COVER STORY The KMA GuideAcross the crowded airways comes a

scintillating new personality to KMA. Asyou can see by our Guide cover picture, herattractive personality is matched by hergood looks.

She is none other than Michelle Badoutwell-known in radio circles on the eastcoast and a welcome guest in the midwest.Her cooking prowess and knowledge werepolished at the famous Cordon Bleu inParis, France, which she attended and alsoanother Parisian school, L'Ecole des TroisGourmandes, which incidentally was found-ed by Julia Child, TV cook. After return-ing to the United States, Michelle con-sulted with Michael Field and his cookingexperts at his exclusive Manhattan schoolin New York City.

Lest you feel our guest will only discussfabulous French culinary art, Michellecomes to the Midwest with many otherqualifications. She was born and reared ona farm in southern Missouri where shehelped with the home chores in a family often children. So you can see she is nostranger to the problems facing KMA landhomemakers. After winning many prizesand awards in 4-H and later at the Mis-souri State Fair, she decided to obtain em-ployment to pay for future training in thehome economics field. This work led her toradio and later to France to school. Wel-come Michelle to the wide -world of KMAwhere your sophisticated knowledge basedon down-to-earth experience will be alistening pleasure.

Fidel Castro has a very simple systemfor keeping the backing of his people: Hepromises them something and then when hecan't deliver he blames this country, thenpromises them more. So far it has worked.

Many girls are now getting men's wages,but then haven't they always ?

Some girls don't want to marry go-getters; they're looking for already-gotters.

Happiness is discovering that the longhaired character with the beads thatdaughter went out with is a girl friend.

A Chat With

Edward May

After a long, cold winter, spring finallyarrived, and I don't recall when a springwas welcomed by so many people. With thearrival of warmer weather, our thoughtsturn to the out-of-doors and scratchingaround in the yard. This means studyingthe seed catalogues and finally decidingwhat to plant.

Recently I saw a nice article about seedcatalogues and I would like to share withyou some of the thoughts contained in thearticle.

Have you ever thumbed through a seedcatalogue and started to daydream ? As Ilooked at the pictures of those gay coloredflowers, they reminded me of people Iknow or observe every day.

The roses, so beautiful with their softvelvety petals, ranging in color from crim-son to pure white, were the people whodress with faultless taste, are always wellgroomed and fun to be around, except thatsometimes, like the roses, they prick uswith thorns of sarcasm, ridicule or criti-cism.

Carnations, though sturdy, strong, everyday kind of flowers, could be the youngmothers who go about their daily work withno fanfare, ministering to their familieswith love and understanding.

And hyacinths could be the older moth-ers, round, plump, sweet ones, with all thesharp corners worn off.

The snapdragons, because of their name,would have to be the knit pickers we meetso often. What an unhappy crowd they are,snapping at everyone who touches them.

Next were the gladiolus, such strongstalwart flowers. They remind one of peo-ple who never lean upon any one but standalone. We often speak of them as "bornleaders;" fine, wonderful people they are,except that sometimes, if they can't leadthe parade, they refuse to march. Thingscan get complicated when too many ofthem get together.

Then there were so many others-gay,yellow daffodils, happy people with sunnydispositions and even temperaments; brightred poppies, courageous people, who keeptheir heads high in the face of adversity,who minimize their own troubles, and tryto help with the problems of others. To-ward the back of the catalogue were adsgiving sure-fire methods for getting rid ofdandelions.

I closed the book wondering just whichflower I resembled. Most of us could finda trace of ourselves in several of them, butit is comforting to know that although wemay sometimes show our thorns or snap-pish tempers, even be a nuisance like thedandelion, we do not need to remain static.A rose cannot be changed into a carnationor a snapdragon into a lily, but our naturescan be changed. We can weed out thetraits that destroy our usefulness and culti-vate the strength and beauty that will for-ever blossom. Quite a wonderful seed cata-logue, isn't it?

Mrs. Earl May Home from HospitalThe picture you see on this page is a

most recent picture of my mother, Mrs.Earl May. I am happy to report she is home

and feeling fine after spend-ing nearly six weeks in theShenandoah hospital as theresult of a combination of abroken arm and an injuredknee. To me, she is truly theflower of the May catalogue,and is a combination of arose, a carnation, snap-dragon, hyacinths, and theother flowers mentioned inthe article.

My thanks to the articleentitled, "The Growing Sea-son," by Margaret Troutt,which was printed in theMarch, 1964, issue of TheChristian Herald.

April, 1969 3

By the time you are reading this, springwill probably have arrived. But at the timeI am writing this, in the middle of March,there are certainly no signs whatever ofanything even remotely resembling spring.The ground is still solidly frozen and thereare still snow banks on the north sides andin protected areas, and our river is stillsolidly frozen over. This is one time whenthe Ground Hog certainly knew what hewas talking about when he predicted onFebruary 2 that we would have six weeksmore winter. Well, the six weeks will be upon St. Patrick's Day, with spring due toarrive officially a few days later.

Be that as it may, a good many thou-sands of our customers are very optimisticabout the whole thing. At any rate theyare ordering tremendous quantities of gar-den and flower seeds, bulbs, rose bushes,and various items of nursery stock. As thepicture this month very clearly shows, thisis the final operation in filling a customer'sorder for garden seeds. In other words, put-ting on the proper amount of postage justbefore the package goes to the post office.That long box -like affair at the right sideof the picture, extending back into the dis-

4

tance, is really a conveyor belt, nearly twofeet wide, which brings the packages up tothe scales to be weighed and properlystamped. The girl doing the stamping isEdna Ahrens, a long-time member of theGarden Seed Department crew. At the ex-treme left of the picture you can see LindaPontious engaged in filling a customer's or-der from the racks of seed in front of her.Over in the background, just out of the pic-ture, are the wrappers who are puttingeach order in the proper size box, tapingthe box shut, and pasting on the label; afterwhich the box is dropped on the conveyorbelt to be brought up to the stamp table.

When you send in an order, everythingyou want can be put on one sheet. The girlsin the General Office will copy off the partcalling for Rose Bushes, Fruit Trees, orShrubs and that part is held until plantingtime. The original order then goes up tothe Garden Seed Department so that theseeds can be sent at once.

In addition to the usual heavy run of mailorder business, which is expected at thistime of year, you would be surprised at theactivity in the stores already. Lots of peo-ple make out their order at home, theselong winter evenings, and then the firsttime they are going to town for somethingelse they drop by the Earl May Store andpick up their garden seeds at the sametime. We are very glad that they do it thisway because it stretches out the season sothat we don't have so much of a grand andglorious rush when warm weather finallycomes. In fact, every catalog has two orderblanks stapled in the center for this verypurpose. Another good reason for makingout your order ahead of time is the factthat it gives you time to study the catalogand read up on the newer and better varie-ties which are being introduced every year.Without such a list made out ahead of time,you might pass by some of these newer andbetter things when you are picking outwhat you need. Yes, for many years nowthe Earl May Stores have been Self -Servelike a dime store.

If you didn't get the Dormant Spray onthe fruit trees yet, I think there is still

plenty of time as it can goon anytime before the budsstart to open out. Ordinarily,we like to do this the last ofFebruary or the first ofMarch, but the season is al-most three weeks late, so inmost areas the buds wouldstill be completely dormant.Use liquid lime sulphur atthe rate of one part to eightparts of water. Then useHome Orchard Spray accord-ing to the directions on thebox. In either case, do a thor-ough job using plenty ofspray and don't forget tostock up on Bug Dust. Youmay need it.

The KMA Guide

I had the pleasure of interviewing BillHouse, President of the American NationalCattlemen's Association recently, and hesaid some things that interested me verymuch. I guess they interested many otherstoo judging by the comments I receivedabout the story.

Mr. House has been a spokesman in thecattle industry now for several years andhas a way of putting thoughts so that peo-ple really take notice and listen. He oper-ates a ranch near Cedar Vale, Kansas, soknows the cattleman's problems first hand.

Mr. House was speaking to a gathering atthe University of Nebraska for the NationalLivestock Conference. He told the Commit-tee sponsoring the event that the reasonsthere weren't many cattlemen attendingwas that they couldn't afford it financiallyand they couldn't be away from home morethan a half -day at a time because theycouldn't get good help for the money theycould afford to pay.

He illustrated this by saying that cattlesold for 30 cents in 1949, for 30 cents in1959, and had finally gotten up to 30 centsin 1969. In thirty years, cattle prices hadremained below 30 cents most of the timewhile most other items inour economy had doubled oreven tripled in price.

He said that our produc-tion industries were movingto foreign countries becauseof high wages and cheapimports; in other words theycannot compete with prod-ucts produced on cheapwages in other countrieswhile they pay a high scaleof wages here at home. Hecited the shoe industry, steel,tractors, electronics and beefand pork.

According to House, 80 percent of our farm tractorswith 50 horsepower or lessare being imported, and assoon as European farms canuse the larger tractors, ourmanufacturers will move outand produce the large trac-tors in other countries too.

He added that the elec-tronics industries are mov-ing in to countries like

April, 1969

Taiwan where they get skilled labor for 12cents per hour.

He said ranchers have the same kind ofcompetition because he pays more socialsecurity taxes for his ranch help in Kansasthan cowboys in other countries are paid insalary.

In the area of farm exports, House saidthat many organizations keep telling farm-ers that they have to sell at a world priceor they will price themselves out of themarket. but he said they fail to tell thegrain farmer that 80 per cent of his mar-ket is here in the United States and only20 per cent or less is exported.

He said that we cannot continue to legis-late wages ten times higher than wagesaround the world and then not protect ourproducers. He said that we may have thehighest wage scale but if we continue wewon't have any jobs.

He raised the question then if this mightbe an international conspiracy to get all ofour basic industries to move out and leaveus wholly dependent upon production fromother countries.

Sounds to me as if Bill House has askeda question that America will have to an-swer soon.

K M A CommentaryBy FRITZ LIMBACHER

Parochial schools in the KMA area - in-deed, throughout the United States - arein trouble financially. This is evidencedby the vast number of Catholic schoolsthat have announced that they will closetheir doors at the end of the current aca-demic year, and by the urgent lobby in thestate legislatures for funds. As is generallyrecognized, this presents a serious problemto the State Governments. The UnitedStates Constitution plainly states that"Congress shall make no law respecting anestablishment of religion . . ." The IowaConstitution goes even farther,

"The General Assembly shall makeno law respecting an establishmentof religion . . .; nor shall any per-son be compelled to attend anyplace of worship, pay tithes, taxes,or other rates for building or re-pairing places of worship, or themaintenance of any minister, orministry."

Other state Constitutions, being for themost part fashioned after the United StatesConstitution, contain like restrictions.

How then, can the parochial school sys-tem ask for funds from the state legisla-tures? It is argued by the Lobbyists thatthe church schools present a valuable alter-native to parents who wish to have their

children taught in an atmosphere forbid-den by the famous "prayer" decision of theU.S. Supreme Court. Also parochial schoolsare said to take a load off the public schoolsystems. True statements. But is it the re-sponsibility of the State to support this"alternate" system of education ?

These same arguments are used in sup-port of state aid to private colleges. Inmany private colleges, however, as in sec-ondary and elementary parochial schools,attendance at worship services is manda-tory; and therefore these schools do notmeet constitutional requirements for stateaid.

What is at issue here is the potentialdeath of a valuable institution in America.An institution that has contributed agreat deal to America. Since the argumentsare so strongly against aid to parochialschools and private colleges, some meansof circumventing constitutional restrictionsshould be found. It is becoming increasing-ly apparent that Eighteenth and Nineteenthcentury thinking has little relevance to theTwentieth century. Therefore the broadestpossible interpretation of the Constitutionshould be taken to save the parochialschools - in most instances, in fact, broadConstitutional interpretation is necessaryto insure that we are tackling our manyproblems with all the weapons at our dis-posal.

THE DUCK DILEMMAby iVarres Nielson

The Mississippi Flyway Council, whichsets hunting seasons for waterfowl in theflyway states of Iowa, Missouri, Minne-sota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana,Ohio, Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, Mis-sissippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana, is facingrecommendations of biologists that the duckseason this Fall be closed entirely becauseof the low population of Mallard ducks!

I recently did a program on this subjectwith Earl Rose, Chief of Fish and Game,Iowa Conservation Commission in DesMoines. Rose said that Iowa has never hada completely closed duck hunting seasonbut reminded me that the continent popula-tion of Mallards has never been as low asit is this Spring-approximately six andone half million birds compared to theeleven to twenty-five million Mallards wehad between 1956-1962!

Another recent program was with Dr.John Gottschalk, Director of Fisheries andWildlife, Washington, D.C. It is Dr. Gotts-chalk who will have the final say, inAugust, as to whether we have a duckhunting season this Fall!

I asked Dr. Gottschalk about the pos-sibility of a closed season on Mallards only,but a regular season on other species. Hereplied that duck hunters had trouble dis-tinguishing small Teal during the special"Experimental Teal Only" season we hadin 1965-66-67, so he didn't think it a goodidea. I countered with a "Mallard DrakesOnly" season, similar to the cock Pheasantseason whereby the hens are protected. Hegave me the same answer. . . ducks are

NEW STUDIOChief Engineer Don Burrichter installs

sophisticated equipment in newly built re-cording studio in this picture. Last month,the Guide showed the first step in the con -

mostly shot at long range and identifica-tion is difficult!

At the suggestion that the westernboundary of the Mississippi Flyway, whichis the Missouri River, be moved eastwardthirty or fifty miles, to one of Iowa's majornorth -south highways . . . which would al-low Iowa hunters some "in -state" hunting,he said this was possible, but depending onwhere our Missouri River ducks hatch, theboundary could just as easily be movedfifty miles westward and eliminate all Mis-souri River duck hunting for both Ne-braskans and Iowans!

It's not a pleasant situation but I don'tthink the American duck hunter is entirelyto blame. There are a lot of ducks shotevery winter in Mexico where limits aremuch more liberal. But more important,there are thousands of acres up in the so-called "Duck Factory" in southern Canada,that are being drained every year. Presentlaw forbids your tax dollars being spent forwetland reclamation outside the continentalUSA where 80 per cent of our ducks,which are a continent -wide resource, arehatched in Canada. Without proper nestinghabitat, the duck doesn't have a chance.

There are two things you can do. Supportorganizations such as DUCKS UNLIMITEDand write your congressman to pass legis-lation that would allow duck stamp moneyto be spent on leasing and developingCanadian Wetlands before it is too late!History has proved that whenever there isa completely closed season on any specie,the hunter quickly loses interest and thespecie suffers through lack of money forresearch and development of habitat. Let'shope that this will not be the fate of thenoble duck in America!

PROGRESSESstruction with cabinet work taking thespotlight. This month features the moretechnical aspect of the new production con-trol room which will provide improved

facilities for recording spotannouncements, programs,and features for KMA.

According to the engineer,a new solid-state consolemixing center, cartridge andreel -type tape recorders,turntables for standardphonograph records will beprincipal features. WhenChief Burrichter talks "tech-nical" it comes out like this:"included will be a variableequalizer to adjust the fre-quency response, and a re -verb unit to provide echo ef-fects, improved presence, andother effects."

All -in -all it is designed tomake KMA and its pro-grams sound even better!

In an effortto circumnavigate, Fritztook to a county road andfound himself stuck in themud. He arrived finally atKMA-after MERL DOUG-LAS had given the news.

That same flooding situation createdproblems for JACK GOWING who livesnorth of Shenandoah but must cross thesame river. He drove west to Highway 59to get to work since his regular road wasclosed. Incidentally his road is still in badshape with one-way traffic only allowed atlast report.

By BRUCE PILCHERThe Girls' State Tournament was a very

enjoyable experience for me. We were therefor all sessions and the girls put on quite ashow. Two southwest Iowa teams providedthe biggest thrills. Woodbine, a tremen-dously hard working team, finished thirdand Farragut, an underrated team, almostcaptured a trophy. The Farragut contestagainst Allison -Bristow saw Julia Mc -Queen's shot hit the back side of the rimand bounce out with only seconds remain-ing.

One thing that I think was immenselyimportant was the sportsmanship. In girls'athletics, very seldom do you see anythingbut the finest sportsmanship and certainlythe tournament was no exception. CindyLong, whose favored Union -Whitten teamgot upset not once but twice, congratu-lated the Allison -Bristow girls very en-thusiastically upon her team's defeat. Thisis something that you like to see.

We observed some college girls' basket-ball games while at the tournament, andwere impressed with their hustle. The gamethat Mike and I saw was a four overtimethriller between John F. Kennedy Collegeand Midwestern of Denison. Both teams hadsome fine individual stars, and it's a shamethat more people don't know about thefine effort that the college girls put out.

PROGRAM NEWS FOR APRIL 1969Dial 960 - K M A - 5,000 Watts

NORM'SFORUM

By

Norman WilliamsStation Manager

What's Happening?The Federal Communications Commis-

sion decided last year that stations adver-tising cigarettes would have to broadcastalso a significant number of anti -smokingannouncements. Now the FCC is seriouslyconsidering an absolute ban on all cigaretteadvertising on radio and TV.

Some lawmakers and government bureau-crats have attacked the number of com-mercials stations broadcast in a given timeperiod. The FCC now asks us to indicatehow many we will broadcast per hour.Other critics seem to deplore the idea of afree commercial broadcasting system in thiscountry. They also attack the content ofthe commercials you hear and see.

Broadcast news has also recently becomea whipping boy for the critics of broad-casting. As a news medium, broadcastinghas been accused of slanting the news, cre-ating the news, and even emphasizing vio-lence in the news.

The three major networks have just beenaccused of racial discrimination becausenone of them have a black vice president.Then some station owners have lost theirlicenses because they also own the onlynewspaper in the community and have anear monoply on communication media intheir town. However, the FCC doesn't applythis equally to all.

Now the latest attack has come fromDemocratic Senator John Pastore of RhodeIsland. His Senate sub -committee is in-vestigating "crime, brutality, and violenceon television and the effect it might haveon our children." Senator Pastore said, "Iam exceedingly troubled by the lack of anydefinitive information which would helpresolve the questions of whether there isa casual connection between televised crimeand violence and anti -social behavior ofindividuals, especially children." The Sur-geon -General of the United States is order-ing a comprehensive study of this question.Pastore seems to have already made up hismind for he has said on several occasionsthat the main need is for television to"clean up the dirt." I would like to suggestthat a Senate committee be formed to in-vestigate parents. Then follow this with aninvestigation of "Little Orphan Annie" andall other comic strips, paper backs, maga-zines, movies, newspapers and anything elsewhich might influence our children. Howfar are we from the plot of the book,"1984 ?"
