However, the Guardian says that the conclusions reached were just about what any sensible person would have decided if he had studied the matter. The Foundation survey showed that the charge of television watching making children sleepy, listless and inattentive in school wasn't true. !The survey did determine that children in England go to bed later than was thought, and later than they probably should). The Guardian wasn't surprised that the survey concluded that "the more in telligent the child, the less use it has for television and the less intelligent, the more satisfaction it gets from tele vision." Only the child with definite problems, such as unhappiness or backwardness, was found to be "addicted." "This finding which runs throughout the report, and is confirmed by every possible test, is not perhaps so much a gloomy discovery about the quality of television as a confirmation of the fact that active and independent minds have other occupations and better sources of furnishing themselves," says the Guardian. Over 4,000 children took part in the survey, in five different towns. The British have "westerns" too, for the survey showed that nearly all children preferred them they also preferred crime thrillers and adult plays. Com paratively few were interested in children's programs, and still fewer in "informational" programs, it was found. In this last respect, one might add that this would prove true in America, and would apply to adults as well as children. Parents, as well as children, supplied information for the British survey. The Guardian reports that "intelligent parents, like intelligent children, depend very little on television for entertainment." The authors of the report had some suggestions. They said the television programming was unrealistic, because even the youngest of children were found to be watching the adult programs. The Foundation wanted the BBC and ITA to take more responsibility for the kind of programs shown, but the Guardian pointed out that it would hardly be possible for the stations to put on nothing but children's programs in the evenings. The Foundation also suggested that programs unsuitable for children be so marked in the advance announcements, and urged the two networks to cooperate in programming so that a child could not leave a good program on one chan nel, and turn to a violent and unsuitable one on the other. It said that many programs unsuitable for children promote "fear of life and of growing up." Heavy readers of comic books become heavy television viewers, the report found; clever children, with many in terests, were never heavy comic book readers or television addicts, the report said. It was also reported that although television watching tended to reduce reading at first, it does not lessen reading at all in the end. A woman speaking in Medford last week urged her audience to be watchful because citizens of this nation are in danger of losing some of their rights and privileges; she said we must work to preserve these freedoms if we are to hand on to our children and grandchildren the same kind of life we have had. Turning this over in our mind later, Potpourri decided she should have been more ex plicit. If she referred to such rights as freedom of speech, and religion and the secret ballot, due process of law and the right to earn a -living and agree.

What if Oregon parents in 1859 had had the power -to guarantee their children just the kind of life ,they were having, would it have been wise to do so? There are, we are sure, many Negro citizens of 4 the United States who fervently hope that their children will not be faced with the same living conditions, the same poor educational opportunities, the same restrictions and segre gation problems and the same lack of Christian under standing as the" present generation has undergone. We're not at all sure that it would be doing our children a favor to hand on to them exactly the same kind of life we have had. Besides, they may want to carve for them selves a new kind of life richer, fuller, more exciting and better than the one father and grandfather had. At the Clark-West wedding February 14, Centennial beards flourished. Two of the ushers had black, curly beau ties. The bridegroom and the best man sacrificed theirs a few days befoje the wedding, but it could just as well have been an all-Oregon Centennial affair. The bridegroom's father, Fred West, came to Oregon as a small boy, but the bride and both her parents, and the bridegroom and his mother were all born here The Wests and Mrs. Fred West's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Pursel, are" long-time residents of the Applegate Valley, while the Lewis Clarks have lived near Medford. The bride did something new for her "something old." She wore a thin solid gold band, which had been her great grandmother's wedding ring, attached to her blue garter. The ring is about 100 years old.-O.S. . ART, NEW For JUST THE UNIFORMS YOU'VE BEEN WANTING!
