Movie tells of an episode in the stormy first marriage of the famous mystery writer in which she put on a disguise and went to a resort where she suspected her husband was having an affair with another woman. Movie will turn fiction and end up the type of murder mystery so dear to the heart of Agatha. FRANCES McLAUGHLIN-GILL's photos and SUE CASTLE's text explore the many ways that children communicate in their "Face Talk, Hand Talk, Body Talk," (Doubleday). It is the first book for children on the subject of body language.

The pictures and the words merge book captures the expression of feelings that are taken for granted, but often pass before they are really understood. It will beguile any child past the age of 3. (UPI Telephoto) An academy award-winning documentary and segments from at least a dozen films and programs about today's men and women, are all part of a special public TV series to be broadcast statewide during WOMANKIND Week, June 20-26. Designed to reach out and involve both women and men throughout the Commonwealth, tile series of three one-hour programs will supplement the issues and actions of WOMANKIND, the Pennsylvania women's meeting to be held June 24-26 at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. The programs will be shown locally on WITF-TV, Channel 33, a member station of the Pennsylvania Public Tele vision Network.

Produced by WITF-TV in Hershey, the series will look at today's lifestyles and the roles that restrict both men and women. It will also feature today's women: those who have survived by coping and those who have broken out of restrictive molds. "The programs show all kinds of ordinary people who choose to lead extra-ordinarily satisfying and useful lives," an- nounced producers Anne Stanaway and Kay Walker. "Women have many reasons to feel good about themselves. We hope that these programs will help women and men to view themselves more positively," they added.

The WOMANKIND series includes: ABOUT: a look at the pressures of growing up male in America from the academy award- Single Lifestyle Viewed As Acceptable The traditional lifestyle for people in the United States was to grow up, get married, and then settle down and have children. But attitudes, opinions, and lifestyles change and many married couples for a variety of reasons are deciding not to have children. And many people are deciding not to get married at all. How do American women view the and who remain single? In the most recent nationwide survey conducted by Women- Poll, a random probability sample of 1,031 adult females from all SO states was asked: Do you think that there is anything wrong with a woman who doesn't get married? and Do you think there is anything wrong with a man who doesn't get married? Considering the dominant role that traditional marriage still retains in America, despite the proliferation of alternative modes of living, there is a surprisingly high acceptance of women and men who choose to remain single. Ninety-five per cent of the respondents interviewed by Women- Poll said that there was nothing wrong with a woman who did not get married.

And 93 per cent found no fault with a man who remained single. There were little differences in the statistics on these two questions among women who were single, married, or previously married.

Viewpoint quite satisfied as a wife. But for many people, including some of my friends who have been married longer than I have, they would be a lot better off single.

That's why I can completely accept a person who does not want to get married." For Caroline a 25-year-old in Philadelphia, the WomenPoll question was quite personal. "I am not married now and I probably will not ever get married. Why should Why should I get into a situation that I don't think is suitable to me, especially when I am happy and satisfied with my life now. I don't want a change." "But," she added, "just try and explain that to my mother and my aunt." When the survey results on these questions were correlated with the part of the country (East, Midwest, South, and West) in which the respondent lived; working status; whether or not there were children living at home; and age, there were little differences in opinion. However, among women who did not know their total family income, there was less acceptance of a single person than among the women (of all income groups) who did know how much money was made in their family.

And among the respondents interviewed who expressed no preference at all for any particular religion, the acceptance of a single lifestyle for both women and men was just about unanimous. Although American women indicated their acceptance of people who do wish to remain single, there is a strong feeling that once a person gets married, it's a life-long commitment. In an earlier WomenPoll survey, the questions was asked whether or not marriage should be a renewable contract, just like a lease, every year or every three or five years. More than three out of four of the respondents in that 78 per cent of what was also a national random probability sample of over 1,000 women said that marriage should not be on a renewable basis.

Births Liberation Is For Women And For Men "Women's Lib" has been the rallying cry for nearly a decade now. Men are responding, no longer with derision, but with the honest question, "What about Men's Liberation?" If women believe that they have been taught to act one way, they must know that men have been instructed; just as strictly, how to behave to complement that role. Men's lives are societally prescribed to the same extent as women's lives- even if the prescription is a bit different.

Women say they are bewildered by the new demands being placed upon them. But men are faced with the same changing signals. The first program in the WOMANKIND series to be aired next week features the film, "Men's Lives." Possibly the most thoughtful and comprehensive portion of the series, this program examines the conditioning that men receive and how it affects their attitude toward women. Very few women can afford to be indifferent to men. They are fathers, sons, lovers, friends to women and their attitudes about women are reflected in interaction with them.

'Men's Lives'' is about Men's Liberation, if you want to call it that. And men's liberation is women's liberation too, just as Women's Lib is the liberation of men. For what this liberation really means is change. It means allowance for flexibility. So as women's roles have changed, have become more nebulous, so have men's roles.

The two are bound together. There's a new word for it: Human Liberation. No man or woman should be barred from expressing any of the range of human qualities that comprise the individual personality. No labeling, "masculine," "feminine," is necessary to accept the traits in man or woman. Also, no woman or man should be restricted from doing that which she or he is capable of doing.

We don't need a WOMANKIND week so much as we need a HUMANKIND week, but if the latter is envisioned and promulgated by females, if women, acting must take the lead in human liberation, then one supposes they may have the honor of naming the effort after themselves. Home Insulation Program Slated Most folks are still recovering from extra high heating costs caused by last winter's extra cold weather and increased fuel costs. While the memory is fresh in your mind, start thinking of ways you can get your house buttoned up for next winter. Do it now before shortages in materials occur. The Lebanon Valley Energy Management Council will sponsor a special program for consumers "Home Insulation Do It Yourself?" to be held on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

in Room 12 of the Lebanon Municipal Building at 400 S. Eighth St. The program is designed to help homeowners learn the facts about home insulation. According to Alletta Schadler, program moderator, the information will be presented by Kate McBride and Barry Krum, representatives of insulation manufacturing firms. The program will include answers to the following questions.

Where should you insulate an existing home? If you have limited dollars to spend on insulation, where will the insulation do the most good and save the most money? Why is ventilation important in an attic? Shouldn't it al- ways be closed? What can I do with solid brick or stone walls? I already have 4 inches of insulation in the I add more? What does factor mean? How can you tell which insulation is most efficient? What are the advantages and disadvantages of cellulose, fiberglass, mineral wool, foams? Can I do it myself? What skills do I need? Where can I get equipment to do the job? How should I shop for a contractor? Following the presentations, there will be demonstrations of how to install insulation including batts, loose fibers, boards and foams. The meeting ia free of charge and open to everyone. It will be of interest to men and women. There will be opportunitites to ask questions. For more information contact Mrs.

Schadler (273-3748) or the Chamber of Commerce..
