Hello everybody:

་

⭑ Here we are again with our chit chat for this issue... No 40 it is I frankly don't know what kind of magic Virginia uses to keep going as steady as 2 housewife on a telephone call to her girl friend. Me? I have to twirl my curls over and over again un til an idea pops up for the column The best tech nique I've found - is to let the typewriter roll. along by itself and see what comes out . With re gard to my little essay on children which appeared in #39 I have had the type of reaction I expected. A polite silence from most of my TV friends and an attempt at a smile from a few. Sheila says that the article was 11kely to stir up something. She noted that of the TVs we know there are about 8 cases in which the kids (school age) have been told and expos-- ed to the TV virus. (Daddy being the disease carrier) In all 8 known cases the results have not been fatal. The kids have not shown any sign of coming down with TV and they do not scream in horror every time they see Daddy coming home. Personally I know only one TV who has the secret desire to dress his small kid as a little girl. He has even bought a dress and all but the last I heard the kid acts scared of Daddy in dresses and would hit the ceiling if forced to dress up. The mother (as you can suspect) is def. initely horrified at the idea. So no sale! Other TV's have told me that they would not want their kids to be TVs. They feel that life is hard enough as it is without adding another cross to the load the off. spring will bearing.

I wonder.
