I can tee a deBnlte change in the amusement and entertain-ment habits of the family. 1 do think television is more conducive to VYinle "staying at home" than it is liable to affect Summertime activities.

The Reeonler Asks:
HJ ownership of a tt In
set kept you at home more than
before you had II?
The Public Annwer*:
Mrs. C. Matteurri. Ill Maple
Street: Ye*,, 1 think It has had
the "stay-at-home" effect on our
entire family. We have had our
set about two months, and. of
course, after the novelty of owner-ship
wean off, there is a slight
drlfUna; away, for we do have
other Interests. But for the niml
part. I can tee a deBnlte change
in the amusement and entertain-ment
habits of the family.
1 do think television is more
conducive to VYinle "staying at
home" than it is liable to affect
Summertime activities. Our two
beys like the baseball games best
of all, and the rest of the fsmily
prefers general entertainment.
