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.
