TV Researchers Tell Parents How to Talk Back with By Shawn Marshall Figures indicating that many children today will have watched about nine years of television by their later life are convincing evidence of the TV's effect on society. Parents particularly are faced with deciding the type of programs and the amount of television they allow their children to watch, according to two researchers for the Children's Broadcast Insti- tute. Janice and David Nostbak- ken, a couple working with the institute to measure the effect The New JOHN DEERE Low Profile 1630's are now available at MORGAN B. BAKER EQUI PMENT LTD.

Telephone 705-324-4566 Television that the medium bas on children, were guest speakers at the Mitchell's Corners Home and School Associa- tion's meeting on Jan. 19th. More data gathered to- gether showed that the TV's influence tends to keep Cana- dians in the home instead of active outside. It may also effect people's eating and sleeping habits, their relationships with others and even their own lifestyle. As an example, David Nostbakken, a communica- tions lecturer and researcher said if the main character of a popular program acts in a certain way, it may also shape the perception and actions of a young viewer. While pointing out that there are almost no real experts in the field of television re- search, information on the medium is available for inter- ested parents, he said. Recent books on the subject range from "Children's TV, The Economics of Exploita- tion" to another publication on its use in the home and school, "How to Talk Back to Your Television Set." The amount of viewing time for children varies from as much as seven to nine hours to none at all for some. But on the average, a child will watch Opening new doors ~ tos aII business MRS. W. E. CLIFFORD one of our representatives will be at Flying Dutchman Motor Inn, Highway 401, Bowmanville, Ontario on Wedensday February 9th, 1977 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tel. 623-3373 for appointment. Mid from 212 to 4 hours every day, reports have shown. Perhaps a positive influence bas been its ability to provide viewers with a wide range of experiences which they could not have without it. Janice Nostbakken, a pro- duction consultant for the CTV show, "Kidstuff" told the gathering of parents and teachers that television broad- casters are well aware of the need for top-notch children's programs. Even though thé demand is high for shows offering view- ers violence, she expressed optimism that children's pro- grams will achieve high ratings with the current qual- ity of their production. Besides striving for high ratings, producers are now also seeking public input in the way of both criticism and recommendations for what goes on the TV, she said. But parents must also take responsibility for what the family will watch, she urged. Censorship However most parents want to screen the amount of time and the variety of programs seen by the family, for some of them turning off the TV in no easy task. Some of the recommended methods for coping with it included setting ground rules for viewing at an early age so that they become clearly understood. Another suggestion was to use the TV guide to its fullest extent, by going through it in advance to make choices on what will be seen in the coming week. Others have solved the problem by allowing the children to watch it only with them present. Speaking from their own experience, the couple said that the medium is the greatest tool for educating children presently available to parents. But it can also become a monster that will threaten to take over the parental role completely, they warned. The Children's Broadcast- ing Institute was established recently as' a body to help parents understand TV and to promote a high quality in children's programs.

The growth of the church in Canada has been rapid be- cause of the dedication of some 25,000 fulltime mission- aries serving throughout the world. Two Mormon missionaries are now living in Bowman- ville. They are Elder Lane Parker and Elder Gordon Kohl. Elder Parker is from Auburn, California and Elder Kohl is from Cedar Rapids Iowa. Both of these young men are 20 years of age. The questions most often asked are: Why would these and other young men and women leave their family and friends to devote two years of their lives to service for the church. Both Elders sincerely believe that they have a responsibility to share with the people of Ontario their method of getting closer to our heavenly father and their Greenwood had a 344 and Bernice Budai a 253.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is based on a feeling of love and togetherness. They feel that happiness in this life should be found with the family. They believe, that the head of the church is directing his child- ren's thoughts through a living Prophet. Because of the great emphasis on families and family life, an important part of the church is the activities provided for each member of the family. Elder Kohl said we respect the free agency of every individual, however we are delighted to share our beliefs as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with all interested persons.

Kevin Noble got an assist on Simpson's goal. Stan Green- ham was then set up by Brent Clemens to eut the lead to 5-2. Carl Chambers worked hard behind the Oakville's net and threw a pass into the siot and Simpson rapped it home for a goal. Oakville got their second goal and then Chuck Welsh cut the lead to 6-3 when he converted a Steve Braun's pass into a goal. Final score Oakville 6 Toros 4.

Constitution Insura- nce Minor Midgets Bea-t A jax Un Schedule's Final Game Our Constitution Insurance Minor Midgets have improved steadily all season and on January they downed the first place Ajax Midgets in a 3 to 1 defensive battle. There was no score until almost the end of the second period when Ajax finally scored and then a few seconds later John Stewart scored from Scott Clifton and Jim Hogarth for the Toros. In the third period, Greg Brunt scored one unassisted and added another later from Steven Frank and Jody Ross. Ajax really needed this game for a playoff draw, so with 2 minutes 30 seconds left they pulled their goalie when Bowmanville had a double penalty! The Toros held them off to maintain the 3 to 1 edge. Toros ended the regular season with an 8 win 4 loss 2 tie record and commence their first round of the playoffs January 24th in Markham. Downed by Belleville On Young Canada Day, Saturday Jan. 22nd; the Toros faced a good, fast skating club from Belleville and were downed 4 to 2. It was a good effort for our boys to keep the triple A team in check. The two Bowmanville goals were scored by Greg Brunt from Jody Ross and from John Stewart. 'Duke' Brunt was awarded the most valuable player trophy for the Toros. Kevin Gibson and Mike Pat- terson shared the goaltending.

The counsellor asked the children if any of them had dver moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers. In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they arrived, and the integration proceeded relatively smoothly. Community counselling is one of the major roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission. We hold seminars and discussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them and minority groups, to help relieve tension and promote mutual understanding. We attend meetings of immigrants and native-born minority groups to explain to them both their rights under the legislation and their responsibilities as citizens of this Province. We also help bring people into contact with local agencieslike home-and-school groups, community and government agencies, and churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even know exist. Wherever there's a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed, the HumanRights Commission is available to generate discussion arid motivate people to develop understanding and respect for the other's point of view.
