WICHITA, KANSAS h TUwf Mmperite I BOOM (MODEL FSB) Botanical Item KG MB, Honolulu, has a "phonograph needle tree" in its back yard. The Hawaiian Kiawe tree (pronounced kee-ah-ve) grows thorns almost replicas of the regulation phonograph needle, with a point that practically reaches shadowgraph perfection. The thorns give excellent reproduction, wear well, and will not scratch even a sensitive surface. Therefore the yelp of an announcer who finds himself without needles at the zero hour just before putting on a transcription program is unheard of at KGMB. In an emergencv he dashes out into the backyard, plucks a thorn or two and is ready for his program.
