C. has arranged to cele brate the first day of Spring, March 21. with a special • musical skit called "Spring Has Cub." The broadcast will Inark the debut in the program production field of Miss Mable W. Phelps, supervising nurse in the N. B. C. first-aid room. Casting for the show has been left entirely to Miss Phelps and fate. The skit will be made up almoet entirely of sneezes and sniffles. In fact. Miss Phelps has notified artists eligible for the show that there will be no faking. Every member of the cast must have bronchitis, laryngitis and the sniffles. * * * * WILLIAM SLATER'S six-week ex periment with an entirely new kind of children's program—a news summary told from a young ster's viewpoint—was such a success that it has been renewed, to continue for an indefinite period over an Ν. B. C. network. Slater's "Junior Radio Journal" is on the air every Satur day at 11 a.m. Although Slater is headmaster at Adelphi Academy, in Brooklyn, his at titude toward the radio audience is anything but scholarly. He talks in the brisk manner he used during N. B. C.'s foot ball broadcasts last Fall. He points no morals. He uses no big words. He steers sternly clear of pa tronizing his young listeners. What stories does he pick from the week's news for the retelling on the "Junior Radio Journal"? How does he pick them? "The first thing I look for," he ex plains, "is news that directly con cerns 'kids.' In the Mohawk disaster, for instance, I told the whole story from the viewpoint of a 5-year-old boy who was saved, along with his baby brother. I didn't ignore the tragic element of the story, but I didn't stress it. That youngster wasn't conscious of the terrible consequences. He was impressed by the excitement, the bells ringing, the ship lurching. To tell the story from this angle isn't 'Pollyanna' distortion—it's honest ad herence to a real youngster's view point." Constructive? Educational? Parents and teachers are saying the "Junior Radio Journal" is both of these. But the youngsters say it's Interesting. They listen to it. SPRING fashions as they are dis played simultaneously on Fifth avenue and in more than 50 stores throughout the country will be described in a special Columbia broadcast Tuesday. Rosaline Greene, radio actress, will describe the new frocks as the models appear in New York and in stores of other cities, where reproductions will be shown at exactly the same time. * * * * RUDY VATJ.ee, whose present contract is effective until the end of the year, has signed an other for 1936 with his present spon sor. It provides for options which, If taken up, will extend until the end of 1941—a run which began October 24, 1929, and which has not missed a week. * * * * rE BIO SHOW," popular Co lumbia variety feature, also has been renewed for an indefinite period.

TOWSON, Md., March β.—Fifty-two family tombstones thrown into a swamp near Beckleysville 35 years ago to build a public road will be un earthed in an effort to establish claims to a $17,000,000 estate. Permission to excavate the road bed was given yesterday by the Baltimore County commissioners to attorneys for about 75 of some 4,000 claimants to the rich estate of Walter Garrett, Philadelphia snuff manufacturer. The grave markers are said to be from the family cemetery of descend ants of John Garrett, who settled many yean ago in this region. Upon their inscriptions rests hope of estab lishing kinship with the wealthy Philadelphia Garrett. About the beginning of this century the old burial ground was abandoned, and the grave shafts are said to have been carted to a section of the estate through which a new roadway was being constructed. Old residents say the largest granite piece was sunk at the Intersection of the old Falls road, the Armacost and the Bunker Hill roads. Workmen plan to begin digging up the tombstones today at the direction of the attorneys, Thomas M. Jenifer and Murray McNabb. Among those looking to the ponderous evidence thus produced to bolster their claims to a share of the fortune are B. Howard Garrett of My Ladys Manor, Mrs. Emma Haile of White House and Mrs. Dora Hare of Beckleysville. Mrs. Henrietta Garrett, widow of 'the founder of the fortune, died In 1930 and left a will disposing of only $62,500 of the gigantic sum. 1 Capital's Radio Programs t Wednesday, March 6.
