What Radio Means to Me 235 THE WIDE WORLD BUT TWO FEET AWAY concert consisted of selections by one hundred harps, vocal selections, etc. The patients told me that they enjoyed it a lot. Some of them decided that they would like to have radio sets and asked me if I would help them make them. I did, and soon there were twelve sets in our ward. No one but those who have had the experience can ever know how much enjoyment radio is giving to those who are shut in. To the person shut in, radio means more than just a new means of hearing music. Although the music we hear is excellent, the greatest benefit we derive from radio is the feeling of intimate touch with the world. We cannot go to the theatre nor the ball game, but thanks to radio they can and do come to us. A turn of the wrist and we have our choice of entertainment for the evening. Truly radio means much to me. Those in charge of our hospitals are coming to realize how much radio can help them in their great work, and as fast as they can, they are installing radio for the benefit of those in their care. Unfortunately, many hospitals have not the funds to install radio. However, I am sure when it is realized just how much radio means and how much good it can do, the funds will be found somehow. Radio began to interest me eighteen months ago and to-day I realize it has filled a place in my life that nothing else could ever do. What Would You Like to Have in Radio Broadcast?
