Just the same, the incident may | cad to a change in laws in the Territory, with ! L limit se > minimum age at which trappers’| permits may be issued ! A New Concept (Cincinnati Enquirer) A new concept of advertising—as a more potent force in democratic expression—is being forged by the circumstances of the age in which we live This concept begins with a basic fact: Advertis- ing is a means, communication, It is fast, and it costs less than any other method The traditional purpose of advertising, of course is to “sell” goods, However, advertising does not actually “sell” goods. It results in sales. It does by informing a great many people about the goods—informing them of the utility and desirabil- ity of the goods—and of these a certain number will have use for the goods at the stated price | Advertising is an informative process, in [ on a mass basis. And this is where it is assuming new and more important usefulness in the | democratic scheme of the modern time, for this is {an era when mass information is of decisive im- | portance. | "™ As noted in a recent discourse by H. A | president of a national advertising agency |ing is playing an increasingly important role in the | shaping of American thought. And, in some in- | stances, its use is strikingly at variance with the traditional concept - of advertising. Thus, during the gasoline shortage along the eastern seaboard. | certain gasoline and oil companies used advertising | asking people in effect to reduce their purchases of words, Batten, advertis- | gasoline as an aid to national defense | Similarly, agencies and organizations pro and |con on various national topics have used advertising | as a means of mass information in behalf of their theories. Advertising is a useful tool for anyone | Who has a case to present, whether it be a case for | commercial, political, or charitable purposes As the functions of democracy grow more com- [ plex, the importance of advertising as the technique | of mass information consequently will increase An Order Obeyed we | Seattle Post-Intelligencer) An item in the underground news that has come cut of Norway since Nazi occupation will in- tere Al who appreciate humor, and especially those of Norwegian descen | The editor of a newspaper in Southern Norway ratched his head. From the Nazi-controlled press bureau in Oslo he had just received a dispatch with rs that it should be “played up” prominently at top of Page 1.

Girls will think |of serious things in the coming year and will be engrossed in high service. The seers stress the need of work for every one who has the good the nation at heart BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This month will bring to the front |many effects due to the priorities Iregulations. There will be unem- | ployment due to lack of raw ma- terials needed in industries con- cerned with civil needs. The smail | manufacturer and the modest mer- will meet severe difficulties will discourage all but the resourceful persons. In the year there will be odd condi-~ tions that develop hardships to men and women of moderate vestments. NATIONAL ISSUES: Unity thought and purpose must distin- |guish citizens of the United States as they meet the need of severe sacrifices. The stars indicate that by subtle and indirect methods |fifth columnists will gain unrecog- |nizable influence which will af- |fect many men and women. The stars today presage much wrong of which most new hension regarding our foreign poli- cies.

HEART AND, HOME: Through | the excitement attending prepara- | tions for the holiday there wiil ;peu:tmu‘ a sense of impending | changes. The seers warn thatsa | wartime psychology must supersede | the peacetime psychology which has | ruled Americans even when de- fense is the major interest. Do~ hmcst‘ life in 1942 will not be the ame as in the past, because of be world conflict which will be more and more.
