The next tour of Radio City begin in approximate-ly five minutes," piped the charming hostess as she handed the tour tickets to Bob Johnson. Only two days remained of the week for which Bob had saved all year. Vacation in New York gosh! It had been wonderful . . . Coney island, Grant's tomb, Statue of Lib-erty, Central park , . . meals in Greenwich village at the "Captain's Bell," and the night in Chinatown. Only two things remained on Bob's schedule a night ride on the Staten Island ferry and this tour of Radio "Oh, you bet!" replied Bob. "I'm going back tomorr " "If you will step this way, please, we will enter the sound effects de-partment," interrupted the guide at this point, and Bob didn't quite finish his sentence. "Please observe, and I shall dem-onstrate how sounds are simulated with the most simple devices," the girl continued as she entered a glass-enclose- d booth. "For example, to create the sound Impression of a trotting horse, we simply take these half cocoanut shells and clap them together sharp- - - 11 ' i ii i" r --u gether. Each seemed to be deeply engrossed in his own thoughts. "Now we shall televise some of you," the guide announced, and you can observe how you might ap-pear on a television broadcast." "Would you like to be first, Miss," she asked, indicating Anne. "Oh ... I guess so," replied Anne, stepping forward. As he watched her enter the en-closure under the glare of the lights for the television view. Bob again was aware of the undertones uf feel-ing created by Anne's vibrant per-sonality. He couldn't help but note City. Bob was 25, tall, blond and tagged as the rugged type by the home-town bobby soxers. After his grad-uation from Mascoutah high school, he had gone to work at Carl May-hew- 's filling station and garage. Everyone in the Illinois town said that Bob was a born mechanic. Al-though Bob had been to nearby St. Louis many times, he always had longed to come to tho big city. Now his dream visit had blossomed Into reality, but it was drawing rapidly to an end. In 38 hours, he would be on the Pennsy speeding westward once again. "But it sure was worth it," thought Dob, as he joined the group of 14 or 13 people which had gathered in the mezzanine foyer of the RCA building. He only casually noticed the girl who semed so deeply en-grossed in the showcase full of modeled hands of eminent NBC con-ductors. He had been looking at the unusual display only a few moments when the petite tour guide called. "Please step forward to the ele-vator, folks. I am Helen Barry. lVn'm hannv in wplrnmn vou id Anne Strong recognized that the remote fullter or excitement with-in her waj due to this young man rather than the wonders of radio. with possessive pride vben ho over-heard the lady from Pennsylvania remark about how lovely Anne ap-peared on the television screen. Then Anne was back at his side. "How did I look, Bob? Was I ter-rible?" he inquired. "You were wonderful!" said Bob, and Anne seemed to understand and interpret the feeling in his voice as genuine. "When are you going back to Vandalia, Anne?" aked Bob, as they followed the group along the corridor. "I wasn't planning to return to Vandalia . . . ever." All the elation seemed to drain out of Bob when shr answered. For the swiftly moving machinery ly. ine plop, plop, plop comes through your radio at home just like the trotting hoof-beat- li we wish to make your mouth water with the sound of frying eggs, we need only crinkle bits of cellophane before the microphone. "When we wish to reproduce tele-phone calls, we use the filter micro-phone. . ." The voice droned on and on, but Bob had lost interest in radio. He was infinitely more aware of the slim young lady at his side. Her arm had brushed against him as the group crowded forward to watch the sound demonstration on the other side of the glass partition, and Bob was shaken by the tremour of ex-citement aroused by this brief con-ta- rt Radio City. In the course of this tour, we shall visit the studios, show you the Inner workings of radio and conclude by attending an actual broadcast of the Fred Waring show. "Now I think it would be nice to know your names, and especially where some of you are from. We'll let you begin, sir," she said as Bhe pointed to the portly man In the vanguard of the little group. "We're Mr. and Mrs. Albert Fisher from Cedar Rapids, Iowa," from the dignified gentleman. The others dutifully chimed In. "Elmer Petersen, St. Paul, Minn." "Eloise Miller, Altoona, Penn." "Bob Johnson, Mascoutah, 111." "Mr. and Mrs. Mark Brown and sons, Gary and John, Chicago." which carries us so rapidly into the future already was busily at work creating fantasies for Bob. Across the miles, his thoughts bad planned how he would borrow Carl's car to drive to Tandalia to see Anne. Bat Anne wasn't going back; she was staying in New York. "That concludes our tour of Radio City. I hope you have enjoyed your view behind the scenes In radio," came from the girl guide to jerk Bob back to reality. Turning to Anne he asked: "Since I'll probably never see you again, how about celebrating my last day in New York with me? It can be your farewell salute to Illinois." Anne Strong, too, recognized that the remote flutter of excitement within her was due to this young man rather than the wonders of radio. When Anne left Vandalia, she had decided never to return. It was such a provincial little town, she thought, and she felt sure she couldn't stand spending the rest of her life there. Of course she knew that one didn't go to the big city to achieve fame like a Horatio Alger hero; but at any rate, she would be free from the petty gos-sip and restrictions of small town life. Anne was considered the best beautician in Vandalia, so she was quite confident that she would ex-perience no difficulty in finding work in New York. But for a few weeks, she planned to "see the sights" be-fore going to work. Only this very morning, she had decided to see Radio City. As they left the sound effects' room and moved along the corridor toward the television demonstration, Bob and Anne walked silently to- - "Anne Strong, Vandalia, 111." Partly because she came from nearby Vandalia, but more because of the soft, resonant quality of her voice, Bob turned quickly to inspect the young lady thus identified. As he looked into her t, smiling face, he remembered the young lady whom he had noticed while waiting for the tour to begin. Her round face with its even, pleas-ing features made him think of Illi-nois, somehow. It seemed that she was symbolic of the wide, sweeping prairies of his home state almost a breath of refreshment in the crowded elevator. As the group emerged from the cage after a rapid ascent, Bob crowded ahead among the others until he reached Anne Strong. "Miss Strong," he stammered, "I overheard you say you were from Vandalia. I'm from Mascoutah, and I've been to Vandalia lots of times." "Yes, Bob, I heard you say you were from Mascoutah," answered Anne casually, as though she and Bob had been friends for years. "Are you enjoying your visit here In New York?" she continued. Anne said, "O. K., Bob, what's on the schedule?" Somewhat sheepishly, Bob told her his plans, and they set but together. They 'visited the art museum, lunched at the open air restaurant in Central park, shared a bag of popcorn at the Bronx zoo and en-Joy-dinner in a Slovakian restaur-ant below Third avenue. They brought the happy day to a close with the ride on the ferry. As they walked slowly toward the hotel where Anne was staying, she asked quietly: Where do you live in Mascoutah, Bob?" "Since Mother died," replied Bob, "I've been living In two rooms over the garage where I work. I batch. It's not a bad place. There are five rooms there, but I use only two of them." "I just wondered," said Anne, "thought I might like to send you a postcard some time. It's been great fun today, Bob. You're the first person in New York with whom I ve felt really friendly. And you had to come all the way from Illi-nois." She paused as they drew near the hotel entrance. "I hope you have a nice trip home," she continued as she ex-tended her hand to him in a fare-well gesture. "Thanks for a very nice day!" "Gee. Anne, I had a swell time," said Bob. "Glad I got to know you. Maybe we'll see each other again some time, who knows." They were both silent for a few moments. Then Bob shuffled his right foot around before he said, "Well, so long, Anne," Anne noticed the droop of his shoulders as be shuffled off down the street. Two weeks later, Carl came into the garage and shouted to Bob: "Hey, Bob, who do you know in Vandalia?" Bob looked up somewhat sur-prised, asking, "Why?" "Letter here from Vandaha for you, and it looks like a female's handwriting to me," bantered CarL "Ummm! Smells good, too." Before he looked at the trim hand-writing. Bob knew that a certain beautician had decided that the big city wasn't so good after all. Canning Rules Insist On Perfect Ripeness, Freshness of Produce There never was a canning rule better devised than the one about putting up your fruit and vegetables at their peak of freshness and while they are perfectly ripened.

Then whisk the produce into your kitchen where Jars and canning equipment wait in readiness. Fol-lowing directions, you may be cer-tain you have caught the produce at its best, thus assuring perfect eating enjoyment later.

By INEZ GERHARD GABOR is beautiful, charm- - ing, wealthy end works as hard as any ambitious extra girl, maybe even harder. More than anything else, she wants to be a good actress. Typed at first as a Hungarian coun-tess in pictures, because she was Hungarian and just learning English, she phys a countess again in "Abi-gail, Dear Heart" at Paramount, al-though she speaks perfect English now. She has been studying drama and dancing and working in little theaters. "I've taken every part I was offered," she says. Vacationing in New York, she saw plays, read plays for directors, concentrated on the goal she is sure to attain being a really good actress. When Humphrey Bogart was train-ing with paratroopers in the Coloradc desert for "Sahara" he encountered John Derek. Now Derek, with nc previous film experience, is to be HUMPHREY BOGART seen in Columbia's "Knock on Any Door," in an important role as a sullen young killer. Bogart has the star role of the lawyer who defends him. The "Theatre Guild on the Air" has not attained its reputation as one of our very best radio shows by accident. Homer Flckett, di-rector, rehearses the cast of each broadcast as carefully as if for a Broadway production. In fact, it's said to be the most rehearsed program on the air. Top stars of stage and screen, carefully select-ed plays and able direction make the broadcasts outstanding. And it adds no little to even the best actors' prestige to appear on the show.
