Description: Here's a segment of the kids news featurette, In The News as aired on KELO-TV Channel 11 [Sioux Falls, South Dakota]. This particular one includes an introduction by Popeye the Sailor and deals with the subject of the 1980 Census.

Also includes a commercial break for Crayola crayons and markers.

These aired between commercial breaks during Saturday morning cartoons on CBS affiliates from 1971 to 1986 (and was for that network what the long-running animated Schoolhouse Rock featurettes were for ABC). For many years, it was the one of the only times a CBS News production had theme music. This particular segment aired at the end of Tarzan and the Super 7.

Voiceover by Christopher Glenn.

This aired on local Sioux Falls TV on Saturday, March 22nd 1980 at a little before 12:00pm.
