Frank Wisbar, producer and director of “Fireside Theatre,” says that “unlike movies, we do not have a ‘captive’ audience, one which must stay in the theater seat and watch or fall asleep TV’s audience is on the loose and a story must be good or ‘click* goes the dial . . . My greatest challenge is the knowledge that each week ‘Fireside’ has to hold the interest of families so com pletely that they will stay with us for the entire half hour . . No moUon picture man ever had such a problem! ” Mr. Wisbar is certainly correct, which brings up the question, if he Is so cognizant of this unhappy problem, how come Fireside Thea ter doesn’t come up with better scripts?

'T’HE young observer of today A who sees extensive move ments toward church union* can hardly realize how completely a generation or two ago the trend was the other way. 'Sectarianism and divisiveness were not only in the air, but right on the ground, with hard prac tical reality. In one Canadian town then there were two sorts of Method ism, each church representing a different organization. There were additional sorts of Method ism throughout the country There were, likewise, two sorts of Presbyterianism, and there may have been others as well. Wherever some presumably prophetic soul or ambitious leader thought he had discovered a new idea, he proceeded to build a new, and sometimes a very narrow and intense, denomina tion around it. That rank growth of the sects was in a sense the disgrace of Protestantism, but it also had in it a touch of Protestant glory— the emphasis on freedom.. Like all great men and'good things, freedom is capable of abuse. But freedom is neverthe less great and good. Today the trend is all the other way. Controversy has almost disappeared. The things that divided are hardly mentioned. Yet one Scottish church leader not long ago spoke of “good con troversy” as a great need of our time. And we might well ask wheth er with all the undoubted gains in present trends we are not in danger of losing some of the essential values of the times when Christians laid so much stress ypon their conscientious convictions and were averse toward comnromise.

ELEAZER As the bleak months of winter wore on, we kids of the Stone Hills grew more and more rest less for the wild plenty that usual ly came from the deep woods. Spring, summer, and fall saw these bounties come in abundance, if you knew where to find them. And we did. They took the form of meat for both the soul and the body, food and flower. But winter saw hard going for such things. And there wasn't much. * About all we could find at this season was the catkins (tags, we called ’em) on the alder bushes that grew along the spring drains and branches. And the boys from across the creek would bring hand fuls of small branches with long er catkins on them. We always thought they were from the chin- quepin bushes. We didn’t have any of those in the woodlands we ranged. And there was much trad ing for them with those boys. What we wanted with those cat kins, I don’t know. But we trea sured them, and would get our feet wet in icy water to get them. It seemed that they always grew in the most inaccessible places. The girls liked ’em too. And maybe that accounted for some of our zeal for the catkins that grew on the alder bushes in the damp spots in the winter time. I recall, there was a girl who met my secret fancy. I had been looking at her a lot, out of the corners of my eyes. One day she admired a hunch of catkins I had picked along the branch through the pasture as I came to school. I got up the nerve to give them to her: And, as I did, I quite Game-0f-Day Begins March 28 On Radio WKDK WKDK’s and Mutual’s Game of the Day play-by-play broadcasts of major league baseball, to In augurate its fifth successive sea son Sunday, March 28, will be aired from thirteen different home stadia this year.

If you intend to borrow on collateral, you should bring it with you. Generally, you can borrow money more cheaply at the bank than from other sources. If the loan is dis counted (interest paid in advance), the. rate of interest may be even lower. There are several ways to arrange a loan. YOU CAN BORROW ON REAL ESTATE If you own your home or other property free and clear you will find you can borrow a consider able sum here on a long or short term first mortgage at low rates. If your property already car ries a first mortgage, a second mortgage loan can often be arranged. YOU CAN BORROW ON LIFE INSURANCE If you have paid-up life insurance or policies with sizable cash or loan value, you can borrow money up to the full loan value here at very modest rates. Such loans can be made for either a short or long period of time. YOU CAN BORROW ON SECURITIES If you own government, municipal or corporate bonds or debentures, or certain types of mort gages, or high grade listed preferred stocks you can use these as collateral against a loan here at moderate interest rates. AN UNSECURED LOAN IS POSSIBLE Sometimes a loan may be made here on no other security than your signature on a note. A bank will often lend on “character” alone if the purpose of the loan is desirable and the borrower’s record and prospects are of the best.
