H Have you Heard? Station WGL in Fort Wayne might ivell ask if you've heard about Ev Sutherin, radio hostess ivorth knoiving MIDWEST ©IT® EDS© Paint-by-number becomes a co-op hobby in Evs family. Husband Bill joins right in with sons Phill (left), 10, and Will, 14. The singing Chordettes visit Ev on her radio show. Getting a job was no trouble at all for Ev Sutherin. The owner of Fort Wayne, Indiana's Station WGL suggested to Ev that she do a show, and the Program Director hastened to hire her. The Program Director is her husband! But Easy Street ended right there. Now that she has her show. "Have You Heard?" — broadcast every weekday morning from 10:15 to 10:30 — Ev spends many long hours working to make her program both worthwhile and entertaining. This she has done, and she loves every minute of it. "I'd be lost without my show," Ev says, "because it gives me the opportunity to meet many interesting people, to be an active part of the community, and also gives me the personal satisfaction that I am. perhaps, making some small contribution." . . . She certainly has made a contribution — and a large one — to her community. Ev received a special commendation for a series of programs on the subject of protecting children from sex deviates, and also helped the local Christmas Bureau obtain gifts for needy youngsters by mentioning the Bureau on her show. For her efforts and for her talent she has achieved the second highest rating on WGL. (\ou'll never guess who walked away with the number-one rating — her husband ! ) She and Bill met when both were attending a radio class at Muskingum College. As Ev puts it: "It was a gloomy January morning at 8 o'clock. I had my hair in curlers and he needed a shave. Neither of us had had our coffee. Where can you go from there but up? !" They now live with their two children and a temperamental cat in a comfortable home in Fort Wayne which they "can almost afford." . . . Ev spends most of her free time promoting jazz. Any time left over from that is devoted to refinishing antiques. Of course, there isn't much free time in the life of a busy wife, mother of two active boys and hostess of a daily radio show. . . . "Have You Heard?" touches on everything from recipes to politics, and features interviews with local personalities and visiting celebrities (Ann Landers, Fran Allison, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. ) . Have you heard — that "Have You Heard?" hostess is a real whirlwind!
