EDITORIALS Mediocrity in Television The television networks have put up larjre sums of money to finance an organ ization which is supposed to combat the growing attacks on television. The attacks center around the theme that television is bogged in mediocrity. The television networks claim that this is not so, and that television must contain a variety of programming to meet the wishes of all segments of the population. They hope to counter some of the criti cism with the new organization, although it is specifically stated that criticism often serves a purpose, and that the object of the new organization is not to discourage constructive criticism. Of course, there is some merit on both sides in the current controversy. Anyone who likes sports, for example, will readily concede that television has filled a won derful spot in bringing to the far-away fan the tennis championships, golf tourna ments, Rose Bowl games, the World Se ries, boxing matches, etc. - On the other side of the question is the charge of mediocrity in the many dramas which fill the airwaves at night. There are those who believe that the current fare is- what Mr. and Mrs. John Doe desire. There are others who think that an ap proach pitched to a higher intellectual average would not only be appreciated, but enthusiastically- welcomed and sup ported by the vast majority of the view ing public. In any event, it is good to see that the charge of mediocrity in television fare is causing some action. As in any field, some of the programs and some of the commer cials are at a low ebb in the world of tel evision. On the other hand, there is much about which the industry can rightfully boast. It seems that the final answer would best be determined by a representative poll among viewers. The poll, if it were to be accurate, should be conducted by a completely independent source, and would be an expensive undertaking. Also, and this is the controversial fea ture of the poll proposal, the poll should include the better- educated to a greater degree than the population ratio would normally dictate. For, if television is to reach the maximum potential, it should inspire, educate and uplift in addition to entertaining. And, we have never been convinced that presentations could not be both ed ucational and entertaining or inspiring and entertaining at one and the same time-. The usual crime portrayal, or the ovei emphasis on moral rot-rmtt" sleazy plots? while possibly entertaining, are not neces sarily the best entertainment. .W.v.v.v,v.v,.v.v. Down Memory Lane YEARS ACO w The members of the Roman Catho lic church in this community joined in the observance of the 80th anniversary of Catholicity in this city with a field mass celebrated at Garfield park, a few steps from the site of the first church and a few blocks from where on July 7, 1859, Father Francis Cannon, OSF5, in charge of fffmr ihe faith in Omaha, tame to Flattsmouth to the home of Mr. and Mrs. , Conrad Schlater celebrated the first mass of the :::;:::;:v;:;:: church in IMattsmouth, attended by some seventeen members of the church. Mem bers -of the Catholic faith assembled at St. John's church at 10:30 a. m. and headed by the IMattsmouth band followed by members of the St. John's and Holy Ros ary congregations marched to the -park. Among the members of the church soci eties and church members were Monsig nor George Agius, Father Joseph Sinkula of the Holy Rosary church and Father E. C. McFadden of Avoca. At the park the altar had been arranged in the band stand where was awaiting the Most Rev. Louis Ij. Kucera, bishop of Lincoln and his party of prelates. The crowd num bered several hundred who stood through the rainfall to hear the mass. The choir and organ were sheltered from the worst of the rain in a tent. The pontifical high mass was celebrated by Bishop Kucera, assisted by Father McFadden as deacon, Father Thomas Bowdern, SJ, of Creighton as subdeacon, Father Joseph R. Sinkula was sanctifier, Monsignor Maurice Hel man of Lincoln was master of ceremo nies The anniversary dinner was served by the ladies of the St. John's and Holy Rosary churches. Four hundred were served during the afternoon following the mass. Father McFadden was master of ceremonies and presented the speakers. On behalf of the city Mayor George Luschinsky extended the welcome and the response was given by County Attorney Walter II. Smith. Superintendent L. S. Devoe responded for the non-Catholic residents and told of the fine spirit and friendship shown by the various religious groups together. Rev. Thomas Bowdern of Creighton university gave a very elo quent and impressive talk as did Gover nor R. L. Cochran who received a fine ova tion and spoke briefly of his boyhood in Cass county and commended the church people for their wonderful record of ser vice for state and nation.

By carrier in Plattsmouth, 25 cents foi two weeks Lower Feed Grain Prices Are Forecast LINCOLN Feed grain pric es, except for corn, will be low er during the 1959-60 season than last year because of lower price supports and large supplies. That's the conclusion of Dr. Paul Guyer, animal husbandman and Dr. Everett E. Peterson, larm economist in the Univer sity of Nebraska Agricultural Extension Service. Ineir co.m . ments are included in Extension circular No. 59-808 entitled "Nebraska Livestock and Feed Roundup for 1959-60." The national average support prices compared with 1958 are: oats, 50 cents a bushel vs. 61 cents; barley, ,77 cents vs. 93 cents: and grain sorghum, $1.52 a cwt. vs. $1.83. Smaller crops of these grains, the "over-pricing" of corn and more livestock may prevent market prices irom falling to support levels. "The market prices of corn will be a little higher this year than in 1953-59 despite the record corn crop unless harvesting cou-1 ditions are unfavorable this fall. The support price on 1959 corn is 6 cents a oushel higher than on non-compliance corn in 1958 and will average about $1.07 in Nebraska," the specialists point out. "All corn, grown anywhere is eligible this year provided that USDA storage requirements are met. Since most corn growers did not comply with their allot ments in previous years, this has the effect of raising trffe support price on corn this year, li the market prices of other feed grains, and especially grain sor ghum are near their loan rates, it will pay to store corn under price supports and bu "other grains lor feed." "Prices of most protein sup plements declined this spring and summer, especially those oi soybean meal, meat meal and tankage. In early August the wholesale soybean meal price was $25 a ton below. a year earl ier; meat meal was down $44 a ton. Alfalfa meal was $7 a ton year because prices of these pro duct declined. The hog-corn ratio dropped irom 18.2 in June 1958 to 12.9 this year. The beef-corn ra tio at 21. s is 5 points above the 1948-57 average of 16.8. Expan sion of livestock production will continue through 1960," the spe cialists believe. Bids Asked on $23.3 Million Bonds by CPPD COLUMBUS Consumers Public Power District has ask ed for bids on $23,300,000 in rev enue bonds. The money will be used for completing construction of CPPD's 100.000-kilowatt "Shel don Station" project now being built near Hallam. Wayne E. Barber, Norfolk, fer of $12.22 for hauling disal lowed.
