Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 24, 1961, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news vol. 83, no. 250mt. Pleasant Iowa tuesday evening of i. 21, i Ogi these Days by George e. Sokolsky to ant kids what bothers both the acc the to networks is How to handle children who after All Are not \ exactly customers but who do exercise an influence on their parents children use to read Frank Merriwell when their parents thought they were fast asleep. This was before anyone discovered juvenile delinquency. Nowadays they watch television when they should be doing their Homework. On the whole television can be very harmful to children As harmful As an opiate because the television shows graphically How to commit murder How to gouge out an Eye How to break a persons neck How to Rob steal. The writers of these scripts. I am sure have no desire to corrupt the morals of youth but the medium in which they work requires dramatic action. On the live stage such a play As a arsenic old lace Quot do Ai with the most horrifying murder but it was mainly talk turned out to be a comedy. In television murder is murder the currently most popular shows such a. A gun smoke Quot Deal with murder the hero is not the murderer but the sheriff the latter doe.-, a much killing a any murder Rei or. Fact the reason that he is. O Good ii that he is a faster killer.

Even the youngest child docs not want to be limited to a children hour a teen Ager would rather be seen dead than to be called a child would stay away from to Durna period called a children a hour furthermore Between five six is usually the time when children like to be a the open air after a Long Day at school children want to see what adults want to see. One of the major difficulties in the tvs business is that the networks Are held responsible by the Public for what if they told the truth about themselves titty Are not at All responsible the local to As in radio show what they choose determine what is desirable according to local demands this does not a. Oho the networks from the sin of offering rubbish it explains that there is an intermediary partner in the transaction to a he actually has a final voice Aslo what us actually to be shown but or has some partner of the Side they Are called Sims r. Sometimes they Are managers of stores or factories usually Thev Are advertising a enc in s or Public relations counsel they pretend a a it know what the Public wan. If one of them attempted to dictate policy to ii news Piper Edi or in would inn to Likely be thrown out of a window although Many in Many advertising departments Hope to assist them. Television a. Not attained such Independence not yet having a Peter Zenger therefore the advert sing agencies. Etc., exercise an undue influence Over the local stations which cannot afford to get in dutch with those who provide the Revenue. The solution to this problem us not a children a hour which children will abhor but rather pay television the parents could control what they want shown by throwing a Coin into a Slot. That does not mean that the kicks would not Bootleg what they really wanted to see it would mean that the Revenue for Rotten show would be loss than can now be obtained from the advertisers it might safeguard some children from lessons in murder.
