We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
The solution? The parents apparent¬ ly have a choice. They can (1) sur¬ render unconditionally or (2) restrain —by force, if absolutely necessary— their young from looking at anything but suitable programs for juveniles. Parents who have the fortitude to pursue the second course are hereby advised that most of the top children’s shows are returning to TV, and there are a couple of interesting newcom¬ ers to boot. There is, for instance, Edward R. Murrow’s new juvenile show. Young¬ sters, which debuts sometime in Oc¬ tober on a CBS Saturday or Sunday daytime spot. Like Murrow’s higher- age-bracket Person to Person, Young¬ sters will consist of interviews, but with small fry interviewees. Then there’s a program called Tre¬ foil Time, which had a trial run in some areas last summer and now goes on ABC every Sunday after¬ noon. This show concerns the activi¬ ties of the Girl Scouts (its title is taken from the name of the Scouts’ cloverleaf emblem) and has been filmed in the U. S., Japan and Switzerland. There is also the Wednesday night Disneyland, not strictly a children’s show, which will feature from time to time Disney’s kid-tickling cartoons. If, however, a little violence on the air is required to keep peace in the home, you may find comfort in the fact that most of the old thrillers are still on the dial. Excluding the horse operas, which are dealt with on page 24, these include such ageless favor¬ ites as Superman, Ramar of the Jungle, Captain Midnight and Terry and the Pirates. There’s a new one, too— Mandrake the Magician, based on the comic strip and filmed in Ber¬ muda. Of the holdovers, only Captain Mid¬ night has a new format. Formerly a violent series with gallons of gore, the show has been mopped up quite a bit. As played by Richard Todd, Midnight is now a crime detective. As in the past, there will be plenty of interstellar action for the space- helmet set. Captain Video, for instance, will return for his sixth annual swing through the solar system. Space Patrol is back and so are Space Cadets, Space Rangers and (on film) Flash Gordon. For younger listeners there remain Dr. Frances Horwich’s Ding Dong School, which offers intelligently- planned fun for preschoolers; The Pinky Lee Show, Howdy Doody, Winky Dink and You and Beanie. Kukla, Fran and Ollie has shifted to some ABC stations, and Andy Devine will succeed the late Smilin’ Ed Mc¬ Connell. TV’s two big circus shows, Big Top and Super Circus, will remain, as will Marlin Perkins’ Chicago-based Zoo Parade. Other programs remaining in¬ clude Johnny Jupiter, Contest Carni¬ val, Mr. Wizard, and the filmed Tales of Hans Christian Andersen. And if this isn’t enough to get the kids off to bed, how’s about a heart- to-heart talk and a glass of warm milk? And, of course, there are sterner methods. 21
