guilds were organized. There
are now 65 such groups with
an active membership of 27.-,
600. They include farmers,
housewives, businessmen, la
borers. teachers and artists.
The schools in the area pitched
in and donated $4,000.
For the campaign this fall
the station Is gathering a shock
force Of 10000 volunteers who
will go from door to door talk
ing educational TV. To become
q member Of a guild and a
sponsor Of WQED all one has
to do Is contribute two dollars.
The first step in starting
WQED was taken April /, 1851,
when Mayor David l.. Lawrence
called a meeting of the heads
of IA colleges and universities
to explore the possibilities of
having an educational T'V sta
tion here. They thought it was
q good idea.
A statement was sent to the
FEC asking that an education
al channel be reserved for the
metropolitan Pittsburgh. The
area was fortunate enough to
receive one on o frequency
which could be received on
standard equipment.
Building Is Reody
Three charitable funds then
contributed $350.00O for build
ing and equipping the station.
But WQED still faced q re-
curing financial profile m:
where to get the money for its
yearly $3.50, 900 operating ex-
penses. The guilds were or
ganized and the 500 school
districts In the 10-county area
were asked to contribute 80
cents per student a year.
People began dipping into
their wallets and cookie jars
and the money started to roll
in.

The station also draws on

Dante. WQED already has
televised how to give puppies q
bath, q performance Of
Brahms Sonata in A Major,
an evaluation Of confession

everything from electronic cal

On September ~ the station
will begin a series Of programs

The Passing Show

The first week In September
Is a kind of revolving barstool
set In the floor Of time. It is
a convenient point from which
to take q whirling glance
around the vista Of the fading
summer and the inevitably
more attractive one Of the
dawning autumn.
The fact Is that at no other
season are man and meterology

as summers end. The calen-
dar. Of course, gives it Is more
days Of honorable life and the
legislators of daylight saving
time are even more generous.
These latter this syear have
chosen September Is as the
date Of return for the hour
they stole from the clocks last
April.
In no sphere Of human &C
tivity Is summers end on La
Dor Day more readily accepted
than In the theater.
Tokeoff Time
It is the point Of takeon for
the new season with all the
excitement implicit In that
gesture. The scene Of takeo1
here, Of course. will be the
parent legitimate house. the
National where Robert Ander-
sons "All Summer Long" opens
tomorrow night.
1t will make no difference
there, then. that the tempera-
ture may be as high as on
many nights during mid-sum-
mer. (This department has
no notion what the tempera-
ture actually will be, Of
course). It is an occasion for
crispness. Of alertness in ap-
preaching the new and un-
tried. and therefore the pos
sibly great, adventure.
This is the difference, the
principal one, between the
summer and the non-summer
drama. The former represents
the tried and the familiar; the
latter the new, strange. and
inevitably more hopeful. The
summer theater has had one

Winter drama Is the symbol
Of another attitude. It is slow

It Is serious, even when its
theme is the most outrageously
comic. It represents playing for
high stakes, especially in a
time when a one-set play

Hints For Her


THIS WEEK WE GIVE special
attention to milady and our advise
is GUARD AGAINST PREMATURE
LINES IN FINE TEXTURED DRY
SKIN :. Even young beauties are
well advised to stand on guard
against premature lines and wrin-
kles radiating from the outer cor
ners fthe eyes and around the
lips. Such fine lines appear quite
soon, particularly if the skin is
dry =. With the skin on the dry
side, even the early twenties isn't
too soon to begin giving tbs area
nightly lubricating massage with
baby lotion With the tips
of the fingers smooth the baby To-
ton around the cheeks under the
eyes and around the mouth area.
Work the baby lotion into the skin
using firm blu tgentle touch. It's
good idea to leave it on overnight
so the creamy white emulsion can
keep on working while you sleep.
- This pleasantly scented lotion has
two other uses, too. When you find
hands betting rough or dry, try this
as sofetening hand lotion. Or,
when you're getting ready to step
out in the evening, bit of baby
lotion brushed over the eyebrows,
will give them siken sheen that
spells after dark glamour.
