He’s added educator Dr. Wil liam Cosby to his children’s show and won his boss’ assurance his CBS- TV time slot is as inviolate as Mr. Greenjeans’ green jeans. The good Dr. Cosby — better known to fans of Fat Albert and his gang as comic Bill Cosby — joined Bob Keeshan’s 25-year-old televi sion classic Monday as the funniest teacher ever to take the lectern be fore 25 million children in the 3-to-7 age group. Cosby has the credentials. The “Dr.” title is no joke. He holds a Ph.D. in education from the Univer sity of Massachusetts and long has said he’d rather teach than wring laughter from an audience. In a five-minute “Picturepages” segment on “Captain Kangaroo,” he’ll do both five days a week. The segment is designed to prom ote verbal and conceptual skills of the pre-school through early grade- school audience that traditionally fol lows “Captain Kangaroo.” Cosby will use the time to teach such fundamentals as “behind” as opposed to “in front of’ and “above” as opposed to “below.” Along with the show, viewers can buy a “Picturepages” illustrated booklet published by “Weekly Read er” for $1 per six-week issue. The hitch? It demands parent par ticipation — and it’s not the first effort Keeshan has made in that direction. “We experienced this once before and it was a disaster,” he told repor ters. “We had a terrible time. We couldn’t handle the distribution. But this time Xerox Corp. is doing it for us and they know how. It’s geared to an older person working with a child. Otherwise, it just won’t work. ” Getting children and parents together, even beyond a basic educa tion, is Keeshan’s primary concern. “The program encourages parents to spend time with their children,” he said. “That’s the problem in the nation today — children are a low priority item. We may have de veloped the only species on earth that does not know how to raise its young." Rumors the network’s sm “Morning News” staff covet pansion into his 8 a.m.-l time slot may have hau; Keeshan, but if they did, Cl Network President Jim Ros laid the ghost to rest at (lie conference. “There is no possibility oft! all,” he said. “Ifweexpand,it* done in a way that will noti® with ‘Captain Kangaroo. Hence, the signing of Coslj Like any good teacher, Ci goal for the children he’llbei® ing is graduation. “When they wake up one® | and say, ‘1 can’t stand the map more,’ then I’ll know theyts grown me and graduated andf very good about it,” he said, Hugh Brannum — Keesl career-long sidekick as “Mr. jeans” — may have summedfij best.

The wall behind the front room bar is laden with memorabilia — musical instruments, license plates, old tools, lanterns, a picture of the area’s most famous patriarch, “De vil” Anse Hatfield. In the big back room, red and yel low booths surround a wooden dance floor. Dark comers are stuffed with &iber of ut Geo ley nit it probl* old Wurlitzers, and plastic ques line the walls.
