After a heavy snowfall and severe drifting near Champrousse, France, he was able to walk right up to the insulators and make his repairs.

Oscar E. - Television is rob bing them of any real family life. Charlotte F. - It keeps the kids quiet and off the streets, at least. Oicar E. - I'm 18 and a freshman in the local univer sity. Since my oldest sister has a big house here in town, I live with her and her family Instead of in a dormitory. For bright people like Char lotte and Dave, I'm amazed to see how they've let television dominate their home. There's a set on each of the three floors and sometimes all three are going at once, with the younger Kids watching car toons, the older ones some slapstick nonsense, and Char lotte a gooey movie. Back home we have a set, too, but it's only turned on for the news or something superfine. Everyone reads a lot. Dad keeps up with his cello and often has his friends over for a workout with chamber music. What's happening to Char lotte and her family? You can only talk to them during com mercials. And when you do, it's like talking to sleep-walk- Charlotte F. - Oscar means well, so I don't resent his criti cism. But for me, with four youngsters and no' help, TV is a godsend. It's a babysitter, pacifier, and tranquilizer all for the price of a little electric current. I'm sorry if the noise and our preoccupation bother him. If he can find some other way to keep the kids absorbed and out of my hair and away from each other's necks, I'll take my hat off to him. But after a few days of being playmate, pal, referee, and nursemaid -especially a few rainy days -he'll be ready to throw his arms around the set and kiss it! Our mother didn't have any problem. She had plenty of hired help plus relatives around to keep an eye on her children. And we 'lived in a farm-town where county fairs and neighborhood projects kept us all busy. We were never at loose ends. The Council: Oscar raises a timely question for his sister: Who's the boss - you or the mesmerizing box? TV is cer tainly habit-forming and Os car is pointing out what Char lotte and Dave probably sus pect - that the habits being formed are stultifying. It's easy to understand Charlotte, weary from the morning rush and craving a cup of coffee while it's hot and a soft-boiled egg while it's warm. She settles her young in front of the set and sighs, "At last, a half-hour for myself." It's better than paregoric, certainly. But then comes lunch on a bridge-table in front of TV. and eventual ly too many TV dinners for all.

J ioit amaiingof all results were i Evidently, things are get ting out of hand in the F. home and it takes a devoted "outsider" to rouse them all from a sort of coma. What happens to homework? What happens to hobbies, sports, skills? Who is free to create, imagine, meditate, c o n c e n trate, and just plain think a thing through? Disgustedly, John Crosby, a TV critic, says the shows are "designed to kill time . . . dedicated to utter vacuity . . . anaesthetic." Applying a few tips from two University of Michigan professors, Oscar may be just the one to help these parents turn TV viewing into an en richment, a bridge rather than a wall between members of the family. Here are the ideas: 1.) Plan the week's viewing schedule in advance, say on Sundays, with the whole fami ly participating in the de cisions. 2.) Programs can be a springboard for dinner - table talk. With more than one set in use, children can report on competing programs. 3.) Join ing the children as they watch offers the adults a chance to guide and educate, by ex plaining and comforting. A family can thus turn TV into a valuable "shared experi ence." 4.) Insisting that the set be turned off, in the interest of other activities. Oscar and the adults have the job of "selling" the kids on the im portance of being active, pro ducing, developing. Before we become, as Sam Levenson warns, "a nation of starers", families like Char lotte's must control, not be controlled by, the Big Box.

BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York - WP1) - It may come as a surprise to many people in the light of the re cent antitrust action in Phil adelphia, but the business world docs have a code of ethics. Twenty-nine of the biggest electrical manufacturers Henry Becntold and 44 of their executives were fined a total of $1.9 million last week in federal court for fixing prices and rigging bids in sales of heavy electrical equipment. Commenting on this situa tion at his mid-week press conference, President Ken nedy said it would be "very beneficial" if business groups would set up a code of ethics such as unions have. He add ed that he was watching and hoping the unions will live up to their codes. But this code of ethics of business already exists as official policy statement of the National Association of Manu facturers. All of the NAM'S member firms, which account for 75 per cent of total U.S. production and employ 71 per cent of the industrial work force, have been informed of this code. Code Voluntary Although the NAM recom mends that this code of ethics be followed, it is a voluntary organization and has no way of enforcing these standards. But a NAM spokesman told United Press International that this code will be given much more consideration at upcoming NAM meetings be cause of these new develop ments in Philadelphia. There are policy statements in the NAM'S Code of Ethics that apparently were not ad hered to by the electrical manufacturers: -Every customer, creditor, supplier and employe should be treated fairly and equitably and with the same considera tion we would wish to receive from them. -Effective, free and open competition is the basic regu lating and directing force in our economy. It serves the public interest and provides products to consumers at the lowest possible prices. -Monopoly in the fields of production and distribution, whether it be a monopoly of capital, of labor, or of govern ment, is detrimental to the public interest. Cartels in any form are a serious deterrent to increases in productivity and living standards. And this is not the only code the business world has been presented with. The As sociation of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. last June adopt ed a "declaration of responsi C mr? 7- tm it TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. bilities to improve public con fidence in advertising." This declaration is part of a stepped-up grass roots pro gram designed to -strengthen the processes of self-regulation, thereby reducing the necessity for further govern ment restriction on advertis ing, lessen the threat of gov ernment moving into areas previously considered outside its jurisdiction, and building COURT HELD ma a public set vice bv I tie COLLEGE of LAW MIMMETTE UNIVERSITY High Court Backs Child's Suit Against Mother's Estate Eva and her six-year-old daughter Veronica were visit ing relatives in a distant slate, and, in order to make it more convenient for them to go from relative to relative dur ing their stay, Eva borrowed a car. Since she was tin-1 familiar with the operation of the strange vehicle, Eva occa-j sionally allowed the car to ! swerve while she shifted; gears. ' I Onec while she was shifting gears, Eva allowed the car to veer Into the path of an ap proaching gravel truck. De spite frantic efforts of the truck driver to avert a colli sion, the truck and the car smashed together. Eva was killed instantly and Veronica was injured. The child brought an action against her mother's estate, with her father as next friehd, seeking damages for the in juries she claimed were suf fered because of her mother's negligent operation of the automobile. The lower court decided that such legal action could not be maintained, basing its decision on the rule that one member of the family cannot sue another member of the family because of negli gence. To permit such suits would damage the family relationship. THE COURT HELD: The Supreme Court of Missouri de cided that the child, with her father as next friend, could maintain the action against her mother's estate. The court reasoned that the doctrine of "intra-family immunity" ex pires upon the death of the individual who is believed to have been at fault. It was felt by the court that to extend im munity from suit to the per sonal representative of the de ceased parents would be carrying the doctrine to an extreme not intended when it was pronounced.

Slight changes in the facts may change the outcome of a case. life K a public confidence in advertising. The declaration spells out in simple, understandable terms the responsibilities which the Better Business Bureaus believe they them selves should accept and which, also, outlines the re spective responsibilities of ad vertisers, agencies and media. Association president Victor H. Nyborg recently said re sponse to this program in many parts of the country clearly indicates that business, in general, is more concerned than ever over the criticisms it has received, and over the increasingly aggressive activi ty of government in the daily affairs of business. He addad that "there is a sharpened awareness that something of a practical na ture must be done, and done promplty, in order to alleviate what can become a dangerous situation for advertising, and in fact, for business to have freedom to keep its own house in order."
