(UPI) Loses Weight Wondering Why West, More and More, Discovers He Watches Less and Less TV ml Washingtoh-fflPII-More and . more I found myself watch ing television less and less. And thiswor ried me. Oth er people were watch ing television as much as ever. Why was I differ e n d? Was there same thing wrong west with me? For weeks I went arounnd brood ; lng about this. Meanwhile, I : began losing weight. Became ' pale and listless. Tongue coated. The way I always get when I'm brooding1 about something, i Finally I asked Dr. Swiz ; zle about it. Dr. Swizzle said ' I should try to analyze what ; was estranging me from tele ' vision. He said that if I understood the problem it might make me feel better. I did and I feel better al ready. Not first rate yet, but better. The Trouble It seems that I got along fine as long as the networks were bringing television into the living room. The trouble started when they began bringing the living room into televison. . Looking back on it, I think the first symptoms occurred with a program called "Cha rade Party." We were playing charades about five nights a week then. On the sixth night we would turn on the set and there would be people flay ing charades on television. I have a mental block about what happened the seventh night. Perhaps that is just as well. After that came a program called "Open End." People sitting around yakking, yak king, ynkking. Spilling cof fee and getting cigarette ash es all over everything. Like Neighbors It is true they were impor tant people, but it wasn't much different from the nights we had the neighbors in. I think that must have been when I began getting television co n f u s e d with reality. Then the commercials changed. Or some of them did. They began using real live people instead of ac;ors. People just like the folks next door, which is saying a lot. Once or twice I thought I caught a glimpse of my wife standing by the washing ma chine and telling the an- Servicemen REASSIGNED Airman Loren H. Cochran, son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer W.

A graduate of Crater High school, Cochran completed his basic military training at Lackland Air Force base, Tex. nounccr how good the soap was. It was kind of eerie. I might have survived all of that, might have stayed glued to the tube, except that this summer I tuned in on a new program. Bless my soul if they weren't showing home movies on television. Home movies, the scourge of civilization. Home movies being piped right into my own living room. I don't trust television now except when there's a ball game on. Fortunately, some of my best friends are not ball players.
