dustry Out Of Shadows q n d
Sound" from to 7:15 p. m. to
night over the Columbia Broad
casting network and WMAL.
This talk will be one Of the "Ro'
nance of American Industry" Sc
rieS conducted by the Columbia
Broadcasting System.
This fellow, Tony, who lugs his
ecrapbook UP to the Columbia
mike" at GAS each night; an odd
personality, who makes me some
times wonder if he wouldn't have
made a good actor. Who Is he?
His name isn't Tony. It Is An
thony when all spelled out, and
onto that is tackled an identity
ing surname-Wons. The impor-
tant thing to remember, however,
is that no matter what his name
is, Tony has perhaps used up
more paste than any other man
living. He has spent the most OF
his life pasting things into scrap
bookS-poetry, anecdotes, stories
Most people soon get tired Of cut
ting things out and paSting them
in books. But Tony is still at It.
AS happy as can be-and a little
serious at the same time. The
truth Is, that his own career Is
very much like the mass of things
he collects and then sends out on
his regular program, over the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System.
Tony was born in MenaSna,
wis. His diversion is building
houses, and the tables and chairs
that 90 in them. He made his
own summer home in the tall
timberS, near Lake Superior. He
is downright and analytical. He
will preach at you If he gets
the chance. Gets intense over
social inequalities. Gets rhapsodic
over tomatoceS-"luSciouS, juicy,
red tomatoes" Has a fine edi.
torial conception of the value of
his material, proved by the fact
that there are already four pub
lished editions Of the scrap, book
another coming, His spiritual
vigor recalls pages in John Dos
PasSoS. His listeners regard him
as an oracle; ask him questions
about health, stocks, marriage
and books. And every time
there Is question about a
book, if he has it, he gives it
away. So his library is disap-
pearing. Tony fumbles contin.
ually in his pocket while at the
mike" He wanted to be an
actor, likes chocolate creams and
IL a likeable evangelist of the air.
