Bees WAXING hr Mary Bee REMEMBER how we used to look forward with keen anticipation to evenings with television? Especially certain hours featuring certain shows which we knew would be wonderful entertainment? What happened to all of 'em? The Fugitive, and Run for Your Life, for instance. And that father and son lawyer team. Plus a dozen just as good. There was at least one good program every evening. Now what do we have? (But do you know hundreds of ladies right here look forward to Peyton Place?) And did you see Ann Margret? Wasn't that a stinker? WHAT I'M TRYING to boil down to, perhaps, is that tele- vision is becoming so expensive that the sponsors cant afford to keep really good shows going. You have your favorites, no doubt, but aside from FBI and Gunsmoke and Laugh-I- n, theres nothing all week for me. a good book. Fm A teevee executive once told me: "Let's bee it. Television Is for the kids." Which it must be. Every home with kids, I hear, goes through the experience of serving up only certain brands of breakfast foods or the kids won't eat it. Pve reached the other extreme. Fm letting my whiskers grow, letting my teeth fall out, throwing away the carrying a wet sponge in each arm --pit. I may even start smoking a pipe. Life-Save- rs, RIDICULOUS and stupid as was, the recent it wholesale from "Maximum security" at the state prison isnt the first of its kind. The new county prison at Heber City had a good break-i- n. The first prisoner committed suicide. The second was a "lady" who tore up the place, ripping the mattress into a thousand pices. She just barely didn't tear out the plumbing. And it would be fun to have a picture of the expression of Sheriff Porter Carter when the Mexican lad he had just locked into the new cell at Morgan, walked into his office ten escape minutes later. This was an expert, trained all his life, who opened the new Jail door with a coat hanger. (Note to trans-gesso- rs: That lock has been modernized.)-Ma- c. Here it is, Christmas time again pnd we parents must choose gifts for our children. Choosing gifts doesnt entail just going out to buy what we think they would like best. We must put a lot of thought into the requests they make and try to determine how our will effect their "ids." I mean if we listen to the experts we realize their little gift-buyi- ng personalities may be per- manently effected by the toys County Council Holds Session Reed Moore The Summit County Council of Governments met November 25, 1968 at their regular meeting. Kenneth Woolstenhulme, County Commissioner was in charge. The Council considered the projects most needed by the communities and the County as a whole: T.V. reception, beautification, waste disposal, water systems, Industry, mobile library, zoning, area projects, tourism were among the prominent ones proposed. TV reception and beautification received top priority. The Council asked Mr. Vinto cent E. Clayton of KSL-T- V give them some idea of what had to be done to improve TV reception in the County. Mr. Clayton reported on projects that had been carried out in various parts of the state. He stated that there are many, many things to consider when checking for better TV pictures, etc. Surveys would have to be made in the County to determine the needs, then from this decisions and conclusions can be drawn. The Council asked that this be done. The beautification project received a boost from the group after Henefer and Park City gave reports and after the review of the scrapbook from Henefer. They have asked that Dr. Arvil Stark appear and discuss organizational procedures with the CounclL The matter was referred to the County Agent for contacts. This Council of Government is anxious to have all areas of the County to cooperate in projects that might be we buy. We mustnt ever buy some- thing so complicated as to make the child feel frustrated or insecure. On the other hand each toy should present a challenge and be chosen with an eye towards its educational value. We must be very careful not to show any favoritism. The total value and total number of packages for each child should be equal so they wont think we love me more than the others. We had better take a good look at our gift list also to weed out any toys chosen as status symbols or to make an impression on OUR friends. (He sure must love his kids, look how much he spent on theml) Also, while we are at it, forget about buying a gift just because you wanted it so badly when you were young. Very likely your bookish youngster wouldnt be too enthusiastic about a football-especla- lly when there is 12 inches of snow on the ground and footballs are se outlawed as toys. young niece if she really liked playing with trucks and cars since most other toys were obviously those usually requested by & hoy. "No," she sighed, "But daddy does.") So now we get to the children. What SHOULD we buy them? Well, Ive divided them into three catagorles: First is the child who makes up his mind early in October what he wants. I mean he KN OWS he wants that inside-the-hou- Space-man-roc- ket ship-whi-ch -r- eally-goes no matter what the cost. Its all he can talk about. No matter if you have to hock the family jewels, mortgage the house and use all the cash in the food budget for the next six months. He simply HAS to have it. If he doesnt get it he will lose his faith in Santa Claus, human nature and parents. Next is the child who changes his mind every time he sees a new toy advertised. This kid wants every new toy on the market and several of the old ones. Now dont think your child is insecure and immature because he Is unable to make a decision. He doesnt really want everything he sees, he is just a sucker for a good advertising campaignl Hell probably be pleased with most anything. The child who says "surprise mel" is really wanting something so outrageously expensive he doesnt have the nerve to ask for it. Just keep watching him and sooner or later youll find him making some obvious hints. (Boy, did you know Jimmy Browns dad bought him a snowmobile ? "Did you see that platinum watch advertised day before yesterday on the late-la- te show?" "You know, Ive always wanted a pair of diamond-studded snow tires for my bike?") Oh Boyl Ive perfected a wonderfully painless way to do my Christmas shopping. I Just close my eyes, turn around three times and grab an item. No cheating, stick to the first one you get. Then I start MY brainwashing campaign to convince them this was what they wanted all along.
