the nation's finest basketball playing and other quality programs.
Therefore, the "big eye" isn't the villain it's sometimes made out to
be, according to research reported by Dr. Paul A. Witty, noted North
western University educator. But parents need to guide their children
toward viewing the worthwhile programs. (John Corey photo.)
School And Your Child
By JOHN COREY
Whpt's the straight word on the
harmful effects of TV watching by
children?
Much has been said about the
"big eye" weakening Junior's sight,
handicapping his learning to read,
reducing his outdoor play, lower
ing his school grades, hardening
hi* sense of compassion, and con
suming too much time (21 hours
a week for elementary school pu
pil*, 14 for high schoolers).
In 11 years of research involv
ing 20,000 American youngsters.
Dr. Paul A. Witty, professor of
education at Northwestern Univer
sity, has released findings which
indicate that television isn't a vil
lain after all ? provided parents
and their offspring exercise a lit
tle selectivity in viewing programs.
Dr. Witty and his associates con
cluded:
? "Television has not brought
about ? marked reduction in out
door play, hobbies, sports, and cre
ative activities."
Children haven't substituted it
for the ball, fishing pole, or doll.
Actually, one study discloses over
30 per cent of school-age young
sters cultivate new hobbies because
of TV. The televising of national
tennis matches at Forest Hill, for
instance, spurred interest in the
net game. , .
? "He^vy viewers don't get sub
stantially lower grades than thoee
who seldom watch TV."
? "Relatively few pupil* read
less; many pupils believe they read
more."
? "Primary pupils appear to
show gains In vocabulary as a re
sult of TV viewing."
? "Eye* are not harmed," ac
cording to the National Society for
the Prevention of Bllndne**, "it
proper seating, clear focusing of
the set, and proper room lighting
are observed,"
?"But ? there is some evidence
that overexposure to Westerns and
crime programs may have an ad
verse effect on some children."
It "may lower children's sensi
tivity to human suffering and lead
them to accept or condone brutal
ity," says Dr. Witty.
The Northwestern University ed
ucator believes parents should
guide their boys and girls toward
viewing programs of value. Par
ents set models for other things.
Why not TV?
Further, mothers and dads can
wield terrific influence on TV pro
gramming, A letter or call to a
station or sponsor condemning,
say, "77 Sunset Strip" for its vio
lence, or praising Leonard Bern
stein's New York Philarmonie
program or "Twentieth Century,"
has real effect on TV executives.
Public opinion opposing the
junk dished out last year has re
sulted in better programs, overall,
this season.
Still, as TV's Grand Old Man,
Still, as AVs Grand Old Han,
Ed Sullivan, admits, too much gory
fare stiU spatters the television
screen.
Bat Sullivan agrees with Pro
fessor Sam Becker of the State
University of Iowa that kiddies
Can't be insulated from all the
world's evil, even should TV drop
all violence.
The answer, according to Sulli
van, Becker, and othors, lies with
parental censorship at home, help
ing youngsters develpp their own
judgment
Summarizes Professor Becker:
"I cannot help but feel that the
parents are primarily responsible

When TO Salt And How Much
Salting foods is not a matter of a
pinch, a dash, a shake or a heavy
hand. Salt to measure adds to fla
vor of foods.
For yeast breads, baking ex
parts recommend 1 teaspoon of
salt for a 1-pound loaf of bread.
Always add the salt to the liquid
ingredients and stir to dissolve.
Never add salt just to the yeast
solution ? it would immediately
begin its retarding action.
For quick breads, the rule* are
1 teaspoon salt for 2 cups flour.
Sift the salt with the dry ingredi
ents.
In cakes made with butter or
shortening, generally the sslt is
sifted with the flour and the
leavening.
For plain pastry, use 1 teaspoon
salt to 2 cups flour for best flsvor
?not a "salty" taste but good pie
crust flavor.
In meats, according to latest
and most authoritative sources
there is no me.?urement rule in?
dicating how much to use with
oven roasts or pot roasts or other
solid pieces of meat. The reason
"why not" is because, generally
the amount of salt is related to
