Dispelling two popular Illusions about radio, namely that salaries are fabulous and the work is play. Art Kirkham, chief announ cer ot KOIN, Portland, presented to the Salem Credit association yesterday noon behind - the - mike tacts about radio. Kirkham characterized radio as a seren-day responsibility, and pointed to the Dick Powell Friday night program as a specific in stance ot 35 rehearsal hours tor presentation ot one hour of enter talnment on the fair Expenses Are High ,. Reports of .seemingly big sums paid to radio stars fall to' take In to account the way . these sums dwindle when the star pays his corps ot secretaries, assistants and ether members of his cast, Kirk ham said. What's more, the fade outs comes quickly In the highest paying spots on the radio, he de clared, recounting the instance of one early star whose radio career burned brightly for three years only. "Radio has burned out a life time ot success in Just three years time the announcer .. avowed In pointing to the grind and work entailed. Kirkham, who has been with radio 13 years, said that KOIN has 60 full time employes on egular salary, with 27 or 28 employes on part time basi. 'Comment by mail is' the life blood of the radio," Kirkham said In prefacing the reading of-a num ber of , 'letters received from radio fans. Radio stations watch closely the listener reaction as revealed by these letters, he said, and urg ed that snch letters be specific in the criticism, if such the letter offers, and that persons writing to the stations give their proper , names. : Contact Camp of Reservists Looms Col.
