RADIO COMMITTEE FILES,, 1942-1948.

Summary:Documentation relating to the creation and production of radio programs. The Radio Committee also arranged for guest appearances on programs dealing with women's issues or politics.

Documents include scripts, a budget, rules for script writers, correspondence and an oversize blueprint of "Leaguesboro", a fictional town which was the basis for a League radio series.

More than half of the Radio Committee Files are composed of scripts for radio broadcasts written for different radio programs, including The Women's Forum and Leaguesboro broadcasts. The radio scripts cover a variety of political issues and seek to educate listeners on such things as election law, legislative procedures, voting, political parties and civic responsibility. Other scripts tackle specific issues, such as the rewriting of the New Jersey Constitution or child labor. The Leaguesboro scripts focus on support for the war effort, as well as efforts to keep international peace at the end of the war. The rest of the series consists of correspondence related to the Committee and radio broadcasts, such as requests for scripts, letters from script writers, a survey of other League of Women Voters chapters, letters to and from guests, and correspondence with radio stations.
