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

Today, everything is rising, fuel, wages, materials, prices, and it s just a matter of time until we are forced to increase our rates." A MAN with the capability, drive and initiative of Munsell inevitably is asked to assist in community activities. A few of them are: the Chamber of Commerce, American Royal Association, The Electric Association of Kansas City, Business District League of Kansas City, Mayor's Traffic Safety Educational Committee, Real Estate Board of Kansas City, Kansas City Centennial Association, Starlight Theater Association, Midwest Research Institute, Kansas City Conservatory of Music, Kansas City Art Institute, Kansas City Crime Commission, Quartermasters' Association, Foreign Trade Club of Greater Kansas City, Missouri, Association of Public Utilities, American Bar Association, Edison Electric Institute. Swing February, 1931 Munsell's background has probably been his greatest asset. The work he had to do while growing up, in high school and in college, has given him a rare insight into the minds of laboring men. He knows their feelings, their everyday struggle for existence, their hopes for security. And his background has shown him that you cannot become a success without hard work! "For ages, whenever young men get out of school, they have been told there was plenty of room at the top," he says. "There really is. I honestly believe there is more room at the top today than ever before. More businessmen are looking in their own companies, and in other companies, for top personnel to take over key jobs. There is plenty of room, but it takes work, hard work to get there. If you want to make good, you must get down to earth and wor\r' Getting back to mathematics for a moment, there's the story about Munsell's son, H. Burwell.
