Opposes CBS Color System

Apparently a great injustice is about
to be foisted on the American public.
l refer to the report that the FEC is
contemplating the approval Of the CHS
color televsion system, involving the
elimination Of the present 525-line black
and white system.
I speak not only for the present TV
set owners (about million) but also
for the millions of future owners. To
reduce the scanning lines from 525 to
405 reduces the fidelity Of the trans
mitted picture about % per cent. It
may be compared to the effect expert
enced by using magnifying glass when
viewing newsprint or magazine Illus

By Frederick Brown Harris
Minister, Foundry Methodist Church; Chaplain
United States Senate,

Surely, the call of this decisive day
is away from the know-how to the
know-why and the where 1t is a
summons to halt-to be still-and enter
into the refreshing realization of the
things we can get along without
The story is told of a woman who
went TO shopping district Of her city
bent on reveling in the glittering ex-
hibition of things. She had $40 to spend
on anything she wanted badly enough
to lure the cash from her pocketbook
On the way home. with a strange light
In her eyes, she exclaimed to a friend:
I've had the most wonderful shopping
trip I ever renember!" Looking with
curiosity at the shoppers empty hands,
the friend asked: What did you buy?"
Nothing" was the reply. that's what
makes it SO marvellous I couldn't find
what had in mind to purchase. But,
somehow, as looked in lot, of shop
windows. I got all steamed up about
the enormous number of things I am
really better of without" That was
a greater victory than Thoreau's at
Walden Pond as he lived with no tempt
ing things in sight. All real triumphs
are won not out of the world, but in the
world. The way to get lift from shop
ping is to look gleefully at the things
one can do without-especia1ly If, WITH
the money you haven't spent, you can
therefore make an added contribution
toward answering your own daily prayer,
Thy kingdom come"
Life opens into vaster amplitudes
when there flashes the emancipating
vision that we can get along without
things whose possession sentences other
people to poverty. We certainly can get
along without cushioning our own lives
with the things that impoverish our own
painting hearts. We can do without any,
thing that keeps us from seeing, feel
ing. helping, growing. lest we be among
those who with loaded arms yet with
hobbleG feet and blinded eyes grope
down a narrow gorge, and call it life"
RELENTLESS press the many things
So urgent and imperative.
Q life. why must you always leave
SO little time in which to live?"
Can 1t be that as Americans we are
paying far too much for things that we
can do without?
