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

148 Su From girlhood, Ann has always been a painter — water color and oils. Out at Rancho Santa Fe in California in 1948, she persuaded Ray to attempt an oil painting — and he has pursued painting as a hobby ever since. His first primitive attempt hangs in their home, as does a view he painted later of the rail-fenced entrance to the Kansas City Country Club — a truly difficult problem in perspective, well done ! Another Hall hobby is the collection of paper-weights, of which they have a case-full in their living room. Many are quite rare — all are beautiful-— and the acquisition of each one is a reminder of some happy moment or occasion in their life together. When Ray was appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve, for example, Ann gave him a bouquet — in a paperweight. A ^"gfjTj a I fUq? THREE new University of Kansas City programs are now heard on WHB.
