Population Control

I have one solution which
would solve two problems,
namely, the formidable pop
ulation increase, and the
need for a more equitable in
come tax base.
I suggest that instead Of
allowing exemption on tax
forms for each child, a charge
should be made for the extra
room each newcomer uses.
This form of control could
not possibly offend any re-
ligion, and millions would 60

Toxis Overlooked

The constant reference to
rapid rail, streetcarS and
buses as mass transporta-
ton" needs a second look. The
feature attraction is price,
with a great deal of incon-
venience-walking or driving
to the nearest boarding point,
loss Of time to make connec-
tions and additional loss of
time to reach final destina-
ton. Since time is money,
passengers are very selective
as to which form Of public
transportation benefits them
the most. Because of this,
taxicabS are in great demand.
We, in the taxicab indus
try, do not appreciate being
overlooked in mass transpor-
tation plans. Our some 5000
cabs contribute a tremendous
service in public transporta-
ton. During rush hours every
form of public transportation
is needed. During the slack
hours, taxicabS are almost the
only form of reliable public
transportation available. It
would be financial suicide for
railroad, streetcar or bus OPP
orators to continue around
the-clock service with all
equipment in use.
Many users Of public trans
portation combine q taxi trip
with a train trip, a taxi trip
with a streetcar trip, a taxi
trip with a bus trip, a taxi
trip with a private car trip.
or the reverse procedure is
used. Many use taxiS ex-
clusively.
Since we are all trying to
encourage a greater use of
public transportation, taxi
service must likewise study
ways and means to carry
greater numbers of passen-
gers. The recommendations
that we made at the mass
transportation hearings, No
vember IA, are intended for
that purpose and we trust
that they will be seriously
considered.

Templeton Jones is at

This means that his belt
is now in the sixth hole,

a bit tight, it is true, but very
solidly there.

Temp Jones gives this bit
OF advice, free:
Bring your own lunch, and
cut it down to the minimum.
Instead of two sandwiches,
bring just one.
Make the meat thick so
that the bread is increasingly
smaller day by day.
IN this way, ones precious
protein reserves are kept
high, and the starch is kept
down.
Some wag has said that
"a diet is something that
takes the starch out of you."
This bit of double mean
ing is true, both ways. Un-
less the protein in the diet
is pushed higher than usual.
To keep the old belt buckle
at a lower place, eat more
protein, and less starch and
sugar.
This is Jones' advice, and.
as far as we know, it is good
advice, and may help in the
current race to take of un-
wanted pounds.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Brain May Contain Sound Compass
By THOMAS r. HENRY

There may be q sound COM
pass in the top of the brain.
1t is a partially buried and
hitherto unexplored tissue
area of the cerebral cortex,
organ Of consciousness, which
appears closely concerned
with the ability Of higher
animals to tell the direction
from which a sound comes.
An even more important
function Of the area is dis
elimination of patterns Of
sound-such as a long note
followed by a short one, a
low note by a high one, etc.
Such a pattern can be made
as complicated as one desires.
This finding has been re-
ported to the Office of Ma
val Research by DR.. w. S.
Nef of the University of
Chicago.
The cortical region of con-
Scious hearing, it long has
been recognized, is the So
called temporal lobe of brain
cells located just above the
ear, and duplicated precisely
on each side. To this area
nerve paths extend from the
sound reception apparatus of
the ear, first passing through
the thalamus, or "old brain"
underneath the cortex which
is below the level of con-
sciousneSs. But in the thala-
mus the various elements of
sound such as intensity, fire.
quency and direction are
sorted out and conveyed by
various nerve routes to diff
ferent parts of the lobe where
they are fused into conscious
hearing. 1t is, at the best an
extremely complicated pro-
cedure.
Three Hearing Regions
Generally in maps of the
top Of the brain the hearing
area is divided into three
small regions, each primarily
responsible for some element
OF the hearing sensation.
DR.. Neff, working with cats,
cut out these areas by pro-
gressive stages. noting the
effects.
When the whole known
hearing cortex on one side
was cut out a cats ability
TO discriminate the direction
a sound came from was re-
duced from about 5 to 40
degrees Of the compass.
Ability to tell direction of
sound generally has been at
tributed to the balancing of
loudness between the two
ears, or two sides Of the
brain. But if an animal still
can localize after all the
hitherto known sound recep-
ton areas on one side are
destroyed there must be
some other factor involved.
At the present stage Of
the experiments, he reports,
there is strong evidence but
not certain proof that it is
due to some mechanism in
the newly determined area.
Concerning sound pattern
discrimination there is less
uncertainty. Cats can be
conditioned" to quite COM
plicated sound patterns -

HOLLYWOOD-This fall will see the biggest
invasion of television by top movie names in
the history of the new medium.
With the 1959-60 season pretty well shaped
up. the schedule of new shows indicates a
stellar turnout. Stars who can still draw top
money in films are turning to the series grind.
The lure is obvious: Security. They need
only observe the fortunes earned by Loretta
Young, Jane Wyman, Lucille Ball. Dick Powell.
David Niven and others who got into TV. The
important factor is not the salaries, but owner
ship of the series. This can amount to an
annuity.
Here are some of the newcomers:
Robert Taylor's Detectives (ABC-Friday,
10 PM. Taylor plays a captain of detectives
in typical American city. He will appear
In all the shows, following through on six of the
cases and assigning underling detectives to
the rest.

soprano treble added needed note to the pro-
grants vocal balance But Mama remained sub
stantially the same and went off. The Danny
Thomas and Father Knows Best shows, having
exhausted all possible premises, will be making
their new generation moves simultaneously this
season.
The network switch phase: Or we've got q
great show, friends, but we're bucking hot
western. Maybe the networks programming was
weak on particular night, the competition too
tough. In Danny Thomas case, 1t was life
saver. Never in the top rs on ABC. he hasn't
been out Of the top 10 (Nielsen) since he inher-
tied I Love Lucys old spot.
sThe end of the trail Residual Road Bob
Cummings, Burns and Allen and the Gale Storm
show are three of the latest rerun entries And
they do surprisingly well the fifth sixth and
seventh time around, proving that when some
fans like show, they like 1t all the way. One of
the current phenoms is the Amos n Andy show,
which gets healthy share of the audience
though it must be in its seventh or eighth rerun.
Most TV stars. incidentally, feel that iden-
tiication in particular role for too long Is not
the happiest thing for their careers. This may
explain the never again" stories at seasons end
Evening star., 1959-06-21

Like Danny Thomas Bob masterminds his
own show. His firm produces it and he owns a
big chunk of it-and If he should lose interest,
or elect to do something else, that's it for
the series.
Obviously, of course, he hasn't.
But, like the astute Thomas Young recog-
nizeS the fact that situation comedy series
with regular set of characters has to change
and grow if it is to survive the frantic TV pace.
The shows go through definite phases, which
can be described thusly:
The don't-change-a-th phase: Or, If
the show clicks, don't tamper with the formula.
The romance between show and audience con-
tnues for two and even three seasons as the
writer's focus on the characters in turn and
explore every possible angle. The fans rarely
miss episode.
- The guest-star period: Or Quick, Watson,
the hypo. Ratings not as high as they used
to be; the hard core of fans remain but others
goofing off to other channels. A guest star,
judiciously used, may bring them back (And it
also gives the papers something new to write
about. How many times can they discuss Robert
Young's Two Families, or The Real Jane Wyatt?)
