HAVE YOU TUNED IN... Hap Hazard, on NBC-Red Wednesday nights at 7:30, Eastern Time, sponsored by S. C. Johnson and Son, Inc. Hap Hazard, as you may or may not know, is the new name of Ransom Sherman, who used to be master of ceremonies and head comedian of the NBC Club Matinee program. It's a name that fits him perfectly, because that's the way his life has been — haphazard, to say the least. When he was a kid he thought he'd be a violinist, but he gave that up when his finger got caught in a church door. Then he studied piano for a while, in spite of the injured finger — and dropped that in favor of the saxophone, which made more noise. He also played the bass fiddle for a while, but not very well. He sang the role of Nanki-Poo in an amateur production of "The Mikado," but his tenor sounded wrong even to himself. After he got out of college — several colleges, in fact: he was a freshman at Northwestern University, a sophomore at Michigan, a junior at Ripon and a senior at Lewis Institute— he thrashed around looking for a job and finally ended up as a song leader at banquets. It was fun but didn't pay much, and anyway he liked to travel, so he got into radio and immediately started traveling from one station to another. That was eighteen years ago. Rans — he has two nicknames. "Rans" and "Rancid," and responds to either — is forty-three now, and looks like a particularly humorless bank clerk. He writes all his own comedy, sitting at the typewriter and looking terribly bored. He likes to work at home because whenever he gets stuck he can quit and play with his two children, George and Ann, or putter around the house doing what he calls "mechanical horsing around" — wood work and inventing things which seldom, if ever, work. He takes life easily, and always sees the funny side of everything that happens. He says he might as well, since eventually time heals all wounds, so why not laugh at things to begin with? A pet pretense of his is that he's a very lazy fellow, and that he never thinks up a joke himself but always steals them from Joe Miller's joke book: but it's worth noticing that he works long hours writing, rewriting, and rehearsing, just the same. DATES TO REMEMBER October 30: Frank Fay does the second show of his new broadcast series tonight at 10:30 on NBC-Red. If you missed hearing him last week, now's your chance to catch up. November 20: This will be Thanksgiving Day for people in some States. Others will have to wait until next Thursday for their turkey. But in 1942, the President has announced, we'll all eat turkev the same day. 1:30 2:00 THURSDAY Eastern Time 8:30NBC-Red: Gene and Glenn 9:00 NBC-Blue: Breakfast Club 2:30, 9:15 CBS: School of the Air O 8:00 10:15 1:15 10:30 1:45 10:45 2:45 12:00 11:00 8:45 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:30 9:45 9:451 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 11:15 10:45 10:45 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:45 4:15 11:00 3:30 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45! 11:45; 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:30 12:45 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:151 1:30 11:00 11:00 11:00 11:15 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:30 3:30 9:45 CBS: Stories America Loves 9:45 NBC-Red Edward MacHugh 10:00 CBS Hymns of all Churches 10:00 NBC-Blue: Musical Millwheel 10:00 NBC-Red: Bess Johnson 10:15 CBS Myrt and Marge 10:15 NBC-Blue: Helen Hiett 10:15 NBC-Red Bachelor's Children 10:30 CBS: Stepmother 10:30 NBC .'-Blue: Clark Dennis 10:30 NBC-Red: Help Mate 10:45 CBS: Woman of Courage 10:45 NBC-Blue: Prescott Presents 10:45!NBC-Red: The Road of Life 11:00 CBS: Mary Lee Taylor ll:00j.NBC-Red: Mary Marlin 11:15 TBS: The Man I Married 11:15 NBC-Red: Pepper Young's Family 11:30 CBS: Bright Horizon 11:30 NBC-Blue: Richard Kent 11:30 NBC-Red: The Goldbergs 11:45 CBS: Aunt Jenny's Stories 11:45] NBC-Red: David Harum 12:00 ' I Kate Smith Speaks 12:00 MBS: John B.
