AN INDEPENDENT SURVEY
4Starfli -90
Readership In Goderich
Bell Survey Reports
.."The great majority of tele-
phone customers, in .Goderich say
they read the Signal -Star regularly.
About nine customers in ten say
they read it every week while
()rib/ about one in 20 say they
never read lt at all." ,
The aforemerbtioned is the exact
report of the chief statistician's
office of the Bell Telephone Com-
pany of Canada on a survey made
in Goderich on February 13, 14
and 16. The survey was made:
to determine the readership of a
small town weekly; the extent to
which the Bell Telephone Company
advertisement was read; the spec-
ific copy items recalled and found
of interest; readers' opinions of
the Bell Telephone test advertise-
ment.
A total of 330 Bell telephdne cus-
tomers in Goderich —about one-,
fifth of the total number—were
intervieW,ed by the Bell Telephone
operators. The Bell Telephone.
Company has expressed itself as
being quite pleased with the read-
ership of the' Signal-9tar and also
with that of the new type ad they
ran, in news 'column style and
headed "Bell Lines." Another
such ad is planned for' the ,near
future.
Of the 330 interyiewed by tele-
phone, 88 per cent said they read
the Signal -Star every week,, five
per cent ' said they read it once
or twice a month, two per cent
less than, pnce a month and five
per cent do not read it.
Readership of the Signal -Star is
about the same for men (57%) as
for women (62%).
A total of 43 per cent of all
readers of- the ad "Bell Lines"
could accurately describe some
aspects of the ad, Of these, 88
per cent mentioned the three
photographs, in the ad.
"This type of advertising in
small town newspapers appears to
be effective in terms of drawing
power, readership and retention
of message," said the survey re-
port regarding the !'Bell Lines"
advertisement run in The Signal -
Star.
Cons6 lidated Schools
Proposed In -Township
A. request that 'all the school
sections in Goderich Township be
brought into the township school
area was made to Township Coun-,

T'here are four chool, sections
that have riot joined the school

Your Sign Is Down
A friend of many years told me
the following experience. He had
occasion to stay overnight' in an
Ontario city not far distant from
Huron, Before turning in for the
night he decided to take -a short.
walk. As he stepped into the
street two women camp out of the
Women's Beverage Room. One
stumbled and lay on the sidewalk.
The other, not quite so drunk tried
to help her up. Failing, she began
a stream of abuse in language
that my friend said, "I hope I shall
never again hear from the lips of
a wonlan."
Disgusted he returned into the,
hotel and said to the clerk: "Your
sign has fallen down." "What?".
said the clerk. "Your sign is
down," he repeated.
--H-asterring-outside-, the clerk' tnolt-

hailed a taxi and had the pair
whisked out of sight.
