Car for the Airwaves

Radio is to have a car. A sort Of
Judge Lands with time signals.
And maybe cash prizes.
Broadcasters, advertisers and in
dustry have formed a joint commit
tee to eliminate radio evils. It has
been decided to name head man
to clean things up. His first test will
be to prove he can start functioning
without q commercial.
''Radio today is far from per-
feet" syas one committeeman.
This is the understatement of the
generation.
Any and every industry has some
faults. But radio is the only one that
has subsidized and glamorized them.
The things that annoyed the public
in 1925 are still annoying it, but over
more networks and with more cash
prizes between exasperating mo-
mentS.
1t seems to have been the idea of
the sponsor and the advertising
agent that a commercial isn't ade-
quate unless it makes the ultimate
consumer writhe.
-
Study the commercial of 1925 and
of l947, and you will come to the
conclusion that it has merely grown
longer. And, worst of all, developed
a particularly annoying technique
through which the fellow spouting
the commercial leaps into the act
before the entertainer has fully
finished.
The radio man crashes in to
praise washing powder SO swiftly
he telescopes the news broadcaster.
The soloist doesn't finish her final
note before the guy with the tooth
paste spiel whams in from a rum
ming start.
How about some listeners on that
board, including some top showmen,
a couple of family people and the
guy who just split his radio into
pieces with a Ratchet?

Well, that score for nine means
close to 100 for 10 holes, and we re-

GIRL TROUBLE. THIS WEEKS apol-
ogies to Miss Gee Gee Engesser,
lovely blond lady who drives l6-
horse hitch in the Cole Brothers
Circus. We recently published her
picture on our cover and identified
her as Miss Ruth Nelson. This must
be pretty discouraging for girl who
has gone to all the trouble to learn
how to operate a l6-horse hitch.
Letters poured in from circus fans
and circus performers all over the
country. About the only person in the
circus world who did not write in
protest was Miss Gee Gee Engesser
herself. It's lucky for us that she is
such good-natured young lady -
we'd hate to have her call on our ed
itor with Is horsewhips.

TIMES CHANGE. 1t is believed that
in some Indian tribes, a mother named
her papoose for the first object she
noticed after its birth. Thus there are
many names like Running Horse,
Two Ravens, Eagle Feather.
ACalifornia reader writes that this
custom must explain the names of
couple of Indian youngsters he ran
across on a trip through Oklahoma.
One was Frank P-38 and the other,
Johnny Visiting Nurse.

Seniors this week started on the
last part of their activity for the
raising of funds for the annual ed
ueational trip of the graduating
class. Among projects the chief
one is the selling of greeting card
assortments for everyday use, in
cluding birthday and get well'
greetings. The cards have been
carefully selected for quality ana
attractiveness. Retailing at one
dollar per box, the cards offer a
very great bargain, as the assort-
ment would cost twice that. or
more, if the cards We're bought
separately.
All senior fund-raising activities
are entered into only after each
activity meets high requirements
and conditions, chief of which is
that every patron of such activities
must at all times be given full
value for every dollar spent.
Seniors are this week making a
final check on measurements for
caps and gowns for commencement
and are finishing their pennant de-

Many professional militarists look with

And of course fascism couldn't live for day,
in any land, without the protection of vast

SUPPORTERS OF FASCISM

Fascism does not just happen. Like all
other social organizations and movements, it
is man made A few leaders, at the top know
where they are going and how to get there
The great mass of early supporters do not
know the final aims and detectives of the
movement but are attracted by the propagan-
da, trappings and glamour of it. No fascist
leader ever holds public meeting that is not
carefully and deliberately staged, to produce
the effect he wants. Hitler came to power not
by oratory and logic, but by spectacular dis
play.
The first great public surge toward a
cooperative state,' is an inspired and clam
orous campaign Of nationalism. America
First was going full blast when World War
II crowded it off the front pages and little
investigation sent some of it's leaders to jail
The bogus super patriotism that had been
built up did march away to fight on a humid
red battle fields, but not for the cause Of fas-
cism. Now another campaign is being care
fully worked up. The next time Russia-the
most determinedly anti-fascist country in the
worlds to be Americas adversary, not it's
ally. Every Tory publication in the land is
busy chanting this refrain.
Fascism naturally attracts many different
groups of people and for many different rea-
sons. Those who are rich and powerful want
to hang on to their wealth and power. They
finance fascist movements to keep down the
