TV 'Blob Blare'
Federal Communications Commission
Chairman Opposes Loud Commercials
i- h
Bv DICK WEST
Washington - IUPII - Chair
man Newton N. 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

never sounded that way any
how. 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

elude biology, creative writ
ing, project biology, project

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.
