Office Department, Ottawa pustage fn cash TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1963 “he old adage that good things come “in snall packages is one that applies appropriately to the classified section of a newspaper, Ino this particular gase The Daily News. -- While trying to keep away from buret-ng into an ambitious sales pitch by, way of opinionated comment through these columns, we cannot help but think that this is our finest way of getting to the people and in fiin making them quite aware that we do indeed have a classified adver- lixing section und it is at their dis- posal five days a week. Advertising pays off. This has hégn proven more than once. In the classified section of a newspaper there is plenty of sound proof that what littl money is invested in a few short words is almost nine times out of 10 returned with sometimes amaz- ing und almost always satisfactory results, When we say good things come in small packages we simply mean that for a nominal fee, one can put almost anything before the public in the form of a short punchy classifted ad- vertisement, We also feel an editorial on this subject is our best way of inviting readers to study the situation. It also reminds them that we are willing to accept their advertising, big or small, We're at your disposal at any time. Other businesses use our newspaper to display their goods and so it is that we too are using this me- dia in its strongest form—an editorial. It is felt also that there may be some who are not aware of the fact that there is always plenty of room on our classified pave. If there does not appear to be, space can easily be made. The more advertising we re- ceive the more space we will have available for important news content or feature material that we cannot now use because of not having a re- quired amount of advertising to go with it. We wish to expand The Daily News to the best of our ability. There have been many features added in re- cent months and there could be many more in the future if the reader is willing to make use of our advertising facilities, It is not meant here that we won't continue to ‘keep our reader up-to- date on the latest. Quite the contrary. We simply mean that it is easier for us financially to put out an even big- ger and better publication with more advertising. We hope to start on the classified page, and we hope readers will help us by contacting this depart- ment at any time they desire, be it a washing machine they wish to sell or a wedding engagement they wish to announce, Turning point for the west By LUBOR J, ZINK OTTAWA (TNS) — Until the advent of nuclear weapons, an aggressor seeking to rhange the world order had to conquer his mppunents. An arms race was thus inevitably u prelude to war in which the aggressor sought to vceupy foreign territory in order to tip the balance of pawer in his favor. The revolution in military technology, “hich gathered momentum in the last decade, lite Cpened up entirely new avenues of con- eee t, For the first time in history an aggressor how has a chance to change the balance of power without sending his armies on the march across the border. The destructiveness of the new weapons is sc enormous that the mere ‘threat of their use can provide a substitute fur physical conquest if the opponent is in- capable of conquering the threat of annihila- lron or laeks the will to risk nuclear showdown Arms race in the atomic age has thus eoamed the histcrical rele of the battlefield, A sudden breakthrough in the technology of wes pemrvoor a ioral collapse of one side in The ows ol nerves can ‘now upset the balance CT pewer more profoundly than did physical fonguest in the pre-nuclear era, Hence the ferocity of the arms race, and the simultaneous concentration of the aggresor's efforts on undermining the will of his adversaries to carry the burden and the strain of the contest, Realizing the improbability of gaining a CGecisive superiority. in the arms race, the Soviet Unien owhich is the self-deelared age pressor’ sees the main hope of upsettng the iehaee Gf power in breaking the determina- fron of the free nations to resist nuclear Lhaekuaail, Houses three methods to achieve this alm: (lr A systematic campaign throughout the pon-Communisy world depicting the horrors Gf nuclear war which is always deseribed as un ui-out holocaust; (2) ‘The “peaceful co- exintenee" and ‘total disarmament lures; (3) The assertion that the U.S, will not defend its whes when faced with nuclear attack on North Amerion, ONE BRAND SET TO TURN OUT 6,0 This is the essence of Communist psycho- logical ‘warfare. The effectiveness of its first two points is demonstrated by the prolifera- tion of the various ban-the-bomb and peace-at-any-price movements which, how- ever, are conspicuously absent within the Sino-Soviet orbit, The third point, aimed directly at NATO, helped to nourish Eu- rope’s growing uneasiness with the struc- ture and operation of the Alliance. France's decision to follow Britain's ex- ample in building her own nuclear arsenal, and the fear that West Germany might even- tually follow suit unless something is done to allay the long-simmering disquiet within the Alliance, finally forced the much-needed revision of the U.S. conceived NATO doctrine. For weighty and valid reasons, Washing- ton is still trying to find some formula which would satisfy Western Europe’s clamor fur a NATO nuclear force, without: unleashing a scramble for national contro) of nuclear hard- ware, The difficulty lies in reconciling the concept of collective defense while NATO is still little more than a louse aliiance of sovereign states, each of which may have different criteria for the kind of emer- Beney requiring the use of nuclear wea- pons. The idea of an inter-alNed (or background of some of the key multi-national nuclear force is the first U.S attempt to come to grips With the need for brnging NATO in line with present-day reality. This, in brief oudline, is the problems Which confront the far from routine meeting of the NATO Foreign and Defense Ministers in Ottawa, While no one expeets from it) any hard and fast decisons on NATO's future, the con- ference may well become a turning point in the history of the Alliance which must forge closer military, politleal and economle ties to survive us an effective bulwark against all forms of Communist expansion. 00,000 A YEAR Boom in sale of birth-control tablets Ny GEORGE GRAHAM Barth control pills are poling dicates nearly ddan women use them. $6,000 Cana- eyele bleeding reported by a few patients, down well in Canada, Nobody seems to wrint to fulk about them ooo at least Hot pubhety, Hut off- the - record fhrures nnd a spot eheek of drug efores showed a lot of women are takinp then, There are two major birth Control tablets on the Cann- dlian noarket Enovid and Ortha-Noyvum, Bath products are reporteddy selling well, One brand whieh distrib.

RAILWAY The Editor, The Daily News: Will you please aHew me a small space in your paper to write my opinion about Rail- way vs Highway 16 Bus. IT went to Prince Ruvert last Tuesday morning on a bus and the driver was very courteous. He took my suitcase and got me settled. The trip was very hiuch enjoyed. While in Prince Rupert, my husband bought a new record player Everyone knows how it is when you buy something new, you don't want anything to happen to it. Thai’s why when I boarded the railway Skunk, I took the record player with me. Soon the conductor saw it and he told me I should put it on baggage. I told him it's a new record player and the store where I bought it said not to put it in a rough place. He just made his voice louder and said he couldn't help it but I must get it off and baggage it. . I don’t mind doing that but must he bark at me? I got off the train and = reiirned my fare ticket and took a bus back home again. The bus fare isa ttle higher than train fare but the courtesy I get from bus drivers makes it really worth it. They treat me the same way they treat other passen- gers. I wasn't barked at. Before I boarded the bus I told them about my frapile AY sa" SZAN ~ mgt (BX “"s* wt Dy An amateur of astronomy is an unhandy thing to have about the house.

RUPERT BOOSTERS We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the kind people in Prince Rupert who have made our tenure here a most enjoyable experi- ence—friends, acquaintances, clerks in banks and stores. We have been very favor- ably impressed with your city and take away with us pleasant memories and a wish to return someday. Coming to Rupert from the airport, we were delighted to find the city in such a beauti- ful setting. Have you watched the sunset from Acropolis Hill lately? It’s really something. Even your lively climate has been full of surprises. We were prepared for 300 rainy days out of 365, by people who don’t know what they are talking about. We are returning to Vancouver as real ‘Rupert Boosters.’ See you at Rupert night next year. ' Commonwealth Construc- tion Co. Gregory.
