EDITOR'S NOTE
This page from time to time

merit and of Interest to the stu

By Robert Gormley.
About a year ago, the gradu
ating class of one of, the high
schools in this country took as
their class motto. "W. P. A., Here
We Come!" Readers all over the
country saw this and laughed ;
laughed because they considered
it a mere jest.
Perhaps on the surface it was
ust a iest. but down deep it re
fleets a state of relative defeatism
all too common in the young peo
ple of today.

"What are we to ao : tney sa
All the frontiers have been con

The men who were instrumental
in these advances have no such
mental attitude that they consider
every frontier conquered. They
continue to look forward. These
men know that success has to be

Work for liberty.
Work will protect our liberty as
nothing else will because the nun

just as good as a pay check then
we surrender our right ever to
reach the frontiers of tomorrow.
This feeling of "what's the use,
so common in our high schools
and universities, has to be put
down, and the students turned
toward the future, not toward the
past.

Changes brand preference.
On the other hand, advertising1
may be designed to persuade cus
tomers to buy one particular brand
of goods in place of another brand
of goods to which they have been
accustomed. It seems probable
that advertising of this kind sim
ply transfers one's allegiance of a
brand of goods to another. Of
course, advertising: of this kind
may conceivably result in initiat
ing a non-user to the joys and
benefits ln which case there has
been an increase and not merely
a shift in desire ...
