ve 2 Love or Wealth Member of Association » The Canadian Weekly Newspapers ~ NOTES AND COMMENTS Miss Tanburn," a Vassar student, faces a difficult decision' before the end of this month. ' She must decide whether she will - marry the man she loves 'and to whom she is engaged or accept a.bequest from her great. grandfather, Abraham S. Rosenthal, of $10,000 cash and & $6,500 annual income © for life. . She saerifices the inheritance if she marries anyone other than a member of the Jewish faith and of Jewish blood. The man to whom she is engaged is a. gentile. * A judge has ruled that this is a valid condition of the will. With this we can . hardly agree since scientifically there is no such thing as Jewish blood! Jews are not a race but a culture. - We are rather sur- prised that in a country as enlightened as the United States a judge allowed: such a statement to go unchallenged. No Substitute ~ Howard S. "Mark, vico-presidént of the Robert Simbpson Company, in a speech to the Association of Canadian Advertisers during their convention in Toronto, May 7, 1953, said that newspaper advertising has no effective substitue. He described such advertising as the. 'big gun' while direct mail was simply 'rifle fire'! He stated with emphasis that any mer--.. chant who depends upon direct mail. ad- vertising when he should be using news- "paper advertising will surely lose sales, if not his shirt. He concluded with the as- surance that the Robert Simpson Company _ felt that no medium could take the place of the newspaper "when it came to getting: = results. Perhaps, there is some reason for this and here a little Psychology might help us wens However, the condition stands and the decision must be made. What Miss Tan- burn. will do has not been made publig. What she decides is also her own personal business. We. carinot help feeling tht a person who makes such a will has an unhealthy attitude towards people, ~ To-day when the _ world is so béset with the evils arising out of racial discrimination and prejudice such dispensation of willed estates can do no good. - Abraham Rosenthal has delivered in his will-a double insult -- firstly to his . own integrity as a human being; secondly to people outside the Jewish culture, and furthermore he has placed his grand- daughter ina delemma which might well ruin her life and those associated with her. Where a will works a public mischief there is little reason for upholding it in law. Direct mail advertising invades your privacy; is too insistent; and leaves you somehow with: the feeling that the firm is begging. your business, antagonizes the person it seeks to inter- est. Radio advertising. is, in-the main, _ just plain huckstering and has become downright annoying. However, with the newspaper there is an impersonal but direct presentation of your sales story; you are free to take it or leave it; it is dependable and permits reflection. Too often, it _ oa All these thing serve to make it the least-- obnoxious and therefore the most efficient form of advertising. You can't sell goods by building up sales resistance; you can -sell-by advertising - in-the-newspaper-and that's the main thought that Mr. Mark wanted to leave with Canadian advertisers that they might pass it on to Canadian "to persons who will build. ~ much building in recent ycars.

This represents the greatest amount borrowed during any twelve month period since the in- ception of the Act. The increase over the corresponding period of 1951 is nearly 13 million dollars.

The dollar volume of - 'these loans amounts bo $3563,640,000. At the end of 1962, farmers had re- paid 65,3 per gent of this accumulated total. TY Claims paid to the banks for losses amounted to $12,153, an increase of nearly six thousand dollars over 1961. 'So far no accurate estimate of a fu- ture loss ratio can" be predicted; but at the end of 1962, losses represented 01 per cent of the amount lent during seven years operation, As in preceding years by far the greatest amount borrowed was by farmers in_ the Prairie Provinces. . Roughly 74 per cent of the ninety- eight million obtained last year was in this area. However, marked per- centage increases. were. recorded. in the Maritimes, and when cognizance is taken of the farming population and the value of the farms, the increase is significant. Ontario and British Col- umbia showed a slight increase, while Quebee farmers borrowed approxi- mately one million dollars more than in 19561. The Farm Improvement Loans Act enables farmers to borrow money for a wide variety of purposes, including the purchase of farm implements, ~ livestock, financing of farm buildings, and the clearing and breaking of land, Mechanization still remains the prime concern of farmers. Loans for machines purchased last year totalled $90,818,000. This is 92 per cent of the accumulated total for all purposes combined. The number of loans for construc- tion, repair and alteration of farm buildings showed a slight over 1951, Loans for new houses numbered 563, for repairs to existing buildings, 1,326, and for utility build- ings such -as sheds and barns, 1,034. Farmers in the West constructed the largest number of houses, while On- tario led in loans for the other two classifications, . _ Both the number of loans andthe amount borrowed for livestock in- creased-during the past year. Ontario farmers borrowed nedrly one million dollars for this purpose, followed by Alberta and Quebec. A decrease was expected for livestock loans, due to the cattle embargo and lower. beef prices, but farmers are apparently con- fident of a stable future market. Loans for clearing and breaking in- creased over 1061. There we loans granted: totalling $495,867. The Jand broken amounted to 45,188 acres, an increasé of over eight thousand | - acres from the preceding year. Near- ly all breaking was done in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. » increase: (formerly of Cooper-Smith Co.) rr ---- 'Mr. and Mrs, Geo.
