In Advertising by
Cigarette Industry
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion has asked the cigarette in
dustry to consider abandoning
references to health in its adver-
Using and to limit sales appeals
generally to quality, taste, flavor
and enjoyment.
The proposals were made in a
letter sent to all cigarette man.
ufacturers by Charles E. Gran
dey, director of the FIGS new
Bureau of Consultation. set up
to foster agreements without lit
igation.
BY implication, the proposal
put cigarette makers on notice
that ETC might soon apply
blanket disapproval against all
advertising appeals which are
questionable in light of present.
day scientific knowledge"
Cancer Not Mentioned.
The ETC letter made no spe-
cific mention of the current con-
troversy over whether cigarette
smoking can be linked to a rise
in lung cancer, but said:
THE spirit in which the in
dustry has entered into the effort
to resolve the scientific questions
currently presented leads us to
the belief that the industry
! will consider this an especially
propitiouS time to effect volun-
tary cessation of every ques-
tionable claim and implication
In its advertising :"
The commission sent the ciga-
\ rette makers list of eight types
OF advertising it suggested
should be eliminated. A ninth
suggestion set forth the field ETC
would be ready to recognize as
fair grounds for cigarette ad
writer's.
Comments Sought.
Mr.. Grandey asked for COM
ments from the industry on the
feasibility of establishing the
standards, and suggestions on
the standards themselves.
On the negative side, he said
that cigarette advertising should
not:
l. Imply that cigarette smok-
ing in general or the smoking of
any particular brand is bene-
fetal to health Gin any respect"
2. Claim that cigarette smok-
ing in general or the use of any
particular brand is mot harm
ful' or "non-irritating," or use
such words as smooth" and
soothing"
3. Claim that because of the
ingredients, method of manu-
facture. length or filter, the
smoke of any brand of cigarettes
contains less nicotine, tar, resins
or other harmful substances
than another brand unless the
claim is supported by current
and conclusive impartial scien-

The Navy has set up an Office
Of Military Personnel Security to
keep an eye on pending loyalty
cases and to develop security
policies.
The move apparently stems
from the Abraham ChasanoW
case. Mr.. Chasanow of Green
belt, Md, recently was reinstated
to his supervisory job in the
Navy's photographic Office after
the Navy determined that a
grave injustice" had been done
him in considering him a secur-
ity risk and keeping him off the
job Is months. He went back
to work yesterday.
When Mr.. Chasanow's REIN
statement was announced, AS
sistant Navy Secretary James H.
Smith said that the way in which
his case was handled had brought
a study of the Nays security
program.
The Navy said the charges
against Mr.. Chasanow by per-
sons the Navy did not identify
were not substantiated when a

study Of the case was made. Mr..
Smith said that a way would
have to be found to make a
closer check on stories told by
such anonymous informants.
An order sent to all naval in
stallations and ships specifies
that the Military Personnel Sc

l. Monitor and coordinate

2. Establish a central reposi-
tory of information on the eligi-
bility of officers for access to
secret data and on the current
status of all security cases.
The security Office also is or
dered to keep a constant eye
on the processing of all cases
arising under security regula-
lions.

Let's Show 'Em How To Put
Our City On The Economic Map
AN EDITORIAL

When our kids get little wild, we ask
each other, what is the police doing about
it?" Not the parents, mind you, but the
police.
With a downtown parking problem, we
ask what the Council is doing about it.
Let's face facts. If our citizens shug off
their responsibilities, they'll receive exactly
the degree of accomplishment they deserve
All of us are members of the business
community of Port Clinton Whether we
own factory or work in one; whether we
are housewives or farmers; if we deliver
newspapers or sell shirts all of us are men,
bers of this business community.
Our economic lives are so intertwined now
that every man out of job is threat to
our own jobs Not that he will compete
with us for our jobs, but rather that he will
be unable to purchase the goods or services
which we provide.
In our complex economy, we can no long
er stock our own caves and hide out in them
while our neighbors are out in the cold.
Whether we like the relationship or not, our
neighbors are business brothers.
Here's chance for Port Clinton to make
name for itself by showing other COM
munltleS the way TO growth, economic Stabll-
ity and lasting happiness. For goodness
sakes, let's not wait for Washington or Co.
lumbus to give us an economic shot in the
arm.
The Chambers proposal is a new concept
in community planning. If our citizens will
pitch into the job, nothing can stop the
future growth of Port Clinton. Let's-each
and every one of us-get in there and pitch.
Let's put Port Clinton on the economic
map of Ohio. and show the rest of the
state how to put Ohio on the economic map
of the country.

upper grades.
Education differs today, Miss
Pomrenke believes, in that more
emphasis is placed on cultural
subjects rather than devoting all
the time to the basics, as was the
custom when she taught her first
one-room school. Also important
is today's trend of indivualizing
teaching rather than mass" teach
ing = fitting the child to take
his place in the procession" she
aptly calls it.
Youngsters at Gypsum get more
than scholastic training. It was
noon one day The News talked to
Miss Pomrenke at Gypsum School.
The shining cafeteria was quickly
filled with orderly children, while
in the neat kitchen Mrs. Charles
Sibbrell and Mrs. Joe Kokinda pre-
sided over the appetizing lunch
con.
Small first graders collected their
food with neatness and dispatch.
AS each table was filled, heads
were bowed in unison oral grace.
Miss Pomrenke saw nothing un-
usual in it. It's a custom of long
standing.
Born in Oak Harbor. she has
always lived there. She attended
Bowling Green, and took some
work at Ohio University at Athens.
She lives alone in a peaceful coun-
try home west of Oak Harbor, and
drives back and forth each day.
Birds and animals are her favor
ite hobby, and she loves nature in
all its forms. A trip to Nova Scotia
is in the making for summer.
But when fall comes, Minnie
Pomrenke, teacher, will be back
at her desk at Gypsum School.
And Ottawa county's educational
system will be the better for it.
