grand festival is being partici-
pated In by all the people. An i'm
mense parade of the military. sporting
youth and veterans organizations will
march past the new City Hall. recently
erected and opened in honor of the oc-
uasion. 1t will also be great time for
the school children and the police, as
participants. witnesses and supervisors.
However. little trouble is anticipated.
as the whole affair will be in charge of
Oberstleutnant Uieut. COLI Bush, who
well knows how to handle such mat
tiers.
Spandau does not claim to be any
older than the world! Only about the
same age! However, the last TOO years
are all that they have kept any de-
tailed record Of. since most of the more
important events fall within that epoch
This is besides particularly suitable
occasion for the mems choruses to ex-
ercise their voices in unison, formally
and informally. There Is also likely to
eff key.
A feature of the celebration will be
the renewal of Spandaus troth to Ber-
lin. That Berlin were always as loyal
to Spandau is to be the pathetic re-

Though old, Spandau is yet young.

Advertising Need
Stressed in Britain.
The Evening Times, Glasgow
lertlserS must preach that advertising
is an essential part of the trade and in
dustry of this country" said Mr.. F. P.
Blshop, the advertising manager of the
London Times, in an address to the
members of the Publicity Club of Glas-
gov today.
Speaking on the enemies to advertis-
ing, Mr.. Bishop said that the trade de-
preston appeared to be the worst. He
was OF the opinion. however, that this
same depression might be a blessing in
disguise. Advertising had been grow
ing Tor years. 1t had now stopped
growing and advertisers throughout the
country were able to take stock of the
progress made and also of the difficul-
ties and enemies they had still to face.
They would have to covercome the
distrust and hostility that existed In
the minds of the public, caused chiefly
by quack and disreputable advertising.
They had to fight these enemies within
their own camp.
He instanced a clause in the town
and country planning bill, which was
before Parliament at present, and which
if it were passed, gave the local au-
thorities complete power to ban any
display in their districts. He added that
the advertising association had fought
sgainst this, and that if the bill were
passed there would be some modiflcS-
tion of this clause.
