Goodbye, sweet would not miss a particular gang ster program. The TV set jn the childrens' home was being repair ed. Television is a wonderful invention. It has unlimited possibilities in the educational and entertainment field; but there is room for considerable improvement so far as the type of programs commonly released is concerned. Children who regularly spend their, evenings watching television are lpsing much of their initiative to do thngs for themselves. The value of creative play has long been recognized as an important educational tool. Boys and girls learn rapidly by using their hands in creating things. Such vital activities as art, music, and handicraft, must invariably suffer if children spend the major part of their leisui time just being i r- X i At ' .

' We plead only for intelligent judgment in the use of a revolutionary facility that may affect our boys and girls vitally for good or ill. Television is here to stay, and rightly so.
