A prolessor of mine many years ago was once criticized by a
SE C T IO N NO. 3440
feminine student because she found some of the assigned reading
to in indecent and shocking". At the time I thought his answer
a very wise one when he responded with "If a
person is looking for sex, he can find it anywhere—
even in a Montgomery Ward catalog.
However, if my old professor is living today,
he will have to swallow those words because Mont­
gomery Ward in its fall catalog has removed all
sex.
It seems that some research man made the
depressing discovery that lovely limbs in sheer
hose and curvaceous cuties in gripping girdles,
while perhaps eye-catching, did nothing whatso­
ever to increase the sale of those articles. As a
result came the tradition shattering decision to
display feminine attire minus its usual interior
adornment.
Now I am fully aware that big business is primarily interested
in making lots of money and that beauty for beauty’s sake is
entirely out of it’s line of thinking. Nevertheless, after studying
the decision in all its aspects, I have come to the conclusion that
Montgomery Ward has dealt the most deadly blow to recreational
reading since the advent of indoor plumbing.
Referred to in some areas as the ‘‘sheepherders’ bible’’ and in
others as the poor man’s Esquire”, the bulky mail order catalog
has for decades enjoyed a prominent place, and rightfully so, in
the leisure time activity of the huge American public. From the
little one in the family, who cut out the pretty ladies to use as
dolls, to the lonely bachelor, too timid for burlesque, who would
gaze for hours at page after page of innocent beauty, the catalog
came into its own as the most widely studied publication in the
United States.
’
I fear for the results of the company’s drastic move. I am
afraid that its vast horde of former readers will now be forced to
go to the modern magazine where women posed in various degrees
of nudity will have motives far removed from that of selling an
article for $3.98.
Third quarter apportionment of
motor vehicle receipts is being
made to Oregon counties this
week by the accounting depart­
ment of the secretary of state.
The amount of money to be di­
vided among the counties totals
$2,510,073.62, according to Secre­
tary of State Earl T. Newbry.
Funds for the distribution are
based upon a 19 percent share
of $13,210,913.81. collected by the
state in motor vehicle registra­
tions. fuels tax, carrier fees and
lines. Shares of the apportionment
to the counties is determined by
the number of motor vehicles reg­
istered in each county as shown
by a 1951 census. The hint quar­
ter distribution is more than
$500,000 larger than the second
quarter which totaled $2,001,-
719.60, Newbry states.
