Women Find A Shoe That Fits—Maybe! Denver, Nov. 19—It all started about noon today when shoe salesman Clarence Hopper, Jr., tried a gray slipper on Miss Louise Davidson and inadver tantly put the mate on the coun ter. As Miss Davidson walked around to get the feel of the shoe, another women wandered in and tried on the mate. Both de cided that was the shoe for them. “But I already had the shoe on,” said Miss Davidson. “But it was sitting on the counter,” said the other. They sat at opposite ends of the store ahd glared. After 15 minutes Hopper de cided it was time for lunch. Other clerks tried to solve the dispute. They suggested flip ping a coin, or different colors “Certainly not,” was the answer. Miss Davidson herself sug gested: “Look, my right foot is a little larger than my left. I’ll take the left ? 1-2 and a right— A, and you can have the others.” "No,” said the other "I pick ed this shoe up off the counter and At 2:30 p. m. they were still sitting. Hopper was still at lunch. Then in walked a reporter and a photographer. The unidentified woman kick ed off the grey shoe, slipped on her own and disappeared out the door. Miss Davidson paid for the shoes and left in triumph. • “You know something,’’ said a clerk who had tried to act as peacemaker, "that shoe didn’t fit either of them.” Newspapers Best Medium Los Angeles — A savings and loan business report today says it favors newspapers as its most ef fective advertising medium The report came from the ad vertising and business develop ment committee of the United States Savings and Loan League, holding its 62nd annual conven tion here. It said that a survey of more than 100 leading savings and loan associations throughout the na tion showed that 32 per cent of their 1954 .advertising budgets went to newsapers. Radio was the runner-up medium, with 19 per cent. Sylvester Wood, Milwaukee, committee chairman, said the na tion’s savings and loan business plans to spend 40 million dollars in advertising in 1955. The survey also showed that 11 per cent of the institutions polled plan to increase their advertising appropriations next year, 30 per cent of them planning a boost of moe than 15 per cent. Seventy- eight per cent ranked savings promotion as the "most import- ant” advertising aim. , Where Democrocy Of Brown Floyor Was Solid Recent years have sthown that the word “Democrat” has losts its charm in South Carolina. Some so-called politicians profess they can't understand it. These sim ple facts might help to convince any who have doubts. In Co lumbia Ward 9 is a negro ward. It voted 10 to 1 for “Mr. Demo crat” Brown, whilq all the rest of Columbia voted 10 to 1 for Thurmond. In the negro pre- cints 4 and 5 at Darlington, South Carolina, Edgar Brown, receiv ed 732 votes, Thurmond receiv ed exactly 0, meaning zero. Ward 9 in Columbia and precincts 4 and 5 in Darlington were solidly "Democratic.” This is a cold, matter of fact explanation of the loss of face’of the word “Demo crat” in South Carolina. — The Easley Progress.
