DON'T look for the likes of ''Dallas'' or ''Dynasty'' on Channel 39. The cable-television station is given over to more-important matters involving Freehold Township, such as high school sports, taxes, school closings and local elections. People who cannot attend a community meeting can do the next best thing: watch the playback of it on Channel 39. The station is run by teen-agers as a news and information service for this 38-square-mile Monmouth County community of 20,000.

A company spokesman said Miss Freeman could not come to terms with the cable service.

IS TV UNPATRIOTIC OR SIMPLY UNMINDFUL?

Date: 12 May 1985

By John Corry

This is the charge: that the television networks are left, liberal, unpatriotic, or a sebaceous mixture of all three. CBS is the usual target, although ample censure is left over for NBC and ABC. Didn't Ted Turner say that ''the greatest enemies America has ever had, posing a greater threat to our way of life than Nazi Germany or Tojo's Japan, are the three television networks''? Didn't Senator Jesse Helms speak about network people who, ''if they do not hate America first, certainly have a smug contempt for American ideals and principles''? Censure grows; fervor rises, while the networks, for the most part, stand on their injured dignity. In fact, the argument is too serious to be left to partisans of either side. For one thing, we are a long way from the time when Walter Cronkite, say, or Chet Huntley narrated documentaries produced by the Pentagon. Television's old assumptions have fled. We once heard about the ''Communist menace'' routinely. Now television is above that sort of thing. It is no longer national; it is supranational. Last week it commemorated the 40th anniversary of VE-Day; the week before that it commemorated the 10th anniversary of the fall of Saigon. The first was an American victory, the second an American defeat. The networks march on evenhandedly. Hanoi today, the Bitburg cemetery tomorrow, and if it's Tuesday we must be in Johannesburg.

HONORING A 'ONE-MAN SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM'

Date: 12 May 1985

Bylawrence Gelder

AT a time of year when many students are eager to put distance between themselves and their teachers, there is one group of students happily anticipating a reunion with their professor. They are the members of the City College Communications Alumni Association, and they are eagerly anticipating Thursday night, when they will be reunited with - and will honor -the teacher who has done so much to influence their lives. He is Irving Rosenthal of Great Neck, professor emeritus of English at City College, sometimes known as the ''one-man school of journalism.'' When his alumni - some 250 to 300 of the 8,000 students he estimates he has taught - gather for their 10th annual reunion at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in Manhattan, they will do more than renew old aquaintances or exchange reminiscences with the 72-year-old Professor Rosenthal.

STUDY TAKES ISSUE WITH PRETORIA'S PUBLICITY DRIVE

Date: 12 May 1985

Special to the New York Times

An analysis of South Africa's effort to influence world opinion says almost all of it is aimed at Britain and the United States and is designed to promote a false image of stability and reform. The report, written by Donald Woods, an outspoken critic of the South African Government and its apartheid policy, will be the subject of a three-day conference for members of news organizations beginning here Monday under the auspices of the Secretariat of the Commonwealth nations and the United Nations Special Committee Against Apartheid. Roland Darroll, press attache for the South African Embassy here, said when asked about the report, ''If our aims are as alleged, to promote an image of reform and stability and to underplay the level of black resistance, we're not doing very well, because anybody who's in Britain or America is perfectly aware of the difficulties which are currently taking place in South Africa.''

POLE SAYS U.S. SPONSORS SUBVERSION

Date: 11 May 1985

The Interior Minister, in a speech to Parliament assessing the state of public order, today accused the secret services of the United States and other Western countries of sponsoring political subversion in Poland. Scarcely two hours after two United States diplomats left Warsaw under expulsion after having been accused of taking part in an illegal May Day procession, the Interior Minister, Gen. Czeslaw Kiszczak, sought to portray Poland's political dissidents as ''fanatics'' or ''confused'' foils of foreign interests, notably American. His speech, which accused Washington of using diplomats, students, reporters, tourists and Polish emigres for spying, constituted the sharpest in a series of Polish attacks on the United States that have increased in the two weeks since Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, met here with Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the Polish leader. [In Washington, the State Department had no immediate formal comment on General Kiszczak's speech, but department officials called his accusations of American espionage activities ''outrageous.''] General Kiszczak, who has long courted the reputation of a political liberal, said, ''Threats to key political, economic and defensive interests have been aggravated in accordance with guidelines laid down by Western, especially American, security services.''

WITH an artist's representation of the face of Jesus and the message ''If you're thinking of spending the rest of your life with Him, spend several months with us,'' the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York began a Madison Avenue ad campaign in September to attract men to the dwindling ranks of the priesthood. The promotion, prepared without charge by Doyle Dane Bernbach, directed applicants to the John Neumann Residence, and it has helped create there ''the busiest year ever for interviewing and accepting candidates,'' according to the institution's director, the Rev. John P. McIvor.
