world. People from all walks
Of life recognize him as a bright
star in the world Of entertain
ment.
Why is this true? Many
other young men must have
entered the exciting field of
radio in the mid-1930s in much
the same way.
But the man, starting as an
announcer with a local station
in Oakland, California went on
to originate, produce and star
in some Of radios bestowed
shows. When television became
the prime entertainment med
ium in our country, Ralph Ed
wards was ready. He was a
pioneer in programming. He
adapted for television, and sta
rred in, the popular show
which he had created for radio,
Truth Or Consequences" He
created, produced and starred
in "This Is Your Life" created
and produced "Place The Face"
ct Could Be You" and many
others.
What made this success pos
sible? Well, Robert Browning
once wrote, "Would you have
your songs endure? Build on
the human heart" And that's
exactly what Ralph Edwards
has done. His radio and tel
evision have always been died.
icated to showing the values
of man - humorous sometimes
poignant sometimes = but
wholesome ALWAYS.
And this is what you would
expect from a man who has
given himself untiringly to
countless projects. He was the
recipient Of the Eisenhower A
ward for outstanding service as
a war bond salesman for the
Treasury Department. His pre-
sent visit to Miss. is as a rep
resentative of the Nationa Can
Ger Society. Off "the air." as
we'll as on, Ralph Edwards is
interested in his fellowman.
In December, 1854, Mr.. Ed
wards, enthralled by the story
of "The Little Professor OF
Piney Woods, brought the work
of Laurence Jones to the atten-
ton of a national television
audience on the secretly plan
ned "This Is Your Life" pro-
gram.
Mr.. Edwards saw in DR.. Jones
and his school the wholesome
ness - the dedication to service
which he had always keenly
admired. And at the close OF
the program he made television
history when he made a per-
sonal appeal to viewers, sug-
costing to them that they send
in dollar bills to aid in raising
a permanent fund for Piney
Woods.
Money for the fund came from
throughout the United States
and other countries. Letters
poured into Piney Woods by the
thousands, containing individual
contributions as high as 81 900.
