Frick Declares
Tv Is Vital 10
Club Owners
~ the Associated Press

Baseball Commissioner Ford
rick told investigating Con-
;ressmen yesterday that tele-
'ision is a vital source Of In
ONE TO club owners. He said
hey would never promote
Widespread blackouts.
Prick disputed an estimate
hat restrictive agreements
lould deny big league telecasts
o the vast majority Of home
viewers.
Appearing before the House
subcommittee, Prick supported
ill that would sanction agree
nents to blackout major league
yarnes within rs miles of a
minor league park on any day
he minor league team is play
ng at home.
The National Association of
Broadcasters had estimated
such a pact would affect, at
least half the time. 1880, 900
homes. It said that would rep
resent nearly IS per cent of
the homes equipped with tele-
vision.
Air Income Necessary
Prick said proposals before
Congress might authorize broad
agreements concerning tele-
vision. But he said 1t would be
nonsense to argue that organ
lied baseball would encourage
nationwide blackouts.
Club owners, he testified,
need the revenues from broad
and telecasting to stay
In business"
The minors have long pro-
tested that they can't compete
at the turnstiles with the COM
petition Of free major league
games on home TV sets. Prick
said the minors need protection
to survive - and the majors
can't live without minor league
grounds.
Prick said major league clubs
banked about STA million from
radio-TV receipts in 1857.
Present revenue probably Is
somewhat less. he said.
There have been estimates
that sponsors are paying more
than $50 million this season for
all the costs Of baseball tele-
vision. including the World
Series and the two All-Star
games.

Representative William NJ.

suggested the majors might

income to the minors.
Prick said the majors already

studios TO let other writer's

Dialogue Was witty

lightful blend Of literacy and
slapstick. He wrote his
scripts with utmost care.

His characters spoke dia-
llogue that was witty and
wise (Brian Donlevy's COM
ments on politics In .'McOin-
ty"). But they were also
capable Of sudden and violent
surprises Henry Fonda's
prat falls in +The Lady

Sturges' decline started
when he left the discipline
Of the big studio operation.
He hooked up with another
eccentric. Howard Hughes, In
an Independent company.
Their first film was Q Harold
Lloyd comeback. THE Sin Of
Harold Diddlebock." This
typified Sturges' passion for
long. unusual titles. One Of
his ambitions was to name

those days, / realize that my
mother unconsciOusly fed us on
live seeds. For instance, she not
only refused to buy canned corn;
but went out in the garden and
picked the corn ten minutes before
dinner and we ate it ION the cob
when the kernels were alive. She
always avoided cooking tomatoes
or cucumbers or any berries be-
cause cooking killed the seeds. We
got our fats from homemade but
ter; and our carbohydrates from
oatmeal and corn meal; and the
needed minerals from Goldfish dried
in the sun.
The babies of those days were

stead of alive.
Make A Forecast
We can still buy fresh orange
juice rather than canned or cook
ed. Fresh fruit juices will always
be in demand, but the time may
come when we will take an orange
seed as a pill once a day! These

BABSON FORECASTS A BOOM IN SEEDS

Babson Park, Mass, Sept. H..
Once each year l like to discuss
foods. Usually it is at the close of
the summer, which I spend at
Glouster, Mass. where / was born.
There 1 once peddled vegetables
and fruits from a milk wagon. l.,
of course, am writing only as a
layman, surely not as physician
or druggist.
VitaminS, Minerals, and Bulk.
In my. youth 1 never heard of
''vitamins, minerals, or bulk" in
connection with food. In the spring
we were given cod-liver oil, which
I hated; and molasses with sui
phur on bread once a day. Then we
were given jellies which my mother
(bless her .souD had put up dur
ing the hot days of summer We
had potatoes, cabbages, squash,
and carrots in the house cellar; but
no green vegetables from Novem-
Der until rhubarb came again.
When i'll, we were built up" on
raw fertile eggs and raw milk. No
other kind of eggs or milk was
known. We had no bathroom in the
house, but walked through the
snow to a little ''out-house"-20
feet in the rear. We walked two
miles to school and back twice a
day-(while the children of 1850
are taken by bus and exercise in a
beautiful gymnasium after arrivaD.
We always attended church and
Sunday school whatever the wea-
ther.
Did Live Seeds Save Us?
AS l look back to the food of

which we buy the fillets. Frozen
foods have a wonderful advantage
for distributors; but they are dead
foods valuable largely for bulk.
Let me repeat, l am speaking
only as a layman (readers should
not pay too much attention to my
forecas). But here it is : Some
day your grandchildren will buy
packages of seed (now sold by the
supermarkets for planting in the
spring.. These seeds they will
soak and eat alive during the year,
just as we now take vitaminS, min
erals, and other expensive pills
which are sold at drug stores.
Furthermore, they will get a var
iety of seeds in order to get such
proper diversification as the fam
lily physician may order. The old
motto From Rags to Riches" may
become From Seeds to Health"
What About Gravity?
Life Magazine for September z,
1859 has an excellent article on
Bulbs" 1t, however, omits one i'm
portant fact, namely that bulbs
and seeds have one very unique
power--the power to defy gravity.
They not only know when spring
has come, but they have an exclu-
sive God-given power to defy
gravity and push upward through
the hard soil which has been frozen
all winter.

be on the. ocean headed for Swe-
den. Denmark, Germany, and else
where. Am taking a package of

our car we saw a neighbor of ours
looking in another neighbor's mail
box. The electric bills had just
arrived and she was nightly upset
with her healthy bill of so bucks!
They have central air-conditioning
and run theirs night and day. With
four children running in and out of
the house all day long it takes a
mite of electricity. Our electric
bill has never been even half this
much since none of us like the
house to be chilly. Z
This weather is lovely weather
for the Mid-America Fair that is
in Topeka this week. We took the
children yesterday. along with

ing as l was trying to get my work
in the house completed couldn't
help but think about all the other
mothers in this vicinity who were
doing the very same thing. l es-
pecially thought about the women
on farms anxious to get to the fair
to see if their pie this year had

if maybe sisters holiday" cake

if sons manual training had helped

SERVICE COSTS RISE

Economists have for some time been
pointing out that the big cost-of-living in
creases are being recorded by services rather
than by consumer goods This is borne out
once more by the Department of Labor's lat
est consumer price figures.
The prices of such things as food, auto
mobiles, clothing and furniture do creep up.
But the cost of services appliance repairs,
hair cuts, medical care and the ike-are
moving upward much more rapidly. More
than twice as rapidly, in fact.
The Labor Departments consumer price
index has risen by eight-tenths of one per
cent during the past year. While that was
happening the department figures show, the
cost of services went up 2.2 per cent. A
major factor in this rise was the Al per
cent increase in medical costs, but there
are many other factors
This trend is likely to continue. Whether
it is good or bad depends mainly on ones
point of view. Those who charge more for
services generally can point to higher costs
as the reason. The one safe conclusion is that,
taking it by and large, the customer is going
to pay more and more for everything that
is done for him.
