Irene Ostrander presided and
welcomed a number of guests.
Mrs. Florence Robinson of
Crater Finance, Central Point,
was welcomed as a new mem
ber. Speaker was James Dunlevy,
manager of Radio Station KYJC,
whose topic was "Suppose
They'd Never Invented Radio?"
Mr. Dunlevy spoke of the im
portant part which mass com
munication plays in modern
times, and said that because of
newspapers, magazines, radio
and television, citizens of the
United States are the best in
formed in the world.
Granting that television is a
powerful and dynamic medium
of mass communication because
it combines the human voice
with visual transmission, he
pointed out that it still is lim
ited in its scope. "Mom can't
cook and watch television, and
men can't combine shaving and
TV., he said, and added that
many tasks, and recreation, can
be combined with radio listen
ing. Many new radio stations have
been licensed by the Federal
Communications commission in
recent years, the speaker said,
and there are now about 75 sta
tions in each of the 48 states.
Surveys shows that Americans
have about 142 million sets, with
132 million in homes and cars,
and 10 million in public places.
About one out of every three
kitchens has a radio, and there
are some 22 million sets in bed
rooms. Mr. Dunlevy reviewed the
type of program now being
broadcast by radios. This in
I eludes news from all parts of
