- World hunger, its challenge to affluent Western nations and Canada in particular, is the subject of a series of 15-minute radio programs under preparation for the Anglican Church of Canada, the Roman Catholic Church and the United Church of Canada.
- "The Stork and the Plow" is the general title of 13 programs being produced for Interchurch Radio, the broadcasting arm of the three churches, by the Anglican Division of Communications. With the world facing the gravest famine in history as population growth continues to outstrip food production, the series will attempt to inform and arouse Canadians to be concerned enough to press for government action.
- Canadians will also be urged to support church and relief agencies in their global projects for the alleviation of suffering.
- Leaders in many fields related to the problem are being interviewed. Initially the program will provide an in-depth study of the scope and seriousness of food inadequacy.
- Other subjects include the population explosion, family planning, technology and food production, the importance of protein in diet, waste and surplus, poverty, Canada's foreign aid program, voluntary aid projects, individual responsibility and Canada's future role.
- The series is being produced for mid-winter release.
