WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY? FIRST PRIZE ATTENTION, FUTURE MOTHERS! IN my position of medical officenurse, I notice a growing number of queries and fears voiced to me by future mothers. It is only natural for humanity to fear the unknown, and fear is easily instilled in the mind that does not yet know how safe childbirth can be with today's medical science. Such fear. I believe, can be instilled by the constant repeating of fiction stories in radio serials, concerning women who die in childbirth. I have heard as many as two such portrayals in one day on different programs. The ratio of such perils is very small compared with the triumphs, and to women contemplating childbirth, such roles' might impress them erroneously. — Mrs. Roy W. Taylor, Portland, Oregon. SECOND PRIZE LET'S MAKE IT A GAME! As an English teacher in a rural school, I've found the radio a marvelous help in teaching English. Since the rural child's vocabulary is often woefully limited, I had my students get two words each day from some radio program. At the close of school each student had added over three hundred new, usable words to his vocabulary. Radio is playing an increasingly important part in education.— Jess F. Blair, Brownfield, Texas. THIRD PRIZE SOMETHING TO REMEMBER "Arch Oboler's Plays!— On the wings of the night we bring you a story, whispered in the night." Thus opens a dramatic program that to my mind is incomparable with any other. A program that always contains that very necessary element of surprise. The actors do their jobs superbly well, particularly Raymond Johnson. My only criticism is that the music on several programs has been too loud.— Sidney Lanier, Jacksonville, Fla.
