Need help finding PSA from the 70's

Team BFan.net,

My brothers and I are in search of an old commercial from the 70's. It was a PSA of a little kid walking through a forest and a meadow. The voice over goes something like this:

 

I have a secret place I call the forest. Birds chirp there. Squirrels run there.

 

I have a secret place I call the meadow. butterflies fly there. the sun shines there.

 

(shot of kid watching lumberjacks cutting down trees)

 

Kid: I hope they never find MY secret places!

 

 

I've come across blog postings that reminisce about the commercial but until now no one seems to have been able to find it. If anyone remembers this PSA and who sponsored it (I assume it was the Ad Council but their website has no mention) I'd greatly appreciate it. This is driving us nuts.

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Homer, I do remember that PSA, though sadly I also failed in trying to find it.

 

But one that I did find from that era is Mr. Yuk. . .

 

Mr. Yuk is mean. . .

Mr. Yuk is green!

someone needs to photoshop the mr. yuk in place of the ball in the brewers mb logo and I will just about bust. Greatest proposed avatar ever.

I remember that commercial Homer and I did a search, but came up with nothing. But here are a few great retro sites if you are older and nostalgic like me. The second one is Milwaukee specific - towards the bottom there are a bunch of links to old radio sound bites and other pages of nostalgia.
