We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
- 3 - TBE VOICE OF PURDUE WBAA now has a permanent-line outlet on a street corner in the middle of down-town Lafayette. Five broadcasts a week go through this new outlet. Using the basic "man- on-the-street” technique for all, variety is injected through different slants. The programs are: a sports questionnaire; a court of motor safety, during which a state policeman stops cars for the announcer’s queries; a woman shopper program; a movie questionnaire; and a week-end finale Saturday afternoon, with questions on local and general affairs. Free complimentary tickets to a local ball-park are offered to the participants in the sports program, and free tickets to all the local movie theatres are handed out on the movie questionnaire. "It is interesting to note," says Williams, "that in the latter case ducats are handed out in sealed envelopes, with neither the announcer nor the recipient knowing the identity of the theatre involved. And all this with no word of publicity for the local theatres or their attractions, as only general questions on the movie trade are used. Here’s cooperation between local merchants and an educational station."
