IF THAT SWORT. circulation
bill goes through in Congress,
it'll be a sad, sad day for the
many money-hungry weeklies,
semi-weeklies and tri-weeklies
who keep fooling the public
. . . There's no doubt that adver-
tising is the mainstay of a publi-
cation . . . but the advertiser de-
serves what he pays for, and
that's cumulative interest through
reading power.
Phil Slomovitz hit it on the
nose, last week, when he defined
the Murray Bill as "a weapon
against regrettable schemes of
those newspapers whose circula-
tions seldom number more than
a handful of readers and whose
entire aim is to 'get all they can'
out of advertising. There are en-
tirely too many of these publica-
tions which have forgotten the
value of service to the commun-
ity and are concerned only with
advertising returns." . . . Show-
proof circulation by sworn state-
ment is the quickest means for
protecting the advertiser and the
trusting reader.

LITTLE MANNY Grossman
provided his father with the
only thing good about pop's re-
cent fishing trip . . . Manny is
just a trifle ,past 4 years old, -
but you'd never believe it after
he started that high-powered
vocal motor of his . . . Anyway,
he was sitting there fishing with
his father, who was wearing
his fishing license on the back
of his hat • . , Grossman wasn't
having much luck nabbing a
nibble when little Manny of-
fered the suggestion .. . "Dad-
dy, turn your hat around so the .
fish can see your license."

FURTHER INFO on the ladder-
climbing of Bobby Shan in the
entertainment world has it that
more than one agent in Holly-
wood is bidding for his services.
He appeared as guest master-of-
ceremonies on three different oc-
casions at the Club Trocadero
and those who saw him haven't
any doubt but what he is head-

talent in the community which

ability.

ASK THE TWO youngsters
who sold lemonade on the corner
of Boston and Wildemere last
week, and they'll tell you that
policemen are not so bad . . . A
scout car stopped at their stand
and asked the kids if they had
a license to sell the penny punch
... When the frightened lads said
no, one of the cops offer not to
"run 'em in" for a drink and
the . other bought out then. ousi-
ness for a quarter.

THE WOMAN in a car on
Sturtevant between Linwood
and Lawton gave passersby an
impression of how she keeps
house .. by peeling an orange
and tossing the pieces of rind
out the window . . . On Pingree
near Fourteenth, waste paper
scattered about was like so
much confetti after a parade
. Neither example was a very
good recommendation for neat-
ness . . . A "Keep Our Com-
munity Clean" campaign is
needed . . . We can all be vigi-
lantes by discouraging careless-
ness . . . We're proud of our
community . .. let's show how
proud we can be of its appear-
.ance!
Unique Atlas Issued
By Canadian Congress
A unique Atlas, "Jews After
the War," has been published by
the Canadian Jewish Congress to
inform the community of the ma-
jor problems facing the Jewish
people today and to tell of the
efforts of the Canadian commun-
ity in dealing with them.
The profusely illustrated At-
las opens with the map of Can-
ada, "The Bond of Blood," mark-
ing the 68 names of Canadian cit-
ies and towns whose Jewish com-
munities suffered casualties dur-
ing the war. It also shows a pho-
tograph of a Chinese Sunday
School in Montreal which is
housed in what was one of the
earliest synagogues in Canada.
Other pages deal with the work
of the Canadian Jewish Con-
gress in assisting in the rehabili-
tation of Jewish veterans, in com-
batting anti-Semitism, in trans-
mitting funds for supplies for re-
lief overseas and in promoting
Jewish education. It also tells
the story of representations made
by the Canadian Jewish Congress
to the Canadian Government in
the interests of world Jewry and
of the cooperation between the
Canadian Jewish Congress and
Jewish institutions elsewhere.
Distribution of the booklet is
made through Jewish welfare
funds, Jewish schools and the
Canadian Jewish Congress.
