Show May 17, 1942 Salt Lake Radio Program Wins National Attention Salt Lake Citys reputation as a cultural center received another boost recently when a locally written and produced radio program won a first award in the American exhibition of recordings of educational radio programs, sponsored by the Institute for Education by Radio at Ohio State university, Columbus, Ohio. This signal national honor was given to the program Chopin, from the series Up and Down the Scale, produced under the joint sponsorship of The Salt Lake Tribune and Telegram, the Junior league, radio station KSL, the public library and the Salt Lake City board of education. It was broadcast May 30, 1941, and was directed by Louise Hill Howe. The program was in competition with 319 entries, and was awarded its high ranking because of its educational significance, its convincing production, and its adherence to the rules of good radio. In making the study of programs, the committee found that educational institutions do not, as a rule, make full use of the talk and demonstration as program forms and that there is an inadequate number of good radio programs for younger children. The series was popular locally during its presentation. With Mrs. Howe as director, KSL players and Junior league members as performers, The Salt Lake Tribune and Telegram and the board of education as sponsors, and the public library assisting in the research required, the individual programs presented the lives and works of famous composers. Home Front...Every boy in uniform belongs to you and me, Im in love with every soldier that I ever chance to see. I love Marine and Doughboy, Navy Gob and Flier, When it comes to Yankee Doodles, I never seem to tire. I wonder if theyre hungry, if theyre lonely, too. Would they like to have a visit with some folks like me or you. I invite them up to dinner and serve our choicest dish, I like to give each soldier boy his very dearest wish. Id like to be his mother, his sister, or his dad, Id like to be the very one he wishes that he had. But we really are related, Im sure youll all agree That dear ole Uncle Sammy belongs to them...and me! By Rosa Lee Lloyd. MARTHA H. ROLAPP Mrs. Martha H. Rolapp, 79, widow of Judge Henry H.
