A lot of Bonn-base- d Pie-sche- Deseret News Science Writer It has tended to link the nation together in a way no other device has ever done. This has been accomplished by the fact that month after month millions Watch the same shows, entertainment and educational programs and the same commercials. A TV viewer in New York becomes much the same as a viewer in Georgia or California or Utah. The only way to tell the difference is to step out of the darkened room where the screen is being watched. People not only see the same programs, but their tastes in entertainment, living patterns ard the like tend to develop along the same broad lines. Average families spend many hours a week before the TV screen. They are in the privacy of their own homes, yet they are sharing experiences right along with millions of others the biggest mass audience in the history of the world. The power wielded by the TV screen is immense and often subtle and unnoticed in many ways until years have passed. For example, it is being cited by some social experts that television has played a significant role in the aspiration and unrest of underprivileged minority groups. Negroes dwelling in slum areas tune YOUR HEALTH well-to-d- They watch the same commercials holding out the promise of dazzling new products. All of this, week after week, year after year, has built up a desire to share in ail these good things continually being dangled before their eyes. And so this helps the unrest grow, some sociologists say. Its just one example of the social change which technology can cause. Now, the engineers and scientists who developed television certainly didnt foresee some of its consequences. Probably they gave little or no thought as to what the results of TV might be. But its becoming more obvious that new inventions and discoveries can do not drastic and subtle things to society all which may be desirable. New discoveries are usually meant to OUR MUSICAL WHIRL By HAROLD LUNSTROM Deseret News Music Editor . M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: Can one send cold Mrs. C.P. germs in a letter? There fe no indication that this can happen because cold germs thrive in such as a warm, moist environments human nose or throat but perish quickly in a dry environment. Dear Dr. Molner: Please discuss umbilical hernia, cause, and how serious N.A. it could be. I am 59. ANSWER: Umbilical hernia is quite common in the newborn, and usually repairs itself with little or no attention in most cases. al- though still nothing to be unduly alarmed about. Like most hernias, it is the result of the weakening of muscles and fibrous tissues. These umbilical hernias can be annoying and become gradually larger, and there is the risk of a loop of intestine being forced through the weakened area, the same danger which exists with a hernia in the groin. Therefore, for safety as well as for comfort, if the hernia is producing symptoms, it should be repaired surgically. Surgical repair at the age of 59 is not a difficult procedure. However, society sometimes may be the victim rather than the beneficiary of technological change. New devices can values and undermine ways of life. They can change morals, attitudes and standards. This has always been true. But change is so rapid in our day that the sense of being aboard a runaway vehicle is much greater. And really no one is at the controls. Suggestions have been made that a group be set up on the federal level to study social cnanges caused by technology and, if possible, provide some warning and guidelines. This may help. One scientist has even gone so far as to predict that someday new inventions may be kept from the market until their consequences can be studied. It is unlikely this will ever come to pass. Its more probable that we will all continue to ride this runaway express not even dreaming what the future holds in store.

The ugliness of mass violence is a threat hanging heavy over all our heads. But the danger does not come from the place most people think it does. It does not come from the Negro rioters or from crime in the streets." It comes from respectable and responsible sources. It comes from smug, affluent, and ignorant quarters. It comes from those who are eagerly using crime in the streets as an excuse for hate and rage and repression. This is what frightens me. Not the pathetic and futile Negro summer riots, in which far more blacks than whites were killed and injured. Not the rise in street crime, which a genuine revival of community spirit could reduce in a few swift months. What frightens me are the faces of the men and women who push into Chicagos Board of Education to oppose busing of students, and of those who picket a public school to which seven Negro children have been transferred. What frightens me is the standing ovation given to George Wallaces demagogic speech made before an influential executives club in the same city.
