By RALPH NORMAN: Back in 1931 a couple of Mena, + Ark., boys re-enacted part of an | amateur charity show on radio, and | Dick Huddleston, for countless listeners, became symbolical of all country storekeepers. . It was Lum and Abner who made ' Dick Huddleston famous—so famous he’s touring the country as part of the boys’ stage troupe which is the Lyric’s current attraction. Before last fall Dick, so he told me, never had done anything but sell groceries, and all the assorted articles traded in country K ; stores, to fellow Dick Huddleston Citizens of Pine Ridge (formerly Waters, Ark.). Now, while he’s Behind the footlights, his wife and daughter carry on business at home, selling the sugar and salt and buying the eggs and butter and—here’s somethingnew—talking with visitors from all over the United States who stop at Pine Ridge to see the store and characters they hear about on radio. 2 8 2 Dick explained he is the only Lum and Abner character which really exists in name. But others, although their names are fictitious, are based on Arkansas residents whom the boys # met in their wanderings around § the state. Cedric Fire Chief, for instance, talks § and acts just like § Lester Goble, who works in the Mena wholesale grocery firm of which Abner (Norris Goff) is the president and which his sister manages. The sis ter, by the way, married a brother of Lum (Chester Lauck), so the grocery business, as well as radio activities, is a two-family affair. 8% 2 : Then there's Grandpappy Spears. Grandpapy lives in Pine Ridge, just as he does in the skits, but he’s really Grandpappy Wilhite, father of 11 children and the grandchil«

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER

Once upon a time there were three young men, famous, quite gifted, and extremely irreverent. Their names were Bach, and they had a habit | &s of referring to their father as “Old Pigtail.” Both the father and the | 38 sons wrote music, but the latter thought the former’s efforts complex, | difficult and dull. Nowadays, people think a lot more of the father than they do of tne boys, musically speaking. And every now and then, just as the | “American School of the Air” is doing tomorrow, they take some compositoins by these three young upstarts and play them on the same

the hat of an African native, but only recently did he discover the species of bird to which the feather belonged . . . and then the find was made in a little-used corridor of a Belgian museum, the Musee du Congo Belge.

Fe YES. The Carnegie Foundation gave an examination covering

True, these were not the same students carried through the four years but the investigators believed it proved that many students got through knowing less than when they started. ” ” n CAPACITY to become intelligent is probably to a large extent, although not entirely, inborn; but intelligence itself is chiefly ac-

ever become anything like as intelljgent as they could or should. However, good environment apparently increases soméwhaf the very capacity to become more intelligent. A large group of London slum children were given intelligence tests and then removed to good homes. Within a few months they made significantly higher intelligence test scores, whereas the children still in the slums had made no progress. Slum clearance pays big dividends. ” ” ” IN a thought provoking—and probably, to many provoking— article in Scribners by Thomas Uzzell and V. E.-LeRoy, “The Decline of the Male” they state that women are now the pursuers and men the

pursued in matters of sex, and that women pour out facts, secrets and fictions about sex that even astonish and mystify their own doctors, lawyers, etc. My mail certainly brings me 10 astounding revelations from women to one from men—revelations that men could never be induced to tell.

F the three sons, Karl Philipp Emanuel was the least gifted but, because of a capacity for work, the most famous. The one ‘who most nearly approached the father’s genius was Wilhelm Friedmann, the most famous organist and improvisor of his day and a gifted mathematician. He seems to have had a weakness for spirituous beverages,

Johann Christian, the other of the many sons represented on this program, crossed the Channel and became known to history as ‘The English Bach.” It's a foregone ‘conclusion that Johann Sebastian will come out ahead in tomorrow's broadcast just as he has in other similar programs.

But the air was dark with blackface acts, they were told, and with only five minutes to decide, they concluded to talk like some of the people with whom they did business. : “I guess I'll call myself Lum,” Lauck said, because he knew no one by that name. Goff remarked | he knew an old man called Abner. { When a studio microphone was switched on a moment later, Lum {and Abner were on the air. They've {been on twice daily much of the |time since, and, as you know, may {be heard over NBC-WLW at 6:30 p. m. Their “roadcast is repeated for the West at 10:15 p. m.
