As things look now, it is only a matter of time until there just won’t be any place in the world where old-movies and quiz shows will not only fill the air but also interrupt the scenery. Things got kind of desperate even with non-portable television. I knew until a couple of months ago, of a little valley surrounded by high mountains on all sides from which the television pictures are thrown, and it was a pleasant refuge for one who had taken just about as many “funny” panels and girl singers and boy dancers as the system cou:d absorb without vio- lent reaction. Last time I fled to this spot, how- ever, civilization had moved in, Right in the middle of the old ap- |ple orchard there reared, 150 feet into the sky and looking as charm- ing as an oil rig, a tower on which appeared the ubiquitous antennae. The Agony shows, the kiddies’ | hours and the cowboys were in Possession, But now there’s the so-called “portable TV,” designed so that the passionate viewer can have his picture indoors or out, in any room he choses. At the moment, this piece of equipment requires an electric outlet, sv there’s still a chance to fic2 into the deep woods for svrcease. However, somebody’s going to get up something that doesn’t re- quire wiring, and then into the automobile, onto the beach will go the lady wrestlers, the baseball players and the masters of cere- monies. I believe some farsighted com- munities already have taken stens to outlaw television sets in the front seats of automobiles, on the theory that a fellow just can’t wateh his favorite whodunit and grade crossings at the same time. This would not necessarily ap- Ply, however, to *” rear seat television people will souw we . - vocating tonneau-TV as an antidote to backseat driving. There was a time when an old- fashioned piece of equipment ca'l- ed the portable radio first came out and some folks took to carry- ing it around with them into public restaurants, trains and even to the baseball games, so they could find out what was happening on the diamond in front of them. I envision the day, not far off, when the average Dodger fan will show up at Ebbet’s Field laden with his portable TV, able to watch and those in -ome other game played far away. es! This is u. the forward march of civilization and is inevitable. The only thing I can’t understand — although I deplore the whole thing — is why anyone wants to carry a TV set with him outdoors — summer TV Programs being what they are.— AP Newsfeatures. | SIGSBEE COUNCIL 'TO MEET TONIGHT | The Sigsbee Park Community Monday, September 27, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 The local council of the Knights of Columbus was organized last year and one of the first events sponsored by the group was last year’s Columbus Day ball. The dance proved to be one of the most enjoyable of the season and according to Grand Knight Louis (Bill) Fradette, this second annual affair will be “bigger and better.” “The Knights hope each year to enlarge and better this dance and get the winter season started with a grand ball in the hope that it will help the season to be a happy and prosperous one for the entire city of Key West,” he said. Topping the long list of prizes to be awarded during intermission is the room air conditioner. In the event of rain or incle- ment weather, plans have been made to hold the dance inside, the hotel. The dance committee is headed by Grand Knight Fradette; tickets and planning, Vic Davis, Bud Dion, Bob Van Eepoel; advertising, pub- licity, Fred Basom. Other members of the committee are James Anderson, Eugenio Mar- tinez, Ignatius Lester and Eugene Halpin.
