Bill Forbes, editor of Canadian Printer & Publisher, comes up with this “first genuine comparison of newspapers - radio - television effectiveness” for retail] advertisers. in a recent survey, all four parties—- retailers, newspapers, radio and television stations -- cooperate to test the effectiveness of 11.6 pages of newspaper advertising, 438 thirty- second spot ads (261 on five radio stations ; 177 on five television stations) in 2,176 interviews with people in the - survey area. . : Newspapers came up roses, three to one or better: with only 38 per cent of the advertising budget, they developed 71- per cent of the advertising influence; television (49 per cent of -budget) developed 28 per cent of influence; radio (12 per cent of budget) developed only nine per cent of the influence, no Spring springing 7 + © Asmile Was "Ori the’ fae of Terrace Tate last week. ~ aa Sweet lady Spring made her gentle debut with the soft warmth of the sun on our cheeks Soon she will burst alive with a rainbow dress of colors, with crocuses, daffodils and pussy willows popping, leaving the bitter, old man of winter for another year, -What does Spring bring? Many things to many people, But just what is Spring? Spring is love, pure and simple with a feeling for our fellow man beating in our hearts; a simple smile...a respect for each other. Spring has no time for hate and viciousness, for petty bickering and malisciousness. _ Spring is understanding. Being aware of each others ‘Limtitatiofis ‘ox’ > its been freeezing rain, or cold :- faults yet realising that man is not perfect and realising even more that .perfection must be a goal, for the goal can never be too high. Spring is beauty. A time to buy your wife a new dress for the season; a time for a gal to buy a bright, new tie for her - guy. Spring is giving of yourself and of receiving with graciousness. Spring is tender and loving; warm and gentle. ‘To know happiness, we must all, regardless of age or profession, hold Spring deep within the wells of sur being and allow her to radiate outwards, touching everyone we meet with love. ; - Success or not? — Was it a success or a failure?

We've got about 13 feet of snow so far. Today I saw a chap up on a snowbank about twenty feet high. Crouched under the limbs of &@ maple tree, he was trying to push the snow back enough so that he'd have somehwere to put the next deluge. And when it hasn’t been belting down the white stuff, - enough to freeze’ the brains of a brass monkey. JOBLESS CLIMB Despite some statistic- juggling at Ottawa, unem- ployment figures have climbed steadily. : On paper, they’re just digits. But when they hit close to home, they're human beings. It's not just the transient or the unskilled worker who is laid off. I have friends, industrious, sober, intelligent workers - foremen and management - who have worked their way up through sheer guts and determination and are now ‘suddenly in limbo, drawing unemployment insurance. BITTER After searching desperately for a job, they become bitter, and one can’t blame them. With mortgage and in- surance payments to meet and _just enough money coming in ta put food on the table, they feel cheated. © After a decade or two of hard,work, just when they're beginning to see daylight financially, they are ‘tossed aside through no fault of their “own, , ‘ Perhaps we have too many brains at Ottawa and not enough hearts. The logicans with thelr figures, convinced the top brains that they could halt inflation. A fiasco! Interest rates are still crip- Bling, . The cost o1 tying slides slowly but steadily upward while the standard of living goes down down or stays Static. Don’t ask the financial moguls or the banks, or the credit companies. They’re doing all right. Ask the small business man or the skilled worker whose unemployment insurance has run out, He'll tell you. And then there are the sneaky taxes coming out of Ottawa. Oh, they’re not called taxes. They are merely readjustments, or what-ever the slide-rule boys want €o call them. : vod “¥ou move so much -money ‘from here to there, and you’re not increasing taxes, merely redistributing the wealth, FAMILY ALLOWANCE One of these' gimmicks is taking. away the family aliowance from those making more than $10,000.

Dear Sir: In the seven year effort which the conservation-minded people successfully pursued to have such a small portion of our . , priceless wild heritage on the ’. Nass .River conserved, they relied ‘entirely upon the generosity of the local paper, radio and T.V. to bring the _ problem before the public. In so doing, the majority of the people can feel very proud in the knowledge that they took alpine game animals for the benifit. of others and their children, . : _ Very rarely does the conservation movement hava ‘the financial reserves to pay for the publicity which is so surely needed in the continuing fight against greed and selfishness on ‘the one hand and the conserving use of resources on the other. , As the various conservation organizations in this fabulous .
