One such matter is that of newspap- er advertising and the general accep- tance it receives for the job it does. So it' is particularly interesting to see the ' emphasis which the St. Mary's' Journal -Argus places on the subject in these words: • One of the peculiar things about newspapers is that, though they owe their very being to the' seeking out and publication of news, they are notorious- ly reluctant to print news about them- selves. For how many Canadians realize " that, in this "television age," more ad- vertising dollars are invested in news- papers than in television? More than in radio? More than in magazines, or billboards, or sound truck&? A few, per- haps, But how many realize that news- papers lead the advertising field, not by a few decimal points, but by -so over- whelming a margin that the advertis- 'ing expenditures in newspapers are greater than that;in television, • radio, • magazines, • and all other media corn- . tined? 'indeed; the latest available fig- :.:tirs 13iiow that newspaper advertising Lr • • exceeds that in all other media com- bined by more than forty million dol- lars! In an economy based on mass pro- duction and ro- ductiop..and mass consumption, the ad- vertising which moves goods and creates sales is one of the most impor- tant elements in our society. It is a quality peculiar to newspaper advertis- ing that it is, in itself, a kind of news — the price of meats and groceries is as important and eargerly awaited in- formation to" the housewife as any oth- er item of news in the paper – and it is perhaps this fact which accounts more than any other for the growth of newspaper advertising effectiveness. Add to this thetimelessness of the message — one need not be before a loud sPeaker to get it, but can pick it up when one, is ready for it, • at ease in one's home — and the unconscious sel- ectivity of the reading eye, which scans only those advertisements of interest, thus avoiding the wastage of broadcast messages which heap denture ads on those with teeth and corset ads on men listeners as well as women.

It is said that Mr., Thomas Ryan has resigned his possession as dep- uty reeve, with a view of be- coming a candidate for the TO THE EDITOR ''ax Burden Falls on Property Owners Sir: In the Ontario Legislatur the Liberal Leader Robert Nix on charged the Governmen with failure to relieve the mun icipalities of part of the burde of increased educational costs He advocated that the Provinc assume 80 per cent. of th school taxes, leaving 20 pe cent to be borne by the loca taxpayer. The Provincial Treasurer Mr. Charles MacNaughton, has countered this in a spate of election euphoria in London that this. could mean a rise of 16 per cent. in the personal in- come tax. This is enough to make one shudder. If we as- sume that Mr, MacNaughton is correct in this figure, however; he undoubtedly means only the Ontario portion of the income tax, A look at the tables we are studying for the 30 April' dead- line for tax returns shows that this would mean an increase of under $4 In a $100 tax payment, and under $16 in a $500 tax. Moreover, ,should our provincial treasurer impose this addition, why should he not realize that this will allow municipalities to gain additional revenue from our land tax, holding the gain from the reduction in the school portion for the spiralling in- creases needed 'for local ser- vices? Mr. MacNaughton is also quieted as saying the Province already pays 65 to 75 per cent. of the cost of education in Hur- on County, Now Mr. MacNaugh- ton may be excused for having difficulty with figures, because he'is new to the Treasury. More- over, he undoubtedly received these figures from Mr. Davis, who presides over that Parkin- sonian nightmare, the.. Depart- er when •the debentures are floated, since the Province is e only assuming about half the cost of construction on which to • apply their grants. Can it be that- Stanley and Tuckersmith n are alone in the County in this e si? A possible explanation for e. thispotiondiscrepaancy, of .• course, is r that the Provincial •Treasurer is announcing Government pol- icy on the hustings, and indeed • is accepting Mr. Nixon's pro- posal to. relieve us Locally of further tax rises. If so, I sug- gest . he passes this measure through the house before, the election, since otherwise our credibility might not bear the strain. Now it would be naive for "anyo4e to expect that taxes would not increase. I recall. hearing in school of a'' revered E,oglish Monarch who convinced -his subjects that he could not stop the relentless advance of the 'tide. With the increase in wages: and prices, and the pev- er-ending growth of beauro- cracy, the patient taxpayer is being milked with greater fin- esse each year. Ontario will not increase takexs in this election year, and is building a large in- crease in the deficit for the in- creased costs. This, mark you, is also done at the expense of the local taxpayer, but"his prop- erty tax will not be due until after the provincial election. Our Treasurer knows that should he be re-elected, he can make up the deficit next year, and if he fails at the polls it will be an embarrasement to his successor in office. The landowner and tenant are already bearing too great . a share of taxation. Huron is an agricultural county, and there is very little industrial taxation for any of the municipalities.
