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)

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. I
