But other political parties, alive to the vote-gaining possibilities of such a battle cry. are busy trying ta make price control a national issue. Behind this demand, giv- ing it iJs strength. there is the housewife with ber ev~r present problem ai bow to make both ends meet. Her point is reason- able. She bas to feed a family with prices cantinually skyrocket- i g and the chief offender amang tbem is 'foad-wbich is natural as it is the une absolute necessity -so, naturally, she wants iood prices controlled. That brings us right back to the primary food producer, tbe farmer. Well, just recently be hasn't been doing badly. Some people think be bas been doing far too well. They don't remem- ber that he is enjaying. a couple of fairly fat years after dozens of very lean ones. They don't recognize either that the base years on whîch the index is fig- ured were among the leanest of those years and it would take a sizable percentage gain just to get bis bead above water.

Valuabie Service There is no method of exactly computing the value of classified advertis~ig. It may be worth much to a family seeking a lost dog. It can mean a great deal to the owner of an automobile for sale. It can be tremendousiy important to those seeking living accommodations. These cataiogued items mean~ much to the farmer with live- stock for sale, the small business- man with wood for sale, the man who wishes to place before a large number of potentially interested people, a sound message at a minimum in cost. Grows Like Seed One smali advertisement in the ciassified section of a news- paper is like a seed. This grows by leaps and bounds as eacb reader scans the "want ad" sec- tion. The growth can only be measured by resuits obtained. The Statesman empioys cour- teous. interested staff members anxious ta help plant these seeds. It is their job to help design mes- sages calling attention to goods, services for sale or rent. The Familiar Victim e e- Me who Is suent is forgotten; He who abstains is taken at his word; Me who does not advance fails back, ceases to grow greater, becomes smaller; He who leaves off gives Up, The stationary condition is the beginning of ~lxe end.
