Description:
The official magazine of Kansas City's WHB radio station, SWING printed far more than the station's schedule (which, as the title SWING suggested, relied heavily on music). From 1945 to 1953, SWING offered readers something eclectic every month -- profiles of entertainers on one page, discussions of citizenship in the postwar world on the next, with write-ups of nightlife offerings in KC, Chicago, and New York mixed in. WHB spent decades lobbying the FCC for clear channel status; the magazine's ambitious scope may have been part of the station's attempt to legitimate itself. But it was SWING'S first editor, Jetta Carleton, who later wrote a celebrated novel, that gave the magazine its distinctive style. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

Have You Head Your Bible Lately? The story of the life of Christ holds perennial inspiration.

Governor Appeals for More Red Points for Wheat Belt Restaurants ..." Such headlines may be bad news for Kansas, but think what they mean in Missouri! Thousands of us Missourians never got a square meal except when we went to Kansas to the harvest. Yes sir, we looked forward to two things every year — Christmas and the harvest! And when we weren't eating fried chicken in Kansas we were dreaming about it and talking about it around the grocery store stove. Many's the winter evening spent exchanging stories about what Sunflower State farmer fed the best, and had the best looking kitchen help. The boys knew beforehand what farm wives couldn't cook or wouldn't cook or whether the farmer belonged to some sect that didn't believe in seasoning. And now they talk about harvest hands eating in restaurants and not having enough food. A few more headlines like that — and I can tell you, there won't be many "tourists" from my home state stopping in Kansas this year!
