By Georgia New York Times News Service NEW YORK Patricia Malarcher was doing her very best not to giggle the other day when a Big Research Outfit telephoned to inquire about the a i television viewing habits. "Do you have more than one television set in your home?" the interviewer asked. No, we have less than one," Mrs. Malarcher said. "Color or black and white?" "Both!" cried Mrs.

Malarcher, giving way to giggles. "We have less than one color Somehow, Ihe Big Research outfit had chanced upon a curiosity in our culture, a representative of that less than five per cent of the population with less than one television set, with no Saturday morning cartoons to amuse the children, no Monday Night Football to before." And so it has been for four years now in the home in Engiewood, N. of Patricia and Willy Malarcher (she's a professional "craftperson," he's an architectural consultant) It's been that way ever since the screen of their portable television set went black never committed ourselves to a and their children, Maura, then aged 10, and Paul, 9, were offered a choice: Either the repairman would fix the set (eventually) or the children could dismember it in the name of education research immediately), a i i a gratification, they cose the latter." Mrs. Malarcher recalled, "and the set ended up with the trash on the curb." Not every American family is as democratic as the Malar- chers, though. A random check An easier way, of course, is not bo buy a television set in the first place.

"Why buy the enemy and bring him into your house?" asked Philip Thacher, a physicist, who lives with his wife, Aija, and children Nara, 8, and Jeffrey 6, in Albuquerque, N.M. As he spoke, the sun was going down behind the Sandia Mountains turning them the color of watermelon which is what "sandia" means in Spanish, In the language of television. Prime Time was coming up. Now everyone knows what happens during Prime Time in 95.5 per cent of the country's 68 million occupied housing units where television sets are present and presumbly glowing, more than 40 per cent of them in color. Perhaps some Big Research outfit should look into what happens in that less than 5 per amuse the fatheres with no idea across the nation by The New cenTwhera in the world that National Ynrk fmmH few A includes 20 mills for Maintenance and Operation, -0- mills for Capital Outlay, and 30 mills for Debt Service which is a i i levy for the i of present in- debtedtiess.

17 of Mississippi County, Arkansas J. W. Meyer, Engineer-Secretary 12-24, 1-2 Answer to Previous Puzzle York Times found that few children played a part in--or even approved of--parental decisions to junk The Tube. Some children did put up an awful fuss, but never mind. Their parents went on disposing of television sets by various means: lack of repair, removal of vital parts, public burnings and shotgun blasts.

Are pianos playing? (Pianos were indeed playing in four of the 10 homes surveyed.) Are children reading again? Reading was certainly right up there with the five children, aged 4 to 16 of Rosemary, and George Lardner in Chevy Chase, Md. "They all read-and they read well. Our 16-year-old Helen has read ever thing, including Henry James" said Mrs. a the wife of a a i a reporter who won't have (he television fixed even for the Redskins' games. Mrs.

Lardner'also noticed that shortly after the death of their television set a year ago children began "talking to each other and working out their problems." With the TV on, it was always an instant remark or reaction," she said. Other families found that lowered antennas raised their horizons: "I couldn't get any work or schoolworkout of the children," said Price Nelson, a Nprlh Bend, Wash. mechanic, recalling days. "My wife, Lela, insisted on watching TV all day, so the house was a mess." Now, says Nelson wilh a smile, his children are making "A's" in shcool, his wife is making money decorating wedding cakes at home, bis while family is "closer" and his neighbors "think we're crazy." Why not keep (he television and regulate the children's viewing" Most parents argued that this tactic was unworkable. The response of Donna Pollard who lives in a Richmond, Va.

lownhouse with her husband John, a truck driver and children John, seven and Veera, five, was typical. "I've seen too many people who think they're censoring material for their kids," she said with a sigh, "it just becomes less and less. M.Sgt. Bill Harrison, (USAF.Ret.)
