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

DO RIGHT BY YOUR DOG 133 he grows bigger, move the newspaper into the yard, and you'll find habit leading the puppy to it. Immunisation against distemper is the most essential veterinary treat' ment you can give your dog. Every dog should be given these shots by the time he is three months old and preferably the "puppy shots" before that time^ — to ride him over until he is old enough for the permanent shots. "See your vet when in doubt," is a good rule to adopt when you give your heart to a puppy. Fits, attacks of hysteria, worms, all these are things for your vet. Good care, love and loyalty, kindness and understanding — all these are things you owe that puppy who will become one of the finest friends you will ever have. So — come at him with hand upturned and coming upward toward his neck. He will love that kind of petting, where he can see your hand and know where it is going to touch him. The tone of voice will convey your message to your pup; so keep it low and unexcitable. Don't show him off to all the neighbors and friends until he has become acquainted with you. That serves a dual purpose; he must know who his master is, and the neighbors' and friends' dogs may be distemper carriers. These are little things compared to the big comfort and pleasure your puppy will bring you when he becomes that fine old dog, your best friend who knows you as well as you know yourself. Your old dog who has traded fire and style for dignity and pride. Your old dog, who has a little trouble with his ears, his eyes, or his hearing. Your old dog : your sweet and dependable and happy companion who will never let you down. But you must get that puppy now to have that old dog later! Get that puppy and do right by your dog! In Georgia, a man stopped at a small town garage and told the mechanic, "Whenever I hit 70 there's a knocking in the engine." The mechanic gave the vehicle a lengthy examination, and after much testing, wiped the grease from his hands and drawled, "I don't see nothin' wrong, mister. It must be the good Lord a-warning you." It was a little girl's first day at school and the teacher was making out her registration card. "What is your father's name?" asked the teacher. "Daddy," replied the child. "Yes, I know, but what does your mother call him?" "She doesn't call him anything. She likes him." 'I have tobacco in mine."
