Last month WLW announced a United Nations Essay Contest. Open to all members of our audience, we used this means to try to determine how WLW could best contribute to the interest in, and understanding of, the United Nations.
To the three persons submitting the best answers (in the opinion of the presidents of the state universities of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia) WLW awarded a 4-day, expense-paid trip to New York by air to witness important sessions of the UN Assembly. The party left Cin
cinnati December 2, accompanied by a WLW representative.
The results of the contest far exceeded our expectations. The subject, while extremely important to us, was not one of mass appeal. Thus, we were both surprised and pleased when nearly 500 essays were submitted— not just from students and teachers, but from listeners of all ages and in many walks of life. Most important, we received many practical, well-conceived ideas and suggestions.
The three winners were . . .
Miss Lucille Foreman, teacher of Journalism and American Literature, Harding High School, Marion, Ohio,
Miss Hedvika Lucas, 16year-old high school student of Cuyahoga falls, Ohio. Born in Czechoslovakia, Miss Lucas and her parents fled across western Europe just ahead of the Nazis and arrived in America in 1942 after surviving two ship torpedoings.
Edward R. Bartlett, Dean of DePauw University, Green Castle, Indiana, and now in his 24th year as a member of that school's faculty.
The suggestions and ideas offered in the essays are being studied now and will serve as the basis for a series of broadcasts and activities which we sincerely hope will stimulate the interest of our listeners and contribute to their understanding of the concept of the United Nations.
