MORNING, NOON. OR NIGHT—
BUT READ ABOUT THEM HERE
HOLLYWOOD: Credit broadcasting with another humane act. Recently the son of Mrs. Mary Dole, of the Hawaiian importing family, was stricken seriously ill in his San Francisco home. Somewhere in the far north off the coast of Alaska, his mother was cruising, unaware of her son's condition. Wireless messages were unanswered. In desperation, the Coast Guard appealed to KNX, whose broadcasts are regularly heard in the upper reaches of this continent. The bulletin was received, the vessel swung about, and it was a very grateful mother who thanked KNX some days later.

San Francisco: These One Man's Family actors and actresses are certainly good American homebodies in real life as well as on the air. When Kathleen Wilson (Claudia) returned to the cast, she learned that her serial husband, Nicky, had gotten married while she was away. The bride is Helen Clifford, a trained nurse, and as a wedding gift from the cast, received an Italian lace tablecloth. Of course Kathleen was not jealous of her radio spouse's new partnership. She herself is a wife and mother. You recall that last month's Coastto-Coast column told you of the birth of her new son.

Chicago: Here's another wedding. Jim Ameche, leading man of the Affiliated Broadcasting Company's Little Theat-Aire dramas, is marrying Betty Harris, a Chicagoan, in Rochester, N. Y. The wedding is being held in the church in which the bride's mother and grandmother took their vows. Jim, you may know, is the younger brother of Don Ameche, handsome gallant of the airwaves who for so long has played leading parts in the First Nighter series.
Chicago: Owen Newell, ABC assistant program director, decided that he got about a good bit in the course of a day's work of dashing from studio to studio. The other day he appeared at broadcasting headquarters with a pedometer. Clocked a total of eight and three-quarter miles by the end of the day. Wonder what he'd think if he read the recent newspaper report that housewives are estimated to walk each year a distance equal to that between Boston and San Francisco— over 3,000 miles.

Cincinnati: If you are a WLW follower, and it's pretty hard not to be one in a good part of this country, you are probably listening to the lilting rhythms of Babs and her Brothers. And doubtless you are wondering if it is the same trio which made such a hit as a part of the Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians
troupe. Well it isn't — not entirely. The two boys, Charles and Little Ryan, are the same boys. They are real brothers. There never was a sister Babs. She was married to Charlie while
From Chicago comes this trio: Harold Rick, Ralph Snyder, Priscilla Hoi brook.
This is Mary Alkus, known to listeners as Helen Webster — a California star.
