1Oh XO, NAEI.-OdPA4ACcC 4C4C-
vision looks about the same as
America Tv did six years ago except
that
Nude dancers are sometimes seen
on night shows;
Every channel might telecaSt the
same progam-sumo wrestling;
There Is no Late. Late Show.
Otherwise, japanese TV strongly
resembles the poStpioneer program
ming of the American industry. En-
tertainment values are moderate. The
bulk of the live shows are one or
two-set plays like Studio One did in
its early years, or musical-variety
programs. The latter are simple
productions in which pop singers
mouth lyrics to records, as on the
Dick Clark Show.
American series are popular here.
especially Westerns. Lucille Ball be-
came favorite with the show. often
pronounced here Rove Rucy. But
the government restricts imported
shows to 10 half-hours per channel
each week.
So far, feature movies haven't
glutted the TV market. A few are
shown, and it is refreshing for the
Western visitor to watch High
Noon" on the noncommercial MIX
channel without having car sales
men interrupt each reel.
Recently big block of old REzO
films was sold to TV. Japan'S film
industry raised such a protest that
further dumping of movie backlogs
may be curtailed.
Old American movies are shown

and even superior to the American
kind:
0 Sports. The Japanese are daffy
on sports, and there appear to be
no restrictions on televiSing the big
events. After news (favorite with
SO per cent Of viewers), sumo wrestl-
ing draws the biggest interest (79.S
per cent?. Baseball is another big
attraction.
o Color. The apostle Of color TV
Is MatSutaro Shoriki, chairman OF
the Commercial Nippon Television.
His station puts on three hours Of
color daily, including the Perry
Como show. So far, only 1900
color sets are in use. and the 81 800
cost per set holds down expansion.
But Shoriki hopes the cost will di-
minish and he has installed $50
sets on Tokyo streets to further
popularity.
0 Education. Japan is miles ahead
of the United States in educational
TV. This is due in part to the fact
that the major network is public
supported (but not government-run).
The 800 yen (83 cents) monthly
levy on the nations six million TV
sets provides NHK's budget.
0 State Entertainment. Can rau
imagine getting a Broadway per-
formance of MY Fair Lady" on
your home screen? That's the
equivalent of what japanese viewers
can see.

The American Light Opera
Co. romped through a perform
ance Of "The Gondoliers" at
the theater Of Georgetown's
Holy Trinity Church last night
This production was rather
more ambitious than other
shows by the company. in the
sense that there was an orches-
ira and a large chorus.
OF course, "The Gondoliers"
is not really anyone's favorite
Gilbert and Sullivan. The oper-
eta is mostly warmed over
from earlier shows. But there
are good moments. and some
of them were captured.
William Wheless turned in
an excellent performance, vo-
cally and dramatically, in his
role Of half q king and two
thirds a husband. Also, James
Ueberhorst substituted at the
last minute for Leslie Quinn as
the Grand Inquisitor, and car
ried off the role well. Thomas
Jones was consistently good as
the Duke Of Plaza-Toro.
AS a production, there were
lots Of loose ends. Whoever
painted the columns in the
first set had the sun shining
from opposite directions at the
same time. The stage was too
crowded, when all hands mus
tered. The conductor managed
to divorce the orchestra and
chorus fairly often. A few
deathless lines were forgotten.
But the worst, to my astig-
matte eyes, was the ceaseless
motion Of everyone on the
stage. It was like electrons
writhing in an atom. or like q
skillet Of popcorn.

Well, first off the mechanic
said we needed a brand new
muffler. We figured this at
81 or SO and said a grudg-

lunch and came back in an

putting the finishing touches

couldn't give US a new Sticker
because the window was
cracked in two places.
One crack would have
passed the inspection law,
but not two, he said. We
inquired about the probable
cost of getting a new door

said. So the pickup was sent
around the corner to a win

These dreams are the power
that make youth go. They
are the aspirations that carry
youth bravely sometimes

goals that prod youth over

it has to offer.
Serves Purpose
Does it matter if the goals
of childhood are not attained?
The poet Robert Browning
wrote:
"Ah, but a mans reach
should exceed his grasp.
"Or what's a heaven for?"
BY bringing out the best
that is in an individual, the
dream has served its purpose.
But then it is weaving
time. Somewhere in the mid
die years we must let go Of
the dream. We must, in our
maturity, recognize the dream
for what it really is: A child
hood spur to get us on our
way. a goad.
Now that we have done
our best (or at least made
a good attempt. more goad-
ing is SuperfluouS-it merely
causes pain.
But beyond that, it is time
that we as middle-aged adults
perceive the reality behind
the dream. 1t is time to
diagnose the dream.

You would think that out
in the country where income
dribbleS in very slowly, the
cost of services would be
proportionately smaller be-
cause living costs are lower
than they are in the big
cities.
Not so. Not in my area.
anyway. I have found the
cost of many services, in
cluding medical and dental
fees and machinery repair
costs to be actually higher
than they are in the cities.
THERE ARE exceptions, of
course. Our family physician,
DR.. John P. Snead, main
tains his office at a town
25 miles from our farm, but
we never complain about the
distance. He's not only very
capable but has the most
reasonable fees you could
imagine-$1.50 to $3.50 a
visit, often including medi-
cines. I'll grant that this is
extraordinary.
When it comes to charges
made by many garages, my
temperature really rises. If
you detect a seething note
in this column, it's because
I have just shelled out
too much money for the
privilege Of getting my semi
annual windshield sticker
certifying that our pickup is
safe to drive.
Now, I think the State
law here requiring motorists
to have their vehicles in
spected for safety every six
months is a good law. 1t
undoubtedly prevents serious
accidents that otherwise

fallacy is even more pitiable.
often more ludicrous, and
sometimes physically and
mentally devastating.
DR.. Marion Hilliard Of
Women's College Hospital in
Toronto declares. Women
whose sole sustaining asset
has been their appearance
are the most pathetic Of all.
-. We all know wretched
old women with orange hair,
round spots of rouge and a
determinedly girlish cackle.
They are the Saddest spec
tacles of the human race. I
know them as a doctor be-
cause they are ravaged inside
with the symptoms of fear
tremors, bowel and bladder
irregularity, dyspepsia and
insomnia"
What do we accomplish by
our idolatry of youth except
to condemn ourselves to in
evitable decline once youth
has passed? Instead of find
ing new glorieS and new sat
isfaction in each succeeding
year toward life's fulfillment,
we become panicky and at
tempt patheticaly and clown
iShly to bring back. or at
least to simulate, the out
ward face of youth.
We Defeat Ourselves
Youth has passed, but we
are determined to say it isn't
so. And thus we defeat our
selves. For as middle-agers
we could hardly pass as any
thing better than second
class youths. And at the same
time, we miss the opportu-
nifty to be first-claSs middle
aged adults.
In middle age we have a
greater chance at success
than we ever had. For it is a
realistic success at living
rather than youths frantic
race. Its goals are simple,
friendly goals. attainable
within. Success in middle age
becomes personal rather than
competitive.
DR.. A. w. Macleod, asso-
ciate director of the Mental
Hygiene Institute in Mon
treal, comments, Some peo-
pie are overwhelmed when
this idea of middle age hits
them. But the really mature
person looks forward to mid
die age when he will be fully
committed to life.
Unlike the young, the ma
ture middle-aged person is
Evening star., 1961-10-18

that the wealth, the acclaim,
the celebrity we may have
dreamed Of so longingly-all
these have little to do with
the inner peace and depth
of satisfaction. the self
realization, which now reveal
themselves to us as the truly
worthwhile goals of life.
Cue From st. Paul
We might take a cue from
st. Paul, in his First Letter
to the Corinthinas: When I
was a child, I spake as a
child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child: But
when I became a man, I put
away childish things"
In middle age, we may say
in our inner thoughts, "The
dream was fine. 1t was suit
able to childhood. 1t gave me
the Zest and courage, 1t
spurred me to put forth the
effort to accomplish the most
1 could in life. Now it is time
to put away childish things
and take advantage Of the
vast opportunities opening up
to me for the achievement
of even greater goals in life.
Rich and famous I may
never be, powerful never, a
celebrity never-but I have
a good chance to become
wise. to develop myself to the
fullest into a warm and low
ing human being, to find
within me an attunement to
my world and my fellow man
and God; to SAVIOR life and
to enjoy life in its deepest
essence as I never have and
never could before"
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
has written, Perhaps one
can at last in middle age
be completely oneself. And
what a liberation that would
bel"
Not Ready
Liberation, indeed. But
many middle-aged men and
women are not ready to be
liberated. They don't really
like themselves enough to be
themselves. They are caught
up in the losing game of try
ing to be 10 or Is years
younger-failing to recognize
that in falling for this fet-
ish of youth worship they
are not ony rejecting them
selves but writing off their
future.
Men are ridiculous enough
when they attempt at so to
dress and act as though they
Evening star., 1961-10-18

ure as the trousers or the
dresses they wore when they
were youngsters.
Childhood dreams are Won
derful for children; but when
we keep clinging to them in
our middle years, they can
make failures of us all. This
is not because the childhood
dreams are wrong - it is
rather that we misunderstood
their function.
AS children, most of us
have built a childish fairy
land, under the heady illu-
sion that we might grow up
and live in it.
Perhaps we have built air
castles of success and fame.
We may have seen ourselves
as renowned artists, writer's,
actors or musicians; as rich
and powerful business eXecu-
tiveS; as revered professors
or honored governors; as in
ventors or scientists or engi-
neers Swathed in acclaim. We
built lofty towers in our
dreams and flew the pen
nants of success from dizzy
pinnacleS.
Have a Purpose
Such dreams are not with
out a purpose. 1t is right for
youth to set its sights on the
highest spires. For thus
youths energies are released
in all their boundlesSness.
Without such aspirations.
youths energies might lie
dormant.
A boy who could not in
his childish dreams see him

aware of his own limitations,
but this awareness doesn't
floor him. Instead, he be-
comes realistic about his
goals-and therefore has a
very good chance of achiev-
