Knoxvllle Film Council In the spring of 1947, a group of Knoxville citizens organized a Committee for Public Understanding to work toward increasing the opportunities through which people in the community could get information on local, national and world affairs. Four sub-committees are in process of organization: radio, library, films and press. The sub-committee on films, called the Film Council, met first on October 20 to discuss organization. Seventyfive persons were present, representing all groups in town interested in the use of 16mm films. A second meeting was held on October 31 when Mr. Thurman White, Executive Secretary of the Film Council of America, was in Knoxville for the meeting of the East Tennessee Education Association. Mr. White was introduced by Mr. F. C. Lowry, Director of University Extension, University of Tennessee, and member of the Board of Trustees of the Film Council of America. He spoke on the organization of the Film Council of America and led a discusion on possible activities for the proposed Knoxville Film Council. Twenty-five persons were present even though Halloween and other meetings were strong competition. On November 18 the Knoxville Film Council met at the Lawson McGhee Library (Knoxville's Public Library) and elected officers. Mr. Malcolm Miller, a lumber broker and well-known music and art critic, was elected president ; Mrs. Wanda W. Johnston, Supervisor of Visual Education in the city schools, Vice-President ; and Miss Charlesanna Fox, Director of Group Services at Lawson McGhee Library, Secretary. Twelve board members were also chosen from the various groups which have expressed an interest in the use of 16mm films in the community. They include the Specialist in School and Community Service at the University of Tennessee; a business man who is a member of the Committee for Public Understanding ; three visual education dealers; a religious education director at one of the churches ; the president of the City Association of Women's Clubs ; the president of the Central Council of the Parent-Teachers Associa 92 Educational Screen
