Happy Coin collecting needed Home grown celebrities by Dick West Washington up people Magazine reports that America has a shortage of celebrities of sorts. It is estimated that at least two  celebrities have to be produced every Day to keep Pace with the swelling ranks of interview shows and other Calls for Talent. But in 1985 that did t happen and the demand for celebrities outstripped the Supply for the first time in our history people says. Although some talk show producers Are convinced it s All a plot on the part of a Cartel of greedy agents to drive up the Price of celebrities the Magazine proposes several remedies including 0 a Federal regulatory Agency to Monitor celebrity Levels around the country. This Agency using convoys of stretch Limos would allocate celebrity resources where they Are needed  chapters of future celebrities of America could be set up in grammar school and programs in celebrity literacy i.e., How to talk to Joan Rivers instituted in the primary  penalties for celebrity abuse must be made More  1 commend people for calling this problem to our attention. It gives us All something to worry about be sides the Oil glut. Further congratulations Are in order for the periodical s efforts to solve the problem. I must say however that its proposed remedies Don t even come close. If you look around you particularly when a television set is on you will see that any Rise in performance fees was not caused by a Cartel of greedy  rather any celebrity shortage in this country reflects a failure of America s import policies. For too Long we have granted visas to foreign celebrities while allowing our Supply of Home grown stars to dry up. It May already be too late but what clearly is needed Are celebrity import quotas. Also needed is a tax Law change that would encourage celebrity producing areas in this country to develop  and perhaps alternative sources. I m not suggesting an agent could get Rich collecting 10 percent of artificial celebrities. But perhaps since the shortage has International implications we could borrow a Page from the Ocee organization of celebrity exporting countries manual. Ocee appears to have a Large Pool of Good cheap performers ready to do interview shows in America. The danger is that the Domestic Market will become too dependent on imports. Considering the shortage there might not be enough genuine celebrities for a group sing. But maybe some of us non celebrities could Cut a record and raise Money for the cause. I have already composed a song for the occasion. It s called we Are what s left of the  failing that we May have no Choice but to Start put Ting the pictures of missing celebrities on milk Cartons.
