SOUTHPQRT, N. C LISTEN TO THIS ]!: By TOM FIZDALE | (< One of radio's strangest contracts went into effect with the initial broadcast of Joe E. Brown's new Saturday comedy series, over the tj CBS network. Gill and Demling, comics who support the screen's pv "Owh-h-hh-h" man in the regular line-up, j also are contracted to write the entire show. jjS&ui"We're in a swell spot," Frank Gill, senior st member of the versatile team, declares. ei "On Mondays we'll send the script over to n< wf Giil and Demling, and they'll call up the j fi i " sponsor and say it smells. On Saturdays, ! p, laySr we'll get together after the show and blame ?they up Bands may come and bands may go, but " when the history of American music is rccorded for posterity it is very probable that fiWg&Ft W? the name of Paul Wiiiteman will stand at the I tl head of those conductors of popular music ' ,v'10 ,lave contributed most to the modern )?

"Please," she asked Cecil Underwood, producer of the top-flight broadcasts, | ' "don't ask me to flutter mv hands. Dearie me, if anyone else asks me [ to do that I think I'll scream." Underwood assured her that she needn't | Jworry. She couldn't flutter her hands and read her script, too. e! Parkyakarkus, the Greek dialect comedian, is writing his own die- 1 tionary, says he, in self-defense. Parky says too many people have j been misunderstanding him. ^ Even though Benny Goodman has been playing personal appearance j dates in the mid-west, his swingstcrs have been causing near-riots in the Boston vicinity. Seems that so many jitterbugs got to gathering at the | bi WEEI transmitter in Medford, Mass., to hear the broadcasts that police | f, have to be assigned every Tuesday night to keep them from trucking , the station off the air. Here's a tip for farm boys and girls. Joan Blaine, star of the da-ly e' Valiant Lady dramas on NBC, reveals that she won her early dcclama- hi tion honors, which led to lite stage, by reciting to the cows and pigs on bi her father's Iowa farm. They can't talk back, cither. S According to statistics. inly 8 per cent of the people in the United '' States attend church, but Dr. Charles E.
