Summary:
Home movie of a birthday party for Julius Weil (same party as "Vicki gives Opa Cake"). He is given birthday cards, a man plays guitar, and people clap along. The film then shows black and white photos of Julius and Helen, newspaper clippings, and footage of a banquet where Julius is honored. Shows Kenny pointing at a street sign for Julius Weil Drive. Julius Weil turned 75 in 1977 - likely that this film was a compilation of earlier footage meant for that milestone.

William C. “Bill” Smith of Oregon Educational Broadcasting, who hosts and narrates this group of programs, takes youngsters on a day’s jaunt to an Oregon “egg factory,” a dairy farm and a dairy manufacturing plant to show them that, though milk, butter and eggs still come from the same old reliable sources, the ways which they are processed have changed considerably. On a farm where 100,000 laying hens produce enough eggs in one day to feed cities the size of Schenectady; New York; St. Joseph, MO; and Kalamazoo, Michigan, we see how eggs are gathered, cleaned and graded, and sent to market. On the dairy farms we see modern milking methods and milk being transported to a manufacturing plant. Processes involved in bottling milk and making cheese are seen, and the ice cream bar section is visited.

This recording is a reflection and analysis of Sally Lied's time in the VISTA program. Recorded after she decided to discontinue her participation, she thoroughly dissects her experience and ruminates on the most salient moments of the three week trip. She discusses surface level topics such as the assignment of her group, living conditions, the family they stayed with, the role of cars and TV, the monitoring of phone calls and mail, some of the group activities and sessions, and how the education process would have been structured had she continued with the program. However, as the recording continues a much deeper reflection occurs on her experience mostly relating to racial tension and intersectional poverty, ways of organizing and uniting impoverished people as well as the difficulties of this work, adapting to southern culture during her time in Newnan, why poor people will likely remain poor, her own personal problems with the VISTA program, where the VISTA program works and where it doesn't, as well as the inability of the program to address both the problems of racism and poverty. Primarily, this recording discusses racial and class divides and the systems in place that keep racial groups at odds with each other. It provides insight as to contemporary social, economic, and political problems in the south. It seems as though Lied has prepared notes that she is presenting to a group of people who may be considering the VISTA program themselves. Side 2 appears to be a continuation of the lecture in side 1.
Originally "untitled," these recordings appear to be lectures that Sally Lied gave to a class about poverty (perhaps Upward Bound). She mentions returning to certain topics later in the course, so this may be a recording of the first day of class. The two sides of the recordings are presentations of the same lecture in two separate instances but the content of the lectures is identical, with variation in classroom participation and some examples used. She covers topics that include poverty in the 1930s versus in the 1960s, what groups are poor and why, common identities that intersect with poverty, how to force change, what tools people have to organize and unify to gain power, racism, and the effects of poverty.
