THIS TOWN its entertainment calendar. Some recent conflicts in d *' True, it's not often that

ig. enouzh apparent chaos in scheduling events to produce

two unhappy results:

Ficat, the potential audience for one program often gets divided Into two or three groups. Becond, two or three programs occurring simultaneously aren't likely to get the press coverage their sponsors would like. (Maybe that isn't always an unhappy re suit.) » n n NOTHING is =0 instructive as an entertainment calendar, We used to have one in this departmeht when we were temporarily in a cubby-hole office. On the wall in big =quares on large sheets of paper we had each coming month or two.in black and white. Things always ran in spurts, Weeks would be either very light

or impossibly heavy with programs needing coverage. That's. partly seasonal, of course, like the semi-annual epidemics of piano teachers’ pupil recitals. But there seems to be

a certain evil cunning at work in. the planning of the heavy weeks, It's as if a kind of men-tal-telepathic devil ran through the community mind and persuaded various groups and individuals to schedule things on the same date. er x x = WHEN IT HAPPFENS that way it's a case of Mephistopheles luring all the Fausts to their own destruction. which has plenty of arid stretche& In its entertainment calendar, there's no rational excuse for] crowding.

This could be set up at the start of each season by a committee representing all professional and amateur outfits. The committee would not only plan in advance, but also arbitrate disputes. It eéuld thus prevent what happened here a few years ago when 1t's say Group B scheduled an eyent for a date long previously! aimed by Group A in what I still think was a malicious gesture Inspired by professional ehvy. 2Xou can't stamp out envy, but you can inhibit some of its practical. damage.
