round-table the idea early this
week after a meeting with
Allen.
A network spokesman ex-
planned yesterday that "it just
didn't belong on a comedy
show" He added that the
promising feature, with Steve's
ok, had been turned over to
the Public Affairs department
for consideration as a half f-hour
special.
The "tabling" could create
a mild furor but the NBC point
Of view may be the more valid
one.
Mr.. Shayon, in his laudatory
Saturday Review cover story,
"The Serious Side of Steve
Allen" recalls that he intro
duced a serious feature called
THE PSychiatriSt" on his To-
night show in 1855 and that the
comments from critics, social
workers, etc. were favorable"
NBC may have the better
memory.
Aliens idea and intentions
were generously applauded:
the execution, alas, was some
thing Of a fiasco.
I don't know why it is, but
every time Allen turns serious
on us (as with the book "cri-
tiquesD, he seems to forget
all of his communications
knowhow. I am happy to note,
incidently. that when he
recommended the 54-volume
series Of Great Books Mon
day, he thoughtfully added "if
you can afford it." Thanks a
lot.

good idea and, characteristic

Be Good Ambassador

WITH the approach Of the month Of
Americans are preparing to spend an
nual vacations in Europe, and in other
far corners of the world.
Therefore, this is good time to
mention word or two about diplo-
macy among the travelling American
public.
It is true that too often in past years
Americans have been poor ambassa-
doris in other countries This is not
to say that Americans should worry
too much about carrying on a diplo-
matte crus a de while travelling
abroad. But it is to say that they might
conduct themselves in such a manner
that they would not reflect discredit
on the United States.
1t should be remembered that the
United States is the most powerful
country in the world, and certainly
the richest, and therefore we encoun-
ter a certain amount of resentment,
or envy, among the peoples of poor,
less fortunate countries. If we flout
our wealth, and are loud and gener-
ally bombastic, it makes a poor i'm
preston on the more quiet, less ag-
gressive people of more doWntrodden
countries
Generally speaking, Americans are
poor ambassadors. AS a rule, they
want to be friendly, but they often in
trude on the privacy Of those who
have lived in more crowded CONT

$40 Million Slip

THE government is going to pay about
$40 million to cranberry growers who
were unable to sell uncontaminated
berries after last falls cancer scare
Some guy named Flemming who is
big wig in the government bureaucra-
cy thew the people of the nation into
scare last November when he con-
demned cranberries, some of which he
said were contaminated. People didn't
buy them for the turkey dinners and
it cost the government $40 million. 1t
hurts to know that we are the govern
ment and it took all of the income tax
from right goodly number of people
to pay for the mistake this guy made.
He spoke when he should have kept his
mouth shut. He has way of doing just
that.

nents, and who are accustomed to a
certain amount Of privacy and Sc
clusion.
More and more Americans travel
abroad each year. With the advent of
the jet aircraft, it will only be a few
years before all capitals Of the world
are only matter of hours away. And,
we believe airline prices will come
down in the next few years.
Therefore, the conduct of American
tourists will be increasingly important
in the years to come.

Newman Tire Company will occupy the
site vacated by Brickert Oil Company
with plans for a new building and

Farmvilles Shopping Center and the
new telephone building changed the ap-
perance of South Main street, and COM
pletion of dental offices by Dr. N. P
Miller at Main and Madison streets
will add to the metropolitan appearance
of that area.
Farmville is destined to continue to
be the shopping and community center
