A Child's Garden Of Commercials BY RODERICK NORDELL When a father goes to wake up a child, when the child squirms and arches and opens reluctant eyes, when the child then smiles a sunlit smile and says, " The best to you each morning!" -- how can such a father really deplore the com- mercialization of his children? Easy, says the man who stops to calculate how many times the child probably heard this line from a breakfast -food TV campaign in order to have it on the tip of his tongue. True. But he could be learn- ing worse things from TV, and 1 he has. The thing is that when he mouths one of these com• - mercial bits at the appropriate time, his eyes say that he knows that we know what is going on. There's a shared experience t' here, and a family might have been the poorer for missing it. Another thing. When the commercial prompts the child to make his own variations on it, it must be at least as useful as some so-called creative toys. If this seems a sentimental rationalization of a demoraliz- ing way of life, consider the source. What father could hate commercials after hearing how much commercials like him? According to a children's ad- vertising specialist, interview- ed in The New York Times, a "father's" voice is more effect- ive in commercials for children because "the father's voice in a home is the final authority, though most mothers tend to disagree." Also a male voice is more noticed, because in the child's world at home and school the predominant voices are female. The voice can affect the commercial's results by "as much as 25 percent." Now think if a father's voice could affect results around the house by as much as 25 percent.! In the morning, towels would wind up two feet closer to the towel rods. At night, tricycles would wind up ten yards closer to the shed. At mealtime, sneakers would be 25 percent farther under the table. At bathtime, 25 percent more wa- ter would remain in the tub. Any father confounded by raising children should be com- forted to know that merely planning advertising for them is "a delicate task, unlike any other in the business." What of the father who has five at once? Surely Mr. Fis - cher cannot be blamed for let - NOTICE With much regret LEE'S TAXI service will be DISCONTINUED at 1:00 p.m. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26th, 1965.

Bowlers Hold Bridge Party The Lawn Bowling Club held a very successful bridge party on Monday evening, with 22 tables in play. Mrs. Tom Henderson was high lady followed by Mrs. Geo. Howson. J. W. English was high man with J. A. Wilson second. Mrs. R. Ahara won the lucky draw. The ladies served a delicious lunch and coffee after the play. ting his quintuplets be signed to an exclusive contract for the promotion of products from the Borden Company. The participation of other children in commercials is of a different kind. But they do like to participate, according to the Times interview. They like to "sing -along," for example. Unfortunately big compan- ies do not offer big contracts for this sort of participation. In fact, the more a child partici- pates, the more it may cost the parents. The interesting fact is that the child, like his elders, seems to develop a certain sales re- sistance. He begins to chal- lenge the statements of thatim- itation father's voice on the screen, just as if it had no more authority than the real one at home. The latter can only hope that the boy knows which one he is talking to when that be- atific smile emerges from the blankets and he says, " The best to you, etc." Doran Thornton Lost New Barn GORRIE-Doran Thornton'$ barn on Concession 4, Howick Township, 24, miles south of Gorrie was destroyed by fire about 2.30 p.m. Friday. The Wingham and Harriston fire bri- gades combined their efforts to salvage some of the straw and grain. The barn was new, having been completed just two months ago. Mr. Thornton lost hispre- vious barn last November 28 by fire. He was able to save about 40 head of cattle but was over- come by smoke and was taken by ambulance to Listowel Hos- pital. Mr. Thornton was still in hospital early this week. A lush managed to find the keyhole with the key, navigate the front hall, and work his way through the front room to the stairs. Suddenly his pro- gress was interrupted by a loud crash, as of broken glass. This awakened his wife, who cried down sweetly: "That you, dear? What happened?" "It's me, all right," mutter- ed the woozy one, "and that'll teach those goldfish to snap at me. G. A. WILLIAMS, O.D. Optometrist 9 PATRICK STREET W. WINGHAM Phone 357-1282 JOHN C.
