National Farmers Union, Denver. Essentially the farm organ of Trumanite Democrats, with a voice that seems higher than its membership: 308,000 family memberships in 25 states, strongest in the wheat-growing states of North Dakota, Colorado, Oklahoma and Minnesota.

Like all sudsy sagas, these two have portentous titles (As the World Turns and The Edge of Night), vibrant organ "stings" at emotional moments, and time-consuming dialogue ("Penny, sometimes I don't get you." Penny, after a longish pause: "Sometimes I don't get myself"). Much of the nighttime drama was equally soapy. Robert Montgomery Presents featured Henry Jones as a lack-wit garage mechanic who first fails in an attempt to murder his wife...
