and destroying our means of livelihood." Dunninger, the master mindreader, insists loudly that other magicians envy his peculiar talent. He claims the ability to read minds is a kind of extra-sensory acl like touching or smell ing, and argues, "Anyone similarly blessed could do the same thing with sufficient practice."

When, during the war, servicemen mourned the Christmases spent in combat, Don decided to do something about it, and that something was labeled the Breakfast Club's Christmas in July. It look a litl1e dOing, {or decorations at that season are packed in warehouses, and a tree had to be specially cut and trucked to Chicago. Yet it was worth the ef fort, I realized as I sal at home listening to the carols, hearing about the brightly bedecked tree, and feeliog like the servicemen guests and the rest of the audience that the Christmas spirit ought not be restricted to one day in the year. Its finish, however, was unlike any other Christmas broadcast. Don arrived home late that afternoon, tired and sunburned. "Where in the world have you been?" I asked. Don grinned. '''When the mow was over, we went down to the beach to cool off. Santa Claus swapped his coat for a red bathing suit, hut he kept on his whiskers."
