K|WAN|S PROGRAM IS
GIVEN TO ADVERTISING

Out of respect to National News
paper week which was soon to be
observed, the Laurel Kiwanis club
had j. Strand Hilleboe, advertising
manager of the Billings Gazette,
as it's speaker at the weekly meet
ing last Wednesday evening. Eu-
gene V. Mills, program chairman
who introduced the speaker, ex-
planned that advertising had been
selected for consideration because
it plays such an important role in
the sale of merchandise and is also
a source of income for newspapers.
Hilleboe analysed advertising,
recommended close adherence to
the established ethics of the bust
ness, and offered several sugges-
tons for increasing its effective
ness. The basic principles under
lie all forms of advertising, en-
bracing radio and billboard. It's
only object is to sell something:
goods, services, sometimes ideas.
Experience reveals that truth in
advertising is more than a moral
obligation, that its effectiveness
in the creation of consumers is
impaired when it deviates from the
truth or exaggerates beyond the
point of emphasis. The speaker
considered advertising and selling
Synonymous, and commented
that good advertising informs the
and helps to create intelli-
gent buying. 1t also reduces dis
tribution costs. The subject is well
worth expenditures of time, atten-
ton and effort, including careful
planning, which too often it does
not receive.
Business executives know and
practice good buying but n prone
to overlook, or at least slight, good
through the medium of
Advertising. A criticism was that
not enough is told about the de-
sirableness of the merchandise or
service being offered for sale. U.s.
ing ladies' coats as an illustration,
Hilleboe said the prospective pur-
will invariably want to
know such essential details as kind
Of material, color, trim, whether
or fitted, long or short, and
any other essential.
Today's selling is different from
that of 1941, for the merchandisers
are competing in an entirely new
set of circumstances. The speaker

gram is a plan to fill and surface
a rather extensive area of the
site, all of which will probably be
enclosed by fence.
Peak capacity of the plant, which

Even though the shooting war
may quit for the present and
Korea become a memory of an
unpleasant incident, the taxpayers,
the consumers, and the business
men are due for a long, tougher
period ahead. That's what some of
the people say who study the pres
ent situation and as it may be in
the future. Their reason for think
ing so is that the American atti-
tude has changed, and that instead
of waiting for a further move of
aggression before arming them
selves the Americans may aban-
don their old policy of hoping for
the best of intentions to prevail
abroad. The change in public atti-
tude mean that America will con-
tinue to arm itself, and this costs
money.
To meet the expense of such
a program, Americans may expect
higher living costs, with controls
now around the corner. AS more
men go into the services, fewer
gadgets will be in the stores; pro-
duction of nonessentials will fall
off. This means the present $14
billion-a-year defense bill will be
hiked to $50 billion by next sum-
mer, and some think it may go
to $40 billion the following year,
or even to $50 billion. And every
body will feel it.
Take a look at what economists
well as Washington officials say
in prospect, if the end of the
Korean war does not reverse public
opinions support of the rearma-
nent program to which the U. S.
S at present committed:
1. Taxes-Less take-home pay,
starting next week. Even less next
year. The drive to "pay as we go"
S going to be be tougher on your
,ocketbook than you now realize,
avs Treasury Secretary Snyder. J
2. Prices-Living costs are 60
ng up, the commerce department i
'redicts. Already near the 1913 ]
'eak, prices in general will go still {
for food and manu- I
actured goods. {
3. Controls - Government con- c
rolls ''are not too long away" says v
Secretary Sawyer. Some
hink price controls are due early
ext year, unless commodity prices \
reak sharply with the collapse of =
ne Reds in Korea-and stay down,
hitch many think unlikely. Wage
ontrols may follow to halt the in
.ationary spiral.
4. Credit Curbs-Present mild
estrictions on installment buying V
lay be frightened further before :
lie year is over to make it really T
)ugh to buy on the cuff. New l.
estrictions on home mortgages G
lay be clamped on sooner. Il
5. Homes-It will grow harder r.
nd costlier to finance the building O
!, a new home. Defense plants j
ill take more copper, zinc, steel a
nd lumber. Only one-third as a
any homes will be started next j
ear as are being built this year, e'
lie commerce department thinks.
he National Retail Lumber Deal al
s association, however, believes u
home building boom will de- w
ate so rapidly that within two &C
onths there will be more lumber u
an the public will buy. II
6. Goods in Stores-The rush to ST
lid inventories of consumer pl
,ods has swamped some manu- m
cturers with orders. But, if the
Tense program really gets into r
gh gear next year, production th
civilian goods will be slowed. m
For one thing, there will be te

attempted jai,breaks last year,
three of which were successful
"were due in large part to- an in

inspectors" .u,
The bill empowers the County
Manager to make the appointments
before August Is. Mr.. McNayr
told reporters he would appoint a
iailer and three guards, one of
whom would be a cook, within a
month. He said the present jailer,
Joseph Monkey, 67, is eligible for
retirement under the State sys-
tenn. Mr.. Monkey now is assisted
by three guards. The cooking is
done by q trusty.
Other bills passed by the Coun-
ell at last Thursdays legislative
session provide that; certain
banks may be designated as de-
positories for county funds; the
fee for certifying payment or non
payment of taxes shall be 81 for
four years and 25 cents for each
additional year; the Council may
prescribe conditions under which
streets, alleys or roads may be
accepted by the county for main
tenance; no building located be-
yond public sewer shall be &C.
cupied unless its sewage disposal
facilities have been approved by

Gil may pass regulations covering
