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

52 So tung oil, one of the first aids in war, will be one among the first in peace. Continuing the methods now in use for war purposes, any kind of wood, properly treated, will be used as steel or as cork in the post-war Vvforld. Even so, tung oil will be used to protect and decorate the transformed wood. The name tung means heart. The name was given to the tree' because of its heart-shaped leaves. It is a beautiful tree, especially when in blossom. It does not in the least damage Florida's sub-tropical scenery, although the air roots of Spanish moss are never permitted to drape a graceful length of foliage across its limbs, for it is more valuable as a nut producer. This tree waves its heart-shaped leaves as messages of peace, thirtyseven feet high, and furnishes oil to smooth the difficulties of the world. Su/in^ December, 1945 It is an international tie, a growing olive branch. Dr. L. W. Chang, a graduate of the best institutions of learning in China, was sent by his government during the present year to study our tung-oil production. In a country of 400 miUion people, he explained, all college graduates and students are exempt from military service, unless they wish to volunteer. They are considered to be more valuable as leaders to reconstruct the country later on. Dr. Chang gave interesting radio talks while in this country. He visited the Federal Tung Oil Research Laboratory of Gainesville and the Tung Investigation Field Laboratory of the University of Florida. This capable student has returned to China with plans for increasing tung oil percentage derived from nuts from our twenty-eight per cent to ninety. Our boasted Yankee efficiency may be challenged.
