MARIETTA
CAUTION
INFORMATION
1
w
A directive has been issued by the Federal
Trade Commission in Washington that would
require cigarette manufacturers to include a
health warning in all cigarette advertising.
The edict is headed for a long and strenu-
ous battle. That's understandable.
With the unusual amount of publicity al-
ready given the possible health hazards of
smoking, further notification to the public
seems excessive, unnecessary, and totally in-
effective.
The scare last year shook up some folks
and they tapered off for awhile. A very few
might even have shaken the habit. But, all in
all, the dire warnings went unheeded.
The human animal some how or other
reasons that a few minutes of doubtful pleas-
ure now are worth more to him than the vague
promise of a few days or a few years of life
somewhere in the uncertain future.
Revenue figures in Texas tell the story in
indisputable terms: Cigarette smokers are do-
ing it again.
Money to the state from tax stamps was
$600,000 more in May this year than last year.
The increase this June over the same month a
year ago was $568,048.
That amounts to a half million dollar vote
each month of no confidence in Washington's
warnings.
And besides, if cigarettes are to be labeled
as a health hazard, what about a similar di-
rective warning of under-cooked pork in gro-
cery advertising?
Or requiring liquor stores to warn against
excessive drinking, or for automobile manu-
facturers to caution against speed, or the two
of them together to caution against drinking
and driving?
There is no end to the applications of such
an edict if the federal government wants to get
involved deeply enough.
What about a warning from the makers
of those new topless bathing suits?

tions this week.)
Dear editar:
According to an article I
read last night in a copy of a
newspaper which blew out of
a teen-ager's car which came
around a corner out here near
my farm on two wheels to save
rubber I guess, a plan is under-
way to conduct the next na-
tional census by mail, instead
of having thousands of paid
people walking around knock-
ing on doors, and this got me
to thinking.
Why not hold national poli-
tical conventions by mail?
Here's the deal: It'll cost
millions and millions of dol-
lars for the Republicans to
travel to San Francisco and
the Democrats to Atlantic City
and to set up all the telephone
wires, television cables and
cameras, to get the conven-
tion halls ready, to handle all
the traffic, feed all the peo-
ple, find hotel rooms, hire
more police, etc.

This seems like going to a
lot of expense and trouble to
get a bunch of delegates from
around the nation to one spot
lo vote by voice, particularly
when most of them already
know how they're going to
vote anyway.
But even if they don't know
how they're going to vote, it
seems like they could make
up their minds about as well
from their desks back home
and drop their vote into the
mail, because if they're de-
pending on making up their
minds on the basis of a nomi-
nating speech in a noisy con-
vention hall, you've got the
wrong bunch for delegates to
start with.
If there ever was a delegate
who was influenced by a bunch
of people tearing down the
aisles waving signs and beat-
ing drums, he was picked by
mistake.
For $500 worth of stamps,
the whole thing could be con-
ducted by mail.
However, I'll admit when
the convention opens, I'll be
sitting in front of a television
set watching the show. After
all, it takes place in the sum-
mer and in the summer all
television fans are used to see-
ing re-runs anyway.
