Advertising Talk By Dr. Hawkins At Rotary Club
Dr. Harry L. Hawkins, Professor of Psychology at DePauw University, spoke on "Advertising: Its Past. Present and Future’’ at this week's Rotary Club luncheon. Advertising is a very important part of the American competitive economy and will continue to have a heavy impact on the public in the future. Advertising is big business running to about nine billion dollars in 1960 and climbing to thirteen billion in 1963 with an estimated increase to about fifteen billion in 1965. The present cost of advertising is about sixty-four dollars per capita in the United States. The largest advertiser in this country is the General Motors Corporation spending about 125 million dollars last year to promote GM products. Old as well as new products are brought to the attention of the public by means of television, radio, newspapers, magazines and many other advertising media. Only about eight per cent of the new products advertised gain what is considered to be a successful market volume in any one year. The advantages claimed for advertising are: the public becomes better informed, it aids in allowing comparison of similar products and it makes possible the purchase of a product without the intrusion of a salesman. It provides radio and television entertainment which probably could not be financed without the income from advertising. Certain disadvantages are claimed by some circles such as: advertising creates a demand cn some persons who cannot afford to buy the product and who go deeply in debt to buy, advertising is said to be the device of the larger producer and not of the small producer, advertising is sometimes misleading or even fraudulent which is said to be true of less than one per cent of the total volume of advertising. Present-day advertising is a more positive approach than it has been in the past. Sure-fire advertising themes include catering to peoples needs and desires, appealing to the benefits for children, talking in terms of a bargain and relief and comfort from physical ills. In the future, there will probably be more advertising based on the above appeals. This means money will be spent to promote products, increasing sales volume and thus affecting all areas of the American econ-
omy.

Trio Sentenced To Reformatory Three young men appeared in Putnam County Court before Judge Francis N. Hamilton on Tuesday. When arraigned, all three entered pleas of guilty to escaping from the Indiana State Farm. The three were Malcolm Yount. 22, Brown County; William R. Larrison, Jr., Coatesville Route 1; and Robert Lawson. 19, Indianapolis. Judge Hamilton sentenced each to serve 1-5 years in the Indiana State Reformatory at Pendleton. 200 Added To Miss. Patrol Mississippi, preparing for racial strife this summer as an expected center of civil rights demonstrations, has moved to add 200 men to its state highway patrol and to sharply curtail picketing. The Mississippi House of Representatives Thursday passed a bill increasing the highway patrol from 275 to 475 men. and a bill that bans picketing that would impede the normal use of sidewalks, streets and entrances to state buildings and courthouses was sent to Gov. Paul B. Johnson for his signa-
ture.
Home Fire Is Fatal To Four RUSSELLVILLE, Ohio UPI —Three children and an elderly woman were killed Thursday night by a fire at their home near this rural southern Ohiv/
town.
The victims were identified as Elizabeth Ann Perkins, 2; John Phillip. 18 months, and Betty, six months, and Grace Perkins, 64, apparently their grandmother. The father. Roy Perkins. 38. was injured, but the mother escaped injury. Officials said the victims died of asphyxiation. Cause of the blaze was not determined. Speicher Works Go On Exhibit The first showing of 94 original works by the late Eugene Speicher will be held at DePauw University, beginning Sunday, April 5. The Speicher drawings, loaned to DePauw for the exhibit by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, will remain on exhibition at the university Art Center until May 5. One of America's most successful portrait painters. Speicher in his lifetime had one-man shows in every European country except Sweden. New York bom and educated, he studied with Robert Henri and George Bellows before launching foreign study in the galleries of Paris, London. Holland, Germany, Italy and Spain. By 1920 he was well on his way to eminence in the art world with his vital, noble figure drawings that won for him numerous awards and prizes. His paintings now are owned by at least 27 American museums Speicher was a member of the Academy of Arts and Letters, an organization of 50 members whose purpose is to further the interests of literature and the fine arts in the United States. Among Academy members who helped celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1954 were such men as Thornton Wilder, John Dos Passes, Carl Sandburg, and Archibald MacLeish.
Many Assist In Red Cross Drive For the past several weeks multiple disasters besieging the country have resulted in an intensified call for help from the victims. All concerned have learned that the place to direct such pleas is with the American Red Cross. While Red Cross trained personnel heads emergency relief operations in the Ohio River Valley flood area, provides shelter and canteen service for firefighters and evacuees in the Los Angeles brush fires, and heads north to the Alaskan earthquake scene, volunteers on the home front are busy solicting dollars to replace those that are being poured into disaster areas. Even Red Cross disaster teams cannot provide emergency relief without the help of the military, civic organizations. and sundry volunteers, but it is their business to be on hand with the "knowhow” to do the most good in disaster situations. That is why the Red Cross “ready-to-go” service is a first thought in such emergencies. Inclemate weather has slowed many Putnam County workers in their solicitation. However, in this area too. the Red Cross has the help of many volunteers. Although all township chairmen have not sent their list of workers to the Red Cross office, those names which have been reported are, Greencastle City, Mmes. Mace Aker, Joseph Altlee. Harold Brown, Frank Bundy, Mary Bittles. and Misses Patty Battain and Grace Browning. Also, Mmes. Arthur Carkeek. W, H. Barrett. John Childs, Cedrick Collins, Charles Crawley, Raymond Churchill, Howard Brackney, Ernest Collins, and Miss Sue Cooksey. Mmes Ben Dean. Julia Deem, Russell Dozier. Robert Eppelheimer, Julius Edmonds, Norman Donelson, Cal Foxx. John Garl, James Headley, Donald Gobert, and Mr. Morris Hunter. Others: Mmes. Richard Judy, Cecil Justus, A. G. Jeffers, Velma Hedrick, James Knauer, Grafton Longden.. Jr.. Elmer E. Lewis, George Leisure, W. Lee Masten, Ned McPhail Foster, McClure. Donald Mundy, Patrica Miles. Joseph McCord, K.B. McKee. James Madison, and Miss Gladys Harlan. On the list of Red Cross workers in the city also are: Mmes. J. H. Stephens, Frank Nagley, Hubert Smaltz, Jencie Scott, Ralph Ton*. Robert Jackson, Marvin Walbring. Larry Sutton, Donald Pitts. Bobby Trail, Louis Williams, Gordon Sayers. Ellen Reed. Robert Shedd, Harold Stewart, John Ricketts. Robert Williams. Lavon Strange. Charles White, Jr., Andrew Zeller, and N. R. Pelfrey. Also: Messrs. Elmer Sellers, Paul Sims, Arve! Roach, and Misses Helen Werneke, Mildred Sinclair, Mmes. Anna Selecman, and Forrest Wildman. In Jackson township Mrs. Donald Crosby has reported as her helpers: Mr. and Mrs. Fayte Edwards, Mrs. Walter Woods, and Mrs. Gene via Bock. Madison township residents will give their contributions to: Mmes. William Rowings, George Adamson. Everett Harrison. A. T. Atwell. Dale Pierce, William Knauer, Sr, Robert Burks, Larry Torr. and Earl E. Evens. Sees Bloodshed If Bill Passes WASHINGTON UPI — A southern opponent of the civil rights bill said today that passage of the measure would be “likely to cause more bloodshed” than its defeat. Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D-La, took issue with Sen. Wayne Morse. D-Ore.. who said that failure to enact the Housebill would mean “the flow of great quantities of human blood.” Morse told the Senate Thursday that there would be "racial demonstrations which will shock not only this country but the entire world” unless the bill is enacted. But Ellender told a reporter today that approval of the bill would be more likely to bring bloodshed than its defeat.

Pierre Is Host LOS ANGELES UPI —Former Presidential Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, a gourmet of renown wall launch his campaign for the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator Saturday in Fresno, Calif., at an event billed as “A Picnic with Pierre." Group Studies Aid For Alaska WASHINGTON UPI — The special presidential commission studying Alaska’s earthquake damage is mapping plans to reconstruct the state's facilities with an eye to the future needs. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, DN. M.. chairman of the commission, discussed the plans with newsmen Thursday after the cabinet-level group met with President Johnson at the White House. Anderson said he believed the federal government should “liberalize” rules for granting disaster relief. But he indicated doubt that the panel would favor direct federal grants, instead of easy-term loans, to victims. The goal is to start fresh and build better facilities rather than merely restore buildings, streets, homes and docks as they were before the Good Friday disaster, Anderson said. “We want to make sure that what we spend money on is not necessarily what was there before, but what will be needed for the future,” he explained. Anderson said the commission would meet in Washington next week with a similar state group set up by Gov. William Egan of Alaska. The meeting probably will be held Tuesday or Wednesday.
Tom Webb Writes His Cousin From Alaska Telling Quake Experience
The following letter was received by Tom Webb from his cousin Stephen Webb from Cohoe, Alaska describing his experience during the Earth Quake. (Stephen Webb is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Noble W. Webb former resident of Putnam County and who is a commercial salmon fisherman). Dear Tom, Today we got off from school at 1:30 p.m. since it was Good Friday. Since I didn't have anything else to do, and we’ve had about lig ft. of snow lately, I decided to do some shoveling on our driveway. By 5:15 I was more than halfway through Around 5:30 I felt the ground starting to shake. I’d felt earth quakes before but nothing comparable to this. I looked toward the house and it was shaking so bad that I thought it would cave in any minute. I could hear the screams of mv sisters from inside but they weren’t inside very long. Only about a split second my Mom was out, next and then my Dad. The trees were bending so bad that it looked like they were all going to snap at once. The ground was cracking all over and any minute I expected a huge crevasse to open and swallow me up. There really wasn’t any cracks in the ground around here las far as I know) but it sounded like it was cracking. Finally I Susan and Shelle ran clear over to our neighbors, Shelle in her stocking feet. Susan at least had her shoes on. I’ve never been so scared in my life. We were still feeling a few tremors. The whole thing lasted about 6 or 7 minutes. Some of these things seem pretty stupid
to do but when you’re scared you’ll do anything. The electricity was out for a while but came on again in a few hours. I think Anchorage got hit quite a bit worse. We’ve been listening to the radio all night and it sounds like a real mess up there. After the Quake, I kept hearing explosions from all directions. Our neighbor, Archie Ramsell. heard them also. I don't know what they were from but I got some pretty wild ideas. In Anchorage, there is a lot of damage. They say this was an 8.6 earthquake. The San Francisco earthquake was 8.3. On the radio we’ve heard there is at least 6 dead so far but possibly 10 times that many. About the only thing that kept this from being as bad (damagewise) as the San Francisco earthquake is fire. (I am speaking of damage in Anchorage). Now I hear though, that a fire has broken out. The damage will run into the millions I guess. One house in Anchorage, or several fell into a chasm. Others went off a bluff. There is a 30 ft. drop on 9th Ave. and other business establishments were greatly damaged or were practically leveled. Everybody wants to know if their friends or relatives are safe. One man lost two children when his house went over a bluff. Even Boy Scouts are helping with the hurt, so I hear. In Seward two people were lost when they ivere standing on a pier when a tidal wave struck. In Valdez they had a worse tidal wave. The last I heard two people were dead and
26 missing.

Douglas MacArthur from the onslaught of uremic posioning. The 84-j’ear-old General of the Army, who slipped a little Thursday in his fight for life, is being gradually infected with wastes his kidneys fail to flush from his body. The old soldier has undergone three major abdominal operations since entering Walter Reed Army Medical Center on March 2. A hospital spokesman attributed MacArthur’s stamina “to his heart, his constitution and his will to live.” The general was conscious, although under sedation. Physicians resorted to transfusions and peritoneal dialysis to take over the kidney function of cleansing the system of impurities. The procedure involves two small incisions in the abdomen A tube containing flushing solution is inserted in the higher incisions and attached to the kidneys, while a second tube in the lowar opening provides drainage. Anti-Reds Make Many Arrests RIO DE JANEIRO UPI — The anti-Communist generals who overthrew President Joao Goulart were reported today to be carrying out large-scale arrests to rid the government and unions of his supporters. At the same time, the generals were expected to use the threat of imprisonment to make sure the leftist former president gets out of Brazil. Authorities were on the lookout for extreme leftist leader Francisco Juliao, whose landgrabbing “peasant leagues" have been active in northeastern Brazil. Juliao was last reported in Brasilia, but is believed to have left that city and is not known to have returned to his usual haunts in Pernambuco State. Putnam Court Notes Eva Josephine Moore vs. Orrin Franklin Moore, suit for divorce and custody of three minor children. Lyon & Boyd are attorneys for the plaintiff.
NEW CASTLE UPI — Two thunderstorms with tornadolike winds struck the New Castle area today, injuring at least one person and destroying two mobile homes. Authorities said one storm hit Smitty’s Trailer Camp at the northwest edge of the city, destroying two trailers and overturning another. Mrs. Ruth Ann Strough, 45, w’ho lived in one of the trailers, w’as injured and hospitalized. She was not believed to be in serious condition. Another storm hitting with tornado-type force struck 3 or 4 miles northeast of here, destroying a bam and causing other damage. At the height of the storm one witness described the deluge of rain as “a solid sheet.”
Heavy snow and strong winds buffeted the Northern Rockies today and closed highways in Wyoming. Violent hail storms and near-tornado winds lashed the Midwest Thursday night. Snow piled 9 inches deep at Casper, Wyo., and blocked the main highways leading north and south out of the city. Somo motorists were reported stranded by the blowing, drifting . now but all were rescued. The storm also blocked roads between Riverton and Lander, Wyo., where 5 inches of snow fell in a few hours during the night. Icy northern winds gusting at 40 miles an hour whipped snow into the air at Cheyenne, Wyo., and cut visibility to a half mila at Akron. Colo. Stockmen's warnings were posted for most of the Northern Rockies southeastward into Arizona, New Mexico, Nebraska and Kansas. The storm was expected to push rain, snow and set eastward acres* the Great Plains during the day. Tornado-strength winds and window-breaking hail battered much of the Midwest Thursday night. One man was injured when high winds ripped the roof off a school house at Farmersville, HI. About 30 persons were enjoying a pot-luck dinner in the building when the storm struck. Hail and high winds also swept Indiana, with wind gusts of 54 miles per hour reported at Indianapolis. Lafayette was drenched with 1.40 inches of rain in six hours. Scientists at Houston, Tex., got more than they asked for when the Gulf of Mexico proved too choppy for an attempt to float a space capsule and three Gemini astronauts in a 36-hour survival test. Officials warned choppy water to see how well the craft could take an ocean pounding for a day and a half.
