After bachelor or in- stitutional meals there would be plenty of turkey and trimmingsconsumed by the above crowd Dismantling our Christmas trees and putting away the trimmings for another year is one of the sorriest aftermaths of the season - but how would you like to be the two "Dons" of the P.U.C. - Don Ellwood and Don Bartliff? They spent the greater part of Tuesday removing the Town's decorations and with much T.L.C. piling them on the truck for cold storage until next 'Yuletide Season.

There , aren't you glad that all of the above items were gifts over the writer's desk? - That rhakes up for the weeks when nothing comes in and you have to' suffer through some of Gibb's gibberish.

(News-Reciird photo) CLINTON PUBLI WORKS COMMIT TV scl'eerts may be hurt by video games The Department of Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs has alerted Canadians to a possible problem which may develop in television sets when used with electronic video games,. Prolonged use of the games may cause the game pattern-- to remain, visible as a dark outline during regular TV viewing. The department is already in consultation with the, electronics industry to. in- vestiga,te the reported problem. _,One.:41-faior retailer a 1 re a dy has begun warning pur- chasers of video games about the possible problem based on its own experience with TV sets used in its ,stores, over prolonged period's, for demonstration purposes. This information tends to confirm recent conversations between ' officials of the department and the Elec- trical and.. Electronic Manufacturers Association of Canada. . In the cir- curnstances, with an increase in 'the purchase di; vide() games during the holiday -season all consumers should 'be immediately aware of the reported problem, pending final outcome of discussions under' way with the industry. As soon as full technical in- formation is , availahle, consumers will be advised immediately. It has heen suggested that in the meantime, . video games should be turned off when not in actual' use, and sets should he adjusted to.law • care km .brjghtness and contrast while vOurselfbeing used with the games. These precautions should be followed with all game and set combinations, at least until full technical in- formation is available. Retention of a dark outline of the game pattern during regular TV viewing is ap- parently a result of a phenomenon • known as "phosphor exhaustion" which normally occurs at an even rate over the entire television screen and is only per- ceptible, if at all, as a very gradual dimming of the total image and can be corrected, by 'Increasing the -brightness setting. Video games, -however, produce a constant outline pattern on the screen so that fading of the picture -tube phosphor does not occur evenly. 'After an extended period of use, there may be a, cumulative effect that ' is noticeable during regular vi,ewing and cannot be corrected except by picture tube replacement. The effect is reportedly more likely to occur with sets that have bee .adjusted to high brightness or contrast during use with a videogame. ' Officials of the department have contacted the Electrical and Electronic , Manufac- turers Association for any further information the in- dustry may be able to provide and to work toward a solution for consumers. They have asked to be advised as soon as possible on the position of both game and set manufacturers regarding warranty and other protection for consumers, In the meantime, although the department 'wants to emphasize that the- in- formation it has is based on use of the g.ames with demonstration sets oVer long periods, it would nevertheless urge consumers to take precautionary measures.
