PUBLIC. RELATIONS COUNSELOR

rators, advertising men or public-relations
counselors - in short, people who give
advice for living.
Although they rarely admit it, profess
sional men smolder whenever they are
ambushed for free advice by distant rela-
tives, neighbors or old college chums.
Nor long ago public-relations colleague
of mine complained: IF walked into one
of my friends stores and calmly strolled off
with hundred dollars worth of merchan-
disc. they'd be Mortified. But many of
them unblushingly eat my food, accept my
hospitality and then cap the evening by
cornering me for a hundred dollars worth
of free advice on a publicity campaign for
their company"
recently discussed this problem with
experts in several different fields Ronald
Allwork, of the American Institute of Archi-
tects, described an all-too-frequent routine:
Someone invites you for dinner or week
end Before you know it, you're redesigning
most of his house. When this happens,
most architects try to change the subject as
fast as possible. If that fails, they give their
advice and make a mental note never to
be trapped in that home again.
Karl Book, president of the American
Institute of Decorators, sums up the situa-
ton this way: ''The best things in life may
be free. but those things don't include
professional advice!'

to the Community Chest. Saigh
termed Weeks proposal a pub
licity stunt and suggested instead
that each team give $4,000 to

Veeck responded Immediately

represents a minimum guaran-

reach $4,000. Saigh said he
doubted a Browns-C Cardinals game

Sailing races were programmed
for September is and Is and

First Halt Since War.
The decision to set aside the
show this year represents the first
break in the program since World

back to the 1920s, was halted in
1910 and did not resume until
1916.
The boards announcement held
out hope for resuming the pro-
gram in 1852.

important policy decision. Both
the sail and power events al
ready have been sanctioned by

ing Association and the Ameri-
