SEC. 2 - PLAINDEALER - JULY 13, 1967 Cost Of Telling Truth ••The cost of telling the truth is less than the cost of lies.. Thus, the president of one of America's largest corporations explains why good advertising is honest and in good taste. He pointed out that a manufacturer often has millions of dollars invested in a new product before it reaches the market. The seller risks this total investment in his advertising. However, the buyer risks only a few dollars when he tries the product. "The basic commandment today in successful advertising is 'Thou shalt not bear false witness.' All sensible advertisers found this put aj long time ago," the executive said. "Naturally, advertising attempts to make itself as attractive as possible. But who would say this is not a desirable attribute as in other things, including women. "As a result, advertising by constantly pointing out a better way of life, has contributed enormously to the tremendous advance in public good taste," he stated. These comments by a major national, advertiser have spe- ; cial meaning when applied to local retail advertising. The local retailer may not have millions of dollars invested in his business. But the risk taken by a local advertiser is a total risk. The integrity and good name of an entire local business is tied to the quality of its advertising. As national advertising is a* mirror of the hopes and aspirations of the nation, local advertising is a mirror of the quality of a community and its units of business. The quality and quantity of local newspaper advertising may indicate to a stranger if a community is a "good place to live." HELPING HAND . . .

It may be swimming weather in most places, but not in Australia, where it is winter time. Tania Verstak, a former "Miss Australia",enjoys the ski slopes at Charlotte Pass in New South Wales. MIC at finally landing the prize catch. Many superb girls like Charlotte may lose their sweetheart because they are so smitten that they can't play the game nonchalantly. So they are afraid to be spunky or defend their ideals lest they lose the boy! It takes courage to win the best boy friends, so don't chicken but! Send for my booklet "Sex Problems of Young People," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. It shows girls how to win without surrendering their ideals. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper , enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) E3 SEEK ZONING CHANGE u A petition has been filed by §pM£orneys Looze and Kinne for Petitioners Michael Paull, Bertha Paull, Ida T. Sauter, and Kenneth Swan.

She showed at the outset that she had surrendered. But boys relish a contest, even in romance! So watch their technique when they go after game fish. Girls, chew them out occasionally, and they'll like you more! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE C-595: Charlotte B„ aged 22, fell in love. "Dr. Crane," "she began, "I think Frank loved me, at least at the' start. "But I was so crazy about him that I tried to do everything possible to please him. "I never disagreed with anything he said but was a mirror of his opinions. "And when he would jilt me, Pd just feel heartbroken, but meekly take it. "So now I find that he is dating another girl who argues with him when he is wrong and scolds him for his mistakes, as if she were his mother. "But he has broken up with me and I fear will soon be engaged to this other girl. Where did I fail?*' FISHING STRATEGY Girls, the average man who goes fishing, doesn't enjoy himself very much if the fish never fight back! For example, if he baits the hook and a fish meekly swallows it but then lets himself be jerked out of the water without any protest, the fisherman grows bored. For the average man relished a contest! He wants a fish to dart hither and yon and to flop out of the water and thai swim in the opposite direction. So you girls should analyze this trait of mankind. Don't be a flabby, spineless type of personality, even though you are ardently in love and want to do what the boy seems to desire. Instead, fight back! Tell him off when he is wrong, for boys may argue and angrily deny the correctness of your views, but secretly they respect you more. For the average boy expects his girl friend to chew him out, as his mother has often done at home. In fact, he is subconsciously looking for a half-mother when he picks a wife. So slap his hands when he gets fresh. And argue with him judiciously. But mix your criticisms with praise via the sandwich method. And one of the most deft forms of compliment is to ask for advice. That makes a boy puff up in his pride. Thereafter he will take a double interest in you, for he will want to find how well his suggestions have worked out. The Bible offers us this psychological strategy, when Christ said: "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." But "treasure" is not merely silver and gold. Instead, our advice or assistance is even more likely to generate future interest in the one who has sought our aid. A clever girl doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve where she shows she is the abject love slave of her escort. Instead, she keeps him guessing! She makes a contest of the OFFICE EQUIPMENT courtship until he feels the 8 by Paul Powell Secretary of State Tin- law requires thai headlights must lie tlinmiiMl within :::><• feet of smother rar. whether that ear is approacliiim from the opposite ilireetimt or is ah-ail of vuu proeeeilihK in the direction you are It must he obvious t.< everyone by now win lliis is require)! for appronehiiiK vehicles, lirijiht lights on an approaching ear can virtually blind a driver to tile point where lie'cannot see either the edge of the road or the dividing line in the center, nor can he determine whether there are any obstacles directly ahead.
