CLAIMS TO FAME To help create greater understanding of radio's contribution to community life, this series will highlight the development of stations who subscribe to RADIO SHOWMANSHIP for their advertisers in various parts of the country. On May 1, 1922, a few people were hearing a small voice. A voice by means , of five watts of power. Today that void has risen to 5,000 watts, and CKOC, Ham ilton, Ontario, has risen with it. j That hrst transmitter and equipnuiu was designed and btiilt by CROC's chic I engineer, L.es Horton. Les is still wiih CKOC! The face of the studio set-up has tmcU t gone a great change, and in Novembei 1940, a complete broadcast station was opened. With inodihcations, it is the present set-up, but future plans call for an even greater extension of studio broadcast facilities to go hand-in-hand with increased power, soon to be in use. A program highlight, the Good Deea Radio Club is now in its thirteenth yeai of continuous weekly broadcasting, anc boasts over 100,000 members in the ini mediate area alone. Webb's Seeds, spon soring Dick, the Aiuoteur Gardener anc Hirst's Songs Our Soldiers Sing hav( contributed greatly to the audience growth of CKOC.
