Minow of the Federal Communications Com- I mission let it be known this ! week that he : stands lour- ; sauare against t blab blare. I am wait- someone to twEH ask me what . "blab blare" west is. If nobody is curious enough to inquire, I will tell you anyway. "Blab blare" occurs when the volume of a television commercial exceeds to an irri tating degree the volume of the audio portion of the pre ceding and subsequent pro grams. Minow himself did not use the term. His term for televi sion is "vast wasteland." "Blab blare" is a term I pick ed up from Lester Decibel, a local sound engineer. N a v r iheless, Minow made it clear that blab blare is what he had in mind when he wrote a re ply to Sen. Clifford P. Case (R-N.J.). who had complain. ed about the loudness of some commercials. "I would like very much to have a rule of the FCC which limits the volume of commer cials to the volume of adja cent program material," Min ow told Case. If such a rule ever goes into effect, a number of com mercials of recent vintage will have to be extensively re vised in order to comply. Take, for instance, that lit tle brat who runs in scream ing "Look, mom! No cavities!" They'll never teach him to keep his voice down, so he will have io be replaced. I recommend as a substitute a mannerly youngster with a carefully modulated voice who will say: "Here's a bit of pleasant news for you, moth er dear. The dentist who in spected my teeth found them free of cavities.". The rule likewise will compel the makers of pain killers to find another way of creating headache noises. No more bells clanging, si rent blowing end hammers pounding inside the skull. Frankly, my headaches SOBBING SIMS SAYS: "SAVE NOW ON THESE HOBBY GIFTS" UONEl SCIENCE KITS: Weather Station-reg. 9.95 . 6.66 Plastics Lab-reg. 19.95 12.88 Plastics Lab-reg. 7.95 5.88 Electronics Lab-reg. 9.95 6.66 Electronics Lab-reg. 19.95 14.88 GILBERT Physics set-reg. 16.98 13.77 Crystal Radio Kit-reg. 5.95 2.88 HEAT ENGINE KITS Gasoline, Diesel, Steam or Jet-reg. 3.95 2.88 HEATH KIT Jr. Electronics Kit Discountedl H-0 Railroad Sets 4 Kits from .... 6.88 H-0 locomotives as low as 2.88 AMT 3 in 1 1962 Car Kits-reg. 1.49 99c MANY, MANY MOREI I I I I hati arsrm. rr .-.--(, AMT Model Turnpike THE FINEST IN ROAD RACING SETS THEY STEER - 360 SPIN-OUTS-REVERSE - COMPLETE CONTROL NOW AT SAVING PRICES TONITE ONLY!!!

My headaches make more of a whirring noise, something like a helicopter. My wife says her headaches have a scurrying sound, like cub bears running across a thatched roof. I conclude therefore that most headache tablet commer cials are unauthentic as well as too loud. It seems to me, however, that a certain amount of com mercial amplification is desir able. Without a change in the noise level, we might not be able to tell when one program is ending and another is about to begin. Local Committee Reviews Proposed New Assignments The Jackson county schools' able and giUcd com mittee this week reviewed proposed class assignments for the Saturday enrichment classes scheduled to start Jan. 19. The classes will run for eight consecutive weeks at Southern Oregon college, Ashland. Local educators plan to ex pand the classes to 14 com pared to the seven offered last year. Buses will trans port the 220 selected students to the classes. Schools parti cipating include Medford, Central Point, Eagle Point, Butte Falls, Phoenix and Rogue River. The three-hour classes in ;lj elude biology, creative writ ing, project biology, project chemistry, project mathemat ics, world literature, and business organization. Selected on IQ Basis Students are selected on the basis of intelligence quo tients of 120 or higher, two years advanced reading level, a score of 95 percentile in the Iowa lest on education devel opment, and a high level of performance in school. During the meeting earlier this week the Central Point school district submitted a a proposal for a field project at Crater High school consist ing of a 15-week Saturday class on electronics and radio for gifted children. The com mittee approved an allocation of S275 for the project. The committee also noted that teacher interest was high in a recent workshop it spon ored featuring a prominent California educator, Thei! was considerable discussion on continuing this type of in service training and conduct ing two other pilot projects at Ashland High school. The three-hour course in humani ties would be conducted Mon day evenings.
