Canada's First

This year, for the first time, Canadian Broadcasting Corp. was admitted to competition with U.S. programs for the annual awards of the Institute for Education by Radio at Columbus, Ohio. Result: CBC walked off with two top prizes in the 15-year-old contest (sponsored by Ohio State University).

One of CBC's prize-winning programs was judged "the best entry submitted in the whole exhibition." It was They're All Afraid, a psychological drama, written by Lieut. Len Peterson of the Canadian Army's public-relations radio branch.

CBC's second prize (for war reporting) went to a recorded program from Italy by Warcaster Matthew Halton, ex-Toronto Star correspondent. The Institute thought the program's use of battlefront sounds, cries and commentaries excellent, commended it to U.S. networks.
