PLAIN CITY BOY
WRITTEN UP
CONTINUED from page II

Ohio branch of the Barlows and
the family lumber and furniture
business.
Howard was a school boy when
his family moved from Plain City
first to Urbana, o., and later to
Denver, Colo. His family was the
first of the Barlows to move. He
doesn't remember his great-grand-
father, the original settler, but his
grandfather, Edwin E. Barlow, he
described as "a very rawboned,
hearty, lusty man. My grand
mother was as tiny as my grand
father was huge"
Howard's father was cashier in
the First National Bank of Plain
City befor moving to Portland,
Ore, where he opened a branch
of the lumber and furniture busl-
ness. Although his father loved
music and to sing, it was from hls
Pennsylvania Dutch mother that
Howard traces his musical inherit
ance. She taught him his first
music. Mrs. Barlow as Nettie
Durham, went from Covington,
o., Normal School to Plain City
as a school teacher. There she
met Howard's father When their
son was born they named him
after his fathers best friend in
Plain City, Howard Black.
Even after the family had left
Plain City, Howard spent all his
summers there with a farmer
friend of his family until he was
agrown boy.
In Denver, Howard's high school
music teacher was Wilberforce j.
Whiteman, father of the famous
Paul. After completing his Denver
school education, Mr.. Barlow went
to the University of Colorado,
Reed College in Oregan and won
4 graduate scholarship to Colum-
bia University.
His tastes were beginning to
turn in the direction of orchestral
conducting when World War l
came and he enlisted in the armed
service. Upon his release, how
ever, he began to establish him

radio when he inaugurated the

Among the other important
radio programs conducted by Bar
