By Nancy Ezzell
Hardly any field of human endeavor and interest has been
neglected by the Big Eye of Television in its growth from
infancy to a somewhat immature maturity. The viewing pub-
lic has been given the opportunity to become familiar, vicar-
iously, with many phases of living which might otherwise
have remained outside its ken. The faces of famous people
are as familiar to television oudiences as those of their fam-
ily (more so, in some cases, I dare say). The vagaries of the
world's weather are known throughout the land. And the
voices of TV favoritos, along with their most familiar ex-
pressions are part and parcel of youth's conversation.
Thanks to television no one need be a country cousin when
he arrives in the City, for if he's watched enough of the day-
time serials and nighttime situation comedies and dramas
he should know just what to expect—the hustle and bustle of
a train station, the danger of pickpockets, how to address a
cabbie or a waitress, what to say or what not to say to a
policeman, how to tip a bell boy with nonchalance and how
to act in a fancy restaurant, how to enter a theatre or a night
club, how to behave at a baseball game in Yankee stadium
or a football game at the Rose Bowl.
Television has introduced many an innocent bystander to
the intrigue and intriguing procedure of courtroom processes
—and, perhaps, given some of them a little less fear of some-
time being a part of that phase of life, era a Juror, say, or a
witness in behalf of a principal, a friend, or an innocent party.
The increasingly popular medical dramas such as Dr. Kil-
dare, if they don't make hypochondriacs out of those viewers
who tend to identify strongly with the patients as they come
and go, can also servo to make the public aware of the im-
portance of frequent physical oxams and to give them confi-
dence in the medical profession.
However, at least one phase of daily living has been neg-
lected by television producers—such a fruitful field that I
wonder someone hasn't harvested it already. We know how to
act and react in a court of law; we're increasingly able to
speak and interpret the language of medicine, but how many
of us average Americans can enter the doors of a banking
institution without some small trepidation. No matter how
sure we may bo that our cheek is good, our deposit slip ac-
curately made out. our loan request a legitimate one and our
collateral good, our business in these halls legitimate, most
of us have some small feelings of not belonging here. We
know we're honest, we're pretty certain wc aren't overdrawn,
but a fumbled quarter, a stuttered greeting to the teller, can
make us feel as guilty as any thief.
Give us a new series, television geniuses, so that we
can approach our bank teller's window with the same assur-
ance we would a major operation or a trial by jury.

Pot plants, with their living message of love, are a do-
light to hospital patients, but they can bo something of a
nuisance to those who aro oarinrr for them. For no matter how
carefully they are vvatorod. some water will frequently drain
onto the furniture beneath the plants, creating a problem for
the hospital staff.
Mrs. Mary Louther is requesting, through this column, that
we housewives save the plastic containers in which some of
our household bleaches such as Clorox are now being bottled.
These containers, when empty, can be cut with a pair of scis-
sors and serve as excellent containers for pot plants.
Various brands of bleach come in various colors of plastic
bottl— all would be useful at the hospital. So as you empty
such containers drop them by the hospital where they will be
put to further use.
