SALT LAKE CITY -For nine years the Salt Lake Tabernacle Choir has been singing, every Sunday, over a nationwide network. That makes it the oldest continuously - presented sustaining program in American radio, a distinction that entitles it to the honor of celebrating its ninth birthday this July. The Choir itself, which Leopold Stokowski has called the finest singing aggregation in America, was organized in 1850, and has been active without interruption since 1870. It made its first appearance on the air over NBC in 1929, and was so popular that NBC kept it on as a weekly feature. In 1932, KSL, Salt Lake's pioneer local station, became affiliated with CBS, and since then the Choir has been a regular Sunday- morning program on the Columbia chain. During more than eight years of its existence the entire program has been written, produced and announced by Richard L. Evans, the KSL director of special features. Its conductor is J. Spencer Cornwall, with Richard P. Condie as assistant conductor; and its organists are Frank W. Asper and Wade N. Stevens. in the Choir is defi- When your baby is suffering MEMBERSHIPnitely an honor.

" AND I do mean you." I-' Twice a week, approxi- mately twenty million radio listeners hear a slightly bewildered young man conclude his national broadcast with those words. The slightly bewildered young man is Jimmie Fidler. He is bewildered because he doesn't quite understand how it all happened. How what all happened? Listen to this: His sponsors-he advertises a brand of shampoo for a nationally known soap company -pay him $3,- 500 a week for two fifteen minute programs. On these programs he babbles about the gossip, the scan- dals, the goings -on of Hollywood. He writes a gossip column about Hollywood which is syndicated to more than two hundred newspapers. A national radio check -up places him second in popularity only to the perennial team of Amos 'n Andy for fifteen minute programs. He recently signed a contract with a major motion picture company to be featured in three films. For the first, he will be paid $50,000; for the second, $75,000; for the third, $100,000. After this, the producers hold an option on be on the radio at all and did very little himself to get his further services calling for three pictures a year on it. for five years.

Good music is only music that is so beautiful it goes on living and giving pleasure to people long after less beautiful music has been forgotten. You can see this happening to strictly popular tunes today. But Old Man River is on its way to becoming a "classic ". Not because it is any more "highbrow" than it was when it func- tioned as part of a hit show, but because it goes on giving you more pleasure than a lot of other hits.

But the summer ended, and with it their summer idyl. Ila went away to New York and Edgar never saw her again. During the latter part of his college career, Edgar tried hard to get into vaudeville and finally succeeded.

PART III THE Armenian Strong Man didn't like Charlie McCarthy. His antipathy had been apparent ever since the vaudeville troupe, of which he and Charlie and Edgar Bergen were members, went on the road. He was jealous. He would stand, glower- ing, in the wings while Edgar and Charlie were doing their act, audibly suspicious of an individual who, although patently stuffed with sawdust, could move and talk the way Charlie could. The Strong Man could balance pianos on the palm of his hand. He had been a prize fighter once and resented everything about the suave Mr. McCarthy -especially the fact that he, The Great Chandor, must pre- cede Charlie on the bill and that he received for his piano juggling less pay and less applause. Now on this particular day Charlie had gone so far as to make fun of him to the audience: "Ladeees and gentlemen! I will now

Anticipating an aroused public interest, it is important that medical and nursing services and public health clinic and hospital facilities be provided wherever necessary in order to take advantage of the people's cooperation in finding all the cases. The public should also be warned against medical charletans victimizing people who are infected, and who are not informed about where to go for com- petent advice and treatment.

we are challenged as a CLEARLYnation to solve this problem at whatever cost in time, in money and in service. If we cannot do everything at once we can begin with the most important things first. We can stamp out syphilis from child life by examining all expectant mothers and treating those infected; and by discovering and treating children already born with the disease. We can protect marriage by requir- ing all applicants for licenses to secure an adequate health examination including tests for syphilis. We can make arrangements for proper examination, treatment and advice to be available to every citi- zen, regardless of social, economic or moral status. Then we can go to work in every community to find those infected but not yet under treatment, and to in- duce and aid them to secure proper medical care.

In response to numerous requests, RADIO MIRROR publishes gum while you're driving? this question and answer column to help readers who are interested in this wonderful new field. We do not guarantee to answer all questions correctly because the progress of television changes from day to day, but if there is anything you want to know, write to the Television Editor, RADIO MIRROR, 122 East 42nd Street, New York City.

1. Is complete darkness necessary for television reception? Answer -No. The set will perform satisfactorily, if the lights are not too bright. However, darkness is recommended for a more brilliant image. 2. Can images be photographed off the receiver screen? Answer -Yes, with the proper fast lens and film. 3. What's the status of the scanning disk method of television? Answer -The majority of television engineers claim it is obsolete. But there are some experimenters who claim it will be revived for color television. 4. Will existing broadcast stations present television programs? Answer -No. Sound programs will continue as a separate effort. But it is believed that most television transmitters will be operated by owners of broadcasting stations. 5.

But I must admit that there are things about marriage that you only find out by being married.

By JOYCE ANDERSON

T is a full -time job to appear fresh, cool and well -groomed when the thermometer is on the up- and -up. Joan Blaine, star of Valiant Lady heard over the NBC network, frequently cited as radio's best dressed woman, confides some of her secrets for looking as fresh as the proverbial daisy and as cool as an ice cube during the hottest summer days. That extra shower a day, that scrubbed cleanliness, that make -up that defies the heat, that lasting cool flower fragrance, that coiffure that keeps her shining black hair closely molded to her head for summer chic and comfort are fetishes with this young star. Joan Blaine confides that her extra shower a day is taken with tepid water and not the pricking needles of a cold spray because she knows that cold water only increases body heat. For invigoration, she prefers instead to spray on an ice -cold cologne, after the bath, from the bottle which is kept in her refrigerator.

WITNESSED STATEMENT SERIES: Billie Branch Has Smoked VETERAN Luckies for 15 Years of 2000 Tobacco Auctions

Billie Branch says: "Like most other independent tobacco experts, I smoke luckies !"

Mr. Smoker: W hat about these experts who smoke Luckies 2 to 1? Mr. Lucky Strike: It's a fact ... and sworn records show it. Mr. Smoker: What sort of experts? Mr. L. S.: Independent experts. Not tied up with any cigarette maker. Auction- eers, buyers, warehousemen. Mr. Smoker: What do they do? Mr. L. S.: Take Billie Branch, for instance. He's been "in tobacco" since boyhood. He is an auctioneer. Mr. Smoker: He must know tobacco! Mr. L. S.: He does. He's seen the tobacco all the companies buy, Lucky Strike included -and he's smoked Luckies for 15 years. Mr. Smoker: That speaks well. Mr. L. S.: What's more, only Luckies employ the "Toasting" process. Mr. Smoker: What does that do? Mr. L. S.: It takes out certain harsh throat irritants found in all tobacco. "Toasting" makes Luckies a light smoke. Mr. Smoker: I believe I'll try them.
