PLEASE BE ON TIME! EDITORIALS The story of false economy This is the story of false economy as practiced by a dress shop which recently closed its doors. Unfortunately, it is too typical. The manager of the dress shop thought that he had an adequate advertising program. His advertising consisted of telephone calls to a list of prospective customers. The calls were made by idle clerks. The manager explained that his advertising was economical because the clerks were not busy otherwise. He also pointed out that a highly successful dress shop in a nearby metropolis used the telephone advertising. There were several important things about his advertising that the merchant never learned before his inevitable quitting business sale. Among them: That the admired metropolitan shop regarded telephone calls as a very minor form of advertising, which supplemented a large and continuous newspaper advertising program; That if an advertising program is suc- - THE PAYSON CHRONICLE Thursday, June 11, 1970 Some Congressmen are waiting in the wings to play good buy roles in the annual one-a- ct comedy entitled Shall the National Debt Ceiling be Raised? Since an earlier estimate of a $1.5 billion federal budget surplus for fiscal 1970 has now been changed to $1.8 billion deficit, the administration has been forced to seek an increase in the debt ceiling. The proposed increase of $18 billion will bring the federal debt ceiling to $395 billion $102 billion higher than the $293 billion limit of 10 years ago. You can expect some impassioned speeches about the dangers of inflation as the debt ceiling question is debated, but it is only part of a show staged for the benefit of overburdened taxpayers. As long as Congress insists on spending more money than the government takes in, an increase in the debt ceiling can hardly be avoided. Just as the credit card holder must eventually pay debts incurred under the travel now and pay later system, so must taxpayers pay for the appropriations voted by Congress. There are other sideshows being staged on the Washington scene which divert attention away from the real cause of excess government spending. inflation Some of the Congressmen who have contributed to the current inflation by adopting big spending bills in past years are now calling for wage and price controls as a means of combating inflation. This is similar to threating the symptoms of a disease rather than the disease itself. Farmers are paying for inflation through high farm production costs. In April, the parity ratio, which reflects the cost of doing business in agriculture fell to 72. This is a drop of 3 percentage points in a month, and the parity ratio has not been lower since the depression thirties. cessful, there are no idle clerks to make telephone calls; That the telephone calls were only reaching five per cent of the women in the local trade area; That a large portion of the women contacted resented being called away from their household chores to listen to a sales talk; That the limited information related over the telephone was promptly forgotten; That, considering the time of the clerks, the calls were costing fifty cents per contact; whereas, complete and more effective contacts could have been made through the local newspaper at less than one-ha- lf cent each.

Well, I finally made the trip to Chicago As I mentioned in an earlier column I had never thought that we would get my mother to consent to fly and I had never had the idea that I would ever get the chance to say yes or no, but things happen funny in life and even though we were nervous and apprehensive we DID fly and we enjoyed it immensely. I didnt want any of the family to go with us to the airport, I felt that if we had any trouble and had to make a crash landing it would be best for them to just read about it and not see it first hand. But I have some family members who are more determined than I am so they were there to bid me farewell and wave at last month. take-of- f.

My sister and I put our mother between us and busied ourselves seeing that all three seat belts were securely fastened. We then hastily read the folders which expalined emergency measures such as directions to exits, activating emergency slides and opening windows as well as position of fire extinguishers etc. Im convinced that the people at the airways have some good ideas. From the moment you get aboard they keep you so busy on little projects such as these that you are hardly aware that you are airborne. Then between the you are kept pilot and the stewardess informed of so many things you dont have much time to worry unless you are really accomplished at it like I am. Before anything else the girls begin to take your orders for soft drinks to go with your lunch and they soon serve the meaL It surprised us that the salads and drinks could be so cold and tasty and the hot foods so hot and attractive. The flight held many surprises as we went along. On our flight they still do allow people to smoke except for take-o- ff and landings. Many companies are in the process of making special areas just for smokers which I think will be wonderfuL Just the other day on TV I heard someone give advice if you are traveling and dont like to have a smoker next to you. The TV personality says that he has the very best answer he knows of when someone says, Do you mind if I smoke?" He says that he looks at them sweetly and says, No, I dont mind if you smoke, if you dont mind if I vomit. Even if I had heard the solution before I took my flight I still probably would have sit quietly and endured the smoke but I know 1 would have at least been tempted to say it. Can you imagine the look on the smokers face who was answered in such a way?? We were really blessed on our flight and according to the stewardess had a very smooth flight. Later in the day a plane landing at the airport lost a wheel. After we landed and got a cab at Chicago we knew what people say when they state that you are safer in the air than on the But thats another story I will highways. tell later. and Mr. Tom Pratt.
