Nothing along that line has bewildered me quite as much as a press release someone passed along to me recently. It was captioned thusly: "BRAB announces appoint ment of Ad Hoc Committee on performance characteristics of sanitary plumbing fixtures." A caption like that doesn't just grab your attention. It seizes your attention with a Oak Knoll DINING ROOM & LOUNGE THANKSGIVING MENU Turkey... Prime Rib...

When l had recovered my equilibrium, 1 came to grips with two piercing questions: (1) Who, or what, is "BRAB?" and (2) How does an Ad Hoc Com mittee go about determining whether sanitary plumbing fix tures are performing character istically? For instance, some of the san itary plumbing fixtures at my place will occasionally stop up and at other times overt low. But I haven't the vaguest no tion as to which of these per formances is characteristic. Seeking enlightenment, I plunged into the text of the press release where I learned that "BRAB" is the abbrevia tion of the Building Research Advisory Board of the National Academy of Sciences. On the second point, however, the release was something less than lucid. It said merely that "the committee's work will be mtde possible by joint government-industry support." Then it added that "with such support, BRAB will be able to bring to bear, on the problems of identifying and measuring physical and functional charac teristics essential to the per formance of sanitary ptumhing fixtures, fee CTEMi know ledge of governm-ecA. tD&nriiL. and academic scwcescs isd en gineers." By the time I Enscmi read ing that, I was tbijrrorfily alarmed. BRAB efrrj.naix was dealing with prabtaa of the first magnitude. Aoi ret there was scarcely a hint ss to its nature. Fighting off panic, I called a chap in the informatioa office of the National Academy of Sci ence and asked him to tell me all he could about it without vio lating security. He replied that he had not been completely briefed but un derstood it had something to do with a reluctance on the part of builders to accept new develop ments in sanitary plumbing fixtures. That relieved my anxiety somewhat, but whetted my cur iosity. I am determined to get to the bottom of this, and when I do I'll let you know. John Snider, recently returned from a tour of Italy, spoke be fore the Rotary Club of Med ford at its regular meeting Tues day noon at the Rogue Valley Country Club. "One can't become an expert after spending three weeks in Italy, but I would like to present my personal impressions gath- 3red during my stay there," he iaid. Snider pointed out that Italy is about half the size of Cali fornia with about 2 times as many people. He described the past 20 years in Italy as an "industrial revolution." Politically, Snider pointed out, there are nine parties. "The if WsSw1 - .as - - v . - I . Ur , ? I .... ' i irfitml"; ,traif-ifi-Mj leading party is the Christian Democrats and one out of four voted Communist in the last election. However," he said. "anyone with a grievance against the government votes Communist." In describing the Communist Party in Italy, he referred to it as "A state within a state. A target of the Communists in Italy is a red ward for every church steeple, Snider said, "The Communists are creating a new image a party of the Italian nation a party that wants, defends and fosters Democracy," he pointed out. "But, all major policy decisions on such things as Cuba, Disarm ament and Berlin reflect the Moscow line." The biggest Communist growth is north of Rome and more than half of the WHITE HOUSE LADIES These are the new ladies of the White House.

Other areas of Italian life Wat Snider discussed were amuse ments, telephone and tele graph, the town and buildings, the schools, the drivers of Italy and the language. Conveys Greetings The Rotary Club of Alba, Italy, asked Snider to convey to the Medford club its "warm est greetings." Snider was a guest at the Alba Rotary meet ing which he defined as com posed of members, "very repre sentative of the leading citi zens." The president of the Alba Rotary Club is Alberto Coppo. Some observations noted by Snider were: "There are only two Al Capones in the Rome phone book," "In England a bookie is called 'a turf ac countant' and a garbage col lector is called a 'kitchen-waste contractor," "there is also a burlesque in London called 'My Bare Lady'." Also Have Problems "In conclusion," Snider said, "seeing Italy was like seeing a still picture suddenly come to life. The people are warm, friendly, modest, sincere and hard working. They, too, have problems resulting from too much happening too soon. I am certain that our friendship is welcomed and perhaps we are going to be able to accomplish more at the people-to-people level than we are in any other way.

Riverside - Phone 773-5474 WHERE EVERYBODY MEETS" 99 Million Consumers Read a Daily Newspaper Each Weekday These readers make up the largest audience available to any advertiser in any medium. A recent study of this national newspaper audience shows that it in cludes 80 percent of all men and women over 21 . . , and 72 per cent of all teen agers, age 15 and over. This huge and consistent readership can be depended upon by advertisers because the daily newspaper is a habit with most people . . . an established part of their everyday lives. For the national advertiser, this amounts to almost the total market for any product. For the local advertiser, this massive readership symbolizes the local reach of his own local newspaper - into almost 9 out of 10 homes every day. No matter what the product or service an advertiser wants to sell, more people can read about it in the pages of the daily newspaper.
