DEVELOPMENT OF POSSIBLE RESOURCES Here's a contribution of L. L. Longsdorf, Program Director for KSAC, Man¬ hattan, Kansas: "In looking ahead and planning for the future development of our educational programs by radio, it seems imperative that we should not neglect the possibilities of developing the commercial radio station outlet. The directors of these stations are most instrumental in shaping and planning the concerted efforts of their listen¬ ers. Similar to the editors of our daily and weekly newspapers, these directors are ever alert to the changing elements that are influencing the thoughts and ac¬ tions of the peoples of America* "Their opinions are at all times creeping into the innermost thoughts of our rural and industrial centers* Through their radio contacts, they are at all times guests to the listeners, listeners who come to know these directors and their asso¬ ciates as next-door neighbors, as purveyors of the opinions of National and World leaders, and as individuals to whom to turn in shaping their opinions and judgments prior to taking action* "These directors of our commercial radio stations should not, and cannot rightfully, be left out of the educational institution picture. "Granted that this source of communication should be encouraged, how might we go about the problem of its development? "Is it not possible for us to discuss with these radio directors the field of work in which we are engaged? "Is it not possible for us to passion to them the opinions of farm and city peoples with whom we associate? "Is it not possible for us to interest the directors in a cooperative endeavor, along with our interests, in improving the standard of living of our countrymen?
