�lnt In Boy's Life
(By Harry Boyle)
, There are some problems that
remain with us no matter what
may happen in the world. Peo-
ple always crowd into the back
pews of a church and they in-
variably come late for a country
dance. The school board meet-
ings never get started on time
simply because members stand
around jawing about something
else, as if afraid of the business
at hand.
One problem of country living
is gradually being eliminated, to
the relief of all the youngsters.
It's the matter of when a boy
can have a pair of long pants.
* * *
It's not too bad now, but just
the same, Eddie from two 'farms
over on this concession came by
this morning with a face as long
as last year's unpaid tax bill.
Eddie is quite young but fairly
tall. When I asked him what

Advertising's position in, in- ( that sustains newspapers, md—

other business essentials like
purchasing, planning, operations
and selling.
There are, however, a few die-
hards left over from the old
school who look upon advertis-
ing as the glamor end of the
business world. To• them, it's a
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. round of con-
vivial relationship with artists,
models, photographers and 'free
passes to the ball games and
the fights.
So, when things need tighten-

streamlining, the word passed,
down from on top is "Let's can-
cel the advertising."
Of course, this is rarely done.
