THE AGE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1957 ar OLYMPIC OFFICIALS IN SURVEYS WILL FIND Leisure on Lake at Emerald LIST Other OF HONORS Awards Cover TV EFFECT ON CHILDREN ALBURY, Monday. Special survey committees have been set up by the Australian Broadcasting Control Board in Melbourne and Sydney to study early television programmes for children. The director of A.B.C. youth education, Mr. Charles Bull, announced this at the Council of Adult Education summer school today.

Fields Many MEMBERS of the Olympic Organising Committee are honored by the Queen in the New Year's Hon-ors List for their part in the successful planning and staging of the Games. In addition to the knighthood conferred on the chairman of the committee (Sir Wilfrid Kent Hughes), six other members are created Commanders of the Order of the British Empire. mmm 3 i w- "KSS-- mi i.i mi i WTiitmSitKamaM'mmi for years, and then only in the city schools, therefore a high standard of school broadcasts had to be main-talned. Mr. Bull aaid minority audiences whloh received merely token attention in the United State, could ba assured of the same consideration on Australian television as they wen given by radio.

By minority audiences ha meant groups of women, schools, farmers and various culturally minded portions of the Education "Television is a potent means of education and may be of more use ultimately than radio and even tha printed word," Mr. Bull said. "Only the great mobility of the printed word has given it precedence in this century. Printed publications are not as sound and solid as they have been in tha past." Radio, he continued, would remain supreme for the broadcast of classical music, poetry reading and programmes of a similar nature. No other country could mateh the conditions under which radio and TV were related In Australia, Mr.

Bull said. He said the com mittees had these two main alms: To observe to wbat extent children were seeing the TV programmes which were specially prepared for them and to note their reaction To try to discover exactly how people were using their television sets in the early stages of transmission. "Children begin to take an Interest in television at the early age of three, whereas they do not come under the Influence of radio Mr. Bull said. "Television in the home requires discipline.

Mr. Bull gave this excuse for parents to offer children: "Tell them this is a very expensive instrument that does not last for ever and cannot be used all the time. Therefore, they must make up their minds about what programmes they favor." Eyesight Parents need not worry about children's eyesight, Mr. Bull said. There seemed little effect from watching television.

Message Upsets Union SYDNEY, Monday. A message by the Postmaster-General (Mr. C. W. Davidson) to Australian postal employes could precipitate a nation wide "work to regulations" strike, the State secretary of the Postal Workers' Union (Mr.

J. N. Lynch) said tonight. LAZILY FLOATING away leisure moments holiday scene yesterday on the cool waters of the lake at Emerald. Deaths Every Day on Roads in '56 Victoria has con cluded Its most tragic year on the roads.

In the closing hours of 1956, three people died, bringing the year's total to 589 two deaths above the 1953 record. The deaths also equalled the Christmas-New Year holiday toll of 22 fatalities In 1953. This record, however, ap pears likely to be broken when the full grim story of the roads is told. At Moe lost night a 91-year-old man lost his life when the panel van in which he was a passenger ran off William Grove Road and struck a tree. He was Neville Charles Skill, who died within a few yards of his home.

Earlier yesterday a youth received fatal injuries when his motor cycle collided with a car on the Goulburn Valley Highway, near Murchlson East.

An unidentified woman was also killed when she was struck by a car in Beach Road, Middle Park. send out such a message at this time of the year. "The message was roundly booed by G.P.O.

workers when they received it. Conference "The Federal executive of the union, meeting in Sydney on January 14, doubtless will discuss Mr. Davidson's 'goodwill "I will recommend to the N.S.W. executive thait die union's 12,000 members in N.S.W. be asked to contribute a voluntary levy of 10 each to help finance an A.L.P.

candidate to run against Mr. Davidson in the next Federal elections." Mr. Davidson is Country party M.P. for Dawson, around Mackay, in Dr. Booth Retires as Archbishop Melbourne's fourth archbishop, Most Rev.

Dr. Joseph John Booth, has now retired from office. His resignation took effect from midnight last night. Dr. Booth Is now archbishop administrator of the diocese, and will continue to act until his successor is appointed.

With Dr. Booth's resignation the board elected by the diocesan synod to appoint a successor, came into existence at midnight. It will now meet to con sider an appointment. This may take months, or even a year, though that is not likely. Until the appointment, Dr, Booth will continue to aot In his usual capacity of archbishop.

Dr. Booth, who reached the retiring age of 70 in the year just closet, was elected and enthroned Archbishop of Melbourne in 1942. He was ordained In 1914. For his services as chap-Iain to the A.I.F. in the Middle East during World War I he was decorated with the Military Cross, and he again served in the second world war.

In 1954 he was awarded the C.M.G. Since the diocese of Mel bourne was founded in 1847 it has had four bishops and four archbishops. The fourth bishop and first archbishop was Most Rev. Henry Lowther Clarke, who was followed by Archbishop Harrington Clare Lees and then Archbishop Frederick Waldegrave Head after whose death in 1943 Dr. Booth was appointed to the archbishopric.

A Qantas pilot who flew from Fiji said the smoke haze from bush fires burning along the N.S.W. coast could be seen as far as 600 miles off shore. Sydney sweltered in one of the most uncomfortable days this summer. The maximum temperature of 87 deg. did not Indicate the exceptional discomfort of the day, caused by a hot westerly and high humidity.

Thousands of acres of forest country were destroyed by extensive bush fires which spread over wide areas on the Blue Mountains, south coast, northern districts, and outer suburban areas of Sydney. For the first time ever a thick smoke haze blanketed Mascot aerodrome so thickly that Incoming planes were forced to make instrument landings. Hundreds of Are fighters who had waged a losing battle against scores of big fires were out again today burning breaks and beating out the advancing flames. No Rain On the south coast, towns recorded 101 including Milton, for the second time in three days. The whole of the western Mr.

Davidson sent out the message in the form of a personal letter to all Post Office employes. Sydney GP.O. employes received it last Thursday. The message outlined what. Mr.

Davidson described as' employes'' "rights and responsibilities as public servants." It warned that the Federal Government would maintain vital services if an attempt were made to dislocate Post Office services. Mr. Davidson said he felt that many employes involved in a recent nationwide "regulations strike" had "leapt before they looked." Offence He said it was an offence under the Public Service Act to foment or take part in a strike which interfered with any Commonwealth service. The penalty for this was dismissal and forfeiture of privileges such as sick leave, furlough rights and superannuation. Reappointment was not legally permissable and there was no right of appeal against the penalty.
