FRIBOURG, Switzerland, —
Television will be a boon to the
child if parents and teachers
cooperate to assure its use as an
educational means, an interna
tional Catholic radio and TV
group declared here.
A “Code for the Educational
Use of Television’’ was issued
here by the Radio-Television
and Childhood Committee of the
International Catholic Associa
tion for Radio and Television
(UNDA). The code was part of
a statement released here en
titled “TV: An Open Window on
the World.” It was prepared in
compliance with a resolution
adopted by the general assembly
of UNDA held in Geneva, Swit
zerland, last October.
In a prefatory statement, the
committee warned against tak
ing too literally the frequent
assertion that TV brings the
world into the home. It pointed
out that certain dangerous atti
tudes can result from confusing
the world on the screen with the
real world.
“TV does not take the place
of the world,” it said, “and the
TV world must never take the
place of the world that one can
touch, see, smell — where one
can suffer.”
The code . says that parents
should not expose children to
TV at too early an age. The
proper age should be determin
ed by the child’s mental devel- ;
opment rather than his chrono- '
logical age. Such physiological (
factors as the adjustment of the 1
child’s eyes, and such psycho-.
logical factors as his -ability t(l /
interpret images and to concern®
trate long enough to grasp the
continuity of an action, should
be taken into consideration, it
explains.
The code says that, at the be
ginning, children should not be
permitted to watch television
alone. They need parents to
give them a feeling of security
and to help them interpret ex
periences given by TV in terms
of their own consciousness. Fur
thermore, it says that parents
should be selective in their
choice of TV programs to suit
the nature of the family audi
ence.
The code also asks parents to
take into consideration certain
physical factors when permitting
their children to watch TV. It
points out that many children
sit too close to the set and in
that way endanger their eyes. It
suggests that healthy posture
while viewing shows should be
encouraged and that the place
ment of the set should be plan
ned to provide comfort and
healthy sitting positions for
young children.
The code says that the time
devoted to TV viewing should
be limited, that outdoor activi
ties should be encouraged for
the sake of well-rounded de
velopment of the child, and that
late-hour viewing should not be
permitted. Television during
meals should not be encouraged,
according to the code. TV should
be a positive factor in family
life and should not interfere
with a time generally given to
an exchange of ideas among the
members of the family and oth
er important conversations.

Ever play anagrams? If you have, you’ll know these
four scrambled words tell a well-known truth in these
days of mounting prices.
You may have to do a little figuring to discover
that it says “Electricity is a bargain”—but it doesn’t
take much figuring to realize what a great bargain
electricity really is!
Your pocketbook tells you that most items in your
family budget, items like rent, food, clothing, have
skyrocketed in recent years. Yet the average Georgia
Power Company residential customer is getting more
than 2 y 2 times as much electricity per dollar as he
received 25 years ago.
No wonder electricity’s the biggest bargain in your
family budget.

Radiological Research Must
Be Directed To Welfare Of
Man, Pope Tells Scientists
Movie Trend
Glamorizing
Nonconformists
SEATTLE, Wash., (NC)—The
current Hollywood trend is to
make a hero out of the rebell
ious nonconformist at the ex
pense of the good and happy
man, William H. Mooring, Hol
lywood columnist for some 50
Catholic newspapers, said here.
Mr. Mooring explained that
from the movie maker’s point of
view “it is so difficult to be at
tractive when you’re good and
happy — but when you become
wild and foam at the mouth,
then you become a likely Holly
wood character.”
The fad in today’s films, he
declared in a lecture at Seattle
University here, is to glorify
nonconformity for nonconform
ity’s sake.
As a case in point, Mr. Moor
ing offered the film version of
the controversial book “The
Nun’s Story.” He said the signs
are that the movie will depict
the principal character as a reb
el and outcast, rather than as
one who recognizes she made a
mistake in entering religious
life.
(Radio, NCWC News Service)
VATICAN CITY, — Scientific
research must aim at “increas
ing the spiritual energies of the
human being and freeing him
from bodily and material labor,”
His Holiness Pope Pius XII told
medical scientists in the field of
radiation research.
In an address to participants
in an international symposium
on radiological and nuclear
medicine, the Pontiff stressed
the need to pinpoint the effects
of radiation on the body. Prais
ing the research work being
conducted, he asked:
“Where would this patient and
most tiring labor in scientific
centers lead if (it were) not (di
rected) to gain the gradual lib
eration of man, the suppression
of physical and moral obstacles,
and the judicious use of his con
served or regained energy?”
The Pope’s talk recalled his
1955 Easter message, in which
he warned of “the horrors of
.monstrous offspring, and worse
still, the hidden shocks caused
to parental genes” that can re
sult from increased radioactivi
ty.
The Pope concludes his cur
rent message, however, by in
viting the scientists to share in
the triumph of Christ’s Resur
rection. Reminding them of St.
Paul’s words in his letter to the
Romans that “he who raised
Jesus Christ from the dead will
also bring to life your mortal
bodies because of His Spirit
who deals in you,” the Pope told
the researchers they would
“find comfort” in the “clear cer
tainty” of the triumph of Christ
at Easter.
In his address,, given in
French, the Pope noted the
great development of radiology
in medicine and industry in re
cent years. He cited the need
for measuring “with exact in
tensity the biological effects . . .
and above all the spectacular ef
fects of the nuclear weapons
which are constantly before
men’s minds today.”
The research now being con
ducted, the Pope said, “is fully
justified by the importance if
its goal, namely . . . human life
which depends on the adequate
utilization of radiotherapy.”
“It is no small or insignificant
thing when one concerns him
self with the interests of human
life,” he continued. “We must
always recognize where the true
greatness (of research) lies and
only apply the immense re-

sources of modern technology
for the purpose of increasing
the spiritual energies of the hu
man beings and freeing him
from bodily and material la
bor.”
In the course of his talk, the
Pope said:
“The extensive use of medi
cal radiology and the use of ra
diation in biology and in in
dustry render increasingly im
portant the need for measuring
accurately (their) intensity and
biological effects. Everyone, in
fact, is aware of the dangers
they can represent for the hu
man body, of the example of the
radiologists who have been vic
tims of it and, above all, of the
spectacular effects of the nu
clear weapons which are con
stantly before-the minds of men
today.
“You yourselves, in one of
your reports, point out the un
favorable effects they usually
have on reproductive cells. This
obviously engenders the need to
measure as accurately as possi
ble the intensity of this radia
tion and its various applications.
“But here you encounter two
kinds of problems: one of a con
ceptual nature and the other of
a practical nature. It is first of
all a question of the concept it
self of ‘radiation doses,’ which,
as you recall, has undergone a
slow evolution in the course of
the past 50 years. For the pur
pose of meeting the exigencies
of greater precision, a distinc
tion had to be made between the
‘dose of exposure’ and the ‘dose
of absorption’ or the ‘energizing
dose’ and, consequently, there
were established different units
(of measurement) for each one:
the roentgen and the rad.
“The question has not in fact
been exhausted, and at this
symposium you are discussing
the characteristics of other units
and their usefulness, among
other things, in protecting the
population against harmful ra
diations.”
