Of Hearts
For Spring

Have a heart, ladies. The
stores are full of them, says
the Fashion Coordination in
stitute, which keeps tabs on
style trends. The hearts range
from miniatures on delicate
gold chains to large, "life
sized" types used as pendants,
pins, and charms. Semi -precious
stones decorate some.
In milliner Don Marshall's
office, they'll be calling it a

Marshall has opened a new
shop in Paris in the house of
couturier Serge Matta. The
milliner, who designed Grace
Kelly's controversial "honey
moon hat," specializes in veil
hats which cover the hair
lightly without mussing it. His
other offices are in New York
and Beverly Hills, Calif.

Almost all of the ideas about television and its effect
on children are false or exaggerated, according to a recent
exhaustive and scientific survey of the subject made by
the Nuffield Foundation in England, and reported in the
Manchester Guardian. 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.
But maybe if we limited our

to the "kind of life" we had, we might be cheating them.
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. .
