We can't lie. A recent study showed that more people feel newspaper is the most believable medium. Not television. Not radio. Not magazines. But why? It's probably because we know that a newspaper lays it all out in black & white. Right in front of you. The places, the people and the prices. The offers, the promises and the claims. It's all there to read, think about and keep. And all that goes for the advertisements, too. When people turn to their paper, they turn there with interest. Which means that's where your advertising message mes-sage needs to be. With all the choices available, it's difficult deciding how best to advertise your business. But everything becomes remember one rule. Vernal Ashley Valley Education Center's Day Care children thank Glenna Murray of Intermountain Concrete for their new playground sand.

Boy's Life in touch with children and teens During the early 1900s there wasn't half the problems that are going on in the world today. "There is enough bad stuff going around," said Vernal's Boy Scout district executive, ex-ecutive, Paul Hitchcock. "Our youth need some positive influences." influ-ences." Bob Greene wrote a column in the Chicago Tribune on Feb. 20, 1994 encouraging Boy Scouts and their parents to subscribe to a magazine that he felt "could help curb an increasingly violent, uncaring, uncar-ing, crude and cynical world. It may not do everything, "but it might at least help a little." On the cover of the current issue is a photograph of a boy and girl celebrating 85 years of good reading. read-ing. It is noticibly dissimilar to other magazines geared to the needs and desires of children and teenagers. The incentive of other magazines, it seems, is to be gritty, rough and unrelenting in their ideas of society's woes. It's tough to be a kid in the 90s and they don't need to be reminded of this every time they pick up a magazine. It trudges into entities such as masters of Invention: the wonder workers and how their computers changed the way kids, as well as adults, work and play. The reader will doubtless wander into vacation spots such as an article arti-cle entitled, "Summer Splashdown." where there are tales of rides on the wild slides in America's top waterparks. For example ex-ample a young man sitting in an inner in-ner tube atop a 75-foot tower at Seven Peaks Water Park in Provo. These water-soaked playgrounds splash thrills and chills with waterfalls, water-falls, waves, tube rides and slides.

"Published by the Boy Scouts of America, Boys Life began March 1, 1911, with feature articles such as "Knots Worth Knowing," "How Not to Get Lost," how to build an igloo plus some action packed fiction. By the Turn of the Century amazing amaz-ing things were happening: 1908 - Henry Ford sold the horse-less carriage, The Model T, for S850. 1910 - The Boy Scouts of America was founded. 1911 - The first cross-country flight, in 82 hours, 4 minutes, followed fol-lowed just eight years after the Wright brothers took wing at Kitty Hawk. 1911 - New Mexico and Arizona asked to be admitted to the United States of America. 1912 - They got it, becoming our 47th and 48th states. During this time Americans escaped es-caped to entertainment. Kids and adults alike enjoyed everything from the comic Keystone Kops, to vaudeville skits, to newsreels. Kids bought books in a big way, too. In April 1911 advertisements offered the best-selling Border Boys series and Log Cabin to the White House series at 50 cents each; and a 40 cent book called "Scouting for Boys," by Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the worldwide Scouting movement. Then there was the five cent bargain called Boy's Life. "The ideas have continued for 85 years," said Hitchcock "And it will no doubt continue for another 85 years." f : L Paid Political Advertisement |
