Drug-caused diseases and reactions are becoming a health problem of critical proportions because of the overuse of medicines. Apparently, there is a trend towards what might be the "easy way," except many times pills are taken without consul- tation, oftentimes without knowing how medications will interact with each other. As a result, more than 100,000 people die each year from drug -in- duced illnesses,and many more suffer serious reactions.

No Escape
Just hours after two youths robbed a fast food res- taurant and its patrons in Indian River, Michigan, the pair was apprehended by Sault Ste. Marie police. The swift arrest was made possible by a motel owner who had heard an account of the robbery on WWTV /WWUP-TV's Midday Report. Shortly after the newscast, two men checked into his motel. He recognized them as the suspects described on the WWTV/WWUP -TV news. The police were alerted and the two youths were arrested and taken to the Cheboygan County Jail. Accurately reporting the news as soon as it happens is all part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.

AN OPEN LETTER
TO: U. S. TV STATIONS
PGW is dedicated to National Spot Television, sold station -by- station, market -by- market.
National Spot was built in this manner. And your strong Spot future demands individual station sales! Group sales -- "unwired networks" -- inevitably lead to loss of individual station /market identity. Spot rates -- market budgets -- must respond to the "average ".
Build a strong, individual station, and you build a strong, individual market.
Make it work. Sell it this way!
If you agree, and your rep doesn't, call us.
R Meet an editor who gets the most out of our new 1"equipment.
Who is he? Any editor seated in front of a Sony Broadcast BVE -500A Auto- matic Editing Control Unit. It's true that our BVH -1000 1" Video Recorder has a handful of very remarkable editing capa- bilities. That's the big creative advantage of the 1" format. Video editing with a true "film" feeling. But an editor may have his hands full putting those capabili- ties to work. Unless, of course, he works with an editing console built to fulfill the creative potential built into our BVH -1000. And that's the Sony Broadcast BVE -500A. Now wait a minute, you say. Isn't the BVE -500A primarily intended for U -matic editing? Not at all. When we designed the BVE -500A, we gave it specific features to make both 1" and U -matic editing faster, easier, and far more accurate. Then we created a unique Editing Interface Adaptor. The IF -1000. Which opens our BVH -1000 to all our BVE -500A advantages. So the BVE -500A allows automatic control track editing between two BVH -1000 1" record- The BVE -500A performs lamps that flash until edit com- ers. Between two BVU -200A assemble edits.
