American Education
Sunday At Calvary

The officials, members, friends
and pastor of the Calvary Methodist
Church invite the citizens of Mil
ford and surrounding territory
to pay tribute to those who work
and teach the boys and girls of
the Milford Special School District.
A special service has been arrang-
ed on American Education on Sun
day, November 6, at 1880.
This service of worship will be-
gin the observance of American
Education Week. This week is
sponsored by the National Educa-
tion Association, the American
Legion, the United States Office of
Education and the National Con-
( gress of Parents and Teachers with
the cooperation of lay and relig-
ious groups. The observance was
first celebrated in 1921. It grew
out of conditions revealed by the
draft of World War No. /, showing
that about one-fourth of those call
ed to serve their country were
physically unfit and an equal num-
Der were illiterate.
The purpose of American Edu-
cation Week is to call the attention
of the public once each year to the
vital role of education in the life
of our democracy. The national
sponsors of American Education
Week likewise recognize the fun
damental place of religion in hu-
man affairs and consequently
stress the observance of American
Education Week Sunday. They
seek the cooperation Of all relig-
ious groups in making this obser-
vance of great significance.
The general theme this year is
Making Democracy Work" The
!, subdivisions are as follows: Sun
day, "The Worth of the Individ-
ual;" Monday, Educational Oppor-
= tunity;" Tuesday, Responsible
Citizenship" Wednesday,, Health
and Safety" Thursday, Home and
Community Obligations; Friday,
"Our Freedom and Security" Sat
urday, Next Decade in Education. 8"

ed to visit the school and will find

ADVERTISING AND PRICES

An expert on retail trade has said, "This
year stores are planning as much and in many
cases actually more advertising in both dol
lars and in percentage of business than last
year. We will see the largest retail advertis-
ing dollar expenditure in history. News
papers, radio, direct mail and the other tools
will share in this selling drive" Here is ad-
ditiOnal evidence that competition really is
intense today. Store advertising has several
related purposes. First of all, it is designed
to interest people in goods and to keep buying
at high level. 1t is also designated to Gre
ate new customers, and to keep the old Gus
toners coming back. 1t is the visual link
between those who have something to sell
and those who want to buy. Every now and
then someone argues that advertising and
other types of promotion are wasteful and
amount to an unnecessary charge against the
consumer who buys the wares. This is about
as shortsighted as any viewpoint could be-.
The fact is that advertising has been a potent
force in holding prices down. 1t helps make
possible mass production and mass distribu-
tion-and without them prices would really
be out of sight. Furthermore, it keeps the
competitive spirit at high pitch No mer-
chant will last long charging Out-of-line
prices. His customers will read the ads of
competitive stores and take their trade to
them Advertising is one of the great con-
structive forces within the economy.
