y What’s on every morning, afternoon, and early evening? 920 CLUB, of course. Just as you are about to say, Hey, Ma. what’s for dinner, I ' m starved?” the radio peals forth with Zoot Suit” and you ' re off in a jitterbug. A twist and a turn with arms around an imaginary partner and then you try that new step that you learned down at the ”Bee” the other night. You ' re supposed to be starved, but when your mother calls you, you say, Sure, in a minute, I just want to hear Dinah Shore sing this one. Then Bob Perry chimes in with an ad for Krey Music Hall and you say, “Well, it ' s time to eat, now,” Swinging along with your fork to the rhythm of Vaughn Monroe ' s smooth band, you are warned that you are going to miss any minute now. Just as you are about to get up fbom the table you hear a familiar voice singing, Time out for Dawson ' s,” and you scream at the top of your lungs that if you hear that advertisement again you ' ll write a letter to the station. But when you hear Vaughn ' s soothing voice give out with Racing with the Moon” you forget how angry you were a few minutes ago. From the beginning of the song ’til the end, your mother hears over and over again about Vaughn ' s, visit to the Totem Pole” or the gala opening of Sun Valley,” until she finally blocks her ears so she won ' t hear any more about dance bands. About two-thirty, a couple of the kids” drop in and listen to your favorite orchestras—but of course you ' re doing your hone- work all the while. You try some of those smooth new turns you tried at the Prom and,.upon failure with one, you try another. But oh, gosh, why do they have to put in one of those ugly ads every time the music gets really hot. You keep tuned all the day so you won 1 t miss Jimmy Dorsey ' s fifteen minutes, and live in hopes that Bob Eberly and Helen O ' Connell will sing that luscious Tangerine,” By the time.Johnny and your girl friend ' s brother drop in to talk, you ' ve heard Sumraerfield ' s ad five times. Oh, you don ' t know what ad that is? Well, it goes Tike this, Why don ' t you drop in and look over our ' Honeymoon Lane, ' which includes a completely furnished home, from the rugs on the floor to the pictures on the wall and at the amazing low price of only $179.00. u Oh. torture, as if ‘that isn ' t enough, a very familiar voice says sweetly, Say it again- VIRGINIA DARE—-”—then everybody goes out in a swoon! Oh well, i ' t ' s all in an afternoon ' s work—listening to 920 on your radio dial which is now 950 on your dial. —Gloria Washburn
