Hobby Lobby Drafts Hayesi
For Nationwide Broadcast
II H Sully Gray
Tuesday the 24th. The tiny it sur-|
prised its all by snowing. Dr. Hayes
was surprised, too, but not by the
snow—lie got his prize jolt from a I
telephone call from New York.
"Could you come a week later?"
pleaded Dave Klnifin. director of Hob
by l.obby. •'Von see. they're going to
rate the program on March T. and,
we'd like to have you on then." Dr. |
Hayes quaked in his hoots, and pro
tested that he was a rank amateur,
but Mr. Kliiian thinks his gestures will
be just the tiling —after all. he main
tains, we all make them.
So now it's all been arranged, and
when you tune in 011 Hobby Lobby a
week from today, there will be your
Spanish prof, and you can brag about
how you "knew him when."

I Contldentiar.y, Dr. Hayes didn't quite .
know whether r not he liked the idea
of appearing on this program. The
last time be listened to it. the special 1
attraction was a talking dog who re-
I fused to give. The feature was post-
J poned till a later date, and Dr. Hayes
had visions of trying to compete with |
this educated canine. Hut the dog lias
already sented to perform, so l>r.
! Hayes will be safe.
Dr. Hayes is interested in showing
how gestures are a part of folk langu
age. Since this is a folklore project ,
as well as a liohhy, he hopes that some
of the people who hear the program
will send in gestures that he can add
to his collection.
He is also interested in finding out
what goes on behind the scenes at the
Columbia Broadcasting company.
