It is not too much to hope that in the near future no radio-equipped home in the length and breadth of the land will be without available programs in which its members can get up-to-the-minute discussion of local, regional, and national problems."

Office of Education series now circulating through the Script Exchange are the WORLD IS YOURS (Smithsonian Institution series), BRAVE NEW WORLD (Pan-American Series), LET FREEDOM RING (the story of the Bill of Rights), AMERICANS ALL — IMMIGRANTS ALL (contri¬ butions of racial groups to the Nation), WINGS FOR THE MARTINS
