Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

JOYCE J 0 RDM, M. D. ^ & s/Ly /& DIANE OGDEN, wife of Centerfield minister Rev. Gregory Ogden, was sincerely anxious to be a credit to her husband. But fun-loving, clothes-conscious Diane was not the town's idea of a proper clergyman's wife, and she was too inexperienced to handle the suspicious dislike of her critics. Lonely, discouraged, Diane was delighted to see her cousin Edgar Jarvis, who paid an unexpected visit to Centerfield one day when Gregory happened to be out of town. When Diane said goodbye to Edgar at the airport, she felt for the first time in months that she was not completely friendless. But talkative Leah Bartel, who witnessed the leave-taking, knew only that she had seen the min ister's wife kissing a handsome young man. She lost no time in spreading the news around. The town heard Leah's description with satisfied nods. Speculation pressed so hard against the private lives of the Ogdens that Gregory felt it was hopeless to go on. He prepared to resign his Centerfield parish, leave town forever. But Diane was no weakling. All at once her native courage and sense of fair play asserted themselves. She spoke to Leah Bartel, making a plea for herself that was at the same time an attack on Centerfield narrowness. Somehow she found words to explain how her youth and inexperience had created a false impression — and how the town had failed in tolerance. 36
