Show 8C The Salt Lake Tribune September Wednesday, 12, 1884 Duo Nabbed in ZCMI Burglary Spree Television Today The Tube Is Strangling Americas Creativity By Harold Schindler Tribune Television Editor That was good advice President He: 'n offered Americans in his radio address the other day about watching television less and reading more. Trouble is, he ought to have mentioned it a lot sooner. Folks who read full of young men and women bursting with things to say. Some used oils and charcoal; others pen, pencil and paper. Woody Guthrie used a guitar, and fellows like Ansel Adams expressed their thoughts through a camera lens. And that represented only a fragment of exrreion Television is a miraculous invention and Philo Farnsworth will forever be remembered for having developed it. But until the civilized world or realizes that the whats left of it tube has become an attractive nuisance which transforms eager, active, questioning minds into yeastless lumpy dough, the search for personal experience so necessary for growth and maturity will cease and intelligence and understanding will perish with it. Why do you suppose so much of the programming that seeps onto television schedules like a bad odor Batman and Dick Tracy and Sheena for subject matter? Inspiration? Not on your life. Desperation is more like it. That also explains why major sporting events are popular television fare the results are unpredictable and out of the hands of scriptwriters. (Thus far, at least.) If you need more persuasion, here is the latest A.C. Nielsen Jr. ratings d survey of the prime time television programming in the United States last week: I well and read) widely seem to be more imaginative! and informed thanj those who dont. Consequently theyre able to recognize tripe in- stantly and avoid it at all costs on television or anywhere else, including the printed word. Unfortunately at a time when the tube has become overloaded with shallow, unchallenging nonsense offering nothing and requiring only slack-jawe- d subservience, the time for turning to books and questioning conversation may be past. Much of the problem in discovering writers with new fresh ideas stems from the dismal fact that such birds are an endangered species. Beyond the difficulties of finding screenwriters, novelists and poets who can put a single original thought on paper for another to read and comprehend, is a failing in spelling ability and grasp of language. Reading has become a lost art because it requires skill before it becomes pleasure. (The most elementary reading on the face of the earth is aside from outhouse grafitti found in U.S. Army basic training manuals. And in the past 25 years even they have been reduced to virtual comic books. Imagine an infantryman trying to find directions on a military map if he cant read N or S or W or E.)
