DII) YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Col. Albanus Phillips, president of the Phillips Packing
Company, says:
“Newspaper advertising performs at least one definite,
vital function which newspapers themselves fail to empha
size and w’hich, unfortunately, too few consumers probably
realize.
“The popular conception of newspaper advertising
doubtless is that it represents a highly effective method of
creating consumer interest; is a reasonably economical means
of developing distribution and that, because of resultant vol
ume increases, unit costs of any given commodity are pro
portionately reduced—to both the manufacturer and the
consumer.
“But of far greater importance is the influence which
newspaper advertising wields in setting up standards of ex
cellence and integrity. Standards which every advertiser
must recognize and observe if there is a sincere desire to re
main an important factor in any particular field.
“The task of making consumers see advertising, making
them read it, understand it, believe it and want it, are all
primary functions of newspapers and the men and women
who prepare and illustrate advertising. But the sixth point
is the problem of the maker of the commodity. And the job
of causing consumers to want the same product over and
over again can only be accomplished by setting up standards
that are consistently safeguarded.
“Newspaper advertising, by the intimacy and frequency
of its contact with readers and potential, consumers, must
necessarily play an important part in a nation s thoughts,
customs and habits. Used merely as a vehicle of exploita
tion it has tremendous power. But when also employed to
represent a standard of integrity and excellence, and when
these virtues are steasfastly and zealously observed, news
paper advertising becomes more than a transient merchan
dising method and rises to the fine heights of a code of honor
for the advertiser and his product and a perpetual safeguard
for the ultimate consumer.”
The Dionnes have plasted rumor that they were expect
ing another blessed event, in the vernacular of a certain
columnist, they are quintupletting-well-enough-alone.

News - Letter
(Continued From Page One)
776 the following occurred:
•Mr. Dimond. Will the gentlement
yield?
Samuel B Hill. I yield to the gen
tlemen from Alaska.
Mr Dimond. Is it the gentlemen’s
idea that the bill as drawn applies
to Indians as well as other citizens
of the United States?
Samuel B Hill. It does. It is my
opinion that aged Indians will re
ceive the same benefits as aged
white people or any other aged of
the Ur.ted States, because the In
dians are by virtue of an Act of
Congress of 1924. citizens of the
United States and have the same
status as any other citizen of our
country Therefore they are entit
of the old-age
pension under this title.
Mr Dimond. Then the striking out
or the elimination of the Senate
amendment with respect to Indians
i es not mean that this bill does
not apply to Indians?
Samuel B Hill. It does not mean
:h;but it does mean that the bill
.v. i 1 apply to Indians, needy, aged,
md that they will come under the
a revisions of title 1.”
:!ius evident that Mr. Hill,
one of the leaders of the
i 'Use and as above noted one of the
i m e C mferees*on the bill, is very
iefimteiy of the opinion that In
iians are provided for in the bill
he same as other citizens of the
Jnited States.
L ng before this action was tak
n. (on February 6, 1935) Senator
v.rbeck introduced a bill providing
id age pensions for Indian citizens
f the United States. The bill, as
Irawn, would give a pension of not
exceed $1 a day to all Indian
citizens of half blood or more upon
attaining the age of 70 years, and
who are in need of such pension.
This bill was referred to the Senate
Committee on Indian Affairs and on
May 1. 1935, the committee report
ed the bill with a number of amend
ments. In one of these amend
ments it was recommended that the
word citizen be stricken, and the
words member of any tribe now un
der the jurisdiction be sustituted
therefor, so that the bill, as amend
ed, would provide a pension for any
Indian of the half blood or more
who is a member of any tribe now
under the jurisdiction of the United
States, etc.
Since few of the Indians of Alaska
live on reservations and since they
are a part of the body politic of A1
aska and are not governed in any
respect through tribal organizations,
doubt exists as to whether Senator
Norbeck's bill if so amended will
covet the Indians and Eskimos of
Alaska. The Delegate has taken
this matter up with the Interior De
partment and with a number of the
members of the Senate Committee
on Indian Affairs, paricularly Sena
tors Thomas, Norbeck, Frazier and
Donahey, requesting that a suitable
amendment be made to the bill so
as to expressly cover the Indians
and Eskimos of Alaska.
In order to be sure that the nat
ives of Alaska are covered by any
such legislation, the Delegate has
introduced in the House a bill sim
ilar to Senator Norbeck's bill, but
expressly providing that the Indians
and Eskimos of Alaska be includ
ed in the benefits which the bill
would give. Since the Delegate is
a member of the House committee
on Indian Affairs, it is certain that
the status of the Alaska Indians
and Eskimos will be carefully con
sidered when this legislation comes
up from the House. Of course it is
not yet certain that the Norbeck
bill will pass the senate,
