They're Talking About Us!

There is one television show we intend to see this season even if we miss all the rest. And that is "Smalltown” which will be aired over the NBC network on Friday, September 18, at 10:00-11:00 p.m. EST. We think our readers will want to see it too. This NBC "Special Project" will deal with what it classifies as: —-“Dream Town” - picture postcard of prosperity, abundance and contentment, but not "all it seems." —"Strip Towns" - usually a collection of villages along an umbilical main highway that brings travellers from the cities and local farm boys to its clip joints. —"Dying Towns" - bleak and boarded up. its people bleak and defeated. —"Trailer Cities” - which offer "economic survival at the expense of cultural heritage" to migrant workers and retirees; and. finally, the —"Suicide Towns” - that refuse in their current prosperity to look on the face of approaching doom. This documentary is narrated with sympathy, even tenderness, bv one-time small town boy, Fredric March, who says in his opening remarks: “Half a century separates these small towns as they were in my day from what they are today. There is a way of life in them: it has been called grass roots, a cultural

heritage, that IS America. Some disagree, and in this Space Age, they insist there is no time, no need for our traditional, basic decencies. It is these people who feel that our democratic ideal is old-fashioned.” His eulogy, in short, is elegy: "How lovely it was," he says. "But, was it really as we remember it?" he asks. "Perhaps not.” But perhaps so! We are not about to admit that our town is no longer lovely, that the day is gone "when all the faces on the street were familiar and so many were friendly.” Nor, by the same token, will we insist there is no room for improvement. Perhaps our town is an exception. But to grant that is to say that America is no longer America. More rational, we think, is the view that our nation. born in travail, must live in travail, will only die when all of us - in cities, in towns, and in the country - cease to struggle for our security and our freedom. Change has come faster and Taster. It has brought dislocations and ugliness with it - to small town and big. And. if we are any judge, small town people - who are self-reliant Americans - have taken it in far better stride. Watch “Smalltown.” Accept its warnings. But judge our town for yourself.
