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

FINANCIAL GUIDE FOR 1945 A Pattern for Designing Young Females Every citizen who has reached the Age of Discretion (variously estimated at 21 to 9i''>) has some vague idea of the "base pay" of Army and Navy personnel. But it is a vague idea — "you know, he'll make $250 a month, plus sufnpinorother for subsistence, plus somepinorother for being overseas and gosh, I don't know what else." SWING believes that a passci of folks (and particularly narrow-eyed young minxes putting price tags on eligible M/S Whoozitz and dashingly eligible Lt. (j g. ) Whatsitz would like to see the rank and file expressed in S and t. Wherewith, SWING does just that.
