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

Ribbons Old man Brown made every moment pay on his big farm. One fine haying day he fell into the cistern and his wife hearing the splash came running. Poking her head over the rim she yelled, "That you Arthur?" "Yup," came the answer. "I just fell in." "Just hold your bosses!" she said, "I'll ring the dinner bell and get the hired men from the field to pull you out." "Wait a minute, Mary, what time is it?" "Just 11:30." "No, Mary don't ring the bell yet. Water's cool and not so bad. I'll just swim around till dinner time." One of two women riding on a bus suddenly realized she hadn't paid her fare. "I'll go right up and pay it," she declared. "Why bother?" her friend asked. "You got away with it — so what?" "I've found that honesty always pays," the other said, virtuously, and went up front to pay the driver. "See, I told you honesty always pays!" she said when she returned, "I handed the driver a quarter and he gave me change for fifty cents."
