Three hundred tickets for the
President's Birthday Ball were
sent out Monday morning in a
city wide drive. Mrs. Jack Green,
ticket-sales chairman states that
it is hoped the citizens will pur-
chase tickets at once when they
are aproached by those having
the tickets for sale.
A large return from the sale is
of interest to every citisen of
Brenham because of the share
which has been aUotted to local
needs. Thirty per cent will be for-
warded to the Warm Springs
Foundation to aid In the nation-
wide fight on infantile paralysis.
Of the remainder, fifty per cent
will be given to the Benevolent
Society fund, which must be re-
plenished immediately to meet the
urgent calls, upon it. It is hoped
thaU this amount will be enough
to prevent the necessity of anoth-
er drive later on.
Twenty-five per cent will go to
the milk fund and'twenty-five to
the Iron Lung fund which is still
not large enough to secure the
Iron Lung.
Commander T. O. Woolley, of
the American Legion stated that
arrangements are being com-
pleted for a very enjoyable occa-
sion. Engine Tlemann has been
secured to taka charge of the

there is the constant' play

of things that really do happen. ,
Binding the attractive story to-
gether is the romance of home-
making. a subject that holds the
interest of every woman young
and old. Even the Banner-Press
knows that al! women -brides,
business types and experienced
housekeepers, respond to the fas-

Personally, although the
small newspapers are the first
to feel the effects of radio com-
petition and there is no deny-
ing the fact that they have felt
the loss of certain accounts
that are now exclusively on the
air, we are not greatly alarmed
over the radio bugaboo. Figures
quoted at the meeting showed
that newspapers still receive by
far the greatest portion of the
advertising dollar spent in this
j country, and that they are
I still the backbone for any suc-
cessful advertising campaign.
Radio has the inherent weak-
ness that it “burns up" talent
too rapidly. It used to be that a
performer could get a good
■tock of jokes, songs, or what-
not and perform for years on
end on the stage, where at best
only a limited number of per-
sons could see and bear. But
now, on a national hookup, an
entertainer quickly uses up his
entire repertoire with the whole
nation able to listen at <one
time. Thereafter his perfor-
mance becomes a mere repeti-
tion, and the public quickly
tires.
