eV-Tht Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, N. C., Thulsday, October 26, 1972 Mrs. Ambrose Host BPW Club COMMENTARY, By John Smiley COULD IT BE that TV will replace the annual state fair peep show? America and television's attitudes to ward sex, nudity and lan guage are changing so fast that one knows not whether to hide behind the barn to watch his favorite program or view it while sitting in the parlor with the PTA president.

Some shows that appear to be in trouble are: "Anna and the King." "The Waltons," "Julie Andrews Hour," "The Men," and "The Streets of San Fran cisco." HALLOWEEN lasts all year now if one is particular in the placement of his TV dial.
