Ruth Matteson (right), charming blonde XBC National Player, likes to raise poultry. So she spends every week-end at the family ranch near Los Gatos. Mona Lowe, blues singer, plays tennis and stays thin. John Wolfe (at mike) tells the world about his fishing trip with Ted Maxwell. John is in the harmony team John and Ned. By the looks of the two fishermen, Ted did most of the heavy hauling on the lines.
PERHAPS it's because they're used to covering miles of ether, in the fraction of a second, with the songs they sing and the words they say, but whatever the reason, the wide-open spaces have an irresistible appeal to radio stars.
The boys and girls whose profession keeps them penned up in studios, training their voices on the small metal door which opens on the great stage of radio, get out into the country whenever they can. This being California, country isn't hard to find, and the range of pursuits covered by the folk in NBC's San Francisco studios offers a comprehensive picture of the sports tastes of radio. Many times, these hobbies present an entirely different personality from the one listeners know.
There's Jennings Pierce, chief announcer of NBC's Pacific Division for instance. NBC audiences have heard him on so many kinds of programs that you might picture J. P. as a restless person who couldn't sit still for more than sixty seconds at a time.

But Jennings Pierce's idea of a lot of fun is to slip out of town all by himself or with just one or two companions, and find a little hidden lake or unfrequented stream somewhere within motoring distance of San Francisco. Give him an assortment of flies, a rod and a line, and he won't ask any more of life. Striped bass used to be Jennings' favorite, but J. P. Cuenin, noted California sportsman, converted him to black bass on a historic trip the two made one hot summer day in which they proved that black bass do bite — and fight, too — no matter how warm it is. One of the hot weather warriors put up such a battle that J. P. and the boat capsized together.
Refa Miller is another NBC fisherman. The demure looking little NBC soprano who measures something like five feet in height, turns into another person when she leaves the studio behind and goes camping. She becomes a capable woodswoman who could take care of herself almost indefinitely, she believes, in the open.
