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

The nightingale of the boudoir is a lonely, lonely man! And you Sleep Alone by JAY UTTAL T AUGH and the world laughs with l—i you. Snore — and you sleep alone, 1 like the record'shattering snorer in an army camp who had to be isolated so that his buddies could get some sorely needed rest. But if you are an offender, don't feel too bad about it; one-tenth of humanity snores, too, including Winston Churchill and the late President kFranklin D. Roosevelt. Just remember that many of the most famous figures in history have been on the list of midnight yodelers. That knowledge doesn't help the long-suffering wife, though, who tosses and turns in wide-awake helplessness while hubby emits nasal "noises. Nor is it of much comfort to the snorer who has trouble finding a roommate. Snoring is due to relaxation of the soft palate when a person is unconscious. Sound is produced by the vibration of the soft palate in its relaxed state. And what a sound! Looking at your throat in the mirror, you will see that the uvula hangs in the middle; on each side of it is a thin structure known as the soft palate. The underlying mucous membrane covering this structure is muscular tissue. When you are young, it is firm and taut; in later life it becomes flaccid and at ease. This condition would not be so troublesome if your snoring companion would keep his mouth closed,
