ing of the stunt, is now collect
ing awards all over the country.
1t underlines the immense ap-
peal Of TV to the kids. The
youngsters always have a vital
influence over the family's spend
ing habits-but now even the
pre-reading ones are developing
definite buying wants. We're
creating a Nation of spenders
from infancy!
It illustrates in a dramatic
way how much a nation of fad
dists We are-at any age.
It'll pass as all craZeS pass

I'll bet). Meanwhile it is and
will become even more a sensa- =
tional business story-which tells
as much about us in 1855 as
