GARBAGE IN ENTERTAINMENT
BY LEWIS LLEWELLYN
Gov. George Romney, Michigan’s chief executive, recently declared that the moral decline in
the nation Is a greater problem than the war in Viet Nam.
He called attention to a weakening of religious and moral convictions.
That the entertainment media are contributing to this decline In morals has been noted by many
observers. Is this altogether unintentional or Is it -- partly, at least — deliberate?
Testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency has been quoted to the effect
that the president of a television network, on one occasion, Insisted that “sex and violence’’
must be included in the format of a specific series of television shows or the series would not
be shown dn that network.
“FILTHY, SMUTTY” SONGS
However, the president of a chain of radio stations, reacting against the flood of “filthy and
smutty” popular songs, has announced that the stations In that chain will refuse to play records
that "offend public morals, dignity, or taste.”
He denounced a segment of the record Industry which he described as “flooding our market”
with records that “deal with sex, sin, and drugs.”
There Is, of course, still the option on the part of the listener or viewer to turn off the radio
or television receiver when the material Is objectionable.
No doubt, the demoralizing, degrading radio, television, and motion picture shows would be
greatly reduced or even eliminated If people would refuse to allow themselves to be ensnared
by them.
GARBAGE IN THE SALAD
A mother was peeling and scraping vegetables for a salad when her teen-age daughter asked her
for permission to go to see a motion picture. The girl said that It was a questionable film but
all of the other girls were going and they didn’t think it would hurt them.
1 As she was talking, the girl saw her mother pick up some of the scraps and peelings and put
them into the salad.
“Why, Mother,” she exclaimed, “you’re putting garbage Into the salad!”
“Yes, I know,” her mother replied, “but I thought that if you didn’t mind garbage In your mind
and heart you certainly wouldn’t mind a little In your stomach.”
The B.bla tells what It Is that defiles a man — “evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, mur
ders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness.”
Is your family being fed with this kind of entertainment fare?

WILD ANIMALS OF SIX FLAGS
THE ULTIMATE IN ANIMATION
Ever try to hire a cougar to
snarl on cue, or a bear who
would recite lines and sing?
If you have, you know one
good reason why some $340,
000 has been invested In the
strikingly realistic three-di
mensional animated “stars” at
Six Flags Over Georgia. The
sl2 million, 276-acre family a
musement center. Another
reason is that these astonishing
animated characters give Six
Flags visitors a unique and truly
unforgettable experience In en
tertainment.
Located ten minutes’ drive
from the heart of Atlanta on In
terstate 20 (Birmingham-West)
at the Chattahoochee River,
Six Flags has just about every
thing anyone of any age could
ask for In the way of amuse
ment — over 75 different ad
ventures, rides, shows and at
tractions — not the least of
which are the storybook-come
true animated characters fea
tured in the Confederate, Fren
ch and Spanish sectors of the
park.
If you’ve been enchanted by
the talking and singing wood
land creatures who act out the
Tales of Okefenokee, thrilled by
the wild beasts and whooping In
dians who menace the river
boat on Jeanßibaut’s Adventure
or intrigued by the sinister re
sidents of Fort DeSoto, you’ll
be equally fascinated by the In
side story of the Intricate mec
hanslms that make these life
like figures go.
The characters and the roles
they play were conceived by
Randall Duell, the noted Cal
ifornia designer and architect
who did the Initial creative
planning of Six Flags Over
Georgia. The figures and the
animation systems that control
them were engineered and con
structed by Action Animations,
a Los Angeles-area firm which
has pioneered this newly de
veloped three-dimensional ani
mation.
“Two basic systems are em
ployed in our animations,” ex
plains Cleveland Smith, oper
ations manager of Six Flags.
“One uses small transistorized
motors Inside the figure. Hie
other works through a combin
ation of electronic impulses and
air pressure. Both systems give
highly realistic movement, but
each has its own special ad
vantages. The small motors are
used in many of the figures
on Jean Rlbaut’s Adventure be

Top Clubs ‘Easiest’ For Tribe
After half of the 1967 season
the Braves were in fifth place
in the National League stand
ings. However, of the four teams
that led them, Atlanta had its
best batting averages against
two and its best won-loss re
cords against two.
The teams that the Braves had
hit best against were the four
th place Cincinnati Reds (.327
in six games.) and the third
place San Francisco Giants
(.284 in ten games.) Against the
Reds, the Braves had seven
players hitting over .300. Ca
tcher Joe Torre led the group
with a .417 average for twen
ty-four times at bat. He was
followed by first baseman
Felipe Alou at .407, right field
er Hank Aaron at .393, se
cond baseman Woody Wood
ward at .385, left fielder Rico
Carty at .333, and shortstop
Denis Menke and third base
man Clete Boyer at .304.
Aaron led the hitters against
the Giants with a .472 average
for 36 times at bat. He was
followed by Francona who had
five hits in 13 times at bat
(.385) after joining the Braves
from the Phillies. Alou and
Carty also hit well against San
Francisco pitching with .310
and .308 averages.
The Giants were also the team
affected by weather, temper
ature changes, etc. The elec
tronic pneumatic technique is
used in the characters in Tales
of Okefenokee, which is all in
doors. It is a more versatile
system and gives the figures
more variety and refinement
of movement.”
Although passengers may find
it difficult to believe, every
creature they encounter — hu
man or animal — along the
Ogeechee River on Jean Rl
baut’s Adventure belongs to
the ranks of Six Flags Over
Georgia’s animated stars. Hie
Indian wielding a tomahawk,
for example, moves by means
of a transistorized motor in
his arm which is adjusted to lift
that limb with the anatomically
correct motion and appropriate
speed. Other motors move the
legs, torso and head. His action
Is triggered, as are all the fi
gures on Jean Rlbaut’s Adven
ture, by the passage of the ri
verboat itself, which carries
a special antenna that electri
cally activates the animation,
the synchronized sound and
special effects just In time for
boat passengers to witness the
full performance.
While the human characters
and the crocodiles are sculpt
ed from various modern plas
tics and fiberglass, the Adven
ture’s cougar and bears are
what might be termed the ulti
mate in taxidermy. They are
the exterior forms of actv 1
animals, not only preserved
but transistor-animated to give
a chilling imitation of life that.
