Tune>ln Bulletin for August 30, September 6, 13 and 20! August 30: Ted Husing will be all over your CBS station today if his plans work out. He wants to broadcast the finish of the P.G.A. Golf Tournament from Hershey, Pa., then hurry to Forest Hills, N. Y., for the National Lawn Tennis matches. But whether he makes it or not, both events will be on CBS. September 6: Alec Templeton returns to the air tonight, replacing Quiz Kids on NBC-Red at 10:30. September 13: Another old favorite is back with us, beginning tonight — Robert "Believe It or Not" Ripley. He's on CBS at 10:30. September 20: Still another returning program proves that summer's over and another air season is under way — Kate Smith's variety hour, on CBS at 8:00. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Quii Kids, with Joe Kelly as master of ceremonies, on NBC-Red at 10:30 P.M., E.D.T.. and sponsored by Alka-Seitzer. Grant Wood, famous American artist, visited a Quiz Kids broadcast and remarked afterwards, "I've always known that some youngsters could ask impossible questions, but here are some who answer the impossible." Because this is a questlon-andanswer program in which children from 7 to 15 years of age do the answering. The questions aren't easy, either. Quiz Kids went on the air last June as a summer fill-in during Alec Templeton's vacation, and Alec will return on September 6 to take over the spot again; but the fill-in show has become so popular that the sponsors are thinking about keeping it on the air at another time. So if you're one of those who have been enthusiastic about it, don't be discouraged when it leaves the air — you may be hearing it again. A Chicago publicity man, Louis G. Cowan, conceived the idea of Quiz Kids. With Sidney L. James, a magazine editor, he gathered a group of intelligent children ond made a record of the program. Only o month later a sponsor, having heard the record, had the contract ready. The youngsters you hear on the program aren't unusual children. They have high intelligence ratings, true enough, but they aren't infant prodigies and they don't spend all their time studying. Girard Dor row, 7-year-old expert on plants and animals, showed up for a recent broadcast with a bonged-up knee, the result of a vacant-lot baseball gome. The children are nominated by listeners, then submit to a written examination and personal interviews by the program officials before being definitely chosen to go on the air. Every boy or girl who goes on the show gets a $100 Liberty Bond, and the three highest-ranking contestants are invited to appear again the following week. One youngster had been on five successive broadcasts when this story was written, and was still going strong, gathering in a Liberty Bond per week. Really difficult questions are taken in their stride by the children. For instance, can you answer this one? "If you have some vallisneria, combomba and sagittaria plants, where would you plant them?" Or could you "moke a candle, but not out of the usual animal fat?" The answer to the first is "In a fish bowl, because they are aquatic plants." The second: "Use a candlefish. It is a small fish of the smelt variety with oily flesh. It burns quite readily with little smoke and gives a good light." Warming-up sessions on Wednesday night before the broadcast get the children used to performing before a microphone, but a different set of questions is used when they are actually on the air. Joe Kelly, master of ceremonies and quizzer, admits that he learns something new from the kids every broadcast. SAY HELLO TO . 50 ARTHUR MANN — master of ceremonies on tonight's sports quiz on CBS, Choose up Sides. Arthur knows about all there is to know about sports today, but there was a time, when he was a youngster, that the rest of the kids used to tell him he could ploy all nine innings of a ball game in right field. He didn't find out for a long time that he was also entitled to a turn at bat. Besides learning about sports, Arthur has been on artist, actor, cartoonist, police reporter, drama critic, and writer for radio and magazines. He's married, and lives with his family on a farm which he tries hard to make self-supporting. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR ^^
