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

ENCHANTED HILLS Vonderful new horizons are opened 'ty this recreational camp for blind children, by GLADYN CONDOR VACATION days are here, and most youngsters are throwing off Jie shackles of school to plunge into :he sunny weeks of adventure called summer. But the happy season holds ■ittle enjoyment for the child who is ^lind. His monotonous life continues, ilways dark, often lonely, generally :onfined to home. Imagine, then, what it means to blind, or even partially blind children to be given a summer camp all their own — with tent areas, a snug lodge with a large cheerful fireplace, a filtered swimming pool, a lake, a run' ning stream and forest trails — all under a canopy of blue sky and tall California redwoods. A real camp where horseback riding, hiking, boating, swimming, fishing and games of all kinds are the order of the day. Even its name. Enchanted Hills, causes the handicapped child to thrill vdth anticipation. But how can such a thing be possible? Isn't it dangerous to take blind children near such hazards? Is it possible to teach them these feats of sportsmanship? It's like asking a child to ride horseback, or learn to swim, or bat a baseball blindfolded. It seems almost fantastic. ROSE RESNICK, founder of the highly original and charitable project, knows that it can be done. Her own life, taken as an example of her personal determination and success, is abundant proof that she is capable both of accomplishing what she sets herself to do and of being an inspiration for others. Miss Resnick, blind from childhood, has refused to allow her personal handicap to interfere with happiness and success. Well-known as a pianist and lecturer, she received a B.A. from Hunter College and holds a general teaching certificate and master's degree from the University of Cali
