Voice Coach Gives Lawmakers That 'My Friends' Personality
Washington, —(U.P)—Not all the racket on Capitol Hill is generated in the halls of congress. Much of it is put on wax and sent back home for all to hear.
Coar, who can talk a bit himself,
makes good speakers out of terrible
ones and excellent orators out of
pretty good ones. About 200 of the
law-makers make recordings regularly
and send them back to radio
stations in their home districts. Coar
can blow a gasket with the best and
he tells the big shots what is what,
grammar-wise and otherwise.
Not long ago, a freshman congressman, cocky as a May queen, delivered what he thought was a bell-ringing speech. Then he relaxed in a big leather chair while Coar played the record. When his own "blab" was blown back at him, the representative fumed. "Good heavens is that muck?" he asked, grammar grammatically correct. Coar did him it up, but it was "Coar we do it over!"
and the congressman. "That thing can't be on the air, I'd be ruined." "Sure. And this time," the movie expert advised, "take it easy. Pretend you are talking to a friend in his living room. He wouldn't want you to yell at him." The young lawgiver today is one of the best speakers in the house.
Senators have their troubles, too. Once, an old-timer put a stirring speech on wax and then waited to hear it played back. Right in the midst of a "now-my-dear-constituents, etc" sentence, there came a burp and a couple of "gulp gulps" that were not in the script. The dignified senator did the thing over and explained that his upper plate had flopped out while he was orally driving home a point.
A lot of the "biggies" patronize the studios and the output of records averages about 200 daily. Effectiveness of such broadcasts became apparent when Karl Mundt, (R-S.D) won his campaign for the senate almost entirely by radio. When he was in the house he was too busy to go home and beat the bushes. Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R-Ohio), sends home canned speeches which are broadcast over 44 stations each week. Other regulars are Sen. Pat

Schools Need Traffic Safety
Intensification of traffic safety programs in public schools was recommended at a traffic safety conference held at the University March 18.
The conference was planned by Dr. Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, for the purpose of formulating overall, continuing traffic safety programs in the state. Representatives of a dozen different agencies concerned with this program in Kansas attended the conference.
The recommendation was made that K.U. and other schools develop regular courses in safety education including all hazards as well as traffic regulations. It was felt that the week-long driver instructor course offered by K.U. would be inadequate to supply enough instructors if the idea should catch on in the public schools.
Agreeing that safety education is needed in all age groups, the conferences stressed the importance of intensive work with succeeding generations of teen-agers to insure success of the program.
At present 126 out of 700 Kansas high schools have driver training courses for which credit is given.

The service is one of the few in the government that can show a profit. The government pays in $24-000 a year in salaries and $1 a year to Coar for use of his equipment. The congressmen have to pay $3.50 a platter plus express charges. Today the studios show a surplus of $54-000.
South Africans Continue Tribal Bundling As A Quaint But Satisfactory Custom
Berkley, Calif—(U.P.)—Bundling, once a happy custom in colonial America, has been "Unionized" in one south African tribe, an anthropologist reported recently.
Dr. Edwin M. Loeb, research associate at the University of California who has just completed an analysis of "courtship and the love song," said the business of finding a mate is much more intricate, ingenious and spontaneous among the natives than in the United States.
Dr. Loeb said the natives still practice certain customs which once were common to nearly all peoples but which have been lost in modern civilized society. They include the use of love songs, verses, the exchange of riddle between boy and girl, bundling and secret language of courtship. To a limited degree some of the customs still exist among the peasants of Europe, he said.
The "unionized" bundling takes place among the Dinka tribe in Africa, where boys of one age group have exclusive rights to bundle with girls in the same age group. When a young Dinka boy is smitten with

Loeb said the bundling among South African natives is very chaste and is officially supervised, although the natives customarily wear no clothes.
a girl, he must consult with his fellows. If they approve, he then approaches the girl to obtain her consent. It's a form of collective bargaining.
