WOI-TV SERIES REPORT - 6 - As of March 27, the Fund for Adult Education and WOI-TV have produced 11 programs in the current weekly series, "The Whole Town’s Talking," which features Iowa Community problems. Citizens from each community appear before the IC>I-TV cameras to air their views on the specific community problem as they see it. And their discussions have been lively ones. Schools reorganization was the first problem to be tackled by the FAE production staff. First the small community of Cambridge, la., served as the basis for a school discussion. Viewing groups were set up in the town to watch the program and to hold further discussions afterward. This same procedure has been enlarged and repeated in each community represented since that time. Five programs were centered around the school problem theme, ending with a slam-bang affair at the Statehouse in Des Moines. Following two interim programs of evaluation by the Iowa Advisory Committee for the FAE and by viewers who had expressed opinions of the program through letters to the station. Cedar Rapids exporters met with representatives of the sugar beet industry on February 21 and the dairy industry on February 28, to discuss problems of econ¬ omic interdependence. A broadcast from Slater on Iowa’s school bond issue, basically a problem of athletics as compared with academic work, was the next program in the series, followed by problems of teenage recreation in Toledo, a courthouse building issue in Guthrie Center, and a county hospital plan in Humboldt. A number of interesting developments have been noted following the programs. School district reorganization plans have been drawn up and completed by Hardin County since the program two months ago. Teenage recreation councils have been set up in three towns following the program on Toledo’s problem one month ago, and the Slater bond issue was voted upon and defeated, although the latter may or may not have been a result of the program.
