PUBLIC HELPS
HOUSTON, Tex. (Hy the Asso
ciated Press). "Tho public Is co
operating more and mora to help
maintain 'truth - In - advertising,' "
Willluni V. Oreon, acting director
ot the national vigilance commit
ted of the Associated Advertising
clubs told the community adver
tising department at the world ad
vertising convention here today.
Outlining the work of tho com
mittee und affiliated better busi
ness bureaus during the past 15
yeurs to eliminate waste in ad
vertising, Mr. Oreen continued:
"In the early days of tho move
ment, we dealt almost entirely
with advertisers. However, tho
need always hns been felt for a
closer relationship with tlft pub
lic because as the advertiser who
is Inclined to misrepresent his
goods comes to learn that tho
public Is watching hltn, ho be
gins to exercise greater caro in
the preparation of his advertising
copy. Likewise, his nsles meth
ods are toned down so that ho
is not so likely to bo open to
the charge of sidling merchandise
under false pretenses.
"Through the appointment of
public relations committees, 0'ir
national and local better business
bureaus are achieving this end.
These, committees Include repre
sentatives from outstanding wom
en's organizations, civic associa
tions, church groups, and oOkt
bodies. When a question comes
up as to the truthfulness of any
statement or practice, tr-,o public
