Nth COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION BOX 911. HARRI8BURG THE •UPKRINTKNDHNT August 4, 1959 Mr. Clair R. McCollough President and General Manager Station WGAL-TV Lancaster, Pennsylvania Dear Mr. McCollough: On behalf of the 40,000 students and over 1,100 public and nonpublic school teachers in the Lancaster viewing area I wish to extend sincere thanks and appreciation for the cooperation of Station WGAL-TV in televising the science program during the past school year. It is gratifying to know that your station will again provide students and teachers with public service time during the coming schdol year. You may be interested to know that, with the two programs your station is planning to show, we estimate that close to 85,000 students in the public and nonpublic schools in the twenty-county area will be viewing these telecasts during the school year 1959-1960. This increase is due to the fact that we are offering a science program for the intermediate school (Grades IV, V, and VI) and a speech improvement program for the primary grades. It should be gratifying to you to know that as far as we have been able to ascertain the science series which reached approximately 40,000 children last year was one of the most comprehensive projects which had been undertaken by any commercial television station in the nation. You certainly are to be commended for your complete cooperation in making the public service features of your station available for school instruction purposes. Sincerely yours Charles H. Boehm These weekly programs are two of the many educational series regularly telecast by WGAL-TV. WGAL-TV Lancaster, Pa. V NBC and CBS ^ STEINMAN STATION • Clair McCollough, Pres.
