Sample Copy, The Wingham Advance-Times, 1955-03-02, Page 3STARLING HAS WARM “HOME”, LEAVES WHEN THINGS GET HOT If starlings in this district sound noisier than usual, they are probably laughing at one of their number who was almost asphyxiated in the Quebec heater in the Jerseyville Baptist Church. As the caretaker started the stove in the new addition of the church* he heard a fluttering and scratching on the pipe leading from the stove. Finally out of the stove door popped the starling and headed for the win­ dow. As it was unhurt Mr. Vansickle raised the window and released it. An End To Boils—Without Lancing Antibiotics are replacing the surgi­ cal knife in the treatment pf boils. This painful condition can last a long time before the boil comes to a head and can be lanced. Doctors, however, now have a way of getting rid of boils in a hurry. U. S. researchers are putting the potent new antibiotic, tetracyn, ip an ointment which can bp applied to boils and other skin infections of a similar nature. In 120 cases treated with this ointment, the researchers report, there was "rapid and complete eradication” of the in­ fections. (ISPS) Cea.

TV Effects on Living Starting to Wear Off Some of television’s drastic effects on living habits and on other forms of entertainment are beginning to wear off, if viewers in New Bruns­ wick, N.J., are typical, according to Wayne Oliver, AP correspondent. The Cunningham and Walsh Ad­ vertising Agency here has been con­ ducting annual surveys of New Bruns­ wick homes the last five years and its report for 1954 shows a strong trend toward a return to pre-TV habits and activities. The surveys in past years had shown night-time radio listening the hardest hit of all by TV, but it’s on the upswing again. Morning radio listening, at least in New Brunswick TV homes, never was affected and has steadily increased. Newspaper Reading Up “Newspaper reading is the only form of mass communication in the home which showed no reaction when TV sets were purchased,” says the report. “In 1951 reading of newspapers I among adults in the panel of iden­ tical families was up nine per cent during the first year of TV in the home. This same group of buyers in 1951 showed an increase of 20 per cent in 1952 and 'an added 12- per-cent increase in 1953. Thia year’s survey shows that newspaper reading has remained at its 1953 peak.’’ Movie attendance from TV homes, after declining steadily through 1952, turned upward in 1953 and showed a substantial increase in 1954. Maga­ zine reading, after a 53-per-cent drop, showed a 70-per-cent increase this year on top of a five-per-cent gain last year. General Trend Seen While these findings, based on a “guinea pig’’ study of a city of just under 40,000 population, might vary I in degree from the national average, I reports from other independent sourc- I es indicate that they accurately I measure the general trends. I In Canada, where TV still is rela- I tively hew, the Retail Book-sellers I Association reports no effect on book I reading, as does the public library in I New York, a city which has had TV I a long time. Financial reports of the I big movie companies show continued I gains-in movie attendance. New radio I stations continue to come on the air, I and more than 600 applications for I station permits are pending. I It doesn’t meah TV is a passing I fad, and all the evidence is that it I will have a lasting and powerful im- I pact. But there are growing indica- I tions that the public is adjusting to I TV to allow for resumption of more I normal living habits.
