The first definition was written by Webster (not the senator, the gentleman who wrote a dictionary) The other concepts are the result of a rash of lampoonery of advertising which, while some of it may contain a grain of truth, looks to me like biting the hand that is not feedskull-dugger- y ing you.

It Is not directed primarily to the people without homes, without nurses, it is directed to the persons and organizations who can help bring these facts home to the general public to you. It is an ad written by and about the Advertising Council, concerning an operation of which almost everybody is conscious but about which few people know the details. It is an operation based on giving away what the givers ordinarily sell advertising space, advertising ideas, advertising copy. It answers the question: "Why doesn't some- body DO something0" The reply is it's given in works as well as words "Somebody IS." The council grinds nobody's axe except yours, the public's, seeks no profits, asks no expense account, has only one objective: To make America a still better place than it already is. The Advertising Council was born a week after Pearl Harbor when Donald Nelson, about to take over chairmanship of the war production board, called in a group of advertising executives and discussed with them what the average citizen could do to help victory and incidentally, what would make him do it. Now you .are reading and hearing the results of the council's peacetime efforts they are embodied in the various forms of advertising of many firms, as spots on the radio, many other places. The council Is providing suggestions, ideas, radio fact sheets and other material to members of business firms, unions, civic groups and other citizens who can put that tremendous power, advertising, to work personalizing big national problems. 7 'X ?k T9 If , - ... is A scene dear to the hearts of NOSTALGIC SCENE are Fercherons three These mares of at that the watering trough. who will be rounded up from farms typical of the many at the National Percheron show to U.

In its announcement, the state department said that special items, such as medical supplies and foodstuffs for particular groups, could be supplied Poland through private relief agencies and other organizations. The announcement added: "In view of the above and of the fact that funds available are sufficient to meet only the most urgent relief needs, it has been decided not to undertake a relief program for Poland." Next on the list, according to indications, might be Hungary, where better crop prospects are in sight. The state department said that the decision to cut off relief to Poland was based entirely on the relative needs of European countries. No official comment was made on the fact that Poland is well within the Soviet sphere of influence and that Hungary is definitely Communist-dominate- NEW SPLIT: Peace Treaty "the big shots in Washington," but toapparently held no animosity the President. ward Later, he was sent to a Washington hospital for observation.

In addition, it may delay indefinitely work on a peace treaty for Japan which, the United States contends, is an absolute necessity if the conquered nation is to get back on its economic feet. American proposals for beginning the task of writing a treaty on August 19 were turned down by Moscow on the grounds that the U. S. was attempting to act unilaterally and without having made with any previous agreements Great Britain, China or Russia. Major question now facing the United States and other nations interested in making progress on a Far East peace settlement is whether to go ahead with the writing of the Japanese peace treaty without Russia. derricks because what was once an important agricultural area re. cently has come to be an even more vital source of petroleum.
