Wilton E. Cobb, General Manager, WMAZ, Macon, Institute General Chairman, voted "Radio Man of the Year" by Digamma Kappa, first exclusive radio fraternity in country, Mr. Reinsch, who it is reported, is writing a book which Harper’s will publish, "How to Run A Successful Radio Station" was awarded an honorary membership in the fraternity.
Addressing the Georgia Institute, Mr. Reinsch said, in
part :
"As the president said at the opening of the UN Conference in New York, » Since wars begin in the minds of men, the defense of peace must be constructed in the minds of men, and a free exchange of ideas and knowledge among peoples is necessary.'
"We in radio must be internationally minded. Our radio managers, program directors, news editors all must know interna¬ tional events, must learn to interpret international news, must take the lead in their communities in promoting peace not alone with fine network shows but with locally conceived and produced programs.
"This is a difficult task. Destiny, however, has given American radio the challenge of the ages. May we have the wisdom, courage and foresight to use our facilities to accept the challenge and help build a lasting peace. "
