«* 8 *» of Listening to KSAC; Irregular Hours; and Comments by Listeners* In addition to the above, policies of state-owned eduoational stations are discussed at length and much valuable information is presented as a result of a questionnaire survey. From the above it would seem that such a survey could be of extreme value to every educational station. It offers a means whereby the station director may obtain definite data as to the effectiveness of his programs, as well as the listeners and area served at all times. Too many good programs fail because they are more or less a "shot in the dark." This would be corrected if a yardstick in the form of such a survey were available for reference. A communication from T, Atherton Dixon, The Travel and Industrial Development Association of Great Britain and Ireland, British Empire Building, Rockefeller Center, 620 Fifth Avenue, New York, advises that a series of fourteen-minute talks by well known writers is available free of charge.
