SOUNDING OFF
Frances Drew, co-president of
the Sacred Heart Parish
Council, has shared with us a
recent letter she sent to the
CBS Television Network in
New York. Miss Drew wrote:
“On December 8, I
happened to watch the show,
“All in the Family,” that you
broadcast at 9 p.m. The
action concerned the
problems of the daughter
whose baby was overdue.
“I would like to tel! you
that I was offended by the
needlessly earthy way in
which certain of her
discomforts were handled. I
was glad that I was alone,
because I would have been
very embarrassed had anyone
else been with me to watch
TV that night.
“Needless to say, I have
made my feelings known to
my friends and co-workers,
and I do not intend to watch
this show on a regular basis.
“In the same vein, i also
want to complain about the
commercials for feminine
hygiene and other bodily
functions being shown during
the evening time. If these are
really necessary at this time,
couldn’t you show them with
more taste?”
Any other reader response?

The Alliance Theatre
Company has received a
$5,000 grant from the
Georgia Commission for the
National Bicentennial
Celebration to mount two
special Bicentennial
productions. The two
productions will be
performed by the Alliance
Theatre’s Studio Company
and will tour high schools
throughout the State. The
grant supported the
development of two one-act
plays, both American pieces.
“Many Happy Returns”,
edited and directed by
Mitchell Edmonds, paints a
portrait of America in poetry,
songs, portrait sketches and
narrative taken from the
works of such writers as Walt
Whitman, Edgar Allen Poe,
Mark Twain, Edgar Lee
Masters and Carl Sandburg. It
b staged in a lively, free form
fashion, creating many
textures of America from
early times to the present.
“Charles II”, by
Washington Irving & John
Howard Payne, directed by
Mary Nell Santaeroce, is a
comedy-drama reminiscent of
the Sheridan/Goldsmith era
of British theatre but with a
distinctly American flavor.
The play’s setting
(Restoration London) and
English characters barely hide
the democratic nature of the
work. There are young lovers,
disguised libertines, plot
twists, schemes and happy
endings for all
Alliance Theatre Company
will take these productions,
made possible by this grant,
on a tour to various high
schools in the South. The
general public will have an
opportunity to see them free
in the Studio Theatre on
Sunday afternoons during the
regular Alliance Theatre
season running January
through May. The
productions are fully
costumed and tour with
portable scenery suitable for
stage facilities available at
most high schools.
The Studio Company is
comprised of young actors
and actresses who wish to
further their training in all
aspects of theatrical
production through practical
experience.
The members are selected
through a series of acting
auditions and interviews to
determine their dedication
and seriousness toward a
career in professional theatre.
New Choir At Dalton
Parishioners at St. Joseph parish in Dalton have had a busy
season so far and recently announced the formation of both a
children’s and an adult choir, both of which will make their
musical debut at Christmas. The newly organized children’s
group from the school of religion is under the direction of Ann
Montanaro and will present a program at the 9 p.m. Christmas
Eve Mass.
At the Midnight Mass, the new adult choir will take part
under the direction of Earl Ball.
Other recent activities of the parish include an Altar Society
rummage sale and a Circle One coffee at the rectory. The ladies
of St. Joseph’s held their annual Christmas party on December
13.
CCD classes of 7th and 8th graders sponsored a Thanksgiving
basket project with children furnishing canned goods for the
baskets. Eighth graders hosted a cake sale with proceeds
earmarked to purchase turkeys for six food baskets distributed
to needy families.
MICKEY JORDAN OF DECATUR has been
recognized as Author of the Year in the non-fiction
category by the Dixie Council of Authors and
Journalists for her first book, “Someday I’ll Be
Somebody.” The book was published by Logos
International in Plainfield, N.J. The writer was
honored during the eighth annual Authors of the Year
Dinner held recently at the Atlanta Women’s Club.
ABOUT TO BEGIN -- Archbishop
Donnellan and altar boys prepare for
the Mass of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The annual celebration takes place at
Sacred Heart parish in Atlanta.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is venerated
as Queen of Mexico and Empress of the
Americas; and her feast is a significant
Spanish celebration each year.
Church Should Be ‘Super TV Critic’
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (NC) - An
official of an association of Catholic
broadcasters has called upon the Church to
become “a super critic of television.”
“You don’t hear much from the pulpits on
the bad programs,” said Jerry Lackamp,
chairman of the awards committee of the
UNDA, USA, the professional association of
Catholic broadcasters. “The priests don’t
realize that their sermons are compared,
intentionally or not, with television
entertainment. A dull sermon is competing
with the dynamics of television.”
In an interview during the UNDA
convention held here December 4-6, Lackamp
said that television programming is based on
the “continuing assumption on the part of the
networks that they know what the public
wants, but it is getting obvious that they don’t
know.”
Calling this year’s television season “one of
the dreariest in years,” Lackamp said it is also
preoccupied with “sex and violence to the
detriment of children.”
“Violence,” he said, “has not abated except
in the family hour - which is just an attempt
to pacify a few congressmen - and that is
filled with gobs of sexual innuendo and banal,
boring material.”
The family hour was begun this season by
the three major television networks to curb
sex and violence on television during the early
evening hours.
“On Saturday morning,” Lackamp
continued, “where the sole audience is
children, the networks ignore the surgeon
general’s findings that violence on TV does
affect children.”
Lackamp, a member of the Cleveland
diocesan radio and television office, asked:
“What gives the networks the right to do this
to the kids?”
Answering his own question, he said that
the public has allowed the networks to set the
agenda of weekend morning television. “The §
people either don’t know what is on the tube |
Saturday morning or they don’t give a damn,” l
he said. “Parents are concerned about what
the kids get in school, but not about what i
they get in television, even though the
American bishops have called TV the ‘most
normative element in American society
today.’
“And that’s something, for the bishops to
say that.”
Lackamp said that since children spend
“more time watching television than any
other thing they do except sleep,” parents
should not let “the child control the dial.
“If he controls the dial, he will choose the
simplest thing - trash. Why not? Adults do.”
A long-time television viewer for UNDA,
Lackamp said that with “a few points of
exception” public television is “good,” and
commercial television can be enjoyed
selectively.
“We give the Gabriel Awards in five
categories to some good programming,”
Lackamp said, citing last year’s award winning
specials, ‘The Migrants’ and ‘The Cay,’ a story
of a white child marooned on an island with a
black man.
Father Angelius Andrew, OFM of London,
president of UNDA international, and the first
Catholic priest to produce religious programs
for the BBC addressed the convention of 100
mostly diocesan broadcasters. ,,,
He told them that the “Third World”
nations looked to America and Britain for
leadership and pleaded to UNDA members to
find ways to share their knowledge and
Christian views throughout the world rather
than remain diocesan oriented only.
One way to do this, he said, was to attend
UNDA conferences in other countries to
exchange ideas and share knowledge.
