Excerpt from Radio Service, 1932 Mother Thompson came out and opened the garage doors for me the other after noon. I knew what that meant! She wanted help. And sure enough, before I could get out of the car, she asked me to help her with the roses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Radio Service, 1932: With Uncle Sam's Naturalists Coyotes, Mr. Redington says, continue to present our most serious problems in predatory animal control. Hany people think of the coyote as being confined to the West; but they don't know the coyote. Those little Wlld dogs Vith the cold, calculating eyes are not only found in all the western part of this country, but are becoming scattered in the East. Last year, a coyote was killed near Jamieson, Florida, and another in the suburbs of Baltimore, wary land. In fact, coyotes are found from mexico to Alaska, and they seemed to have adapted themselves well to living in close touch With man.

Excerpt from Land-Grant College Radio Hour, 1932 Starting January 20 the land-grant college radio program will be broadcast on the third Wednesday of each month from to p.m eastern standard time. This change from the fourth Saturday in each month, as previous ly scheduled, was found to be necessary. It is felt that the middle of the week may be even more satisfactory for this program from the standpoint of adult farm folks than the end of the week. Please inform your local leaders and all other interested persons that from now on the land-grant college radio hour will go on the air always the third Wednesday in each month. Oklahoma and Illinois will be represented on the January 20 program. James Lawrence, who on February 1 will complete 18 years of continuous service as county agent in Oklahoma, will present some interesting observations of outstanding factors in extension development. The home-bureau members of Rock Island County, Ill., now have more time for family association, for training their children, for recreation, for reading, and for many other things they have wanted to do. What is the answer? They have learned how to manage their home tasks more ef ficiently, how to budget their time to avoid wasteful efforts and puttering. Miss Fern Carl, the home adviser, will tell what has been accomplished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Radio Digest, Vol. 27: May 1931-May 1932 Now that Sigmund Spaeth is known all over this country and in parts of Europe as a writer, a speaker, a teacher and a pioneer of Radio, it is rather good fun to try and put down, as clearly as he himself would wish, some of the impres sions of ten years spent almost entirely in his employ. (i might have said in his service, but that is a little too full of humility. After all every man of ability needs a lot of managing.)

Excerpt from Service Bulletin, 1939, Vol. 23 Beatty resigned from the Forest Service shortly after the original machine was finished in 1930. Not long afterward he was drowned while fishing in Puget Sound. The work of radio development has continued under the direction of A. G. Simson, in charge of the Forest Service radio laboratory at Portland. Since 1932 each successive year has been paced by additional discoveries and improve ments, corresponding disappointments and difficulties. And out of all this have grown the widely used sets of today. Though the newspapers and we ourselves may be prone to treat them with no more than an off-hand respect these sets are, even in a purely mechanical light, one of the out standing wonders of the radio world. Improvement must still go on, but when viewed in a utili tarian way their worth not only to the cause of conservation but to society as well al ready can hardly be evaluated either in dollars and cents or in words.

This book is the first full-length history of the BBC World Service: from its interwar launch as short-wave radio broadcasts for the British Empire, to its twenty-first-century incarnation as the multi-media global platform of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The book provides insights into the BBC’s working relationship with the Foreign Office, the early years of the Empire Service, and the role of the BBC during the Second World War. In following the voice of the BBC through the Cold War and the contraction of the British empire, the book argues that debates about the work and purposes of the World Service have always involved deliberations about the future of the UK and its place in the world. In current times, these debates have been shaped by the British government’s commitment to leave the European Union and the centrifugal currents in British politics which in the longer term threaten the integrity of the United Kingdom. Through a detailed exploration of its past, the book poses questions about the World Service’s possible future and argues that, for the BBC, the question is not only what it means to be a global broadcaster as we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, but what it means to be a national broadcaster in a divided kingdom.

Though historians have largely overlooked Robert Horton, his public relations campaigns remain fixed in popular memory of the home front during World War II. Utilizing all media -- including the nascent technology of television -- to rally civilian support, Horton's work ranged from educational documentary shorts like Pots to Planes, which depicted the transformation of aluminum household items into aircraft, to posters employing scare tactics, such as a German soldier with large eyes staring forward with the tagline "He's Watching You." Iconic and calculated, Horton's campaigns raise important questions about the role of public relations in government agencies. When are promotional campaigns acceptable? Does war necessitate persuasive communication? What separates information from propaganda? Promoting the War Effort traces the career of Horton -- the first book-length study to do so -- and delves into the controversies surrounding federal public relations. A former reporter, Horton headed the public relations department for the U.S. Maritime Commission from 1938 to 1940. Then -- until Pearl Harbor in December 1941 -- he directed the Division of Information (DOI) in the Executive Office of the President, where he played key roles in promoting the New Deal, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's unprecedented third-term reelection campaign, and the prewar arms-production effort. After Pearl Harbor, Horton's DOI encouraged support for the war, primarily focusing on raising civilian and workforce morale. But the DOI under Horton assumed a different wartime tone than its World War I predecessor, the Committee on Public Information. Rather than whipping up prowar hysteria, Horton focused on developing campaigns for more practical purposes, such as conservation and production. In mid-1942, Roosevelt merged the Division and several other agencies into the Office of War Information. Horton stayed in government, working as the PR director for several agencies. He retired in mid-1946, during the postwar demobilization. Promoting the War Effort recovers this influential figure in American politics and contributes to the ongoing public debate about government public relations during a time when questions about how facts are disseminated -- and spun -- are of greater relevance than ever before.
