Exp, No. 252 IOWA EDITION Another indication of where WHBF- TV stands nationally as well as locally was given clearly last month. Manager Leslie G. Johnson was appointed chairman of the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters’ Employer-Employee Relations Com¬ mittee. Ted Beinart, newsman at WTVO, is another of the Iowa TV personalities capable of making news as well as reporting it. Ted, who raced motor¬ cycles w'hile in the Marine Corps dur¬ ing World War 2, just won his second consecutive trophy in a special news¬ men’s stock car race at the Rockford Speedway. Driving a 1940 Plymouth owned by the Speedway, he outraced two newspapermen and two other Ch. 39 staff members in a five-car, five- lap classic. Ted’s trophy was a crash helmet, awarded him during one of his own newscasts. Rockford’s Barney Oldfield is on Monday through Friday at 6 and 10 P.M. Newcomers in the Ch. 4 continuity department include Mrs. Nancy Gera- manis and Mrs. Irene Draper. Also high school junior, Harriet Garriot, helping out afternoons and Saturdays and getting a good insight into what makes a TV station go ’round. Big winner of that all-expenses-paid trip for two to the Rose Bowl in the recent WMT-TV drawing at the Dairy Cattle Congress in Waterloo is Miss Leona Koch of Stanwood, la. The drawing was simulcast over WMT ra¬ dio and Ch. 2 for an exciting five minutes. Miss Koch and her sister will board a United Air Lines plane Dec. 31, fly to Los Angeles, stay at the Hollywood Knickerbocker Hotel, at¬ tend the Rose Bowl game and Tourna¬ ment of Roses, spend five days sight¬ seeing and fly back to Cedar Rapids. All that, just for writing her name on a small blank and letting Lady Luck do the rest! With the Cedar Rapids Junior League inspiring the plan, the Uni¬ versity of Iowa held a two-day TV clinic in October to show service or¬ ganizations how to use television suc¬ cessfully. The League is planning several TV shows this winter. Among the “professors” at the clinic was KCRG-TV news director, Dick Yoakam. With Daylight Saving Time over, many local as well as network shows have moved. Check all your favorites in TV Guide! O WMT-TV (CBS) .Cedar Rapids, la. Q KWWL-TV (NBC).Waterloo. la.
