I was about 12 years old before I was exposed exposed to television. So even today I think of myself as being less hardened to television violence than the average average six-year-old. Heck, I still shudder at some of the scenes from the Road Runner cartoons. But by the end of most of the popular TV shows, the screen is littered littered with more bodies than you will find in the concluding scene of a Shakespearian tragedy or the final act of an Italian Italian opera. I think there's a kind of inflationary characteristic characteristic to television violence. If program A shows a killing, then program B will show two of them. Or if last year's most popular program had one senseless senseless and destructive car chase every 15 minutes, this year's success will have to have two of them. I'm looking for the day when a program such as Man Alive or The Nature of Things will need at least one car chase or shoot-out just to keep up the ratings. ratings. I should add that I'm not talking about the occasional sequence which might contain some action essential to the story line. I'm talking about the kind of violence in which people are mowed down like bowlingpins. It's also the kind of sanitized violence in which the heroes never miss a shot and somehow somehow avoid being killed themselves. And the villians, by contrast, are mowed down like a lawn. I suspect that violence, violence, or "action" as some of the TV types like to call it, is not absolutely absolutely necessary to good programming. For example, British dramas will sometimes go for hours with no more action than a shrugged shoulder or a raised eyebrow. And yet, the psychological conflict or the quality of dialogue can carry the story. And think of all the early TV situation comedies comedies which played for weeks without a car chase, a bomb explosion explosion or a raid by helicopter gunships. I Love Lucy, The Hon- eymooners, and a number number of other early TV classics all survived without bombs and bullets. bullets. And, as I recall, even the series like Perry Mason or Gunsmoke seemed to manage without the kind of wholesale slaughter we see today. The jury is still out on the question of whether or not screen violence is reflected in violence within the society at large. But I can't help wondering wondering if those who seek disarmament in the world should also attempt to disarm the TV tube. Butter Still Better!

Mrs. Fairey opposed the move last September September when, under the terms of the provincial provincial government's new Bill 82 which calls for school boards to provide provide education to all students regardless of handicap, several children children from the Applewood facility in the Veltri Complex were incorporated into Lord Elgin.
