334 ' Miscellaneous Matters

the Fourth Triennial National Radio Conference will be-held. The
Synodical Radio Committee intends to get more publicity for those
programs of the Church of the Air of the C.B, S. on which men
of our Church serve as speakers. In general, the Synodical Radio
Committee intends to increase its usefulness, with the help of
the Lord.

Requests. —In keeping with Synod’s Mission Forward Move-
ment we should think of the use of radio in terms of the whole
North American continent and even the entire world. We should
strive to extend our radio work to many stations on the face of the
globe, more particularly in the United States and Canada,

a) By developing more local broadcasts;

b) By encouraging the Lutheran Laymen’s League to extend
the Lutheran Hour even more throughout the United States and
Canada;

c) By encouraging the Lutheran Laymen’s League to make the
Lutheran Hour international in scope, either regularly or occa-
sionally;

d) By making electrical transcriptions, consisting of complete
religious radio programs, in various languages for use by stations
in the United States and abroad. These’ transcriptions could be
used almost any time in various parts of the world, especially dur-
ing National Lutheran Radio Week and National Lutheran Pub-
licity Week in the United States and Canada. They could be placed
with various radio stations by our local pastors or directly by the
Synodical Radio Committee. Stations agreeing to accept these
transcriptions on a reasonably permanent schedule under contract
could be paid a nominal remuneration for such service.

We request a subsidy from Synod of $1,500 a year for the next
triennium for developing this nation-wide and world-wide pro-
gram, outlined in Paragraph d;

e) By making electrical transcriptions featuring our chorals
for general use by pastors in connection with their local broad-
casts. Some of these pastors lack good musical talent and have
requested assistance from our Committee. - National Lutheran
Music Week would offer a fine opportunity to use these transcrip-
tions.

We request a subsidy of $1,500 for the next triennium for this
important work,

In order that the Synodical Radio Committee may, in general,
more effectively conduct its work and extend its activity, we re-
quest Synod to appropriate $1,000 annually for the next triennium
to employ a secretary and to defray expenses in general. Hereto-
