Radio mirror (Nov 1934-Apr 1935)

RADIO MI RROR $1.00 PRIZE IT seems to me that people as a whole enjoy complaining. Either they don't like comic artists on the radio, or they don't like jazz singers, or maybe they don't like "blues" singers. Well for goodness sakes why listen to anything you don't like and don't judge all people by yourself. There are hundreds of stations on the air each featuring something. If KOKA is featuring a jazz band and you don't like jazz just turn the little dial on your radio to a station that has something you do like. That is one of the marvels of radio and everyone can be pleased. By turning a dial just a fraction of an inch a new person or group of people enter your home to entertain you. You can't please all the people all the time and the sponsors of the programs don't try to. Please yourself by finding the program that you want to listen to and listen to it. Radio Mirror gives us so much help in picking our programs. In the section entitled "We Have With Us" you may look up the different kinds of entertainment and what hours they are scheduled for. Radio Mirror owes a vote of thanks from all radio fans for such a fine magazine that just fits the public needs. It is true that we have a lot of advertising on the radio, but when a company spends millions of dollars on programs for our entertainment we can listen for a minute or two to a little sales talk, I hope. Carolyn Loewit, Youngstown, Ohio. $1.00 PRIZE MWAY I say just a word or more on a class of radio listeners the officials seem to have entirely forgotten? I'm speaking of those whose ages are just "in-between" those children who long ago grew out of the "Skippy" period but haven't as yet reached the age of Eno Crime Clues (maybe they have but parents don't think so). Why isn't there some dramatic program for us? "Harold Teen" used to be just about right, but that too was taken off the air in favor of some other program. Today Buck Rogers isn't so bad (even Dad lends half an ear to that), but that's only one compared to the deluge of "Little Orphan Annies". Best wishes to Radio Mirror.

(Continued from page 45) he said, "though I was born and raised in the west, and I've got a little place up in Pleasant Valley where I do a bit of farming." Those are typical Robison understatements. His first job was driving cattle from the range to the loading pens in Kansas. His "little" place has 141 acres, and his "farming" includes raising oats, timothy and a herd of cattle. "You could call me a Westerner," he continued. "I was born in Chetopa, a little town in the Southern part of Kansas, just a mile and a half from the Oklahoma border. Father was conceded to be the champion fiddler in that part of the country. He wasn't a professional musician; he just played for fun. "Pop used to carry the mail on horseback between Coffeyville, Kansas, and Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in the days when Oklahoma was the Indian Territory. He had some mighty interesting experiences with the Indians, too, let me tell you. "Once when he was riding along his route, a whole passel of Indians rode up to him and threatened him with their tomahawks. They got pretty mad when he couldn't understand what they were talking about, but finally let him go. Later he learned they were after Learn to Make *40.W75aWEEK fMiaam t/ou at harm m Apcm ivnw, £500 A Year In Spare Time "Doing spare time Radio work only, 1 have averaged about $500 a year in addition to ray regular income.
