KPIX Editorial (Smog)

Please note: This 'kinescope' recording was originally made in 1959 by filming the picture from a live video monitor. The picture quality - especially sharpness - is much lower than the rest of our footage produced on 16mm film. A KPIX Television editorial from 1959 by General Manager Philip J. Lasky in support of a San Francisco city ordinance proposal to make open dump burning a misdemeanor. He also describes the negative effects of smog and explains the work of the Bay Area Pollution Control District.
