This booklet was sent to leaders in education, religion, government, professions, labor, and business. It reported on WCKTs efforts to meet community, educational, spiritual, and informational NEEDS. Accompanying the Report, WCKT furnished these leaders a questionnaire asking, "IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE, WHAT ARE SOUTH FLORIDA'S GREATEST NEEDS AS OF NOW?" \niong the "NEEDS" projects recommended. WCKT has created and aired three 60-minute documentaries: CUBA ON THE MOVE— delving into the Cuban population influx and the problem, of Communism; YANKEE DOLLAR— a study of Florida tourism; ROOTS IN SAND— a look at juvenile delinquency. MIAMI CON DEMNED, dealing with badly-needed slum clearance, is being readied for 60-minute airing. Among 30-minute programs broadcast were DELEGATION FROM FLORIDA— interviews with delegates to the political convention; CRYING CITY — studying rejuvenation of downtown Miami; SILENT VOICE — comparing the American free vote with non-democratic processes elsewhere; FLORIDA'S FUTURE— pointing up integration problems.
