Description
Series Description

A minimal amount of narration provides biographical information and connects the worker statements where necessary. Ambient sounds of the work place are used in most episodes. (stereo and mono) "II. A. 'Stay on the Farm'; (1/2 hr.; stereo) presents the past, present, and future of the Vt. Family farm as described by eleven Vermonters and as evoked by the sounds of farm life. Brief narrative bridges offer key developments in the history of Vermont's small farms. Music is also used to highlight the program's themes. "B. 'Voices in the Hills: Four Vt. Workers': interweaves the voices and stories of a retired sawyer, a veteran journalist, a machine tool worker, and an office worker speaking of their lives, jobs, satisfaction and disappointments.
