Local youth film KGW-TV’S weekly kid ’s show
KGW-TV premieres “W ere On." a
new. locally produced, weekly kids' show
on Saturday. April 22nd. at 7:00 p.m. on
Channel 8.
The half-hour show, produced by
KGW TV staff producer Irene Berkowitz,
features eight Portland kids ages eight
through four.een. It will be regularly-
broadcast Saturday nights at 7:00 p.m.
“W ere On" is a television magazine
show for youngsters and features filmed
and taped interviews with a variety of
persons, on a variety of kid related
topics.
‘The show is a TV forum for k id s' says
Berkowitz. Television should be acces
sid e to kids and that's why we do alot of
on the street interviews asking kids what
they want to see on TV.’
The “We re On" cast, selected from an
audition of more than 150 kids in the
metro area, work an average of ten hours
a week. They suggest their own stories,
write their own scripts, and do most of
their own audio production.
“Most of the kids have had some
theatricrJ experience, school plays, darn­
ing. or singing, but none have had any TV
experience. They're strictly amateurs"
says Berkowitz.
To date. "Were On' has shot more
than twenty stories including: disco les
son at Earthquake Ethels: exclusive
interviews with the Portland Trail Blaz
ers including Bill Walton. Dave Tward
zik. and Larry Steele; interview with the
Portland Timbers; a day on an Oregon
farm: and the how-to's of cutting a
record.

A t Home with Cal
by Cal R. Williams
The sales receipt and warranty tag on a
piece of new furniture can be valuable to
the purchaser if problems develop with
the furniture.
Most warranties request that the con
sumer first contact the retailer, who will
determine what repairs or replacements
can be made. Several manufacturers
warranties state that if you do not
receive satisfaction from the retailer, the
manufacturer should be contacted.
Most companies offer a one-year war
ranty on frame, legs, and structural
parts. A few companies have a two year
and some have a five year warranty. At
least one manufacturer offers a 25-year
warranty on a steel frame.
Only a few companies offer warranties
on fabrics: others exclude fabric or cover
from any w arranty. The warranties all
slate that repair or replacement will be at
CAL WILLIAMS
the option of the manufacturer Some
indicate that a substitute material may be
used.
Most manufacturers require that ship
ping costs be prepaid when returning the
furniture to the factory. Some companies
will reimburse consumers for the prepaid
charge if the furniture was defective and
will return it without a shipping charge.
A wise consumer should discuss these
details with the retailer before purchas­
ing a new piece of furniture.
Consumers can do little about the
length of time it takes for repairs at the
factory. A recent review of complaints
received in the office of the National
Association of Furniture Manufacturers
shows that repairs are taking as long as
six months. This includes waiting time
for a piece of furniture to be picked up by
a truck and waiting time again for the
truck to return to an area.

Multnomah County Board of Commis­

Meeting. April 25th at 1:00 p.m. at
Hollywood East, 4400 N.E. Broadway.
The main topic of the meeting will be the
County's role in the services for Senior
Citizens. Dr. Hugh Tilson of the Multno­

ing the message of the County's impact in
'.his area.
All interested members of the Commu­

Gardeas require
space
Don't let a limited amount of gardening
space keep you from growing and enjoy
ing some of your own vegetables. The
gardener who wisely uses a small garden
ing plot may actually grow more and
better crops than the person who plants
too much on a larger plot.
Planning the best use of a small plot is
very important. Certain crops yield a lot
of eating for the space used while others
can take up a lot of space and not give
much in return. Your best choices for
vegetables in small plots are carrots,
potatoes, onions, beets, broccoli, cabbage,
turnips, chard, snap beans, cauliflower
and tomatoes. Some are listed because
they can be crowded together, others
because they yield edible parts over a
long period of time. Radishes, lettuce and
peas rank low in value produced for the
space used, but they do add variety and
can be used in rotation with other crops.
W ide row plantings are becoming more
popular, especially in small plots. With
this sort of planting system, instead of
making several single rows a foot apart,
you might m»ke a bed » foot wide and
seed the entire area. When the seedlings
come up. thin the planting to the spacing
suggested on the seed packet.
This
method gives more useable space but a
little more w ater and fertilizer will be
needed to maintain the planting.
Don't overlook trellises also as means
of gaining more space for vegetable
plants. Vining crops such as cucumbers,
tomatoe«. squash and beans can be
trained upwards to prevent crowding.
This is going to be a good gardening
year, make plans now.
