flax up to a good stand almost
ready to boot out. He has a hen

REFUGIO TIMELY REMARKS, Feb. 10, 1949—Page 3
I
DID YOU KNOW that in 1948 radio listeners received over $4,000,000'
in cash on network give-away programs? If you didn’t get your share!
of the loot, better listen more carefully to those free-mohey programs* i
. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ;
RADIO FUNSTERS come up with some dillies.
From Lum ’n’ Abner:
LUM: You shorely knows what a subdivision is?
ABNER: Oh shore. A subdivision is a cow pasture with utilities Jill
the middle and a mortgage on top.
* * * * *
WEATHER AND THE FARMER are tied together in a radio pro-;
gram, Columbia’s “Country Journal” (1:00-1:30 P. M. Saturday, Feb. 12,'
KTRH) when Charles B. Carney of the United States Weather Bureatti
in Washington is interviewed by Don Lerch, director of the program.
Incidentally, Don Lerch broadcast his Feb. 5th program from the Hous-
ton Fat Stock Show in Houston, the broadcast going to the entire!
country over the facilities of CBS. '/
$$$$:£ ■ '; v: '•bAd
THE NATION’S TOP TUNES right now include A Little Bird Told!
Me, Buttons and Bows, on a Slow Boat to China, Far Away Places and'
My Darling, My Darling. Speaking of Top Tunes, disc jockeys are-
credited with carrying the bell for the entire phonograph record indus-j
try. They say that the amount of play given to records by the spinners!
determines the success or failure of the record. If that’s so, songstress:
Dinah Shore must be the sweetheart of the record-announcers. She was1
recently named number one favorite of radio editors, columnists and!
critics.
* * * *
HEARD ON Friday nights on NBC (KPRC, Houston; WFAA, Dallas;!
WOAI, San Antonio) are a line-up of name programs which would make'
a nice name for firm of international lawyers: Durante, Cantor ,Skelton,;
Riley and Stern. Quite a line-up, that one.
* * * * * r
_ TEXAS AND LOUISIANA listeners prefer folk music, mostly old- j
time dance type. That’s the result announced by a recent survey of!
listeners in this area. Popular music stands pretty high on the list, too,!
but from the replies to the questions, it seems you good folks don’t!
care too much for classical programs. On with the dance.
* # * ❖ * " . A
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, here is a prize laugh from the Morey!
Amsterdam show:
AUNTIE: They loaned you a thousand dollars and you have to pay!
back seven thousand nine hundred dollars?
AMSTERDAM: Well, don’t forget, they gave me a calendar, too.
* * * * *
RADIO NEWSCASTERS in Texas saved hundreds of thousands of!
dollars worth of livestock and farm-produce during the recent freeze;
with timely warnings. Ever stop to think how big a part radio plays’
in your life ? Besides emergencies, you get entertainment, information,:
education via the air waves. Of course, a reader points out, radio has;
done harm in some cases, too. For instance, the late unlamented Adolph;
Hitler couldn’t have stolen half a continent, the way he did, without
radio to carry his voice to millions of people. That’s bad. Radio has a'
big responsibility in keeping the hate-peddlers off the air waves.
* * * * Sjc
NOW THAT ELECTIONS are over for a while, it’s nice to know that!
your favorite program won’t be cancelled for a speech. Haven’t heard;
from Mr. Dewey in some time now. See you next week.
