Advertising Recognition Week
Add to the already long list of "national weeks'"
another special occasion entitled "Advertising Re
cognition Week." This very week, March 25-31, has
been set aside to call the attention of the public
to the part advertising in its numerous phases has
played In helping make this the greatest nation
on earth. Particularly has this been true in the
development of the West
The first Spanish and English explorers who
visited our western coast were lured by word-of
mouth advertising. In later years advertising
has helped to build the "West far beyond the wild
est dreams of those early explorers.
Advertising first brought people to the West
as visitors, and the West held them as permanent
residents. After the tourist boom, advertising was
used to attract new business to the West. Adver
tising has been a great factor in the development
of the West as the mighty manufacturing, agricul
tural, mining, and recreational area it is today.
Without advertising the products of the West
would not be in constant demand by the nation
and the world.
Without advertising, the West would offer few
er jobs and fewer futures for Americans.
Advertising has helped raise our standards of
living here in America so the work of the house
wife has been tremendously lessened. The strong
advertising emphasis on brand names Eaves a
woman many hours each week when she shops,
and assures her of the finest, tested products.
Public health has been vastly improved, and
much of the credit goes to advertising for dissem
inating information on prevention and cure of
cancer, heart disease, diphtheria and other major
causes of sickness and death.
Advertising through the various media has
become a tremendous educational force in Amer
ica., and the public can be gratified at the close
cooperation advertising has always given the
worthwhile projects of all communities.
Advertising is a subject that would require
volumes to give it adequate discussion, but suf
fice it to say that no movement, no venture, no
project of any type or description can even get
started without advertising in one form or another.
Ears Stopped Up With Pork
Memories are short, says the Industrial News
Review, and facts and figures are easily forgot
ten. The chances are that most Americans have
only a hazy idea of just how much the cost of
their government has risen in the past teh years.
So some figures compiled by the National Small
Business Association should come as a high-voltage
shock.
In 1940, it cost a little more than $75,000,000 to
run the Department of Commerce in 1950 the bill
was $863,000,000.
In 1940, the Department of the Interior lived on
a budget of about $1,385,000. Last year's bill was
close to $588,500,000.
In 1940, the State Department worried along on
less than $21,000,000. In 1950 it managed to get
rid of more than $361,000,000. ... ,
In 1940, the taxpayers supported the Depart
ment of Labor to the tune of some $18,500,000.
Last year the assessment was $257,000,000.
In 1940, it must be remembered, the late Presi
dent Roosevelt had been in office for two terms,
and the government had been greatly expanded,
Yet now. the cost of running the major depart
ments make the 1940 budgets look like peanuts!
The Evening Outlook, of Santa Monica, Calif.,
hit the nail on the head when, after listing these
figures, it said: "If the American people have any
political. intelligence or any sense of their own
self-interest, they will demand an end to the co
lossal extravagance of the Federal government
that is threatening to bankrupt this country ....
The demand must grow in volume and insistence
until it will finally be heard by those legislators
and bureaucrats who hitherto have had their ears
stopped up with pork."
A Home Garden Will Help
Looking a few years back it is easily recalled
that most American families were engaged in
gardening about this time of the yedr. There was
a big shooting war on and food sources were un
certain. People who were not accustomed to put
ting in gardens spaded up lawns, some rented
small tracts, while others struck up deals for
working on a share basis. The result was that
there was no depreciation of food values in the
diet of the American people. The necessary vita
mins were produced in the back yard garden plots.
Once more we are faced with an emergency
and the people are being urged to raise vegeta
bles. From Oregon State College comes a news
release on the subject which is full of valuable
information. It is worthy of passing on to our
readers.
Selection of garden plants now will influence
the nutrition pattern of next summer's meals.
Don't overlook the opprtunity to round out your
home garden so it will furnish as many of your
family's nutritional needs as possible, Miss Mary
Beth Minden, college extension home manage
ment specialist, has suggested. A well planned
garden can furnish almost a half of the food re
quired for a year-long balacned diet.
Dieticians figure the average-size adult re
quires 1,277 pounds of different kinds of food each
year to meet minimum diet requirements. Break
ing the total down, it includes 536 pounds of vege
tables all of which can be grown in a home garden.
Rounding out the "balanced diet," the total
includes 110 pounds of red meat, 32 pounds of
poultry meats, 46 gallons of milk for adults, and
30 dozen eggs among other items such as fats and
cereal products. Too many folks, the home man
agement specialist observes, are strong on meat
or starchy vegetables in their diets and short on
leafy green and yellow vegetables which add
variety and important nutrients.
Still on a pound basis, Miss Minden said the
average adult needs 100 pounds a year of garden
products like tomatoes or cabbage, broccoli, straw
berries and melons which furnish vitamin C Of
course, citrus fruits are included in this group.
In the leafy green or yellow vegetable catagory,
the balanced diet calls for 164 pounds a year. This
group includes such items as carrots, lettuce, peas,
corn and squash.
In the group labeled "other vegetables" the
diet calls for 112 punds a year of such garden truck
as beets, cauliflower, onions, parsnips, turnips
and radishes. The fourth group, potatoes, calls
for a minimum of 160 pounds per year. ,
Many families using canning and freezing
preservation methods, provide their entire year
around vegetable needs. It looks like more of us
will be obliged to raise and preserve vegetables if
our diets are not to suffer.
Trash Cans Not Mere Ornaments
Heppner's streets have been flooded with litter
of one kind or another due to the carelessness of ;
our citizens. To help keep Main street more pre
sentable, business houses backed a project to pro
vide trash cans at convenient locations where
candy wrappers and bags, empty cigarette pack
ages, cigar wrappers, unwanted mail and count
less other items that make litter when carelessly
dropped on the sidewalk could be readily disposed
of. There is little evidence that many of our peo
ple know what the cans are for. Or if they do,
there is a certain resentment in their makeup
which impels them to ignore the opportunity to
cooperate in making the town presentable.
Added to the indifference of the public in gen
eral in cooperating with the city in using the trash
cans, is a certain amount of negligence on the
part of the business houses in disposing of ship
ping cartons and crates which usually contain
packing material. March winds have, brought this
condition forcibly to mind, what with the litter
from the cartons and crates and even the cartons
swirling and tumbling up and down the alleys
and some of it finding its way to Main street
where it joins the other litter in cluttering up the
sidewalks and entrances to stores.
The city is not supplied with funds with which
to keep an adequate force on the street cleaning
department. The few city employes are shifted
from one job to another, giving little time for
sweeping up and hauling away trash. A spirit of
cooperation on the part of the public would make
the job much easier and city officials are desirous
of seeing this done before they have to get a bit
tough. Offenders can be fined for permitting or
being responsible for the scattering of trash and
it has about reached the point where action will
have to be taken if the streets and alleys are to
be kept clean.
