Addresses Student Body

Blasted on Saturday was the popu-
lar notion that advertising increases
the cost of articles We buy.
Herbert H. Smith, of N. w. Aver
and Son, Inc, Philadelphia, told
West Nottingham Academy students
that 81 years ago an automobile
tire cost $1,000 with no guarantee.
Today, because of mass production
uue largely to advertising, a better.
tire guaranteed for a year sells for
$1,000.
Continuing, the advertising execu-
bought oranges at rs cents a dozen
only for Christmas. Today advertis-
ing has everybody buying oranges
Tor % cents dozen.
Advertising, Smith admitted, ap-
pears expensive. The Saturday Even
ing Post gets $4,000 for a full page.
A color plate may cost $500 or $40O
Just to produce. But considering the
number OF potential consumers the
message reaches, it costs, for ex-
ample, only 100000 OF cent to adj
vertlse a can OF Campbell's soup, and
$4,000 cents for a bottle of Coca
Cola.
mr.. Smith, introduced by J. Paul
Slaybaugh, headmaster of the Acad-
envy, as one OF the speakers in the
regular series of vocational talks
gwen for the guidance of students,
named five character traits prere-
quisite for advertising work. Ac-
curacy, industry, persistence, imagi-
nation, and truthfulness are vital,
ne said. for success in this field.

N. Y. A. In Rising Sun
High School
Students Aided By Govern
ment For Work While
Attending School

In the high schools of Cecil Coun-
ty, as well as in the other schools
throughout the nation, students are
being aided by the N. Y. A. Stu
dents belonging to this Organiza-
ton are given financial assistance
by the government for work done
while attending the school. In our
school the N. Y. A., Is proving bene-
fetal from two points of view. In the
first place 1t Is of personal benefit
to the students themselves; it helps
them to pay their school expenses;
1t helps them to learn to
do various and varied tasks; it aids
in the teaching of desirable atti-
tudes such as, recognition of the
dignity of honest labor and pride
in a task well done. Then, too, it is
proving of inestimable value to the
school, to the other students, and
to the teachers; 1t makes the school
environment more pleasant; 1t
lightens the burdens of the teachers.
The N. Y. A. has been in effect
in the Rising Sun High School for
the past six years, and at the present
time there are fourteen members.
There are five types of work which
are being done in our school, The
first is Clerical. Activities of this
type are: Helping with the prin-
cipal's correspondence, posting not
ices from the principal, arranging
material in the filing cabinet, keep
ing the Office in order, duplicating
and tipping.
The second, Maintenance, consists
Of cleaning duplicating equipment,
painting, washing walls, repairing
plaster, cleaning windows, and wash
ing sinks.
In the next type, Construction,
such worthwhile projects as the
following have been executed: Max
ing keyboard for the office, MAX
ing a teachers mailbox, putting
poster railing in the Office and class
rooms, building book shelves, making
fire drill charts, installing window
shields, book cupboards, and stage
scenery. a
L-..4n the forth, Library Service, ac-
tivities are: Making repairs and
kkeeping books in order ON shelves.
The fifth type of work consists of
Miscellaneous Activities, such as,
care5of the school grounds, sorting
and storing books, acting as cafe
terra cashier, making guidance pos
tiers, and doing many other little
odd jobs.
We feel that the N. Y. A. has been
very valuable and worthwhile aid
to our students and teachers.

Protect The Dogwood

Landowners in particular and ma
ture lovers in general are called
upon to aid in preventing destruc-
ton of the native Towering dog
wood which at this time of year is
the glory of Maryland's woodland. 1t
Is a rather common variety in most
sections of the state and, while
there is no immediate danger of its
complete determination, in the vi
cinity of large centers of popula-
ton there is a tendency for dogwood
to disappear quite rapidly, it is
pointed out by Walter R. Ballard,
specialist in Ornamental horticulture
for the University of Maryland Elk
tension Service. He says that every
one should be vigilant, especially
during the blooming period, to pre-
vent wanton destruction of the tree
and particularly to DIRECT the at
tention of others to its value and
need for protection.
Dogwood has many points In Its
favor as an ormental tree for the
lawn and home. Not the least is the
fact that it is nearly as decorative
in the winter as it is in spring and
all. Dogwood makes a fine effect
front of evergreens, especially
when in bloom. The red berries and
..oloring are rich in the fall. and
even in the winter the well-develop-
ed flower buds are objects of inter-
est. In addition, dogwood is not at
lacked by the Japanese beetle.
Mr.. Ballard states that one OF
the best methods of protecting dog
wood is to plant it on the home
grounds. While it is not so easy to
transplant, the larger specimens
from the woods, smaller ones may
be moved satisfactory in the early
spring, if the young trees are cut
back to about one foot in height.
The pink-fiowered forms make de-
s.rable ornamental trees for thai
reason, the better pink strains are
propagated by nurserymen by bud
ding the common dogwood stock.
When specimens are transplanted
from the woods, new shoots from
the base may be trained as desired.
