A convention is a great show, and ABC-TV's abbreviated coverage just doesn't capture the total flavor of the gavel-to-gavel reporting of CBS-TV and NBC-TV. In his convention speech Monday, Democratic Party Chairman Lawrence O'Brien, with the aid of colorful film clips, noted the change in the kind of delegates.

There was time to go into this in the early going Monday evening, belore tne expecieu battle over seating of delegates broke out in full. Pictorially, skies should prevail elsewhere.

To Record Sea Level Elevations The mean sea level elevation of many city intersections will be measured and recorded with permanent markers in a new 3-year program of the Columbus city engineering department. David Eason, manager of field operations, said the work began Friday at the intersection of Marr and Middle roads.

A nearby U.S. Coastal and Geodetic Survey elevation mark was used for reference. The CGS markings also will be used in figuring the elevation of other city intersections. Mr. Eason said the new city markings will be valuable to the city for future construction projects.

The work will be done largely on "rainy" days when other more immediate department projects are slowed, he said.

4.98 Albums start at 1 () Low By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-Televi sion did its customary good job covering the opening of the Democratic convention Monday, but did anyone recall the enormously significant story it could have updated and didn't? It is quite a tale. It is the still-unended story that began four years ago at the violence- punctuated Democratic conven tion in Chicago, during and after which people who claimed to represent the so-called 'silent majority" began to attack network coverage, and haven't let up. You will recall that many persons were furious at the attention the networks gave the dissenters at the Chicago' mess, although television was simply covering the whole story and brilliantly, when the violence broke out, many viewers seemed upset that video trained its cameras on it, as though the bearer of bad tidings were guilty of the event itself. Critical Situation At any rate, this disaffection with television by some of the public was just the start of what has become a critical situation for video. If there had not been this public upset, for instance, Vice President Agnew would surely have not caused such a sensation with his criticism of network news.

Much similar criticism was launched against the networks, capitalizing on the undoubted anger of segments of the audience. There is still a feeling in certain media quarters that this hangover of disaffection, plus the avalanche of bad news for so long from Vietnam and elsewhere, has created virtually an anti-news syndrome among many viewers With them, the medium is indeed the message. If television shows bad news, then television is bad news, and better to just tune out. But, in great part because of the anti-video-news feeling, television came up with at least one significant alteration that is sweeping the nation's home screens and that is the sud denly increased attention being paid to so-called "good news," not a bad idea in itself.

I am stunned. My wife went to another state to attend our great-granddaughter's graduation.

I told her I'd stay home and keep myself busy dating some of the lonely widows in our church. She said it was okay with her. Well, I called one up and asked her for a dinner date, and she said yes. The next morning she telephoned so early she woke me up to say she had changed her mind, and what kind of woman did I think she was, anyway? Abby, she is a member of our Sisterhood, and I am a member of the Brotherhood, and there is certainly nothing wrong with a brother taking a sister out for dinner, is there? She sounded scared to death! And at my age yet. I am over 80.

I honestly wish she had something to be afraid of. I assure you she hasn't. She nor anybody else. REBUKED IN SUN CITY DEAR REBUKED: Never mind you. How old is SHE? DEAR ABBY: My name is Annie and I am 12 years old.

My mother died when I was eight, and I had no daddy either. No one wanted to give me a home, not a soul, except one lady who came to my mother's funeral. She was very nice to me and asked me to come and hve with her. I stayed with her for a year, and she treated me very mean. I had to wash clothes at night, and take care of six littler kids all day.

If I complained, she beat me with a leather strap. Once she got me ready to send me to an orphans' home, but I heard it was like a jail there so I got down on my hands and knees and begged her to keep me and raise me, so she let me stay. This lady kept me out of school so much to help with the other kids, my teacher sent for her and said if I was absent one more time she would have to hold me back, so this lady said, "Leave her back," then she purposely made me stay home from school again, and now the teacher is going to leave me back. Oh, Abby, by the help of the Lord Almighty, I don't know what I am going to do now. Please tell your readers if their mother and father die, don't pick the person who pretends to be the best person at the funeral to live with or else they will end up being treated like a dog.

What shall I do? ANNIE DEAR ANNIE: I want to help you, but you did not sign your last name, neither did you give me an address. No child has to be treated like a dog. Please tell me how to get In touch with you. DEAR ABBY: While reading "DEAR ABBY" I came across the letter from NOT SO DUMB, who puts all her "white elephant" gifts in a box and gives them to others on gift-giving occasions. Last Christmas, Abby, something very nice happened around our office.

One of the girls heard of a sorority that collected body powder, colognes, wallets, scarves wrong color things that people had received as gifts and couldn't use or didn't want. This sorority distributed these items to rest homes for the older residents who were forgotten by friends and family. The recipients LOVED each gift. Nice idea? HAPPY DONOR DEAR DONOR: Nicer than nice! I hope it's contagious. DEAR ABBY: I have a beaut of a squelcher for people who ask me, "How come you aren't married?" I reply, "I'm just lucky, I guess." That stops them cold! SINGLE BY CHOICE By United Press International A cloud cover disappointed some scientists during Mon day's total eclipse of the sun, but for the man in the street and Mrs.

Douglas Greening's cows, the momentary phen omenon meant very little. The eclipse occurred as the moon passed between the earth and the sun, casting a shadow of complete darkness in a thin Line from Sakhalin Island north of Japan across Alaska and Canada. The phenomenon lasted for two hours and 13 minutes, beginning at 3:22 pm tut in the Orient and fading out at 5:45 EDT in the Atlantic. Scientists who had set up their projects on Stanhope Beach on Prince Edward Island, in the direct path of the total eclipse, were disappointed when a last-minute cloud cover moved in and obstructed many of their experiments. "We got lots of pictures, but the cloudiness certainly affected the more sensitive of the projects." said Dr.

Donald H. Menzel, director of solar expedition for educational expedition international. Mrs. Greening reported the cows on her farm in Swastika, about 250 miles south of James Bay, were oblivious to the monetary darkness. "They were real calm, just chewing their cuds as usual," Mrs.

Greening said. "Really I didn't notice anything. It was very cloudy. You couldn't see anything maybe that was it." Colin Campbell, a reporter for Radio Station CJCH in Halifax, Nova Scotia, reported the temperature there dropped as much as 15 degrees and birds began singing their bedtime song and heading for their nests in flocks as the grayish purple darkness moved over the area. In Fairbanks, Alaska the sun was reduced to a crescent and its light faded as though it were about to set.

Townspeople watched the phenomenon in perfect clear weather through layers of exposed film. CINEMA MON. thruTHURS. 8:00 FRI SAT. SUN.

SIX MEN OUT OF HELL. THESE ARE THE REVEIJ8EBS Lib WIOJAMHOLDEN ERNEST BOAOMTC WOOOY STRODE SUSAN HAVVWRD IjjjCOluMlUS rm 00- SAT SKI 11 0M mm REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) -The Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess match can begin Fischer's favorite chair has arrived. Ph. 379-4419 The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously.

Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? would look better if bot! Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $230,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby.

It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games today. "Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday.

Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones. Arnlaugsson. who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes.

Schmid said he would return Thursday Marshall Combs Rites Funeral services were conducted Saturday at the Hathaway-Myers funeral home by the Rev. Bert J.
