of our people. For better or for worse you are opinion makers in the

community and it is important that you remain aware of the power which

is potential in your vocation. The masses of Americans who have been

denied and deprived educational and economic opportunity are almost

totally dependent on radio as their means of relating to the society at

large. They are the thousands of people who have come to feel that life

is a long and desolate corridor with no exit signs."
