THIRD PRIZE Will Wonders Cease?
Radio has done a great deal to reshape my mode of living. At 7 a.m. I start for the front door at the sound of the morning paper hitting the stoop, but I'm interrupted by the news broadcast bringing me the headlines first.
At 8:30 a.m. my shopping list for the day is completed, but before noon I've rehashed the entire list because various programs have broken through my sales resistance and changed the pattern of my menus. The kitchen clock is covered with dust, but I never notice it because the radio keeps me abreast of the time.
