By Bill Smiley Next time somebody in the club or other organization you belong to asks if you'd handle the publicity for some: event that’s. com p, take my advice and re- shond with a ringing “NO.” That’s the way they al- ways put it: “Handle the publicity. ** Casual. Nothing to it. You just “handle” it. Well, I’m sitting here in my underwear trying to write a column, becaug I've just finished a tworweek stint of “handling” the pub- licity and I'm soaking wet from the waist up. Why? Because I'm just home after galloping up and down the main street beg- ging merchants to put post- ers in their windows, I should have known bet- ter. I got my baptism quite ‘a few years ago when I took on the publicity chores fot an election campaign. Vve been involved in thee © elections -since, each = p emerging in the same condi. tion: wringing wet | and swearing “never again.” But the first one was the worst one. I was a lot younger or I'd probably not have come through it with- out cracking up. My candidate was young, had never: mun before, and against a man who belonged to the large gov- ernment majority. The lat- ter should have been a shoo-in, But we licked him, We formed a triumvirate: Ross Whicher, the candi- date, Geordie Hough, cam- paign manager, and myself, publicity manager. Ross beat the back roads and wore out three pairs of shoes, Geordie beat every bush in the county raising money. And beat my brains to the bone writing : speeches and news releases and advertisements. Hardly anybody pays any attention to the platforms of the various par- ties, so you have to sell the man. And there are only so many ways of saying, “Our Buy | is better then their «. ‘ou say your guy has : more children than their guy and that the former is active in church work. The opposition counters by pointing out their guy's ex- perience and claiming he is vitally interested in crippled children. And so on. You challenge your op- ponent, in an ad, to a public debate. He gets ‘free public- ity by grounds that there is no evi- dence your guy has any- thing worth listening to in - public. And so on, Then there are the adver- tisements. We had ten week- lies and a daily paper invol- refusing on the | ved, plus two radio stations, - And we never had enough money. So, every ad had to be small b power. Try this sometime. Try getting across a vital ut packed with < message in a thirty-second commercial. Oh well, it was sort of fun at the time, and I learn- ed that a man can work 18 hours a day and emerge, if not unscathed, at least alive, As recall, the’ only material rewatd was a crock of Crown Royal. Not because the candidate was a cheap- skate, but because he was up to his ears in bills, after the election, As I said, I should have known better, at my age, than to “handle the Tabtiek, ty” again, But when I was asked, I responded like an old war horse who has been through the reek and blood of battle, but can’t resist it. It was such a little thing, really, Just the publicity for an Open’ House at our school, to mark the com- pletion of a new wing, built to the tune of three million, Nothing to it. A’ no-profit evente Just; det the Papers Next ‘thing I know, I'm writing ads, churning out thousands of words of copy, trying to con radio and tele- - vision stations into believing that the “news item” I am phoning in is not paid adver- tising, composing a letter for'1300 kids to take home to their parents,” writing let- ters of invitation to various dignitaries, arranging -print- ing of posters, and finally detributing these in person. However, I've managed to ‘totter through once again. The only thing that bothers me is that I enlisted one of my young assistants in the English department into. writing radio commer- cials, and I’m afraid he’s. hooked. He's been batting out thirty-second commer- cials with not only elan but gusto. I- wouldn't be sur- prised if he quit teaching English and went into adver- tising, a fate worse than death. There’s one other unfor- tunate side effect. My wife and daughter have a wed- ding coming up. The former ying in ever-decreasing ° . circles of. panic and accuses "me. of having deserted her during ‘the «crisis, because I've spent so much. time — you guessed it — “handling. the publicity.” Fortunately, © blithely unconcerned about the whole thing, She con- stantly remarks, “Stop wor- .- rying, Mom. There's nothing to it”, which has the effect of turning the Old Battleaxe a deep shade of violet, while her head — whirls with thoughts of invitations and announcements to be print- ed, the house to get ready, . the flowers to be organized, and the casual kid's wedding dress not even thought of, .with ten days to go. Nat to mention, ‘When is the yard going to be cleaned up?” and. “I'll never get that chair back from the upholsterer’s in, time”, and simply, °“I “4 Kim is - * SAFETY CHECK Phone 365-7511 cant face it.
