TV Review

BY TACY ZECKMAN

Is anyone else as annoyed as I am by the repititlous “Newsbreaks” many of the TV channels are indulging in? Almost every hour throughout the evening, there is a pause for “the latest news.” The announcer cheerfully and breathlessly spends a minute informing us of the most recent rape, murder, fire, accident or other distressing item - and asks us to listen at 11:00 for more details. Frankly, I can control my desire for knowing what is going on in the area and the world between the hours of 6 and 11 P.M. Naturally, I would hope that the channels would advise us of real emergencies - tidal waves, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other urgent bad news. Most of the news is depressing enough that it should not be administered so frequently. Many people watch television in

the evening to forget the cares of the day their own, as well as what is thrust upon them. It is difficult to relax ,when we are remided each hour of other people’s tragedies. I wonder too how many of us are really interested in being shown the broken bodies of victims or (in living color) blood-stained sidewalks. Do we really need to hear the agonizing comments of those who have just lost a loved one in some tragic circumstance? Television has a superb opportunity for informing the people of the real issues that affect them. Except for a few programs, such as "Sixty Minutes” and “Meet the Press,” it fails miserably. It consistently indulges in the, sensationalism which would be called “Yellow Journalism” in a newspaper.

EMERGENCY LOANS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION

A loan program to assist local historical societies and similar groups in meeting preservation emergencies will be offered this year by the New Jersey Historic Trust. Announcement of the new revolving loan program was made jointly by Deputy Environmental Protection Commissioner Betty Wilson who also is the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer and Charles P. Bailey, chairman of the Trust. They expressed gratitude to the Lillia Babbitt Hyde Foundation of Elizabeth for a $10,000 grant which made the

loan program possible. The grant will enable the Trust to start a modest program of assistance they said, which can be expanded in the future. Bailey said his organization is aware of the difficulties encountered by local groups in their efforts to save endangered buildings which are part of New Jersey’s heritage. Time is often the major problem, he added, noting that loans will be made available for emergency repairs and to meet deadlines for purchasing or removal of historic buildings which would otherwise be demolished.
