Adjourned, Respectfully Submitted Klizabeth Bradley Acting cecretary DOUGLAS COULPY MMALTH UNIT Monthly report of Director Mey 8, 1945 ek I traveled 1065 miles in April, 2, Immuniza tions continued at top speed during the whole month and are now pretty well completed. The really rural schools including the preschool children are certainly more than 50% and probably nearer 60% immunized. The mothers, the county over are almost unanimous in their desire for complete protection for their children but refuse it for ' themselves. The schools at Baldwin and, Eudora and the preschools, especially at Eudora are well covered, In district # 60 the work will be completed before the school year ends. One day last week I did over - 200 smallpox vaccinations and the work still goes on, 3.

The day when boys ‘and girls took over the city government was well observed by the Unit. Each of us had an understudy and all of them | seemed interested. It may be that our high School is full of bright and patriotic young people or that. the teachers immediately responsible for the selection, gave the youngsters a careful Nand picking,--possibly both. Certainly, the young people that came to us sold themselves, — their school and their faculty, not only to the City Government but to ail the forward looking public that they contacted, .. The plan and practice in the Unit was to take the student officials. fully into our confidence and show them all we could. I went with a nurse and three young people to visit and inspect an Interesting country - school and with the sanitarian and the same girls to look over one of the newest dairies, | | ' At the noon luncheon, my personal understudy, Miss Elam, made a most acceptable speech=-best or next to best, I think, of all that were made. In introducing her I said, "With very few exceptions, in every city 1n The United States, the people are worth more than all other assets put together. Computing them at $10,000.00 each, a value set. vy the courts and generally recognized by every one that knows anything about it, the people of Douglas County are worth almost exactly a | quarter billion dollars,--six hundred sixteen and two thirds percent (616.66%) of the value of ali real and personal property turned in for. ad valorem taxation. : oe pe/tiay rep, The most cherished, the most valued, the most long rangedly im- portant about these people is their health.

We each learned something there and saw much to instruct and to encourage us. Some of us have gone several times to Topeka to programs of graduate instruction in the sort of work we are trying to do here. We hope to go for a day soon, to attend an institute covering several matters that are on the border between public health and social welfare. As you know, economic welfare, social | welfare, and public health, are only separate pockets in the same garment and no is independent of the other two. one | 6. For more than two years we have been pushing for better laws on the dog situation. It recently came through, partly, I believe, because of the stimulus Miss Sheila Wilder, student councilman, acting for Councilman Ralph Pine, gave the idea. I suggest that we send her a congratulatory letter signed by our president and our secretary. 7.

It must be clearly understood, however, thet each man who intends to avail himself of its use, does so on the basis of individual responsibility and assumes all liability in the event of an injury or the loss of personal effects. Because of shortages in both manpower and athletic equipment, the University is unable to extend to us use of such sporting goods as basketballs, volleyballs, ete. Nor can it guarantee against loss of elothing or personal effects because of caretakeyxs being unavailable for such duties. There has been some loss attributed to juvenile delinquents, of the above.

Allen University of Kansas Lawiene, Kansas Dear Doc: This letter is months over-due, and I am thoroughly ashamed that I haven't written sooner. The work on this job seems to increase pro- _ gressively each month, however, and I have very little time for personal _ affairs and correspondence. Thanks very much for keeping me on the mailing list for ‘| "Rebounds". You really out-did yourself in the last few issues. You have @ wonderful idea in this letter, and I am sure that the men overseas appreciate it greatly. It has been very interesting to me to follow all these boys through their military careers since leaving the University. \ whe "Rebounds", too, is the only contact I now have with the University. Very few KU men seem to find their way into this Air Force. You may be interested in two former physical ed majors that we obtained for this Air Force, however, both of whom have performed very well. Bill Arnold was a sergeant in physical training at one of our bases near Fresno. He did such an outstanding job that we sent him to OCS and he is now a second lieutenant somewhere in the Middle West. lst Lt. George Stapleton we obtained by requesting his transfer from Florida. He is now base physical training officer at Walla Walla Army Air Wield, in the state of Washington. He is doing a swell job up there keeping our bomber personnel in shape to bomb Tokyo and Berlin. It was a great surprise and pleasure to see Chancellor Mallot a couple of weeks ago in the Officers’ Mess at this headquarters. I didn't know that he was connected with the air force in any way and he had forgot- ten that it was the Fourth Air Force in which I served. We discussed KU and Lawrence, of course, at some length. : I was able to get down to Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago and saw Dud make his debut into pro-football coaching when he played our Fourth Air Force football team in Los Angeles. We should have beaten him decisively but he capitalized on the breaks. I was happy for Dud to see him win his initial game, and it has been good to follow his success in all his succeeding wins. I certainly hope he can win the National Champi- onship in his first year. Many educators, of course, have raised their eyebrows at a Phi Beta Kappa and an outstanding physical educator going into the tainted ranks of professional athletics! The National Pro as \ / Football aor however, is conducted on a pretty darn high plane. As George Marshall, the owner says, the professional teams admit that they pay their players but many universities and colleges hypocritically deny that they do! Dud debated the move for a long time, but his salary is such that he couldn't afford to turn it down. Ruth and I thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Allen's very sweet letter. Ruth and the boy are both doing very well and are home now. Of course, the old man is beginning to wear down under the strain of personally adminis- tering the 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock and 6 o'clock feedings! ‘Thank goodness I had years of physical education wrk to build up my resistance for these nocturnal marathons and endurance contests! We have named the youngest / athlete in the DeGroot clan Donald Forrest. ‘The middle name, of course, is for the finest boss and one of the greatest guys 1 have ever known, and I hope you don't mind our taking the liberty of naming him after you. I only hope Donald Forrest can live up to his name; and he'd better be a basketball star or else! Ned already performs a pretty fair two handed pass as well as a bounce pass, so he’s on the road at the age of three. I am working on an assignment for Headquarters AAF right now which will require a trip to Denver or somewhere in the Middle West, for a conference within the next couple of weeks. if I can come through Kansas City I'll make every effort to stop off and visit all the old gang at KU. If I possibly can, I hope to see KU's game at Denver or one of the later ones in October. I presume that you will be starting basketball practice pretty soon and that your next "Rebounds" will tell us what your prospects are. Stanford is finally breaking down on its “duration” athletic policies to the point of playing basketball this coming season. Although I live in Palo Alto, I very seldom get out to Stanford. I did see Everett Dean about two weeks ago, however, and intend to get over there again in the near future. Good luck in the season to come, Doc, and best regards to Mrs. Allen and all our friends at the University. Yours sincerely, Edward B.

Dre Fe Ce Allen, Head Physical Equeation Department Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Phog": Just a note to thank you for the opportunity of visit- ing with you in Denver, Being a native of Kansas, I have follov- ed you since my early school days, and have naturally admired your coaching prowess. It was a distinct thrill to me to be able to meet you and discuss problems facing athletics with one of such Wide experience. I heartily agree with you that we cannot solve these problems by refusing to admit that there are problesm. We mist do some constructive thing if we are to save athletics for the youth of the nation. There is no doubt in my mind that gambling is a major problem. It has already placed a stigma upon college athletics and I feel that if something is not done to protect college athletics from future encroachment, we will lose the respect of sportsmen and the public in general. I sincerely hope that we may be able to have athletic relationships sometime in the near future. Naturally, it would be an honor to play a team as high in basketball circles as Kansas University, but at the same time it would be no disgrace to lose to one of your fine teams. If there is a possibility that we might fit into your schedule in inter-sectional play, we would appreciate it if you would contact use Again, thanks for the privilege of knowing you better.

N. “Red” Holladay is now the Colorado State Jaycee President. The State Secretary must also come from the same chapter as the president, Denver's own Carroll “Mike” Milligan will hold forth in the secretarial chambers. We now have the long and short of it as it were. Here are two fine fellows who are cavable of doing the best job of any of the State Officers yet elected. Plans are being made for Denver’s directors to meet with Holladav and Milligan three or four times during the year to participate in local and state Jaycee problems. A state-wide membership campaign could well be a theme for the com- ing year. There are too few cities in Colorado represented in the Jaycees. A large representation would well compensate the state organization. Denver is back of you 100% “Red” and let us know. ‘WANTED ATTENDANCE PRIZES Why doesn’t some smart Denver The following Attendance Prizes Jaycee dream up a radio program’ will be given at Tuesday’s Member- for Sunday A.M. entitling a few con- ship Luncheon. valescent soldiers to phone home?

Lautner (home address—Tra- verse City, in the heart of Michigan’s vacation land) in which he thanks us for cigarettes which were distributed to his unit and states that a brief visit to Denver in January, 1944, will bring him back to Denver after the war. “Mike” Michaelson writes from overseas that the cigarettes we sent at Christmas tie closer the feliowship of our boys in service and the Denver Jaycee organization. Lt. Neil King is now public relations officer at Mather Field, Cali- fornia, an Air Transport Command Post. A letter from “Somewhere in France” states that Jack Copeland is very busy and is waiting for an early “handshake” with the Russians. Jack is ready to get this thing over and return to Denver for a Jaycee Luncheon or even better a “super duper” party. (1 wonder what he means.) Good luck to each and every one of you and may the Jaycee luncheon Jack Copeland refers to be in the very near future. YALTA POINTS TO PEACE | A meeting of the heads of the three most powerful nations of the world is always an event of considerable importance. The conference at Yalta was particularly significant because it came at a time when the armies yf Russia were converging on Berlin and the American and British armies were breaking thru the Siegfried line. Of the decisions which were made along military lines, probably the most important were those which dealt with combining the activities of the chiefs of staff of the three major nations and with laying down some prin- ciples as to what to do with Germany on the day of her collapse. The cooperation of the military chiefs is already in effect, and it is evident that this cooperation is hastening Germany’s defeat. The terms laid down for Germany by the heads of the three govern- ments were intended to deprive Germany of the excuse of a stab in the back as was developed by some German leaders at the end of the last war. The Allied leaders promised the German people little mercy. They stated that Germany will be occupied for a long time, that the war criminals will be punished and that a heavy burden of reparations will be imposed on the Reich. An important feature of the Crimean Conference was the evident desire of the great nations to cooperate in political as well as in economic matters. They recognized the need of dispelling the mistrust, which has accumulated over a period of years, as a basis for such cooperation and the consequent necessity of closer contact among the leaders of these nations. To achieve this, the conference 2greed that the foreign ministers of the three leading states should meet at regular intervals in order to exchange views and to formulate policies. The economic problems which will confront the members of the United Nations will be difficult and can be solved only thru international cooperation. The Bretton Woods Conference was a step in that direction. Within the limitations of shipping space, UNRRA is already doing consider- able work to alleviate the suffering in some countries. It is evident that, as soon as hostilities in Europe come to an end and the real task of recon- struction begins, even greater cooperation will be necessary. Altho the Crimean Conference was successful, it did not solve all the outstanding problems. It recognized the fact, however, that the interests of the major nations are not identical and that the only way of establishing sound relations is thru a policy of give and take. The results of the Crimean Conference augur well for the future for they promise closer cooperation, economic as well as political, among the major nations of the world. 100 OCTANE An old Quaker lady, who was very philosophical, used to say that there were three outstanding follies of which men were guilty. The first folly was that they would eo to war and kill each other when, if they would only wait lone enough, they would all die naturallv. The second was that men would climb trees to knock down fruit when, if they would cnly wait long enough, the fruit would fall to the ground. The third and crowning folly was that they would pursue women when, if they would only wait long enough, the women would pursue them.—Digest and Review.

Denver JuNIOR CHAMBER News PREZ SEZ Editor's Note: Mark Schreiber pinch-hitting for Dr. Bumpus, while he is vocationing in California. Denver’s dribble derby legions will be bounce-batty by March 24 when the National AAU titleholder will be decided for the hardwood during 1945. Boots Adams, genial headman of Phillips Petroleum of Bartlesville, Okla., sent his cagers here a week in advance of the opening firing so the green and orange bedecked Phillips crew would be completely acclimated for the week-long grind which will find them shooting for their third straight championship. Again this year it will be a big, wise gang of swell guys who will carry the Phillips banner. Bud Browning, the aging forward, who also master- minds as coach, has his club readv to display a bagful of hoop tricks. There’s Fred Pralle, who is nursing a bad knee, but anxious to go, and Willie Rothman, plus Skyscraper Charley Harbert, Paul Lindeman, Shorty Carpenter, Scat McNatt and Dick Yates, just to mention a few. These men will all be firing from the hip. Yes, Phillips will be hard to dethrone. But if the job can be done this year it’s up to Jay Ambrose Jelly- makers to do it. A lot of people fail to give credit where credit is due. Capt. Charley Hyatt, the WAC recruiter, for some ten weeks, has been coaching Ambrose. And since Hyatt’s bench work, the Jellymakers have started to jell. Hyatt is just about the only man in basketball who can tell Ace Gruenig and Jack McCracken strategy and have those two greats follow instructions. The Acer has come back strong. Once again he is agile off the post and can pivot open and whip those long arms of his high into the air to bank that spheroid off the board and into the net. McCracken, a great guy and an amazing hardwood performer, is again showing his oldtime form at stealing passes and in general directing the club on the court.’ McCracken is driving-in under well for layup shots on screen and cut plays from the post too. North high’s sterling product, Chuck Hefti, is doing his share for the Ambrose cause as is Art “Ug” Unger. George Hamburg is an all-American cager in anyone’s book. One of the best defensive players in the game, Ham can also hit well with his favorite long, flat shot. The new acquisitions, Max Briggs, a big edition of popular Ken Jastrow, who can shoot, drive and fight plus Bob Hendren who tips 6-8, both from the Second Air Force, and dynamic Les McKeel, of Fitzsimons, a fine team player who can score, makes Ambrose certainly the number two choice. But don’t overlook Gail Bishop’s army team from the northwest, nor the Broncs from Ft. Warren, who can and may be troublesome for the favorites, plus plenty of other capable crews who will be in the field of more than 40 teams that start the hardwood parade Sunday. See you at courtside. May the best team win!

I quite agree with you that we should let the youngsters run their ow show. It develops then in this waye I think you have mde a very definite step forward in regard to better relationships. Personally, I have always been strong for such a program, and I congratulate you on taking the step. I believe we should do more of it. , Please give all the young folks my kindest regards and tell them it was a ee eee faculty. Tam posing on your Letter to Henry shank.

I have had it in mind fer a number of years to ask you to ce come oute I want to tell you that the youngsters were mightil impressed with what you had to say and are still talfing about it. It is my feeling that we could do quite a lot to improve the athletic relations between the University and K-State by working on our own youngsters and graduates, 65 percent of whom go to K-State. In time they could be a big influence for better sports smanship at K-State.

Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phogs We are in a "jam" getting paper for the March issue of "SWING" -—~ and as a result, there may be no March issue! If so, I am certainly going to be sorry about it - because in addi- tion to the swell article which you had furnished us on gambling and college athletics, young Larry Winn wrote a fine story about you — and we had the new picture made in our Studio, as well as an old picture of you “in action" on the Coach's Bench from a former issue of the Jayhawker. I am enclosing galley proof of your article, and the one by Larry. We are afraid that if we have to miss March, the basket-~ball mater- ial will not be timely in April - particularly, your own article. However, Jetta is holding everything in type; and if we "miss" this year, next year at the climax of the basket-ball season we are going to ask you for a special —— - and publish Larry Winn's article in the same issue. Would this meet with your approval? Cordially yours, A Donald Dwight Davis EN G : : DDD:AR In Kansas City § is to WHB : RADIO THE SAGE OF SWING Don Davis, the extraordinary president of WHB, publishes a magazine. The curious combination of a song, a suitcase, and a slogan has had a lot to do with the fortunes of Kansas City’s Station WHB, Mutual Broadcasting System affiliate. The song, Roses of Picardy, was a factor in the station’s sale in 1930; the suitcase is significant because Don Davis, WHB president, practically lives out of it as national station representative; and the slogan, “The Swing is to WHB in Kansas City,” sets the pitch for all WHB promotion. In his latest scheme, the unpredict- able Davis sliced off a bit of the slogan, emerged last month with a meaty, pocket-sized magazine titled Swing, An Apparatus For Recreation.* The curva- ceous young woman on a swing, who is featured in all WHB advertisements, became the cover girl of the new publi- cation (see cut p. 98). Modus Operandi Swing digests talks by Mutual com- mentators and public figures, seasons the serious reading with chatty com- ments on the local nightspots and thea- ters. Davis and editor Jetta Carleton, former WHB continuity head, explained they were striving for a balance in Swing comparable to that of good radio programming. Right now, Davis plans to distribute Swing gratis to advertisers and time buyers, print it on quotas al- lowed local commercial printers. He will also send plates of the copy to other Mutual stations for local printing under the title, Trend. Each issue of Trend, of course, will carry the adver- tising of the individual station circulat- ing it. While general newsstand circu- lation is only a dim hope for the future because of the paper shortage, Davis made a test on the newsstands in Kan- sas City, selling Swing at 25¢ a copy. Half the issues sold out in six days. Donald Dwight Davis, bespectacled, rotund and apple-cheeked, with a talent for slinging one quip after another, ambled out of the University of Kansas in 1918 with a Phi Beta key, a sense of humor and a fondness for drumming. Five years later he was a partner in * He is indebted to Noah Webster for the subhead. the advertising agency of Loomis, Bax- ter, Davis & Whelan, Inc. (Kansas City). One of the prize accounts was the Cook Paint & Varnish Co., which sponsored The Cook Painter Boys over Station WDAF, now the National Broadcasting Co. outlet in Kansas City. One of the Cook Painter Boys, burly John R. Wahlstedt, who had picked up the title of “Cook Tenor” in 1929, was the great delight of Charles R. Cook, president of the paint company. Cook especially liked Wahlstedt’s rendition of Roses of Picardy. When the program shifted from WDAF to WHB, Cook de- cided to buy the station, have real con- trol over his favorite tenor and pet tune. Costly Cook Tenor In 1930, when WHB became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cook Paint & Varnish, company officials settled back contentedly. But while the “Cook Tenor” continued in good ‘voice, the station lost money steadily: Roses of Picardy became a more and more ex- pensive treat. After a year and a half of this, President Cook asked agency- man Davis to try his hand at running the station. A pioneer in radio adver- tising from the agency angle, Davis saw the chance to put some of his ideas in action, promptly took over as president of WHB in 1931. A struggling operation with only a daytime broadcasting license, WHB ob- viously needed unusual promotion to WHB’S DAVIS He sliced off a bit of the slogan TIDE, FEBRUARY 15, 1945 wert TO GO wat TO SEE mi Kansas CTY JANUARY 1915 * gb WHB’S SWING Its future looks bright gain any notice. And Davis knew where to get it: he became national advertis- ing representative himself, now is prob- ably the only station president handling both jobs. In selling WHB, Davis em- ploys the special flourish distinguishing most of his activities, has arranged so that anyone can reach him with spec- tacular ease in any part of the U. S. Previously he had a telephone an- swering service in key cities, now has a setup with Spot Sales. When a time buyer interested in buying time on WHB telephones a Spot Sales office in New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Holly- wood or San Francisco, Spot Sales in- stantaneously contacts Davis, wherever he may be, by wire or telephone. Some- times within a matter of minutes, Davis is in touch with the prospective cus- tomer. — Conquistador Davis While Davis’ base of operations is Kansas City, in an average month he spends about a week in Manhattan, a few days in Chicago going and coming, perhaps jumps to the Coast and back. In between, he keeps up with his read- ing, the drama, aviation and padding his supply of anecdotes. And, besides the usual clubs, he is one of the plump- er Conquistadores del Cielo of New Mexico. Best known as WHB’s rambling rep- resentative, Davis is still responsible, along with station manager John T. Schilling, for the ingenious program- ming that has grabbed WHB the top rating for morning listening in Kansas City, long since gave the Cook company a paying proposition. WHB’s high rank is all the more remarkable because it operates on only 1,000 watts. Davis brought the original Musical Clock to Kansas City; his Weatherman in Per- son, was produced in 1932. was the first such service on the air; and he began _ (over) the. Northside Municipal Court broad- casts, a device later used in some 26 - cities. Generally, WHB features news and music, but it has a method of “block programming” which allows one period to feed into the other, caters directly - to a particular type of listener. In the morning, the station aims at the farmer, city worker and housewife. Typical fea- tures: livestock estimates at 6:25, Musi- cal Clock from 7:15 to 9:00, with the day’s market report on the fruits and vegetables available at 8:25, the Weath- erman broadcasting at 9:15 and various tips on the shopping prospects in the city. Davis carries “block program- ming” further than most other stations by carefully choosing music, announce- ments and other special ingredients to satisfy specific moods. The station fea- tures music in the afternoon, but has yet to attain the standing which its morning programs enjoy. Still Waiting Although John Schilling founded WHB back in 1922, the station still goes off the air at sunset, reaches its latest hours in June and July, when it subsides at 8:45 p. m. Davis has worked long and hard to get a full-time license, thought he had finally reached his goal, when the government’s recent “freeze order” on manpower and materials popped up to stymie it for the time being. While most station managers would remain discreetly mum about such matters, Davis has even discussed his troubles with the FCC in WHB ad- vertisements, as when in an ad devoted to Henry Goldenberg, WHB’s “calm chief engineer,”, he barked: “FCC please note! Our application for full- time operation on 710 kilocycles is still pending.” But Davis refuses to be seriously con- cerned with such temporary setbacks. Now 48, he has lived through a time which, as he puts it, “saw the kerosene lamp give way to the jet propulsion highball,” and he has enjoyed every minute of it. Bouncing about as he does, Davis has rafts of friends all over, is a frequent topic of conversation in the trade. In one such discussion he was termed a “wonderful fellow” whereupon another in the group, after musing a moment, said: ““‘Wonderful — perhaps —- but the word is picturesque.” TIDE, Fepruary 15, 1945 March de 1945, Mr. Larry Wim, Jr., American Red Cross, llth and Central, Kansas City, Mo.

First, I want to thank you for the very excellent picture you have mde. I think it is one of the best we have ever had taken. The faces are so clear that I honestly believe everyone of the subjects are, intensely pleased with their own individual photograph. I am passing on the bill to Mr. Easl Falkenstien, who will see that you are promptly remitted. I checked with the boys and stressed the importante of their getting the pictures, knowing with what diffioulty you are able to get print or any photograph paper at the present time. TI will have Mra. Hulteen explain to the boys your problem. Suppose we just wait until your supply is exhausted, and then for the others we will let the boys put up their money and leave their orders and you make them up as they come. | I know that we here in the Athletic Association shall want two. Upon second consideration, if agreeable to you, I will call for those two and you add that on this bill and it will save an additional check from the Athletic Association. Some time when I am down town I will eall for them. We will take two of the 20, and let the boys as they put up their money. I assure you your letter was very happily received, and I shall be glad at any time to call upon you when we want some first class artistry.

We want to thank you for your kind order of the basketball squad picture which came to us via your secretary. We don't know whether you know it or not, but the War has brought quite a change to the photography business. Photopraphic materials and supplies are rationed on a very restricted basis and some of the items are not obtainable at all. To make matters worse, we are informed that things will grow worse as we go along. Our experience has shown that in many cases people failed to call for pictures after they had ordered them and in numerous instances, efter they had paid for them. However, for the purpoge of clarifying matters, let us assure you thatwone of these incidents were experienced with you -- or yours. But, since some people become absent minded, careless or neglectful - whatever you wish to eall it, we found it necessary to adopt a rule to make only those pictures whieh are paid for when ordered. This rule is not being applied in the case of your basketball squad pictures. Although you secretary informed the undersigned that about 24 copies are desired by those in the group, we have made 20 of them and they are now ready. As soon as this number is exhausted, more will be mde. We hate to trouble you with these personal problems of ours for no doubt you have plenty of your own to content with. In closing, may we take this opportunity to tell you how grateful we are for your efforts to send business our way? It has been @ genuine pleasure to serve yous Cordially yours,
