Sixteen THE EVENING NEWS. SAULT STE. MARIE, MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1953 Sault Area Educational Fim In Family Series TV Committee Organized Lectureg Organization of a committee to advance the use of television as a medium of education in the great- er Sault area was effected Tuesday noon at a luncheon meeting at the Hotel Ojibway. Eighteen residents of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Ontario, attended the meeting as guests of Earl Minderman of the National Citizens Committee for Educational Television.

At the suggestion of Minderman, said the Sault should do every-' thing in its power to preserve an Ultra High Frequency Television channel assigned to this area for educational purposes, the group agreed to act as a nucleus committee to keep interest alive in this medium of communication. As a result, Fred Elliott of the Sault tvas elected chairman and Mrs. James Robertson was elected secretary. whose committee is designed to promote and stimulate the use of television as a means of education, said he came to the Sault as this area has already applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a UHF tele- Minderman told the group he realized great difficulties would be encountered in establishing a television station which would not be supported by commercials. He told of activities in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit and other areas where all educational and cultural groups band together as a non-profit organization and seek funds from foundations, subscriptions and other means to build stations and to operate.

He said a minimum figure for the establishments of such a station, which would provide only antenna and transmitter, would he about $170.000 at least $20.000 to operate. There would be no TV cameras for local programming, but educational films and kinescopes from other areas could be broadcast from such a station. He said the designs of the FCC provide for a broad coverage of educational and cultural subjects, and that the service is provided for a selected audience interested in such things. Present at the meeting were the Rev. Fr.

Elmer Bares of Loretto; Richard Burnett of WSOO; Dr. Dr Helen M. Tpwes. a specialist on the young school child, will be the first of five lecturers to conduct a series of discussions entitled "Let's Use What We Know About Growing Children." The first lecture is scheduled for 8 p. m.

Thursday, Sept. 24, at Washington school. Mrs. TOWRS has chosen 'The Parent's Role" as her topic for discussion. The series is intended for fathers, mothers and teachers who are seek- a deeper insight and understanding into the behavior of children.

The speakers in this series are all parents and are well qualified by reason of training and experience to talk about child growth. The lectures are sponsored by the extension service of the University of Michigan in cooperation with the public school system of the Further information may be secured concerning this series by speaking with Superintendent of Schools Foss Elwyn or David Rip- iev. director of Aduit Education, in the Sault schools.

It was agreed by Minderman that several years may elapse before the Sault Ste, Marie area, which would embrace an international zone of about 50 miles in diameter, be ready for television. He urged, however, that local committees be ready to employ this medium as a means of education when the opportunity arises. There has been great demand. Minderman said, for TV channels by educators. As a result the FCC assigned 12 per cent of the channels available for educational purposes and one of these channels was made available to Sault Ste.

Marie. He pointed out that when radio developed, educators could see little need for radio channels, and as a result only a few were taken when they were made available for educational purposes. radio spectrum contains only a certain number of channels. and as a result these have become extremely valuable, he said. After the educators realizing they had fallen behind on radio channels, saw great prospects in the then developing television trade, and requested channels for educational purposes, he said.
