IV -YOU TELL TELEVISION U Correspondence for this department should be addressed to Regional Editor, TV GUIDE, 302 N. 13th St., Phila. 7, Pa. Winter TV Doldrums I am writing in defense of programs you recently called “Ha Ha Boo Hoo.” Let me tell you, I could cry far easier about the awful winter schedule. If it doesn’t change I’ll sell our set for pins. Whenever there really is a good program, such as Garry Moore, they schedule him at an hour no busy housewife can take time out to watch. In his place, Robert Q. Well, we’re hearing so many song and dance programs we can again join the “Y” and PTA and not miss a fa¬ vorite show. I certainly hope they let Linkletter, Warren Hull and Win El¬ liot alone. Hollywood has just about taken over, so TV faces the fate of the movies. If I have to boo hoo it will be for the dearth of good programs, not daytime serials! — Mrs. Iva Stull, Lewis- town, Pa. Moore Suspects U hat's My Line? After listening to the Sunday, Oct. 3 show of What’s My Line?, I have finally proved to myself that the show is a phony. The questions directed to the cowgirl were obviously rehearsed. No matter what the staff of the show may say, I and my friends are fully assured that many, if not all, of the occupations are known to the panel. — Barbara Altman, Philadelphia. Lanza Lover I just finished viewing the Shower of Stars show. I thought Mario Lanza was just wonderful. Would certainly enjoy seeing him on a show of his own. — Miss M.S., Morrisville, Pa. Strike It Rich Deaf? I would like to know why I never hear from the Strike It Rich people. I and other people have sent in 11 letters since 1951. I have had multiple sclerosis for nine years and I need a folding wheelchair which costs about $115.— Mrs. Irma Summers, Lansdale, Pa. Wesley Morgan Fan My idol on Life of Riley is Wesley Morgan. Can you tell me his age or anything about him?—M. Englander, New York, N. Y. [Wesley is 14 years old, and has been performing profes¬ sionally since he was six-and-a-half years old . — Ed.] WDEL-TV M.P. In ’55 Can you please inform me if WDEL- TV in Wilmington, Del. is scheduled to go to maximum power?— Patricia George, West Reading, Pa. [According to station officials the maximum power move may be made in early 1955 .— Ed.] Fervent Froman Fan I was pleased to see, in TV GUIDE, where some of Jane Froman’s fans have made a scrapbook of her life. I, too, am a great admirer of Jane and have made my own scrapbook of every¬ thing I can find of her life. Could you relay my pleasure to those young peo¬ ple and tell them I will be the first purchaser of their book when completed. Jane Froman is a grand person with a beautiful voice and a charming gracious manner. I wish she had more time on the air. —Jeannette Briggs, Philadelphia. Froman A-l 0
