It was . long. roundabout road
that brought Dick Tanning to the
ranks Of the area disc jockeys.

II grew up when radio grew up"
Dick says Of his early days. IT got
interested in radio as . wee shaver
but Il was mostly in the technical
end OF things. The announcing
angle didn't enter into my am
bitiOns."
Az Q boy, Dick buflt his own ra-
do set. and in after school hours
he did field work with radio en-
gineers in the area. He learned
more about the technical end OF
the new industry by working at an
amateur radio station in nearby
Westfield. Mass.
But even with this as q starter,
Dick got sidetracked from the ra-
do world while he was still in high
school.

taking more of q part in it---read-
ing their own requests. dancing. or
just standing around watching.
Finally" Dick says. sit got too
big for one man to handle. We'd
have almost 200 kids coming In
and we were dragging them on
the window sills and out Of the
turntables. so we had to stop it."
But Dick hopes the station will
start another teen show soon.
You're really close to your
listeners then, and get the most
enjoyment when I'm in close con-
tact with my audience"
Then he adds:
I'D like to settle down and spe-
cialize in one kind of program.
You can be q Six-handed octopus
just so long. think a good teen
show is something I'd really enjoy
doing"

in high school I was taking q lot
Of time on travelling around New
England playing in bands" he says.
In 1o4l. Dick was badly injured
in an automobile accident. MY
right arm and jaw got all mashed
up and when I got out Of the
hospital I had to teach myself to
play the horn all over again" he
says.
While he was struggling through
the long process Of relearning the
sax, Dick worked in q music store
and q war plant. He then went
back o nthe road with AL Donahue's
band. playing service hospitals all
through the East, Midwest and
South.

to play it in q woodshed.
That was the beginning Of Dicks
long detour.
About his second year in high
school. Dick says. he discovered
he could make more money in one
night playing the saxophone than
he could make in q week working
in the radio shops.
The first thing I knew I got
some offers to play with bands in
the summers. and it gradually
spread so that by my senior year

Knew Jazz Greats

Then came q period when Dick
played with hotel bands, first in
Chicago. where he used to sit in on
jam sessions with some of the jazz
greatS-Red Allen, Jay Higgenbot-
tam and Ben Webster. Later he
came to Washington.
It was here in 1916 that the tan
musician decided it was time to set
tie down in one place. So, for i've
years he worked as a radio and TV
repairman while playing in hotel
bands at night, until in 1851 he
heard about q job at Station WEAK.
Then it was back to radio.
Dick is the Virginia stations chief
engineer and librarian in addition
to holding down the late afternoon
and evening hours on the air. He
is emcee for the 4:3O-to-5:30 pm.

SCOUTING DIscovERIE,
BY GEORGE FLYNN

A Silver Spring couple for
IS years has been pursuing
o rare avocation. They're
antique scouts.
The word scout" always
carries with it connotations
of courage, mystery and in
dividualism. because the
scout ventures into unex-
plored territory alone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leon v.
Leonard agree these quail
ties are rife in their field. but
add that persistence and q
knowledge of the human
mind help out, too.
Music students in Roches-
ter. N. Y, when they met
nearly 80 years ago, the
couple has devoted spare
hours and week ends to
turning up pieces of early
Americana that had never
seen the inside of an antique
shop.
For several years, they
operated shops in Rochester
and New York. but confess
they were negligent shop
tenders, preferring the thrills
of the chase to the satisfac-
ton of sales.
Their sales, instead. have
been made to dealers and to
individual collectors in spe-
cial fields with whom they
have become acquainted over
the years.
Simple Equipment
Their equipment has con-
sisted simply of a station
wagon. a thermos bottle and
a lunch basket.
Their targets have been
"the uninviting road. the out
of-the-way place, the good
but rundown old homes. +"
Until three years ago. when

Would Switch Smaller
Than Legal Lots for
School and Park Land

If developers were permitted to
construct houses on smaller-than-
required lots in subdivisions they
would contribute school and park
land for public use, Carl Freeman,
Bethesda developer and chairman
of the county's Builders Techni-
cal Advisory Committee, told the
County Council Tuesday.
Under his plan developer could
build houses on lots smaller than
required by the zoning ordinance
if an area equal to the square
footage saved was dedicated to
