sure that each number blends into
the general theme of the indi-

Oh, yes. and she has to answer

musical minded Washingtonians.
Il heard a rumba on WMAL Tues

the reply. "Oh. no. you couldn't
have insists the caller. Il re-
member distinctly it was at that
time on your station. Or was 1t
Thursday on WOLF"
And the ones like this Can you
tell me the name of this song? It
goes da da da, tum de tum da."
Edith will try her best to answer
them all; even gave a Commute
discourse on swing to one caller
who couldn't understand what it
was. But even she had no answer
for the lady who said Music de-
partment? You had trunk ad-
vertised in the paper. Is it sold

The Balzers, he musical, she

The boys, now 10 and 13, are as
evenly divided on music as their

other is musically talented. Sum-

Otherwise, Edith's spare time Is
divided between painting (the kind
you do with a very wide brush)
and rug braiding. She works on

never has to want for either with

Besides, the Balzers have an
enormous collection of their own

The famous Harry Conovel
career girl course believes that
a womans voice can make her
charming to others or can have an
irritating and repelling effect. The
pupils there are given a lot OF
training to improve their speak
ing voice.
Here are some of the things
they are taught. You can try
these on yourself:
/. Your tone of voice and choice
Of vocabulary are major factors
by which others determine your
background. The points to strive
for in obtaining your best voice
personality" (not just for use at
parties but constantly are:
A. A clear, pleasing tone.
B. Accuracy OF diction and pro-
nunciation.
C. Good grammar and vocab-
ulary,
The most common voice tone
faults are:
/. A too soft, fiat. monotonous
tone.
2. One which is too nasal or
shrill.
One test to discover whether
or not your voice tone is correct
is-talk in your normal speaking
voice while standing or sitting
straight, and press your hand
against your upper chest. If you
feel no vibration under your hand
you are probably talking through
your nose with a poor tone and
are breathing incorrectly. Vibra-
ton in your chest shows proper
voice pitch and breathing.
3. Try saying. "A lazy lily lay
along the lonely lane" 1nhale
through your nose and exhale
through your mouth while repeat

Why Grow Old?

ing this phrase. Try pitching it
out across the room.
4. When practicing various
speech and voice exercises exag-
gerate the movement of the lips.
This helps enunciation and also
tightens up the muscles about the
mouth. These sag so easily.
Here are some more simple
voice. lip and diction exercises:
/. The big black cat ate a big
black rat.
2. The sinking steamer sunk.
3. Have faith and trust in those
you love.
4. Be proud to be you.
Hope you have fun with
these! I am!

Edith Balzer is the music direc-
tor for Stations WMAL. and
WMAL-TV. Now that immedi-
ately conjures up visions of some
one standing in front of giant
size orchestra waving a baton.
In Edith's case, however, she is
more apt to be standing in front
of a roomful of record albums
waving filing card over them.
Being music director of large
radio and television station means
you have to know an awful lot
about filing system and copyrights
and law. Actually. you don't have
to know a thing about music. 1t
helps, of course, if you do. but it
isn't necessary.
Edith is one of the few feminine
music directors around the coun-
try and she thinks she may be the
only one in Washington at this
counting. At any rate, she and
her assistant, June Hall Sonnen-
berg, are the only female team ex-
tant. It just seems to be one OF
those positions traditionally, and
for no other reason, male. AS far
as the physical side of the job is
concerned, it's no harder than
working in a record store.
Actually, Edith could be called
more descriptively than anything
else a music librarian. Which is a
funny coincidence, because she
actually majored in library science
in college with the intention OF be-
coming a public librarian. How
she came to be involved with pho
nograph records instead of books
is just one of those peculiar quirks
of fate that make life so excit-
ingly unplannable.
Edith attended the Women's
College of the University of North
Carolina. That's her home State.
She came up North to Washington
to visit her sisters who were work
ing here. Met one Fritz Balzer the
used to be violinist with the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestral, they
fell in love and were married.
Went to work with him at WRC.
He's music director there!
When the Blue Network became
the American Broadcasting Co.
and WMAL was thus severed from
NBC, Edith moved downstairs
flight in the Trans-Lux Building
to set up q separate music depart
ment for them. She was supposed
to hold the job for six weeks
That was, let's see. in 1912.
Edith's ambiguously named po-
sition was complicated enough
when it entailed only radio work
Television has doubled its COM
plexion. For one thing, Edith has
to have clearance on every piece
of music that's played on WMAL's s
many musical programs. Some
tunes have restrictions of one sort
or another on them-they can be
played only after a certain date
or on certain programs or a hun
dred other "ors." Television ha:
added a new one. Some music
can be used as a background score
or incidentally in a TV play plot
but not in any way that woulc
make it's presentation a musica
production, because then that
would infringe on the New York
musical production in which the
piece is also used, albeit staged
differently. See?
And don't think the wrong use
of a three minute song or its pres
entation before its release date is
q minor mistake. A fancy lawsuit
could be the consequence.
Then Edith has to plan the Sc

The dealer the reader spoke OF
was right, because: 1. In my case
the garden tractor moves too slow
to cover much lawn. 2. I cannot
get into corners or around bushes,
even though the tractor is small.
3. Detaching the handle from the
conventional lawn mower and at
taching the mower part to the
tractor and vice versa takes too
much time. OF course. the tractor
