A Bit of NostalgiaAfter 30 years of silence, the old steam-

boat whistle originally mounted on theIowa Power and Light building in Shenan-doah will be heard again.

Built in the 1930s at the order of the lateFrank Anshutz, jeweler in the town who re-called the steamboat whistles of his youth.the whistle was discovered in 1966 in stor-age by L. E. Nye, city water superintend-ent, who with Joe Howard and John Gow-ing of Shenandoah got the whistle con-verted to air pressure. When the Eatonplant was constructed in Shenandoah, themen applied for and received approval toinstall the whistle atop the plant building.

Once again Shenandoahans may hear thewhistle marking the beginning of anotherworking day, although the schedule for itsblowing has not yet been set.

Associate News Director Tom Taylor madea tape recording of the whistle blast whichwas sent to its 81 -year -old maker, LutherChapman of Portsmouth, Ohio. Chapmanalso drew up instructions for convertingthe whistle from steam to air pressure.

Chat With

Edward May

I have several things to write for thisedition of the Guide . . . first of which isto congratulate those students who areabout to graduate whether from highschool or college. Graduation occurs everyspring and is a very important occasion forthose who have achieved this educationalgoal. Graduation this year will mean moreat our house as Eddie will be one of thehigh school graduates -- the last of ourthree children to do so. It is difficult forme to realize that Eddie is about to finishhigh school, and all I can say is, "My, howthose school years flew by!" I know ourhouse will seem unusually quiet this fallwhen Eddie leaves for college.

WATER WITCHINGAnother subject I want to touch upon is

"water witching." I know most of youhave heard of it and more than likely thewords bring a skeptical expression to yourface. I do not pretend to be an expert onwitching; however, several years ago I did

ep

May -June, 1972

a little experimenting with the use of a"divining rod," primarily for my ownamusement. Frankly, I hadn't thoughtabout the subject for quite some time.However, recently a farm friend called andsaid he was desperate for water and askedif I would cut a "stick" and drive to hisfarm and attempt to find a location wherethe "stick" would react. (A. reaction pre-sumably indicates the possibility of waterbelow the spot where the "stick" dips for-ward and down.) This is the point wherepeople shake their heads and say, "Don'texpect me to believe that you can locatewater by using a stick of some kind." Noone that I know has ever given a soundexplanation as to why a "witch stick" re-acts to water, but if the truth were known,I wouldn't be surprised if a high percent-age of the farm wells in this part of thecountry that were put down 50-75 yearsago were "witched" by someone using awillow, peach, cherry or some other wood.

The picture on this pageshows Andy Anderson andme using a "witch stick."We felt a rather strong pullor reaction, and the well dig-ger - though a nonbeliever inwater witching-was of theopinion the site showed con-siderable promise. I am sor-ry to report the results werenot favorable. At 75 feet thewell driller hit rock. Therewas about a foot of water orso, but not enough to war-rant the expense of complet-ing the well. I'll never know,but I will always be curiousas to whether there might bewater below the rock at the75 -foot level.

On Thursday morning, April 6, I tookmy 7:15 program on KMA as usual, andwhen I had finished with the weather -about 7:25 - I started answering ques-tions sent in by listeners in letters. I didn'tknow anything about it until a couple ofhours later, but about that time Ed Maycut in on my program and told the listen-ers that on that day I was celebrating my78th birthday, and suggested that the lis-teners might like to have a surprise birth-day card shower on me. The result was al-most unbelievable. The first day's mailbrought over 750 cards and the second daybrought about 350 more. The next daybrought 42 more.

The picture on this page shows the firstday's cards opened, out on the desk, with

the second day's mail still in the envelopesunopened, on the end of the desk. At theend of the fifth day, the total count wa31,228, and they still came stringing in.They came from all over Iowa, Missouri,Nebraska and Kansas, which shows thatKMA still does get out fairly well. Iowa,of course, produced the largest number,with Missouri a close second, with quite afew hundred from Nebraska, and a veryrespectable number from Kansas espe-cially the northeast corner of the state.In addition to selecting and sending a con-gratulatory card, about half of the folkseither filled in a blank page of the cardwith a letter or. as many of them did,wrote two, three or four pages of letterand included it with the card. You can wellunderstand that I haven't been able to getmuch done for the past few days for read-ing the mail. In fact, some of them I haveread over three or four times.

Some of the older listeners said that theyhave been listening to me ever since myfirst program, which, incidentally for therecord, was on August 6, 1926. Also, forthe record, my first program on KMA wason April 20, 1940.

Both Jennie and I have enjoyed surpris-ingly good health this winter with one ex-ception. Jennie picked up the three day fluthe day after my birthday, but the modernantibiotics got her back on her feet and hadit under control very shortly. Outside ofthat, neither one of us has even had a coldin the past year. No, we haven't been fish-ing yet this spring, but by the time you arereading this I think we will probably havesome fish stories to tell, with the necessarypictures to prove them.

RFD 960By CLIFF ADAMS

Spring work on the farms in our KMAarea is well underway. Some of the north-ern areas are waiting until the frost is outof the ground and the unusually cold weath-er, I suspect, will delay those areas somemore. The southern counties of Iowa, Mis-souri, Kansas and Southeastern Nebraskahave a good start with small grains, andit won't be long until the corn -planting willstart. The cool weather was dramatizedwith Waterloo posting a 9 above readingon April 8th.

Since my last writing, I have attendedthe American Pork Congress in KansasCity. The event this year featured an evenlarger number of commercial exhibits al-though attendance was lower than the yearbefore when it was held in Des Moines. Thegood weather at the time was thought tohave cut the attendance. One of the high-lights of the event was the Pork Cook -outContest for men. The contest this year waswon by a Kansas Pork Producer who de-veloped a sweet and sour sauce to cookpork chops with. The "sweet and sour topchops" were excellent. For those of youwho want the recipe, I shall be happy tosend it to you.

I just recently attended the NationalCorn Growers meeting in Des Moines. Opti-mism over increased exports was expressedat the meeting although some concern stillexists that our supply will be excessive evenwith this year's curtailed plantings. Cer-tainly a big factor will be the weather this

year as it always is. Dry conditions existin many more areas of the country thisspring and what rainfall we get in thefuture will have a lot to do with what thatcrop will be.

NEW DAIRY PROGRAMMINGOn May 2nd we will start a new program

in the farm department. Because of somesurveys taken by some area extension per-sonnel, a demand was shown for more dairyinformation. Those surveyed said they lis-tened to KMA. As a result we shall havethe program for dairy farmers at 5:40 a.m.The program will consist of helpful infor-mation of interest to the dairy farmers andwill be 3 to 5 minutes in length. It will beaired three days a week on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday mornings.

Send In YourSTRAW VOTE

There is much speculation about the roleof the rural vote in this year's election. Weat KMA are interested in the attitude ofour listeners and since most of those wholisten are from the rural areas we shouldlike to conduct an informal straw vote. Atthe bottom of this page is a simple surveywhich if filled out and sent to us shouldprovide all of us and certainly those of youwho respond with some interesting infor-mation. Here are the questions:

Do you live on a farm ? yes Small town? yes Urban area? _ _yes

Truman SportsComplex. The 40,589 -seat facility was plan-ned strictly for baseball. Royals Stadiumcombines the best features of present sta-diums plus displaying some dramatic newdimensions. Among the most talked aboutfeatures are a $2 million scoreboard, a$1,500,000 stadium club, a $750,000 waterspectacular and an impressive two -levelpress box and press club. Foremost, ofcourse, are the advantages offered to play-ers and spectators. The players will per-form on the first American League diamondto be covered totally with a synthetic turf.Only the pitching mound, home plate, andsliding areas will be dirt. Fans will enjoymany features of Royals Stadium. Twocircular ramps and four escalators willmake seats easy to reach. Every seat willpoint towards second base and have a com-pletely unobstructed view of the diamond.

The scoreboard located in center fieldtowers 12 stories and takes the form of theRoyals crest. In addition to the normalgame information it will present spectacu-lar animations. When one of the Royalshits a home run a facial likeness of the bat-ter will appear on the scoreboard. At thesame time, huge balls on the crown lightup and perimeter lights encircle the entirescoreboard several times giving the effectof a giant fireworks display. The waterspectacular which is 322 feet wide stretchesprimarily from center to right field. Onejet of water which can reach seven storieshigh, responds to the cheers of spectators.rising as the cheers grow. Another gyrateswildly to a height of 70 feet with eachKansas City home run coordinating withthe scoreboard. The stadium club is locatedon the third base side and overlooks theentire playing field. The club has four tiersfor diners, each with an unobstructed view.Total seating capacity is 600.

FEEDBACKBy N DERMODY

Those three kids on the cover of the cur-rent issue of The GUIDE are mine. Well. . . Martha and I. Diane, 8, Pat. 7, andTom, 5. They are our pride and joy. Thesource of a great deal of humor . . . someagony . . . and a lot of noise.

Pat asked us one night . . . why peoplelisten to News. Diane answered, almostautomatically . . . to see if they're on it.

That is essentially true . . . for, as RalphChilds is fond of saying . . . News is reallypublic gossip. Only we have to be sure thatwhat we are saying is accurate . . . andnot rumor.

Our son, Tom, discovered recently Alex-ander Bell's contribution to humanity. Ashort time later . . . he began to totallyconfuse the KMA switchboard by callingand wanting to speak to dad.

Kids are wont to do that type of thing.Teachers sometimes encourage the prac-tice. Several years ago, working at myhome town radio station, I began to re-ceive an astounding number of calls . . .

all from seventh grade junior high stu-dents . . . wanting to know the populationof Afghanistan . . . or Pakistan and thegeneral typography of Peru . . . or the ma-jor exports of Outer Mongolia. The callscontinued for two days until I discoveredthat a Junior High School geography teach-er had assigned each student a country andtold them if they couldn't find the informa-tion at the library to call the radio station.They did.

We still get calls . . . even at home. Peo-ple call and want to know the Time or theTemperature or the five-day forecast. Theywill ask about a network newscast heardthe day before or how the roads are be-tween here and there. Usually the forecastrequests come as the announcer is readingthem or the road reports are being broad-cast. Still they call.

School closings are part of the KMANews service, and we have managed toavoid the perennial prank call that usedto close a school. However, strange thingsstill happen. One principal called during thelast major snow storm and cancelled hisschool for the day. He had the right infor-mation, so we broadcast the item. Twominutes later his Superintendent called andopened the school; he also had the right in-formation, so we opened school again. Thenthe principal called back . . . mad. We fin-ally had to set up a conference call to re-solve the matter.

Most of this has nothing to do with thosethree kids on the cover, of course. We real-ly didn't think it necessary to tell you aboutDiane's grades (excellent), the three win-dows we replaced for Tom, or the teeththat Pat is having to do without.

4 MEMOFrom BRENDA KAY

The highlight of the past two months forme was my trip to North Carolina to visita number of textile plants in the Greens-boro area. Along with fifteen other broad-casters, we arrived on April 12 to be theguests of the American Textile Manufac-turers Institute and to visit four partici-pating companies - Burlington Industries,Inc., Cannon Mills Company, Cone MillsCorporation, and J. P. Stevens and Com-pany, Inc. "Textile Talk" was the name ofthe tour which was provided by AMTI,and we all left Greensboro with a wealthof material about the textile industry.

During the entire tour, we were able tosee how textiles (from cotton to polyesterknits) were manufactured and distributedacross the country. We had the opportunityto talk with company presidents and pro-duction personnel about the textile world.Of course, I appreciated the opportunityto ask questions as I am a rather curiousperson!

Thursday morning we visited Cannon'sSwink plant in Salisbury to see the makingof basic sheeting, followed by a visit toKannapolis to see the dyeing, printing andpackaging of towels and sheets. Did youknow that last year Cannon producedenough bath towels so that one out of everytwelve Americans could have one?

Friday morning we went to Cone's Gran-ite finishing plant in Haw River to see theproduction of corduroy. That was the mostinteresting process which I saw. I did notrealize there were so many processes toobtain the finished product - all the wayfrom clipping and brushing to get the napto singeing to burn off the extra fibers.Then we visited Burlington Industries whichis the largest textile producer in the world.And the tour ended with a visit to theStevens knit fabrics division Carter -Greensboro plant.

It was a wonderful trip, and I learnedso much about the problems of the Tex-tile Industry and the problems that theyface to produce fabrics to please the con-sumer. We also discussed in detail theramifications of the new Flammability Actand the Labeling Act. Much of this infor-mation will be shared with you, my listen-ers, during the next few weeks. I expressmy sincere thanks to KMA for providingsuch a great learning opportunity for me.And, you know, it's good to be home!

Stay healthy and happy - and be thank-ful every day for the gift of life!

,Everyone considers himself a food author-

However, the charming twinswho operate the May Snack Bar in theEarl May Seed and Nursery Co., buildinghas so perfected the art of serving thehungry public that they make it look easy.

Representative of the restaurant industryin the area, the sisters, Mrs. Richard Bopp,manager, and her right hand helper, Mrs.Charles Kuntzelman, spend long hours attheir jobs planning, cooking, serving andcleaning up. They open up at 7:15 a.m. andclose when the last customer is gone, about4:30 p.m., usually.

They serve an average of 30 meals a dayduring the lunch hour from 11 to 1 p.m.Ready with snacks and drinks, the twinsserve the work breaks for May Companyemployees at 9:15 to 11:45 a.m.. and 2:15to 4:00 p.m. They are starting their thirdyear with the Snack Bar.

Manager Ervalene Bopp (on the left inthe picture) has two children, Sharon (Mrs.Marty Hannigan) of Denver, Colo., andJames of Shenandoah, and three grand-children.

Nevadene Kuntzelman has two daugh-ters, Debbie and Diane. who is Mrs. SteveAkers of Shenandoah, and one grandchild.
