Agnes and Nelda are walk-
ing on a busy downtown blocl
and Agnes says: "Do you
know what I am doing to stop
perspiration?" 15 miles later,
Agnes and Nelda are walking
on a deserted beach. "No",
answers Nelda, "what are
you doing to stop perspiration
25 miles later, Agnes and
Nelda are in a airplane Llying
out of Howe International Air
port. "I am plugging my
pores with those new femin-
ine Acupuncture Sweatsticks*
Agnes says.
1578 miles later, Agnes
and Nelda are boarding a
camel in Cairo. "Don*t the
Sweatsticks punch holes in
your clothes?" Nelda asks.
26 miles later, Agnes and
Nelda have stopped at a Stan-
dard pyramid to use the rest-
room. "No, silly," Agnes
says. "I don*t insert the Swea
sticks until after I*m dressed,
mostly in fishnest fashions."
89 miles later, Agnes and
Nelda are riding a ferris whe^
at the grand opening of the
Sphinx Shopping Center, "But
what about the underarm
problem?" Nelda asks, "Don*t
you get tired holding your
arms butrlike airplane wings
all the time ?"
98 miles later, Agnes and
Nelda are boarding a barge
on the Nile, watching care-
fully for asps. "It is only a
problem when I have to turn
corners fast, " Agnes explains,
"If a person is the right heigh
I chop off his head."
And so it goes, * round, the
world in a 60-second TV com
mercial with Agnes and Neldj
You may find these comJ
mercials full of the pause
that perplexes. You may thin]
the advertiser is insulting
your intelligence. You may
think it is impossible and in-
credible that Agnes and Nelds
would take so long to say 7
simple sentences about fern*-
inine hygiene.
You are abviously a bached
lor.
The Sweatstick advertiser
has simply done what was -
necessary to fit his message
into a time slot he can afford.
Rather than give you a phony
pitch, he has shown you ex-
actly how women talk. But
he has edited out all conver-
sation irrelevant to his pur-
pose-the selling of Sweatsticl
Otherwise, it would have bee?
a telethon.
You see, dear bachelor, it
is entirely possible that it
could take thousands of miles,
from downtown Howe to the
Nile, for Agnes and Nelda to
say those 7^ntences about
Sweatsticks* But interspersed ,
among those few commercial
words would be several mil *

Howe City Council in spec-
ial session last Thursday night

bers named O. B. Powers as
acting Police Chief and City
Clerk George Barnes as a pa-
trolman, with Barnes author-

his city position under terms
of a contract with the city,

the meeting.
In other action, council a-
gain turned' down a Federal
request to designate 20 units
of the new Westwood Manor
apartments as subsidized rent-
al units for social security and
welfare recipients. Members
were told that the refusal
would probably affect city re-
quests for financial aid (Feder
al) on future city projects. Opi
posing the motion to deny the
request was Councilwoman
Carrie Waller.
Members agreed to investi-
gate the possibility of a pri-
vately owned water system
for the city, whereby the city
would purchase water from a
contractor for custormer ser=

tact an attorney to handle de-
linquent tax accounts—
