W. 10th, Pendleton, Oregon As w ith all things new, a nam e m ust be chosen; and so w ith apologies to the doctors, I call it tcevccc trem ens. I select this designation because this new dis ease has so much in common w ith the m ore fam iliar one—-delirium trem ens. A ccording to the m edical die tionarv, delirium trem ens is a psychic disorder involving h allu cinations, both visual and au d i tory, found in habitual users of alcoholic beverages. T eevee tre mens may be sim ilarly defined as a psychic disorder involving h allu cinations, visual and auditory, found am ong TV gluttons. The two diseases differ, how ever in sym ptom s d i s p la y e d. W heras th e DT •sufferers see snakes and m onsters, h ear noises, and are usually talking or yelling incoherently, the TV victim , ra th er than being noisy, is so uncom m unicative that th ere is great danger of his eventually losing the ability to speak In fact, he is so highly sensitive to talking in any form that he is quite capable of m aking hissing or shu^hin sounds if a trance is dis turbed. E xtrem ely inactive, he spends most of his tim e in a squatting po it ion. staring straig h t ahead. Some of the most advanced cases even go so far as to confine th em selves in specially constructed suffering cham bers w hich they hum orously refer to as activity rooms, action is this case consist ing of changing channels in a According to the traffic count m ade by the Oregon S tate H igh w ay departm ent, traffie division 140.064 people visited the H arris Beach state park during 1956. This was 9.000 more th an d u r ing 1955, and 224.000 m ore th an 1954 when the count was 116,604 The 140.064 figure show s that only 14 state parks w ere v isited m ore often th an H arp s Beach. Az.: lea P ark , th e second state p ark w ithin the city lim its of Brookings had a total of 61,392 visitors during 19566, w hich was m ore than 11.000 more than the 50.055 total in 1955. However, the peak vear for Azalea S tate Park was a high 79,545 total in 1954.

T reatm ent, as can read ily be seen, faces innum erable obstacles since tin person afflicted is often difficult to recognize as such. In fact, using sounds em itted as a basis it is extrem ely difficult to differen tiate betw een the teevee trem ens victim and a snake; using actions as a clue, th ere is a striking resem blance betw een the TV’ victim and a still w arm corpse.
