Advertising As News A recent study by Dr. Georage Gallup emphasizes that newspapers advertising is re- garded as ‘news’ by most readers. We're not surprised at this, considering the fact that ad- vertising’s first job is to inform, even before it sells. t To be sure, there are critics of advertis- sing who claim that many people buy things athey don’t really want or need -- with money - they don’t have -- because of some copywri- ter’s .persuasiveness. While this argument sounds interesting, it doesn’t hold up. Take, for instance, the automobile. Ad- -vertising through the years has made ours a nation on wheels. And working along with ad- .vertising has been the installment buying me- ~ thed, which has enabled many millions to buy cars and thereby improve their living stand- ards, . In this country, prosperity is dependent on two factorss -- that we produce food and products, and that the people consume them. When this balance is upset, we have over-pro- duction and under-consumption, resulting in economic instability. The Canadian people can be trluly grateful to the creativeness of the advertising industry for helping to main- tain this healthy balence by “selling” Can- adian production to Canadian people. Incidentally, this week is ADVERTISING WEEK all over North America. The campaign sieaan this year -- “Advertising Works For ‘ou. OF MANY THINGS By AMBROSE HILLS MOON CHASING, MADAM? For years now we have been warning women of this country to stop chasing the will-o-the- wisp .of equality with men and concentrate on ‘belng women. However, not content with liv- ing longer, spending most of the national income, greater emo- tional stability, greater freedom from disease, ulcers and wives, they must still go chasing the moon. And to what end? Let me tell you. In the first place addiction, alcoholism and ulcers are show- ing a.rapid Increase among wom- en, So also is the divorce rate, incidence of prostitution and con- sumption of a vast variety of sedatives and “happiness pills.” This is the road to equality? While Italian, French and German women are “celebrating themselves as women" and con- sider that their home and family is their most important sphere and source of happiness and from our point of view spoil their x and KEEPING ‘EM BREATHING! This is a serious tribute to the medical profession, but can’t resist beginning it with the gag about a newspaper reporter who asked an old gent for the secret of longevity, and was given the priceless answer, "Jest keep breathing, son -- keep breathing.” Inability to breathe freely is no joke, as thousands of asthmatics freely tell you, and that’s why | wont to pay tribute right now to the medical doctors who have been ’encour- aging an experimentt full of promise for those who. suffer’from.bronchial-osthma, The experiment began in -- of all places --the Montreal.Forum, scene of the Saturday night Hockey Broadcasts. Hockey players are. desperate if any- thing goes amiss with the functioning of their breathing is. Plante, for ple, ha ? ing. Perhaps the physiotherapist who kept those players going could help a man with asthma! The doctor decided to try it. That was five years ago. ' That was the beginning of an experiment Bill Head, the physiotherapist, with the super- yision and encouragement of the medical doc- tor (and soon other doctors, too, were sending patients and helping in the development of the method) ; found that his skill in manipu- lating the rib cage of an athlete could be used to hel; t i sometimes ‘di ‘ically, nearly always considerably. Soon the patient is able to'take over‘and do his or her own ex- ercises to maintain the blessed relief. So far,only sports writers, interested doc- tors, and some one hundred relieved patients have known about this exciting work. Doctors are traditionally shy of publicity; and Bill Head, a trained physiotherapist, but not a a long struggle with his b hi Goyette, and even boam-boom Geoffrion had breathing problems. Fortunately, the famous Canadiens had a physiotherapist superbly skilful in the art or keeping ‘em: breathing. : Fortunately, too, Montreal had a med- icol doctor who sometimes watched hockey. ‘This doctor had an asthmatic patient, a pro- blem patient over whom he had been worry- | doctor, will need medical sponsorship and the facilities of a medical school or un- versity if his mechanical treatment for bron- chial asthma is to come into widespread use. 1 have a notion that the sponsorship and the facilities will soon t ilable.

The admin- istration of the survey is being .| carried out by the Dental Divis- ion of the- Kootenay Health Units in cooperation with the practls- ing dentists and the staffs of cer- tain schools. To examine the 22,000 stu- dents in the schools would re- quire a great amount of time and the cost would be prohibl- tive, Equally satisfactory results can be ‘by the seldcti Koofenays en at random for examination. ‘The examinations: through- out the Kootenays will be car- ried out by local practising den- tists.
