' Radio Stations Topic at Kiwanis Community service is per haps radio's greatest value to day, Jim Frost, general man aager of the Oregon Associ ation of Broadcasters, de clared in a talk at the Medford Kiwanis club noon luncheon yesterday. .. . The radio medium of com munication, he pointed out, meets a good many urgent community needs. Frost spoke of the value of radio in emer gency conditions and of its importance in national de fense. He termed radio as in dispensilbe and stressed how people of this country depend on it for information and en tertainment. Radio, Frost reported, reaches into close to 89.5 per cent of the homes in the Unit ed States in a normal seven day week. Programs on radio today are geared to individual mem bers of families rather than to members of families as a unit. He discussed the abund ances of outlets and choice of stations which figure in ; this aspect. i Frost told Kiwanis of the significant increase in radio stations in the country ' in the last 10 years, particularly in the past five, despite the ad vent of television. He men tioned, also, that the average household has three radios. - The luncheon was at Rogue Valley Country club.
