You get the feeling theyre trying to salvage a bad, expensive project with massive puffery. But our suspicions were wrong in the case of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, a two-hour drama CBS-TV is broadcasting tonight. This is a fine show and you ought to see it.

The story of the proud, spunky woman she plays is told through a simple, effective device memories recalled in her age-cracked voice for an eager-to-please young white reporter from the North, sent by his magazine to profile the life of this former slave woman. The reporter Michael Murphy arrives at a time black activists, called agitators on the local radio, are seeking Miss Janes support the opening wave of civil rights demonstrations that swept the South in the early 1960s. Do you remember getting your freedom? he gently asks her. It sets the stage for a unique for whites history lesson about 97 years of terror and kindness, hatred and love, pride and frightened servility, brave intelligence and white-robed ignorance. Call it the black experience if ytn will.

By whatever title, this is a superb drama flawed only occasionally by snatches wf hokey dialtgne in some segments dealing with the present The acting is uniformly good, with particularly fine efforts by young Valerie ODell, who plays Miss Jane as a child; Rod Perry, cast as Joe Pittman, her first husband, and Thalmus Rasul ala, who portrays a black educator and former soldier Miss Jane has known from childhood. As for Miss Tysn well, she didnt get the Academy Award for her movie, but if she doesn't get an Emmy (or this performance theres something extremely wrong in the television world.

Family Day Care Plan Is Extended A new concept in day care is being extended by the First Congregational Day Care Center, 1609 University Ave. The program, known as family day care, is aimed at assuring that child care in homes will be safe and stimulating. The first program of its type in Dane County, the Fust Congregational family day care service will strive to accommodate children not served in group centers, through the development of a system of homes, with trained care-givers providing a high quality educational program.
