Allen Prescott, who has been known on the air for years as The Wife Saver, knows nothing whatever about running a household and doesn't mind admitting it. When he first started broadcasting recipes, tips on housekeeping, and so on, he was considered a wild-eyed radical for insisting that the subject could be amusing. Instead of treating housekeeping as a deadly serious subject, he kidded his feminine listeners. They liked this, and wrote in to say so — not only that, but their letters contained so much material worthy of broadcasting that Allen's own ignorance didn't matter at all. He became a fixture on the air, and now has his own variety-andcomedy program five afternoons a week on the Blue network, plus a sponsored Wife Saver show on NBC Saturday mornings at 10:30, EWT. In spite of his frequent protests that he knows nothing about cooking or related matters, people insist on thinking of him as an expert. This is embarrassing, Allen says. Not long ago he was invited to a friend's home for dinner. When he arrived his hostess apologized for the strong smell of cabbage, and asked him to tell the cook how to avoid it. Allen, anxious to oblige, went into the kitchen and asked the cook if she had put a little milk in with the cabbage. She said indignantly that she hadn't. Then Allen asked how long the cabbage had been cooking. About ten minutes, she said. "Well," remarked Allen, "you should never cook cabbage more than seven minutes." This was too much for the cook, and she quit on the spot. To make things worse, the host and hostess and Allen himself all had to pitch in and finish the dinner. Happening to notice the host groaning over a jar of pickles whose cap wouldn't come off, Allen remembered a bit of household lore, found a rubber band, put it around the disturbing cap, and with a deft twist had the jar open. Thus he made another enemy — the host glared, and hated him from that moment on. The wife, having lost the best cook she ever had, has never invited him to dinner again. Allen's broadcasts, particularly the Saturday-morning ones, are probably rehearsed less than any others on the air. He writes all his own material, but seldom bothers to read it the way it is written. Once he got his tongue twisted and garbled a sentence. Instead of apologizing, he merely remarked, "We're going to do the program in English tomorrow." At another time he had a frog in his throat but didn't bother to talk above it. He loudly cleared his throat and said, "Thanks — I've been longing to do that on the air for the past seven years." 8:30 10:15 1:45 10:30 1:00 12:45 8:00 10:15 00 11:00 8:30 11:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:30 9:30 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:45 4:15 11:00 12:30 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:30 2:30 3:10 3:15 3:30 7:30 8:00 7:30 8:00 7:30 4:30 5:00 9:15 8:30 5:00 8:30 8:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 9:00 6:30 6:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 U 8:00 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:30 9:45 9:45 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 10:45 11:00 11:00 11:30 11:30 12:00 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:15 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 1:45 MONDAY Eastern War Time 8:30 Blue: Texas Jim 9:00 Blue: BREAKFAST CLUB 00 10 00 10 00110 CBS: Harvey and Dell CBS: Valiant Lady NBC: Bess Johnson CBS: Stories America Loves Blue: Helen Hiett NBC: Bachelor's Children CBS: Stepmother Blue: A House In the Country NBC: Help Mate CBS: Woman of Courage Blue: Chaplain Jim— U.
