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

Look to Your Freezer New and wonderful uses for this cold Horn of Plenty. by JEANNE HOMM ANN CARSON sank wearily into a chair, pushed an unruly shock of hair from her eyes and breathed an enormous sigh. From behind half -closed lids she surveyed the bedlam— color books and blocks, toys and crayons, kitchen pans and playing cards littered the living room floor. Jimmy, her two-year-old, had spent the entire morning indoors. When he decided at last to frolic outside, Ann had seized the time to wash the stack of dishes from breakfast and lunch; managed, somehow, to clean upstairs, and had just finished hanging up a formidable washing. "I'll have to straighten up this room before Charlie comes home," she mused dazedly. "Then there will just be supper, the dishes, and put Jimmy Jeanne Homm is Director of Home Eci to bed. Then I can relax — thanks to my freezer." Before she got a home freezer, Ann couldn't have looked forward to the post-supper relaxation ! A large bundle of clothes lay dampened for three days, and, without a freezer, they must be ironed tonight or run the risk of mildew. But now Ann could spend a restful evening with Charlie, read, sew, or just plain sleep. Her dampened clothes reposed in the freezer, and they could stay there for months — or until the family ran out of clean clothes — until she found time and energy to iron. Storing clothes for future ironing is but one of many jobs Ann has learned can be done with a freezer that have little to do with food freezing. The homemaker expects her freezer to save coo\' ing time because she can store prepared meals for months and have only to heat them when mealtime arrives. She expects her freezer to save money because she can buy food in quantity mics. International Harveater Company.
