the late news on cfrb lonesomef gal directs her sales talk exclusively to men on behalf or a cigarette firm and her program is designed for the tired business man at the end of a busy day it is

approach which gives general information as well as specific product promo tion this has been pioneered by the big city depart ment stores which often devote a whole page of space to a christinas poem an easter story or to support of chayilsdsiyhippeals thecanadian bank of commerce has gone one step further and is paying canadian auth ors for original snort stories which are reproduced with illustrations in colour in leading canadian magazines a reprint of the first story by morley callaghan appear ed in a recent issue of the herald and consideration is being given by the publicity department of the dank to newspaper advertising with a similar theme locally j b mackenzie or son have for some time been using a chatty type of news advertising with great success ken mcmillan used a similar type of column for a series of ads a few years ago and robbs drugs tried something new with their sally sam stories at christmas brewers ariu distillers whose advertising is limited by law to

georgatown wmats the ansrver more thai we in canada realize there is a terrific controversy taking place in the united states about how best to stem the rising tide of communist world aggression readers of time and other topical amer ican publications are much more familiar with the ques tion than those who count on the canadian daily papers for their world news for whether by accident or design the canadian press hasnot been stressing the problem in a nutshell it is this a sizeablewody of amer ican opinion shared by such prominent citizens as ex- president herbert hoover believes that it is foolish for the states to dissipate their resources and manpower to battle communism anywhere in the world they be lieve that the americans should pull in their horns and look on britain as their last sphere of influence in the wrest and hawaii and the philtipines in the east forget about asia and the european continent and build up strong defence forces in america and make this contin ent selfsufficient economically arid so strong physicaly that no enemy would dare attack on the other side of the picture are those who be- lieve that the fastest way to beat an enemy is to pitch in wherever he takes advantage of a weaker neighbour as in korea and stamp out the fire before it gets out of control and somewhere in between is the theory advanced by a russianborn faculty member of an american uni versity in a recent edition of readers digest that the states should spark every effort to foment revolution in russia by training spies providing equipment for large groups of antistalin elements in the country propaganda broadcasts telling the russian people that we have no quarrel with the russian people but with the gang of cutthroats who have seized power etc it is a fateful decision which must be made by amer ican leaders and we must put our faith in those who guide world affairs that the proper decision will be arrived at to restore a feartorn world to normal every day american lives are being lost in korea and any day now we may have the war brought closer when the cas ualty lists contain canadian names one cannot fool oneself any fibnger that russia is not at back of all the unrest and world leaders must decide how best to con quer an enemy who has so skilfully covered his first moves that he cannot bebranded the aggressor if the professor knows what he is talking about it is to be hoped that the american government wil give serious consideration to his suggestions we in the free world are becoming resigned to the fact that sooner or later a clash must occur with the russian dictatorship and boring from within could do untold damage to the russian war machine lever and hosion chartered aeeanntanta v succesaors to jenkins and hardy 1805 metropolitan
