Grafton to indorse the Summers reso-

Grafton to indorse the Summers reso-
luton at its next council meeting.
In another resolution, the club
voted to 60 on record in favor of
continuance of an appropriation for
the Dies Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities. A brief spirited dis
cussion followed presentation Of the
motion but the resolution was passed
with only two dissenting votes.
Mrs. Wiley pointed out the resolu-
ton stated that facts brought out
by the Dies committee have not
always been actually proven" and
that the investigation has not al
ways been carried on in the best
manner due to lack of funds" The
resolution, however, further ex-
pressed the belief that investigations
of the committee have done great
service to the country 'in waking up
our citizens" to certain subversive
activities.
In presenting the motion to in
dorse the Summers resolution, Mrs.
Wiley described as an encouraging
sign the fact that four proposed
constitutional amendments for ma
tional representation for the Dis
trict now are pending in Congress
the Capper- Norton, the Randolph
Lewis. the Kennedy and the Sum-
ners. 1t is the consensus, she added,
that the Summers resolution con-
tains all the provisions in the other
three.
All the resolutions propose ma
tional representation in the House
and in the electoral college, 1t was
stated. while two give the power
of repeal to this grant in the Senate,
and three give Congress power to
establish local government.

truth about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH
AN EXPERIMENT IN HOUSEKEEPING

robust health and full of energy and
strength.
Many examples can be cited OF
the inevitable result of stopping adj
vertising. Two will do. Forty years
ago there was remedy on the mar
ket which was Americas biggest
seller. 1t was widely, intelligently,
consistently advertised. It's name
was a household word Then the
founder of the business died. His
heirs decided to cut out advertising
because Jour product is so well
known people will have to buy it."
The product passed out of the pic
ture entirely.
Another was fine, honest, we'll
made, well-advertised toilet soap,
with all the good will any product
could possibly need. The manages
ment of the business changed. The
advertising stopped. Soon the prod-
uct was no longer on the markets
The reason why advertising must
be continuous process is that we
human beings need constant remindl
ing. We're not tickle. But we ara
so filled with our own ideas and
plans and businesses that il man
who wants our trade doesn't ask for
it regularly and often, we drift else
where to the man who does.
The advertiser is faced by thu
problem of asking his customers to
buy from him, but he also has to
consider the most economical way
of extending his invitation.
He finds the answer to both parts
OF this problem in the newspaper.
No other form of advertising has
ever been discovered which will
carry his message SO effectively for
so little cost.

Forest Lond Problems
To Be Discussed

The Forest Service plans series
of public conferences following the
fire season this fall to discuss the
forest land situation in the North
ern Rocky Mountain Region, Re
gional Forester Evan w. Kelley has
announced at Missoula.
The conferences will be held with
Representatives of agriculture, labor,
business, state and county officials,
timber protective associations and
other interested groups and will in
clude discussions of all forest land
problems regardless of ownership,
the forester said
The unusually large number of
forest fires, double the normal av-
erage for this region, has aroused
widespread public interest in forest
land protection and management
problems, Major Kelley stated.
Ninety-three per cent of the near
ly 5000 fires reported to date have
been held to less than 10 acres in
| size and there has been no holo-
caust such as the region experienced
an 1910, since less than 10000 acres
have been burned inside national
forest boundaries, he said. But the
constant threat of widespread dam
age to irrigation water supplies, en-
/ ployment in the lumber industry,
stock grazing, recreation, and even
many small farm homes, has caused
| general concern among those whose
| living is either directly or indi-
rectly dependent upon the fores
resources, the regional forester ex-
planned.
Fire protection is, however, only
one aspect of the forest land prob
lem" Major Kelley said, There il
need for additional protection from
insects and disease. Employment
in the lumber industry should b.
maintained at as high level as i
possible. About three hundre'
thousand acres of forest lands lait
waste by excessive logging or fir
could be profitably replanted t,
commercial species. Most of thi
land is privately owned, which
