Yellow Journalism and Television One wonders whether a similar term might not he need in connection with some televieion programs. Guns and daggers of whatever variety might be considered of some value in wu but they are not in com- men use in the drawing room. Triangles and divorces may exist in life but it is I question whether their exploitation on tele- vision programs is elevtttirig for the youth- ful mind. There is such a thing as a gangs- ter but depicted almost daily on television crime, divorce cues, and in general to news which was of little value to the advance- ment of the community. The term "yellow" was used as an expression of criticism or disapproval of newspapers, said by their journalistic brothers to be guilty of methods which were not only bizarre and sensational but unethical. Anything to get an extra dollar. The term yellow journalism, as applied to newspapers of I decade or so ago, re- ferred to the tendency on the pm of some newspapers, in an apparent effort to attract subscribers, to give exec-live publicity to a....'..-, at--, --_-- . . _ This week, St. John Ambulance in this community is providing everyone with an opportunity to be fully prepared for sum- mer water accidents in case they happen. It is St. John Ambulance "Save a Life" Week and during this period free.two-hour classes in artificial respiration are available to the public. It you're like most Canadian, you'll be spending some time this coming summer enjoying this country's unequalled water attractions. _ But have you prepared yourself as well a. you might for this wonderful summer activity?

AT. 8-0731 One wonders who is responsible for tht choice of too many television programs. which suggest that there may be yellow journalism in television as well as in news- papers. It would seem that there are some people in the centre of things in the tele- vision field who are not too impressed by the difference between right and wrong but rather with the desire to bring in the dol- lars whoever may be hurt in the process. There is much good but also some danger- ous nonsense in television programs in North America, especially those originating in the United State: nun “MM--. _-_- . __ “V ....,..- v..5....uu5 in the United States. One wonders some- times whether the good programs get in by accident. Ten thousand Canadians have died by drowning in the last decade. You can do your part to reduce this dreadful toll by taking two short hours of your time next week to learn artificial respiration from St. John Ambulance. programs he may become a hero in the eyes of juvenile television fans. Imitation is a natural human character. istic and there have been numerous cot- amples quoted in the daily press of youth- ful hangings, stabbings. gun fights, and other deviations from the normal conduct of youth, which may well be imitations of television programs which depict not the normal but the unusual. Only the immediate application of arti- hcial respiration can save the life of I per- son after breathing has stopped as a result of near drowning. Without someone on hand who knows artificial respiration, nath. ing much can be done. St. John's objective is to teach artificial respiration to as many people as possible so that the chance of someone being prepared to help will be much greater. . St. John Ambulance will also provide in. struction for clubs or organizations wishing to take I class as a group. Although safety belts alone cannot pre. vent tragedy and are no antidote for care- lessness. they could save you from death or painful and disfiguring injuries. Here is the outstanding advantage. Seat belts offer about 60% reduction in the riot of injury arising from a car accident. Yea. as hi h as 60%! In a study made by Cor. nell Ri,1'd'l't'yo, it was found that in cars without seat belts involved in an accident. 75.5% of the occupants were injured. In cars where belts were in use at the time of the accident, 29.9% were injured. Applying these percentages to Ontario traftic acci- dept figures suggests that, if aeat belts were in universal use. tens of thousands of per- sonal injuries a year would be avoided in the province. That's a lot of injuries: and the subject deserves a lot of consideration. if some of the benefits might not outweigh the disadvantages. _ It is not likely that this cen- tury will see a greater woman athlete than Mildred (Babe) Zaharias, who died in 1958. She excelled in such varied sports as javelin throwing, hurdriU, basketball, baesball and golf. ' Flowering Shrubs "" PIIVET 12" IN FlllDOIOWN II" .
