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

"Oh, Mother Baird! He's really coming home!" She stood at the bottom of the porch steps with the sun glinting on her high silvery rolls of hair, and even in the midst of my excitement a part of my mind paused to marvel at her beauty and her untouched look. Mother Baird laughingly called herself a "farm gal" since they had moved to the remodeled farmhouse on the outskirts of Rosemead; but she looked as little like a farm gal as the neat new Baird subdivision looked like the worthless weed-grown farm which Father Baird had taken in on a mortgage during the depression. With the mushrooming of the plane assembly plant in Rosemead, bringing sudden life to this sleepy little town and in influx of workers clamoring for houses, Father Baird had been quick to subdivide the old dry farm and to build the rows of neat little stucco cottages which sold like hotcakes to the plant employees. "We'll have a party to welcome Grif home," Mother Baird was saying, "a really gay one, Peggy, with all his old school friends." All his old school friends! The old familiar sense of loneliness swept over me, making me feel left out, a stranger. I didn't belong to Grif's old school crowd. While he was finishing high school in a whirl of senior class festivities and football triumphs, I had been working in the Y.W. cafeteria and going to night school, taking a secretarial course. ' We had met by accident.
