To stimulate his threshing in the sea, the Blue Network sound man set up a trough of water in which he planned to slosh about with a pair of paddles. Shortly before the broadcast, Frank MacCormac, announcer on the Jack Armstrong series, THE BATTALION TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 8, 1944 FEATURED ON WTAW Popular Don McNeill, famed em cee of the “Bceakfast Club” pro gram, celebrated June 23, his 11th anniversary on this BLUE week day fun-feature. Don's beginning to think it’s steady work! secretly dumped two pounds of bubble-bath powder into the trough. When the sound man began striring. foam rose up and spilled over the sides of the trough.

Quipped Don McNeill, m.c. of the Breakfast Club: “Nancy’s so im pressed by his beard that she can’t sing above a whisker.” * * * While not attempting to mini mize the devastating effect of the Nazis robot bombs, Ted Malone, Blue Network broadcaster from England, says: “Honestly, I don’t think there is any more chance of one person in England being killed by a robot bomb than there is of one person in the United States being killed by a car. The differ ence is that death in this way is much more spectacular, more dra matic.” Malone’s broadcasts, titled Top of the Evening, are heard Mon day’s, Wednesday and Fridays at 9:15 p.m., CWT, and consist main ly of chatty intimate stories about G.I. Joes. His reactions to robot bomb attacks, like other experi ences of his abroad, are expressed in warmly written letters 'to his wife. Concluding his comments on the robots, Malone says: •We over here get an eerie feeling inside, knowing they are coming over; we get a scare, watching them fall. But, as far as being in danger, we are no more so than from automo biles at home, from lightning, or any of the other ^unforeseen’ dan gers that threaten anybody any time.” ' * * * Lynn Martin, lovely vocalist on the Blue Network’s Scramby Amby quiz program, heard Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m., CWT, is known to LOUPOT’S Watch Dogr of the Aggies millions of film fans—not by her face—by her voice.
