I hope to have the kind of music that will appeal to the housewife as she goes about her early morning tasks. Not the kind of music that will appeal to the teenager and not classical music. “I hope to bring interviews of people who are in the news. Someone who has an interesting hobby, someone who has taken a civic position. Or maybe someone just to come on the show and bat an idea around. “I plan to have recipes. I don’t want to have recipes that I have taken out of some book some place. I want recipes that have been tried in a local kitchen, reci pes that somebody can say ‘This is my favorite recipe for chess pie, for example. I make it all the time, so I can vouch for it.’ “On my program I hope to have fashion notes. And I want some thing of interest. I don’t know of any other way of phrasing it except that. Every day I want something interesting. It might be an inspirational anecdote or a book review or a movie review or \ something humorous. We all like something to make us laugh. “Yes, I will very definitely be interested in the farmer’s wife. My program will not be slanted to the upper crust or elite. No, not so much the career girl. The career girl will not, I don’t imag ine, be numerous among the listen ing audience because of the time. My interest in the career girl will ' be purely of an academic nature. 11 want to do a little biographical ; thumbnail sketch every now and I then of the career women in the news.” ! The program will be beamed from 9:30 to 10:30 each morning. “My early ambition was to be a newspaper reporter. I have al Mrs. Fred Chamblee ways been interested in anything literary. Nobody influenced me. I just wanted to do that. “I went to the University of Ver mont with every intention of pur suing my intended, profession. I was a columnist for the “Cynic,” the college newspaper. I did pro files and articles on the BMOC, big men on campus. I liked it ! for I got to meet all the big men on the campus. “After two years at UV I had to quit because of family financial straits. My father was an archi tect. He always said one of the world’s greatest. But even so the family’s finances dwindled and I had to leave college. “It was then that I enrolled in one of Boston’s exclusive secretari al schools, Chandler School. After one year there I went to work with State Street Trust Co., one of the most famous banking firms in New England. “Then World War II broke out. Everywhere you looked Uncle Sam was pointing his finger say ing ‘I need you.’ The day after Pearl Harbor I went to Washing ton and became a member of the Secretary of War’s personnel. “I later gave up this job be cause of transportation. Trans portation in Washington was in tolerable during the war. I found another job with a newspaper syn dicate headed by James H. R. Cromwell, then the husband of Doris Duke. “I was married May 13, 1942. My husband was assistant admin istrative assistant to former U. S. Senator Robert R. Reynolds of Asheville and the late U. S.
