Since the “White Falcon” ceased
publication three weeks ago due
to the observance of the Icelandic
vacation period, several new ser-
ies have made their appearances
on Channel 8. This week marks
the beginning of two more series,
“Land of the Free” and “True
Adventure.”
The series “Land of the Free”
will begin a four-week run Mon-
day at 8:30 p.m. Designed to help
the viewer comprehend the doc-
trines and concepts at work in
America and the world today, the
series concentrates on the impact
of Communism since its inception
approximately 90 years ago.
“True Adventure,” this week’s
second newcomer, receives its first
airing Wednesday evening at 6:15.
Each week narrator Bill Burrud
will transport the viewer to dis-
tant lands to witness unusual
sporting activities, modes of liv-
ing, and the like. This week “True
Adventure” personnel visit Hawaii
to pick up some pointers on surf-
ing from experts at the art. An
interview with veteran surfing
photographer Bruce Brown affords
the novice some.good tips on this
exciting sport, which is rapidly
gaining new devotees these bright
summer days.
Future programs in this series
promise trips to remote corners
of Mexico and New Guinea to
study the customs of primitive
indians and unfriendly cannibals,
hunting and fishing expeditions in
the wilds of Idaho, and a journey
to Corregidor to unravel a mys-
tery of World War II.
A glimpse at this fall’s coming
attractions reveals the emergence
of an infinite variety of programs
catering to every taste. Among
them are several situation comed-
ies, two sports programs, an hour-
long family program and an hour-
long war drama. These are but a
few of the many changes in store
for Channel 8 viewers in the com-
ing weeks.
