It brings to 33 the number of magazine pages devoted to this up-to-date version. Bv contrast, the three-installment 1950 edition filled a mere seven pages — only one-fifth or so the size. The burgeoning vocabulary of television's technicians is proof of the medium's rapid growth. It's also a steadily rising hurdle to the uninitiated. What would you say. for example, if a TV director aimed this suggestion at you: "I think we should segue those two musical numbers to increase our spread — otherwise we'll run over." You'd probably agree if you knew the English translation, which goes, approximately: "I think we should go straight from one musical number to the next without any break; this will take less time and give us some extra seconds leeway. As a result the show will finish within the allotted program time and not be cut off before it's finished." sponsor has, it hopes, safely rescued its readers from any such pitfalls as the fictitious one above. For longterm insurance, send for a complete copy of Herb True's "TV Dictionary /Handbook for Sponsors." In addition to word definitions, there are valuable listings of such things as TV sign language used by directors, cameramen. The box at left lists TV executives who aided dictionary author Herbert True, who is himself a radio-TV writerproducer with Gardner Advertising Company, St. Louis. • The complete "TV Dictionary /] I andbook for Sponsors" in book form will be available to subscribers on request.
