HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1960-06-09, Page 7How A Tennis. Champion Started I walked out to the back room just after my family moved into our new house. A three-year-old, X was naturally excited about ebifting from one house to. an- other. I wanted to look around. Somehow I propped myself up on the bench at the window and, With my head barely showing over the ledge, looked out. There Were grownups playing a Orange game out in the sun on 'die four courts at the back of the new house. My parents claim X was fascinated and kept point- ing at the players, and I sup- pose I was puzzled by that cream -colored ball and those things in the players' hands. That was the first time I be- came aware of the game of ten- nis, Whenever I thought of it, I returned to the seat by the win - dew, peered through, and tried to work out what it was all about, .. , We all played in the traffic out In the front street with our billy - carts, made from old grocery ntore crates with ball -bearings for wheels. One year, during the nchool holidays, my mother got a bit worried about this and, to keep me off the street, took me to the courts in back to play tennis. Although I was just past five at the time and hadn't found out much from watching the players from the window . my mother says I rarely had a racket out of my hand for seven gears after that. At the start, I played with an old racket people used to call any "onion bag," which a law- er from a local social club gave me. It was strung loosely be- cause, as all boys do, I gave it pretty rough wear. Worn out and battered, with the paint peeling off, it's still somewhere in the basement at Wigham Road. Every morning I got up around five and used my "onion bag" to hit a ball against our garage door in the lane out- side the court. Mum got com- plaints from the neighbors about the noise I made so early in the day. I practiced barefoot on the asphalt court because I played so much I would have worn out my canvas shoes too fast. My feet had been hardened by play- ing in the street. My family couldn't afford to get me a new racket, for even at about half of today's cost, they were still expensive for an aver- age family. A year or so after I started with the "anion bag," they bought me a new racket for Christmas, but they had to jug- gle a bit with the housekeeping money to manage it. Because the war was on and there were few adults about to play tennis with, my mother took up the game just to give me the opportunity to practice. She taught me how to score, and we played a few games together. None of the boys my age played tennis, and I began to run around with people a few years older than myself. — From "The Lew Hoed Story," by Lew Hoad with Jack Pollard. SHOT BY VANITY At a hospital bed in Havana, Cuba, a policewoman was ques- tioned by her superior as to how she was shot. It happened when she reached into her bag for her powder, com- pact. As she sorted over the con- tents of her bag in search of the compact, she accidentally discharged a small automatic kept in her purse, and the but - lel entered her chest, REGAL SPORT — Tanned Princess Blrg•Ilia of Sweden, 23, takes a break during a fencing match in Stockholm, TV Violence Shocks Britons Protests on the excess of viol- lence in TV entertainment are mounting from every part of the country. A group of Glasgow magistrates has demanded tele- vision censorship. The Scottish Housewives' Association h a s made strong representations on the subject, The Warwickshire Federation of Women's Institutes has passed a resolution condemn- ing TV horror. Questions have been asked in the House. Violence is, of Bourse, inesca- pable in any entertainment which sets out to portray life, and in reasonable doses it is ac- ceptable. sceptable, But TV gives too much at it. - I have before ole a typical week's television programmes. On Sunday: an "Interpol" story starting out with the discovery of the body of a murdered girl, On Monday: an episode in the current private eye series "Philip Marlowe" on the B.B.C. Not be - fare time the B.B.C. has banned two episodes in this series. Tuesday: a play hinging on a cold-blooded killing—and one of the usual Western Gunfight sagas. Wednesday: a story of a woman who stabs her husband. Thursday: a piece about a killer waiting to murder a visiting VIP. Friday: at 5.15 (children's viewing time), a Western deal- ing with blackmail and bank robbery and, later, a "Gun Law" episode in which a notorious killer is out for revenge, Saturday: a "Four Just Men" story about the planned murder of a princess, and also a "Dial 509" episode about an interna- tional crook who commits mur- der in Britain. "Light relief" on the alternative channel brings vit.wers still another Western with ruthless outlaws terrorizing a town. A violence code has been is- sued by the B.B.C. in an attempt at a "cleanup"—but much of it is half-hearted. For instance, in a section giving tips to the pro- ducers of children's programmes the following advice is given. A choice of weapons in fight se- quences is important. Coshes, knives, whips and bottles are more "suspect" than revolvers WHERE THE BARN WAS — A homeless goat wanders amid Rabble left by a tornado that swept through Wilburton, Okla. or swords. The reason: they are more easily available! We don't argue that a clean shot through the heart from a Colt .45 is pre- ferable to a bottle smashed across the face—but need child viewers suffer either? Much of such vicious enter- tainment comes from America, or is American -inspired, and this American stranglehold must be broken. Many filmed series made here are aimed for the American market, the policies often dicta- ated by the American TV chiefs, and many of the scripts written in America. If the Americans want lurid sensationism, and we want to provide It for them, then our TV film producers must adopt the same policy as the maker's of cinema feature films, who shoot different versions for home and overseas markets. The extra ex- pense is negligible. We do not want gun -crazy kids imperilling society as in the U.S.A. today. Sickening sensationalism is in- finitely more serious on TV than in the cinema. Say what you will about parental authority, or the lack of it, children do stay up to see programs, and the repetition of violence has a hypnotic effect.. Children are being brought up to believe that gun -play, stran- gulation and stabbing are com- monplace, that physical violence is part of everyday life. One prominent TV, star told me, frankly: "I've refused to ap- pear in several of the stories planned for me, Yau can't get good stories unless you get good writers, and you can't get good writers unless you are willing to pay them well. Television is too cheeseparing. The result is weak stories which can be kept going only by one 'fight after an- other." As we have said, entertain- ment for adults is one thing, but young children should not have vicious violence pictorially avail- able in their own hones at the touoh of an off -on switch. Let us have excitement, thrills and suspense by all means. But unnecessary violence and bru- tality must go, From "Tit - Bits." How Can 1? By Roberta Lee Q. How can 1 remedy gloves whose fingers are a little too tight? A. Insert a clean, cold curling iron into each finger. Open the iron slightly to stretch gently, pulling the iron out slowly at the same time to avoid "fan" shaping of the fingertips of the gloves. Q.
