How Much Do People
Reed k~verfising?

You've probably wondered about
this. To tell the truth, for many
years advertising men wondered
about it, too.
Today, though, the measurement
If reading has become a regular
part Of the technique Of advertising.
Up-to-date advertisers don't guess
how much we read their ads-they
know.
Talking about this with Russell
Eller, Sunkist advertising manager,
your reporter learned some rather
surprising facts.
X X X
Reading Of ads is checked by a
large independent research organi-
zatlon, and advertisers like Sunkist
subscribe to its service. Each week
it sends trained interviewers into
homes all over America with copies
ot current magazines.
The interviewers sit down with
people in their own living rooms,
find out which magazines they have
read, and then go over these maga-
zines with them page by page. They
find out not only whether the person
saU your ad but just how much Of it
he read.
The hundreds Of answers are
added together and scientifically
compiled into ''readership reports"
10 show how useful these are, Mr..
Eller took two Of the four special
ized Gunkist Lemon campaigns as
examples.
These campaigns, on Lemons for
Colds and Lemtn ana Water as a
laxative, began just a few years
ago, and are entirely different from
other Sunkist advertising. Without
a careful check on reading, these
campaigns might have gone through
4 long process Of trial and error
before getting really good. But
here's what huppcned:-
X X X
The reports quickly showed which
Cold and Laxative ads got most
reading, and which got least The
next ads were developed out Of those
that got the most, and all other
types were discarded. In following
months certain advertise ements
again did better than others. They
were then anaiyzed and only the
best elements retained. And so on.
The aim was to get as many thor
ough readers as possible per dollar
spent.
The results are something Lemon
growers can feel very good about.
The Lemon Cold and Laxative cam
palgns today Get far better reading
than any advertising for drug store
cold and laxative remedies in the
same magazines. They are captur-
ing for lemons IN increasing share
Of this big market. Both Sunkist
campaigns gct 9S thorough readers
per dollar This is exactly twice as
many rs the average magazine ad
secures. IL other words, Exchange
lemon growers pay 1c per reader in
stead Of 2c-gct twice as much for
their money.
This is only one example Of the
modern thods used by the
Exchange Advertising Department
to make Sunkist advertising in
crease citrus consumption and build
a still bigger consumer preference
for Sunkist fruit. Thus Sunkist ad-
vertising is i valuable investment
for Exchange members. As you plan
your future, consider well what an
advantage this advertising gives to
the grower VINO joins the Exchange.

Foes Of Dog Racing
Seek 10 Force Vote on
Anne Arundel Law
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May Sop.
ponents of dog racing in Anne
Arundel County went ahead today
with their efforts to force to a
referendum a new law, which, its
sponsor said. would provide a lega
basis for the sport. despite as
surances from Gov. O'Conor that II
could not do so.
Joseph w. Armstrong, prominent
Annapolis citizen who led the fight
against dog racing moves in the
recent General Assembly, said that
Attorney Noah Hillman, Annapolis
had been authorized to draw up the
necessary referendum petition for
distribution as soon as possible.
To force a referendum on the
law, due to go into effect June
at least 1,464 signers must be OBJ
tanned A total of 1887 persons
voted for Governor at the last cleo
ton, and Maryland law states that
to institute referendum one
tenth of this number of signers must
be obtained. All must be qualified
voters.
Delegate Shipley, Democrat, OF
Anne Arundel started the issue Sat-
urday when he claimed bill he
had sponsored and which subse-
quently was signed by Gov. OConor
would provide the legal basis for the
sport, despite the fact there was
no mention of it anywhere in the
text.
Gov. O'Conor said Sunday that,
had he had<an intimation that dog
racing was intended in the measure,
broadening licensing and regulatory
powers of Anne Arundel County
commissioners, he would have vetoed
it.
Yesterday he reported that in his
opinion the bill could not provide
legal basis for dog racing, since de-
feat of an avowed dog race bill
would show to any court, in case of
test, that the intent of the Gen.
eral Assembly was not to permit the
sport.

To Hear Shelton Case On Paroles, Divorce

By the Associated Press,
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, May s.-Two
pieces Of controversial legislation
passed by the 1945 General Assembly
the State parole system revision
and the bill to reduce length Of
voluntary separation needed for
divorce-have been vetoed by Gov.
O'Conor.
The Governor made no comment
on his veto of the latter measure,
which would have lowered from
i've to three years the period of
voluntary separation needed for a
divorce.
Inability to obtain qualified per-
sons for parole board service was
given by Gov. O'Conor as one of
the reasons for veto of the former.
This measure would have trans
ferred parole granting powers now
vested in the Governor to a revised
parole board of three members.
Both had stormy passage through
the General Assembly.
Also vetoed was a bill which would
have opened Back River to fishing
by nets or seines from March / to
June ! each year.

House Eases Citizenship
For Soldiers Children
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Legislation to preserve the Amer
lean citizenship of children born
abroad to alien wives of United
States servicemen under 81 years
of age won unanimous House ap-
prevail yesterday. 1t has not been
acted on by the Senate
Existing law provides that a child
born abroad under such circum-
stances becomes a United States
citizen if the citizen-parent had
lived in the United States at least
five years after his 18th birthday.
Since many American soldiers
now abroad are under 81, they could
not have lived in this country the
required number of years and, with
out the legislation, their children
born abroad would not be citizens.
