Discount Theory That Television Is Stifling Reading-Conversation Some citizens have been giving thought to the effect of television on reading. One is Anthony Price of New York, who writes to me: "My observation is that we are becoming a nation of fanny sitters — victims of that dread disease, spectatoritis." Price believes that not only reading of books but also conversation is becoming a lost art, as the population spends its spare time sitting, watching and listening. Publishers, while admitting the book business is in the doldrums, are inclined to discount the effects of television, however. The greater over-all problem is that of standardization and appeal to the mass audience in all forms of communication, says Ted Waller, executive director of the committee on reading development of the American book publishers' council. He says: "Because of the rising costs of publishing, it's becoming more and more worked out by Haverlin, president of Bri Music, Inc., an organization licenses by radio and television dressing the recent meeting American Library Association Chicago, Haverlin came up plan for a series of radio programs based on reviews of books foragers by outstanding bookers. The program, now in the process of preparation, has the entire backing of individual ractions around the country. In the first batch of 13 primes some of the books to be read are such widely varied subsets: The Wind in the Willows, tiki" and Van Loon's "S Mankind." Each program will consist of review of the book with many allied theme and perhaps interviews with teen age readers. For her daughter's wedding Mrs. Robertson chose a navy blue afternoon dress with matching accessories and a corsage of pink roses. Mrs. Heiden wore navy blue with off-white accessories and a rose corsage. When the couple left on a Dallas honeymoon the bride was wearing a smartly tailored navy blue suit with matching accessories in velvet. The new Mrs. Heiden is a graduate of Anaheim high school and Fullerton Junior college where she affiliated with Kappa Lambda Sigma sorority, Alpha Gamma Signa honor society and was elected alumnae princess. Her husband was graduated from Anaheim high school and attended Fullerton Junior college before entering the service. While there he was president of Associated Men Students and president of California Junior College Associated Men Students. He is now stationed at Sheppard Field where he is attending Engines and Aeronautical schools. They will reside temporarily at 1717 Huff st. in Wichita Falls.

LOS ANGELES STREET Home-Makers' Forum By JOAN S. WHITE Gazette Home Economist Within an hour and a half after stepping out of your front door you could be in Catalina if you wanted to. I know because I have just tried it. "Different" is the word for Santa Catalina Island, island of romance, whose 76 square miles combines natural scenic beauty with the romantic charm of foreign lands. Who has not heard of the famous glass bottomed boats which reveal the mysteries of undersea gardens, and of the flying fish and the unsurpassed deep sea fishing? These headliners lure hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and they are but a small part of the many attractions that make Catalina a favorite vacation spot. AIRPLANE OR STEAMER As you know, the island is separated from the mainland by a narrow strip of the Pacific, and if you are in a hurry to get there, you can hop aboard a United Airlines plane at the Long Beach airport and arrive on the island 20 minutes later. For a more leisurely trip, you take the steamer which leaves every day from the port of Los Angeles at San Pedro to make the crossing in two hours. Each has its own picturesque enjoyment to offer, and in order to take advantage of both it is possible to take the steamer over and fly back, or vice versa. WHAT TO SEE AND DO How well the Catalina Island Company has succeeded is revealed by the many things to see and do on the island. If you go just for the day, you have the opportunity to bathe in Avalon Bay in clear smooth waters and to lounge on the sandy beach. Special busses will take you to the bird park where in a semi-tropical setting, hundreds of rare and colorful birds from all over the world are on display—including the famous talking myna birds.

Orange ave., is at Lake Mead on a week's fishing trip. He is the guest of Corporal Robert L. Tyron, who is on 30 days leave having recently returned from Korea. The Corporal's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Tyron of Culver City have a cabin and boat at the lake. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Robertson and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Heiden, both of this city, returned yesterday from Wichita Falls, Texas, after attending the wedding Saturday of Marion Robertson and Bill Heiden. Previous to that, the Robertsons' had spent almost a month visiting friends and relatives in Kentucky. At Television Conversation Has been worked out by Carl Haverlin, president of Broadcast Music, Inc., an organization which licenses the use of musical selections by radio and television. Addressing the recent meeting of the American Library Association in Chicago, Haverlin came up with a plan for a series of radio programs based on reviews of books for teenagers by outstanding book critics. The program, now in the process of preparation, has the enthusiastic backing of individual radio stations around the country. In the first batch of 13 programs, some of the books to be reviewed are such widely varied subjects as "The Wind in the Willows," "Koniki" and Van Loon's "Story of Mankind."

Each program will consist of the review of the book with music of an allied theme and perhaps some interviews with teenagers who have read the book under discussion. Local libraries, book stores and broadcasting stations will cooperate in the project. Probably the solution to the whole problem that is bothering thoughtful people is to utilize the mediums of TV and radio themselves to keep reading habits and good books alive. One thing is sure — you can't shrug off the effect of television on the nation's daily life from now on. It is bound to have a profound effect on every facet of living, from politics to home-furnishing. The television room is a must for new home builders. The successful political candidate of the future is the one who can get across to his mass audience on TV. Entertainment is moving back into the home, and box office receipts of both movies and sports events are falling off. But let's keep a good book handy for times when the video program is dull.

H. Kersten Returns from Red Cross National Convention in East Mrs. E. H. Kersten returned to Anaheim Sunday evening after spending over a month on the east coast. Leaving June 15, Mrs. Kersten arrived in Franklin, N.Y., to visit friends. During the period from June 24 to 27 she attended the National Red Cross convention in New York City. This year's theme was "What Is the Place of the Red Cross in Civil Defense." Top speakers during the convention were Hon. Millard Caldwell, administrator of Federal Civil Defense; Brigadier General Meloy, Jr.; Chief of Civilian Relations division, Office of Chief of Information, U.S. Army; Dr. Eduard C. Lindeman, President of American Sociological society; and Colonel Ginsberg, who took the place of Mrs. Anna Rosenburg. These speakers were only a few of the many outstanding personalities who gave their time and knowledge to the Red Cross convention. E. Ronald Harriman, president of the National Red Cross, presided over the convention. Mr. Harriman has served as president of the Red Cross since 1950, without pay. During the entire four day meeting and business sessions, the only entertainment was a reception of the Board of Governors. The next convention will be held in 1952 in Cleveland. Select Fair Fashion Entries SACRAMENTO (UP)—Garments rich in style and texture—the prize winners in California's $500,000,000 a year apparel industry — have been selected for the California state fair's fashion and fabric exhibition, the judges announced today. Almost 1000 entries from 282 California manufacturers were submitted in the fourth annual competition. Garments were selected without labels so the panel of 32 fashion experts would not be influenced by a famous name. The exhibit will be held during the fair at Sacramento, Aug. 30 through Sept. 9. The entries in the competition—the only judging of its kind in the country—included such varied apparel as a pair of boy's jeans, a full length black mist mink coat, a pair of women's golf gloves, and a convert-to-dinner-dress wedding gown. Price tags ranged from $2.50 to $12,000. The judges awarded 185 blue ribbons and 21 gold medals to the California clothing markets, an industry which has pushed its way to fourth in the state.

Stanton ave., accompanied her father John Brown of I could really forget expenses if everything cost as little as Gas "Both my husband and I work. That's why, on a weekend, I like to sun bathe and put all our worries out of my mind. But with costs the way they are, it's hard to keep from figuring—even with our two incomes—how to come out ahead at the end of the month. I could really relax and forget expenses if everything cost as little as gas. And the work gas saves me! Cooks my meals while I'm away." "Both my husband and I work.

I could really relax and forget expenses if everything cost as little as gas. And the work gas saves me! Cooks my meals while I'm away—supplies hot water galore—furnishes trouble-free refrigeration—and, in winter, effortless heat. To me gas is worth much more than the small amount we pay for it." The difference between what you pay for gas now and ten years ago can be counted in pennies. Increases in almost everything else you buy must be counted in dollars...as we all know. And just as your costs are at an all-time high, so are your Gas Company's. But through efficient operation, advanced engineering and production, and continuing economies, gas rates have been amazingly low. The result is that today...as always...your household bargain is gas. So use this modern money-saving fuel to live better and be truly comfortable.
