- 11 - W01-TV DISCUSSION SERIES CONCLUDED MAY 1 With the program of May 1, The Whole Town's Talking, the adult education discussion series produced at WOI-TV in Ames in cooperation with the Fund for Adult Education, concluded its current series. A total of fifteen programs have been produced since January 3. There seems to be no question of the program’s effectiveness and adaptability to al¬ most any locality. People who have been asked to appear on the programs have been overwhelmingly cooperative and genuinely grateful for the opportunity to express their opinions. A recent program was centered around the problems of the Sac and Fox Indians who live in the Indian Settlement near Tama, Iowa. The Indians brought to the studios for the program responded eloquently to the questions posed by one of their tribal council leaders who moderated the program. Examples of the effectiveness of the programs are appearing throughout the state. In Hardin County, where the county school board had been commissioned in 19^6 to draw up a school reorganization map, and had not done so prior to the program, a map now has been drawn up, approved by groups throughout the county, and is now before state authorities for final ratification. In Toledo, Exira and Eldora, recreation boards have been set up to outline an effec¬ tive teen-age recreation program. WOI-TV's program on recreation was centered in Toledo, but the other communities were stimulated to action by watching the program. Exira was considered for a similar program, but after a mass meeting set up to arrange the show, the people went ahead to form the recreation council before the program could be scheduled. All the people of Exira needed was the glamour of a television camera at a meeting to stimulate them to act towards the solution of their problemI VIDEO COURSES BROADCAST IN OMAHA AND SALT LAKE CITY A series of six-week college courses, the first to begin in May, has been announced by the University of Omaha and station KMTV.
