Grandma Sez A lot o' folks 're joinin' th' crusade against harmful T.V. in programs, designed fer th' younguns. This granny's been a protestin' fer a long time, an' it's right encouragin' t' know that, finally, it's dawnin' on parents, an' those int'rested in educational material fer th' young, that th' TUBE has been responsible fer a lot o' things we don't like. * N There's a strong indication, in many very young childern, these days, that their deport­ ment follers th' trend o' th' harmful influence, learned during' th' long hours o' viewin', by th' group, age 3 and upward. But, this time, me int'rests lie in th' harmful effects on th'- adult group, who b'come in­ t'rested in th' programs, produced fer daytime viewin', commonly known as th' "Soap- Operas." Now, this ol' lady found out, many years ago, that they played up th' unhappy sitiations, which may befall a body, an' it seems t' me, that there's enough grief an' sad­ ness in this ol' world, wi'out exploiting' more o' it, be it truth 'r fiction, fer folks t' be bur­ dened wi'. In discussin' th' subject wi' a number o' folks, young marrieds, an' us older folk, who • • • have a lot o' time on our hands, an' try t' fill lonely hours wi' some entertainment, on th' TV, th' story's th' same. They all complain, that th' writers can't let a story go on, emphasizin' th' happy things, wi'out some dire catastrophe t' spoil it all. It ain't natural fer life t' go on, wi'out somethin' happenin', but fer a whole family, t' have tragedy o' some kind, all th' time, jist ain't natural like. Now, this senior citizen knows that folks b'ccftne depressed, an' a whole day may be spoiled wi' th' unhappy event, seen an' heard, when a body craves t' have a moment o' distraction from th' daily chores, leaves a body spent, an' clouds th' mind wi' things that change a happy day inter one o' sad feelin's, an' lowered spirits, all b'cause a body sought a little entertainment on th' tube It ain't fair t' th' viewers, an' we're talkin' about ignorin' th' products o' sponsors o' programs that harm th' morale o' th' viewers. It ain't easy t' erase unhappy scenes, from th' mind, an' some o' th' goin's on, put idees inter th' minds o' young folk, jist startin' out in life. It's detrimental t' a healthy outlook, an' it's high time somethin' was done t' correct it.

While the hospital occupancy shows a decrease-from 75.5 per cent to 70.9 per cent-the x-ray, laboratory and physical» therapy procedures for out­ patients show a noticeable increase, Hanson said. "This reflects hospital and medical staff efforts to minimize hospitalization as one way to reduce the cost of quality health care," Hanson explained. "When we can provide care without endangering the welfare of the patient through the use of our extensive out­ patient services, we do it." The number of emergency room procedures also was on the increase-from 7,377 to 8,221-to further reflect this meeting held at Farm Bureau headquarters last week.
