'Darkhorse' Proves Popular on TV By Charles Nenow First Lutheran Church While some sponsor and producers have been insisting that it takes "sex and violence" to make a successful television series, a dark horse in the tele vision field (which features neither sex nor violence) has quietly sneaked up from behind to take the endurance lead. On Sunday, Oct. 1. "This Is the Life," sponsored by the Lu theran Church - Missouri Synod, will launch its Tenth Anniver sary Year. On the air every week without interruption since the fall of 1951, the Lutheran pro gram now has enough programs on film to round out its tenth consecutive year of telecasting. This, it is believed, is the longest unbrokgen run for any 30-minute filmed dramatic pro garm. Approximately 305 stations carry this popular series not only throughout the United States and Canada but also to our arm ed forces overseas, as well as in Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and'Aus1 tralia. Professionally produced in Hollywood, but paid for out of the mission treasuries of The Lutheran Church - Missiouri Synod, "This Is the Life" is a dramatic portrayal of Christian faith and life in action. It has been estimated that 10,000,000 viewers tune in the progarm every week. Locally, the program can be seen on Channel 6 every Sunday at 11 a.m. Sponsoring the pro gram in this community is First Lutheran Church.
