Gripe of the Week I am 65 and a mother who has raised a large family. My heart goes out to our youngster who have to view their family’s selection of shows on TV today. Those torrid love scenes and sloppy kisses are positively disgusting. There is scarcely a scene in the evening where there isn’t drinking. Half-clad dancers throw their legs around and get into sexy positions. It’s shameful. And why must we have so many murder and insanity pic¬ tures? Children are quick to copy. Why not give them something worth while? TV needs scouring and fumigating.—Mrs. S. Porter, Hackensack, N. J.

When they asked for his autograph, he said he’d give it during the seventh I inning stretch. The boys kept ■ looking forward to that mo- Uncle Miltie ment. Imagine our surprise and disgust when just before the end of the sixth inning, Berle and his party got up and left the stadium. That’s your “Uncle Miltie!” How can children have fai& in human beings when pei^le mask as their friends and turn out to be of jhat sort?-Ben Tobier, Lake- wo^, N. J. iWe think you’re too harsh on Milton. Being one of the world’s busiest men, he should be forgiven a memory lapse or two. Besides, he sincerely loves the kt^.—E d.] (Continued on page 27) 4
