On the Air

It is hardly possible that you
have not been made aware in
recent weeks of a song entitled
"This Old House." It has been
fred at you over the air waves
from all objections, sung by ev-
erybody from Rosemary Clooney
to a man named Stuart Ham
blen.. It is entirely possible,
though, that you don't know very
much about Mr.. Hamblen, which
is too bad. You should know
more about him.
He Is the man who wrote This
Old House" and he probably is
the only unsuccessful presidential
candidate ever to land q tune
this high on the musical best
seller list. Mr.. Hamblen has been
In show business for more than
90 years, after starting out in
life as a school teacher.
The die was cast for him when
he entered an amateur contest
In Dallas to sing a tender ballad
called That ALI Go Hungry
Hash House Where ] Dine" The
500 prize he won was exactly
$3.50 more than he made each
month as q school teacher.

Education lost and broadcast
ing won Mr.. Hamblen. He turned
up shortly, back In the early
days of radio, to addition at Sta

collar. peg topped pants and a
jacket that had sleeves way up

called. He became furious when
he discovered that Don Wilson,
whowas conducting the audi.
ton. was nearly hysterical over
the Hamblen rendition of 1.-THE
Johnstown Flood" He was paci-
fed when Wilson asked him to
return later in the week to ap-
pear on KIT show.
"But / was ready to lay one
on him again." says Hamblen
now, when he told me to show
up in the same costume was

cooled of in time to appear,
however. and in no time at all
had his own program on KFWB
In Los Angeles His job there
lasted 81 years. 10 Of them for
the same sponsor.
"At the end Of my first week.
Hamblen relates, they gave me
q check for $50. Now in Texas,

to show you how green was, /
thought I was gettin' my salary
in advance because maybe they
thought needed clothes or rent
money. or somethin'. When I
got another check the next week.
I just kept quiet about it. Maybe
they had made a mistake. But
when the check came the third
week, 1t finally dawned on me
that / was maxim $500 a month.

"This Old House" was written
about four years ago when It's
author was returning from q
hunting trip in the high Sierras.

hound dog, just lyin' there. Now,
I'm hound dog man myself,

bark at all. So ! went into the
broken down shack, and there
was debris all over the floor and
cans that poor old dog had been
gnawin at. tryin' to find some
food And sure enough. when r
opened the bedroom door, there
was this old man. a prospector
guess, lyin' dead.
II rode back to town to get
the sheriff and took the old
hound dog with me. and while

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL) - We
must begin all over again to build
q better society from the remnants
of our bankrupt world. Our new
ideals must be meaningful, not
meaningless, meaningful Of con-
Germ for the many who have been
encouraged to grope in darkness.
Life can be a round Of torment or
triumph. 1t all depends on the
consciousness of the masses and
the intelligence of our leaders. To
be concerned more about getting
than giving is the downward way
of living. To break. with present
customers requires courage.
