This will cause endless difficulties, because tif you have ever had movies in the home. you will knowj it is very hard to arrange chairs so that all can see. llut when we do see, what a disappointment it will be at first to see all our favorites and learn that so-and-so has a funny walk, that another is much too tall, that the old man in the skits is not old at all. that the setting isn't on the beach at Bali Ilali, and that there isn't any moon. If the television companies can afford it. they may be able to make scenery that will do, but they won't be able to do anything about the appearance of a star. and we all know and dislike the movie hero who depends for his fame on beauty only and not a bit on good acting. .Xu argument for the other side is that we shall be able to have Robert Taylor or Greta fiarbo come right into our own homes on our sets and lint lt will be so nuich like the movies that it will ruin the will not have to go to the movies to see them. there is another bad point of television. movie business simply because it will take all the fun out of them, and whereas before we had the the nights that we were unable to go ont, now we shall movies for some nights and the radio for have only one. For those of us who like to go to bed and rest our eyes, at the same time listening to the radio, the television will present another problem. It will be impossible to rest our eyes and very diffi- cult to adjust the set so that we can see easily from the bed. Our whole habits of spending the evenings will have to be changed. When the television is turned on we shall have to gather round and stop talking. stop reading, and make sure that we aren't in sonieone's way. If we decide to read, how shall we long for the radio to give us soft music to go along with our story, but when we turn on the television, every few minutes we shall have to get up and run the machine to see what this actor looks like. lf we want to continue the out-of-date custom of reading. we shall have to leave the room and find some place where there is not one of those hor- rible televisions! Pl XV., ,37- RELEASE I walked alone with silence and the night Communicating secrets to the stars. My loneliness had bound me like a wall Until I saw a comet burn in flight. J. K., KIDS FOREVER lt is proper. I think, to call an infant a baby, a small girl or boy a child, a woman or man an adult, etc., but I do not think it fair that a sixteen-year- old boy or girl should be treated as or even called a kid. Since I reached the age of thirteen, I have secretly hoped that a new amendment would be added to our Constitution which would read: .Xny boy or girl living in the United States of .Xmeriea, who is over thirteen years of age. has the grave privilege of being treated as an adult. I know this sounds too good to be true, but that is certainly what is needed in .Xmerica today. Of course, at thirteen no person is supposed to be still a baby, but in accordance with the way we are sometimes treated, if a bottle and nipple were given to us with the singing of a lullaby before bedtime at night, we'd certainly be a perfect baby. And I always thought at thirteen we were grown up. l find now that it takes a terribly long time to grow up. Wihen I was fourteen I thought it would be right for me to sit at the table with adults. It was until someone came to tell me that a place had been reserved for me at the children's table and I was expected to go to that table, I was so burned up that I decided right then and there that. when l was married, the adults would sit at the childrens table and the children would sit at the place of the adults! This idea calmed me a little but I was still mad to think that at four- teen I had been treated as a kid, I had reached the ripe old age of fifteen when I wanted to wear high heels. Mother nearly fainted when I asked her to get me a pair of shoes with such heels. She said I would break my neck when I walked with them. I disagreed with her and one night, when she was not at home, I tried on a pair of high-heeled shoes and proceeded to walk down- stairs with them on. XVhat happened? A fall down
