ia,
A week that naturally springs to
mind, of course, is Be Kind to Edit
ors Week, We could think of a lot of
promotions for this one. Readers
coujd write letters to the editor say
ing that they found no mistakes in
the paper. Others could sign affidav
its that they agreed with his editor
ials, Advertisers could organize testi
monial banquets at wffich after-din
ner speakers tell of the effectiveness
of advertising in his newspaper,
The shock might be top great for
ye poor ed, but it would be worth it.
How about a National Fishing
Week, when all anglers are allowed a
week off to pound the trout streams?
Or a- Keep Your Ray Weekj when
people who have liens against your
paycheck, including the government,
renounce their privilege for a week?
Perhaps a Stay at Home Week would
be a good idea for those who find
all their evenings taken up with
meetings and other social functions.
We could think of a few others,
too. For the children, a Speak Kindly
to Parents Week would be a nice
thing. Sleep In Morning Week would
do us all no harm. Ban the Xmas Tie
Week would be a natural around the
beginning of December.
See what we mean? There’s nothing
wrong with special weeks, except
that the current crop is pretty dull,
from the United States in
LitUe want ads carry weight.

A Thousand and One Weeks
Around about this time of year
some editor realizes with a yelp that
this is National Cat Week. And a
diatribe on the viels of all the var
ious "weeks’’ usually appears in his
editorial columns the following week.
We don’t know what it is about
National Cat Week which brings out
the beast in editors. We like cats.
And we figure that of all the 1,001
weeks celebrated by somebody or
other, National Cat Week is about as
sensible as most.
And there are all kinds. There’s
Cleaner Air Week, Transit Progress
Week, National Posture Week, Kraut
Pork and Apple Dinner Week, Nat
ional Cage Bird Week, National
Swim for Health Week, Hearth Bak
ed Bread Week, Merchant Marine
Book Drive Week and National Rais
in week, to mention only.a few. Some
of the publicity boys who are con
tent with less have organized a few
"days” instead of weeks, and we have
Newspaperboy Day, Freedom of
Speech Day, Felt Hat Day, Straw Hat
Day, Expectant Father’s Day, and
Spirit of the. Law Day. Others have
gone the idea one better and promot
ed a few “months” like new Indus
tries Month, Ragweed Control Month,
Better Breakfast Month and National
Sandwich Month.
Scheherezhade had nothing on to
day’s publicity boys.
Editors tend to become a bit peev
ish under the weight of all these
supposed celebrations. Especially If
they are expected to commemorate
them all.
Fortunately most of the promotions
never get past the publicists’ desks.
The ones that do serve a useful pur
pose in providing harassed editors
with grist for the editorial page. AU
you need is a list of the special days,
Wo figure that it isn’t the quantity
weeks and months, and you have a
never-failing gusher of inspiration.
Most people seem to feel that there
are too many weeks already. Not us.
so much as the quality. If people
would dig up some more interesting
themes for their weeks, we figure
the idea would be perfectly SoUhd.
In fact we have a Secret yen to
promote a few weeks of our own. If
