Paper Carriers Are
Expert Statesmen

Atlanta, Ca. June 22,-(P)-Boys
who carry daily newspapers into mil
lions of American homes are expert
statesmen, honest, loyal and do effec-
tive work, the International Circula-
ton Managers association was told
today. Two papers read to the con-
vent;on from Oliver King Of the Re-
public at phoenix, Arizona, and w. J.
Parker, Of the American, Chicago,
said boy carriers did more effective
work than men or women solicitors,
that their work was more effective
and that newspaper subscribers who
patronized the youthful agents re-
ceived better service, kicked less
and--best of all--remained on the
subscription lists.
Two implements Of modern culture
have contributed heavily to the prob
lens Of newspaper circulation, the
managers were told.
The radio gives the country the
news before the newspapers can get
on the streets with it, thus requiring
greater salesmanship, said Charles
Payne, president Of the I. C.. NJ. A.
