TELEVISION and RADIO
By John Crosby
n
GOLF OK YtLTJIO JT
The same man that gave the
wotld championship bowling on
O television, is now giving us "All
Star Golf on ABC-TV (4 p.m.
EST Saturdays) and with just
about the same success. This
genius is Peter de Met. who is
unique among sports producers
iftthat he produces sports events
rather than just points a camera
at regularly scheduled sporting
events.
All-Star Golf is simply an
eighteen hole match between two
Cof the top pros in the country,
including Sam Snead, Gene Sara
zen, Tommy Bolt, Cary Middle
coff, Jack Burke Jr., Lloyd
Mangrum and Dick Meyer. The
matches are aftot by six movie
cameras and edited down to an
hour program. They are real
matches and, while a good deal
has to be cut out, nothing is put
in that doesn't occur. When you
see a ball arch down and stop on
a green, it didn't get thrown
there. Sidney Goltz, producer
director, puts his six cameras
where he figures a golf pro will
hit the ball but they don't al
ways. "Even a top pro occassion
al hits one likeoa duffer and
then I'm in trouble along with
the golfer. If we miss the action,
It's lost forever."
Recently, I watched a rather
lopsided match between Dutch
Harrison and Jack Burke who
was red hot that day. Burke won
by five strokes. Even though
Burke led for the whole hour,(
the match had great excitement. '
"That was one of the finest shots
I ever saw," whispered Jim
Britt, the sports announcer after
Burke had made a great chip, to
the green. Burke was lining up
a putt at the time and Britt's
voice got more and more con
spiratorial. "Burke has about a
thirty foot butt for a birdie. If
he gets it, he'll have a par thirty
six." o
He it. But they don't al
ways. "HarrionTi chance to
ttakeC on ffcrott 1A here. The
stick l biS itonfltS to by the
caddy, (jfcvt'f tft putfc aah, a
hearfirrgtlef ' a$ it mised by
inchs.
(Naturally, ill holes ctn't be
shown. The ones left out are dia
grammed, showing just what
each player did on every stroke.
The putting is the easiest for
the cameras to follow but Goltz
wisely gets in a good deal of all
the other kinds of golfing shots.
He has found that poking cam
eras in their faces doesn't seem
to upset golfers. "It's the unex
pected noise that throws them
off. When they expect the cam
era noise it doesn't seem to both
er them," says Goltz. The cam
eras may even stimulate the
golfers. In the first match of the
series Ed Oliver broke the course
record at the Phoenix, Arizona,
Country Club with a 62.
The six cameras take about
75,000 feet of film from which
2,000 make up the final pro
gram. Winner of the match gets
$2,000, the loser $1,000. Also,
there are bonuses of $10,000 for
a hole-in-one and $500 for every
eagle. The prize money is put up
by DeMet, who between bowling
and golf is handing out annual
checks totalling $120,000.
Television has always leaned
heavily toward the great specta
tor sports like boxing or base
ball. When DeMet first broached
the idea of televising a partici
pant sport like bowling, a pas
time indulged in by hundreds of
thousands of just plain people,
the experts thought he had rocks
in his head. "Anybody can bowl
so why watch it?"
But this is precisely the attrac
tion. While millions know how
to bowl, not very many can roll
up scores of 250 and the duffers
like to look at the hotshots and
get a few angles on how it's
done. "Championship Bowling"
is now in its fourth year and has
a better audience than any other
syndicated sports show on tele
vision. Golf may do even better,
though it doesn't draw very well
on Saturday against football.
Still, it's done well enough for
DeMet to start thinking about
televising other participant
sports. We may yet live to see
the day when a good spirited
ping pong match will be on a na
tional network.

Crosby Regarded
As Authority on
Radio, Television
New York John Crosby,
whose four times weekly com
mentarv on radio and television
is now appear-
lug in uic iviciii
dyfm Tribune is re
garded as the
o u t s t anding
authority i n
this field in
A m e r ica to
day. "No one,"
says Esquire
magazine, "has
John Crosby anywhere near
the popularity, nor anywhere
near the influence of John Cros
by." Fred Allen called him the
"first literate critic to sit in
judgment of radio" and Time
magazine says his columns "sock
weak pitches right out of the
lot . .,."
Crosby was born in Milwau
kee. Wis., in 1912. He grew up
in Oconomawoc and was educat
ed at Phillips Exeter and Yale.
He left school in 1933 to join the
staff of the Milwaukee Sentinel.
With the depression came a
year's enforced vacation which
ended when Crosby joined the
New York Herald Tribune as a
reporter in 1936. He covered
police courts, politics and the
amusement industry until 1941.
Tried as Columnist
After five years in the Army,
Crosby returned to the Herald
Tribune in February, 1946., When
the need for a radio column was
felt, Managing Editor George A.
Cornish recalled Crosby as "a
good reporter" in the amusement
field and decided to give him a
try.
Originally called "Radio In
Review," the column soon was
retitled "Radio and Television"
as Crosby's horizon broadened
to include critical evaluation of
both media. His column examines
and dissects radio and television
fare, using a liberal sprinkling
of quotes from shows reviewed.
His wit and occasional caustic
barb, leveled at the industry s
shortcomings, make his column
thoroughly enjoyable reading.
BOY SCOUTS
Troop 8
Steven Swartsley was. award
ed the star scout rank at a court
of honor conducted during the
regular weekly meeting of Boy
Scout Troop 8 Wednesday. He
also was issued his warrant as
senior patrol leader, and merit

shop in the home and fishing.
Other troop leadership war
rants went to Corky Barrell, as
sistant senior patrol leader; Gary
Griffin, scribe: and Tim O'Mara,
Bill Dames and Richard Knights,
patrol leaders. Griffin, Barrel!
and Swartsley also earned
badges denoting one year of per
fect attendance.
Service stars for one year of
reeistration went to Griffin. Bar
rell, Swartsley and O'Mara, and
two year stars were presented to
Walter Conner, Knights, Dennis
Salyers, and Dames.
Additional merit badges were
awarded as follows: Griffin, ath
letic and scholarship; Knights,
home repairs and scholarship;

A CHILD LEARNS TO SPEAK
Few people realize that learn-!
ing to speak is one of the great
est miracles that happens in this
world. No one
except man
has achieved
m e a n i n g ful
speech, and our
children can
learn the art
only gradually,
and only after
their little
brain has been
erowine and
developing for a year or so. The
child's hearing mechanism must
first develop to a point where he
can hear the full range of sound.
Unless he can hear the sounds he
and other persons make, he will
have a difficult time learning to
speak. In the first few years of
the child's life, thousands of lit
tle mechanisms in his brain must
develop and be co-crdinated so
that he can move his tongue, his
soft palate, his vocal cords, his
lips and his breathing apparatus
all together.
One of the most distressing
things that can happen to a per
son as after a stroke is to find
himself unable to say a word.
The man may know what he
wants to say, but he just can't
get anything out. A friend of
mine, a physician, left this way
after a stroke, which came when
he was fairly young, started in
with his devoted wife to learn to
speak all over again. Each day
he tried to learn a new word.
Eventually, he trained parts of
his brain that were not injured
by the stroke to take over the
job of enabling him to talk. I
mention this difficult process of
re-learning speech to give some
idea of what a child has to go
through as he learns to talk.
For all parents of children
who are having some difficulty
in learning to talk, a book by
Mrs. Flora R. Schreiber "Your
Child's Speech," can be a God
send. It was written interestingly
in simple language by an expert
in speech who has a great under
standing of children and a great
love for them.
Answers for Normal Children
Even mothers of normal chil
dren will find answers to many
questions which keep coming
up in their minds as their child
grows up. So often a mother
keeps wondering, "Why doesn't
my child learn to speak quickly
like the child next door," or
"Why does he still use baby
talk?" or "Why does he lisp or
fail to pronounce properly cer
tain letters?" or "Why does he
stutter?" Some parents worry
because a child keeps babbling
and using his own jargon longer
than they think he should. Mrs.
Schreiber says that parents
should encourage their baby to
coo and to babble. They should
not worry about his using jargon
because, out of this, will prob
ably come normal speech.
Mrs. Schreiber says the most
important thing parents can do
is to talk much to their children
and to keep answering their
questions as soon as they start
asking about things. Only if the
parent talks to the child can Le
quickly get a good vocabulary.
Then he will be fortunate for the
rest of his days; he will know
the right words to use to express
his thoughts.
Mrs. Schreiber feels that hours
spent in talking to a child,
answering his questions and
clearing away his fears, may
save him later, from years on an
analyst's couch. The child should
be included in family conversa
tion, especially at the table, if
only so that he feels that he be
longs. A mother should often
sing to her child, and she should
often read aloud to him. To see
how important this is, all one
has to do is to study the inade
quate speech of some children
who were brought up in an old
fashioned orphan asylum where
no one had time to talk to them.
Mrs. Schreiber advises against
starting an infant on two lan
guages at the same time because
this is likely to confuse him and
retard him. Let him learn his
main speech first, and then after
18 months or so he can begin to
learn another language.
Stuttering comes often when
a child is made to feel tense. Dr.
Wendell Johnson feels that if a
parent will not fuss about a
child's er-ing and uh-ing he will
not be likely to go ahead into
stuttering. A child can get to
stuttering when he is made to
feel that he must not hesitate in
his speech, but must keep talk
ing rapidly. Let the parents re
member that they often hesitate
in their own speech.
Paget's Disease of the Bones
Paget's disease of the bones
is fortunately rare. It appears
to be either a chronic inflamma
tion or a condition in which more
than the normal amount of blood
goes into the bone. This causes
the bone to get large, and causes
the affected limb to feel warm
to the touch. I have never heard
of any physician who was sure
he knew what the cause was,
and I have never heard of any
thing that sounded to me like a
logical cure for the disease. For
tunately, it rarely causes serious
trouble. I don't know of any diet
that affects it.

Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers
will understand that it would be
impossible for him to answer re
quests for information or to at
tempt to diagnose by mail.

By DELOS SMITH
New York (IP) Power tools
in the hands of enthusiastic ama
teurs are "homicidal" tools, ac
cording to an authoritative med
ical summing-up of the wave of
do-it-yourself casualties now
sweeping the country.
Fatalities have been relatively
few, fortunately, but lacerations,
multiplef ractures, and burns
have been common contrary to
medical expectations, however, i
relatively few fingers of do-it-yourselfers
have been amputated
by hand power saws
The tone of the summing-up in
the technical publication "Pfizer
Spectrum" was tolerant and re
signed. "Perhaps there will al
ways be a totally idiotic sector
of the population to climb a me
tallic ladder near electric wires,"
it remarked.
"Do-it-yourself has merely
widened the opportunities for
these people to wipe themselves
out, or at any rate present them
selves tattered and bleeding all
over the doctor's office floor."
The summing-up had no fault
to find with the "do-it-yourself
spirit." Indeed, it found the
spirit admirable. "The catastro
phe of do-it-yourself is in not
knowing," it said.
"Professional workmen may
be less than gifted," the publica
tion said. "Often their sole ad
vantage is a body of information
which is, as a matter of fact,
rather limited and not even up-
to-date. Presumably the patient
who amassed funds enough to
buy a glittering new homicidal
tool has the wit to learn tech
niques that are simple enough
but, at first, merely unknown to
him."
But the average do-it-yourselfer
doesn't undertake even to
read up on those techniques be
fore he "unwraps his new gadget
and looks eagerly about for a
place to use it." Now, take the
hand power saw, the summing-
up continued. Usually it has a
wire by which it may be ground
ed, but often there is no ground
to which it can be attached.
So the do-it-yourselfer stand
ing on damp ground runs it on,
ignorant that perhaps a short
circuit will direct 110 volts of
alternating current into the
handle and so into his hand. He
can neither guide the tool nor ( result is a picturesque, deep
turn it off since electric current j laceration of the thigh, usually,
is paralyzing his muscles. "The not far from the femoral artery."
