Editor and PublUher (Entered at lecond class matter November 19, 1944 at the postoiL's at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 3, 1897. MEMBER: Utah Slate Presi Association Subscription Rales: One year, in advance . $3 00 'BAD TIME' STORY Early in August the Orem Geneva Times received an insertion order from a concern in Lincoln, Nebraska, for a one-quarter page advertisement. The ad listed many items for sale at below price and requested cash with orders. . As a protection to the paper, its advertisers, and subscribers, sub-scribers, the Orem-Geneva Times withheld publication of the advertisement pending an investigation of the concern placing the ad and the retail value of the merchandise mer-chandise advertised therein; 12 quart pressure cooker ' at 63.95; 37-piece dinnerware set at $4.50, etc. Reports by Dunn and Bradstreet, the Utah State Press Association, and the National Editorial Association showed that no firm could be found at the address given, nor could any other trace be uncovered. Warning, bulletins bull-etins were issued by NEA and various state press groups. ' , On August 11 a 19-year old youth showed up at the Lincoln post office to pick up the mail. He was arrested and charged with fraudulent use of the mails. The lad had mailed 12,000 insertion orders to newspapers news-papers in every state (including other Utah newspapers). newspap-ers). Statements from papers running the ad amounted to $1,192. Several newspapers ran the ads without checking. As a result, approximately $3,000 contained in letters piled up at the post office in answer to the advertising. ad-vertising. ' We thought that our hardworking local businessmen would appreciate knowing about our efforts to protect them from not only unfair, but dishonest competition. And most assuredly, we are glad we were able to keep our loyal subscribers from being 'taken' by offers of such low priced merchandise which never existed. JUNE 25 BIRTHDATE We take pleasure in recalling June 25, 1950. It may become an important date. On that date, within 24 hours of the time fighting started in Korea, the UN Security Council had met, ordered ord-ered a cease fire, and asked member nations to "render every assistance" in securing a North Korean retreat. Few. delegates realized they had authorized military intervention. "Every assistance" was a routine phrase, but almost instantly the UN had an army, an air force, a navy and over 50 nations morally committed to fighting fight-ing for freedom even in far-away places. It may well be that the type of international order which the League of Nations sotfght back in 1918 and which the UN has been striving for since its establishment, establish-ment, was born on June 25. Today the UN has taken its place as the world's strongest bulwark against tyranny the same UN which Senator Watkins referred to last year as "hopelessly floundering." Much depends upon the outcome of the Korean war, but it must go down in history as a turning point. It brought into being the United Nations as a military entity. en-tity. Few, we suspect, in the years to come, will dare to challenge its might. THE LION'S SHARE The advertising bill of ithe nation last year amounted to $5,202,000,000, according to the annual estimate of,. Printers" Ink, a publication devoted to the printing industry. in-dustry. Newspapers, as one might suspect, had ithe largest single share of the total investment, $1,74',600,000, or about one third. The total for radio was estimated at $617,100,000 and that for magazines, of all kinds, at $512,700,000. We pass no special comment on the figures, but the advertiser who want3 to get the most for his money can judge their importance for himself.
