MARSHALL FIELD'S CHICAGO NEWSPAPER ASKS $64 TV QUESTION (Reprinted from Chicago Sun-Times Talkies column by Kay Allen)
The Question: Which "normal activities" have you sacrlfic ed because of TV?
The Place: Ohio and Michigan.
The Answers:
Mrs. Ruth Cohen, Garfield Park, housewife: "We haven't gone to movies much since we got our TV set. We used to enjoy go¬ ing out to shows a great deal before. Also I used to play cards.
Now we find that there are so many good programs to enjoy at home in our easy chairs. I wouldn't say we've 'sacrificed' anything; we've just changed our habits of entertainment."
Jack Hoefler, North Side, salesman: "In my case, pleasure interferes with business. I used to do a lot of calling on accounts before TV. Now I do very little business in the evenings. I don't see as many movies as I did. The shows on TV are a good substitute. I guess I save cash there."
Nancy Wright, North Side, singer: "I have a TV set at home and I enjoy it a great deal. As a matter of fact, I have appeared on TV. I think one would be foolish to 'sacrifice normal activities' for TV amusement, however. There's room for a lot of improvement in the programs on all stations."
T. N. Ford, North Side, salesman: "Why it's mostly read¬ ing and going to movies that I have given up. I used to read a great deal more magazines, books and newspapers. I saw many more shows. Now I find I learn a lot and am entertained too by staying right in the house watching TV."
Mary Saigh, Austin, student: "Having TV has affected mostly just my movie-going. I used to go to shows two or three times a week. I've gone to the theater twice in the last two months You can see some good movies as well as other programs on TV.
