RADIO STARS
group who can't understand why they're not put on Hobby Lobby, though their hobbies are not really unusual enough to interest a wide radio audience. Stamp collectors, recipe collectors and such, insist on the chance to tell the radio audience about their hobbies. One man, who said he impersonated famous persons, insisted he be allowed to do his impersonations on the air because, he said, he didn't do it commercially but only as a hobby! And one lady writes in practically every week, each time with a different hobby, hoping to be selected out of the four thousand letters we receive weekly.
But certainly there are enough really unusual hobbies. There is one pretty girl who collects puppy dog teeth. No, she doesn't remove them from the poor pooches, but collects the milk teeth puppies shed! Charles Davis, an insurance executive of
d. G
., collects elephant hairs. Another collection, of which I have samples, is woodpecker holes ! It is represented by burls or knots taken from trees, the insides of which have been completely hollowed out by woodpeckers. And I have several Civil War cannon balls from another woman's collection.
One of the most amusing hobbyists is Wade E. Brown, an excellent plumber of Baltimore, Md. Mr. Brown is the world's champion match piler. He once saw a movie newsreel of a man who had piled some 3,000 matches on the mouth of a beer bottle. Brown practiced for a year to beat him, exhibiting a huge inverted pyramid of 12.000 matches piled on a bottle neck!
He got in touch with the newsreel people to come over and take pictures of him.
Here's a close-up of Tommy Dorsey ular bandleader is considered one
and his famous trombone. The popof the best trombonists of today.
Now, when 12,000 matches are precariously piled up on a narrow bottle mouth the barest breath — even the vibration of the voice — will send them toppling. The cameramen tiptoed about, spoke in whispers as they arranged lights and set a routine. And then, just as they were about to shoot — the pile crashed and they only got a quick picture of the falling matches !
But Plumber Brown says : "That's nothing! I'm going to do something that'll
make the world sit up and take notice. I'm going to collect tinfoil until I have the largest ball in the world. Then I'll take a tenpenny nail and drive it into the tinfoil. And on top of the head of the tenpenny nail I'll pile 12,000 matches. Then I'll know real success !"
When, as and if he does, you may hear about it through what you've probably guessed is my own hobby — that is, the Sunday night Hobby Lobby program.
