An economics pro- fessor in a letter to a newspaper, answers, "No". It is surely a new-fangled and false notion, the professor argues, that the public ever has an obligation to purchase goods. The classical and still correct theory of the market economy, he says, is that a willing buyer and willing seller must meet. If there's any duty involved, in his opinion, it's on the part of the seller to offer a wanted commodity at an attractive price. The flaw in this discussion, says The Financial Post, comes from mixing up "duty," usually thought of as something painful, with self-interest, which is something pleasant. There's no duty either to buy or sell; but right now it would be in everybody's interest if buying and selling were speeded up. But it isn't conscience but advantage that makes people spend money, or save it. Province Finds Newspaper Best A SURVEY conducted by a research organization for the Province of Nova Scotia has turned up a piece of information that gladdens our heart. Newspapers continue to be the most effective advertising medium. The province was anxious to know what led tourists to visit the area, and some 3,000 visitors were questioned. The printed word won hands down. Most of the people reported they had gone to Nova Scotia to visit friends and relatives, or through desire or curiosity. But when it came to advertising, newspapers led the way. Some 15.4 percent reported they were influenced by newspaper advertising. Magazine advs were credited with attracting 10.3 percent. The survey said: "Films, radio, and television programs ap- parently did not have an appreciable effect on the tourists." The value of newspaper advertising is that it attracts the reader as he peruses the pages and it is still there for him to come back to at his leisure. Court Is The Publics Concern Aa DISTURBING REPORTS about the lack of respect for law and order exhibited by some of the younger set continue to circulate. The remedy to such a condition is said to be more arrests and stiffer sentencing when convictions are registered. "Tough guys", smart alecks and just plain punks are always a problem — they aren't really tough or smart — if they were they would be working at a job instead of running contrary to the rules of society. But tough or not, they constitute a problem for policemen everywhere. No law abiding resident wants to see his policemen running around arresting everyone in sight but we do have police for a purpose -- that of maintaining order in our society and in the face of what seems to be disrespect for policemen we should. make every attempt to back up the enforcement of law. In this connection it is important that sentencing following convictions be stiff enough to act as a deterrent or teach a lesson. By reporting court news we act as the public's observer (although some do not think we should) and in this manner inform the reader about charges, defenses and findings, Law enforcement is everybody's business. If there is dif- ficulty in connection about it such as lack of respect then every- body ought to be concerned. Modern Etiquette Q. My husband and I took some guests for an auto ride re- cently, and I sat in the front seat with my husband, our guests in the rear. I have been told this was wrong. Was it? A. Yes.

If one is eating in a rest- aurant where srnaiiI butter hats 'are served in little paper contain- ers, is it all right to let the knife rest on the pat when not in use? A. Never.
