By STAFF WRITER'
DERHAPS one of the most neglected pages in the newspaper is the
classified ad section.
Strange as it seems, it is the one page packed
full of human interest—human interest in a few terse phrases, the bare
facts as it were, but bare facts which carry with them a wealth of meaning.
In the classified ad there is human interest of a kind which never hits
the front pages—interest which deals, not with society’s upper four hundred
nor its lowest trash, but with the general round of people, the Toms, Dicks,
and Harrys. the Bettys. Janes, and Doro.thys---- just ordinary citizens of
the city.
A LIGHT IN DOROTHY'S EYES
Take the marriage notices.
“Mitchell-Smith:
On Monday, June
>0. 1941. at North Vancouver, by the Rev. Joe Doe, Tom Smith, young
est son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith, to Dorothy, only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. Mitchell. 2212 W. 14th”. Now. who is Tom Smith? Just
an ordinary fellow, making his way. with perhaps enough money saved up
to make a down payment on a living room suite, a good job. and a peach
of a girl. Sure, they’ll never make the front pages. They’ll not move
into a seven-room bungalow. No.
They’ll start from, scratch, with a
two room flat and a radio. But there's a light in Dorothy’s eyes . . ,
Mr. and Mrs. Average Newly-weds of Vancouver!
Death too. stalks the pages---- announced, not in gory details or in
simpering sentimental eulogies. “Gordon: Passed peacefully away June
27, at Vancouver General Hospital, after a short illness. George Arthur
Gordon, 518 W. 5th”. George Gordon, a swell, quiet, hardworking guy.
with a cute little youngster, a strapping son at college, and a gentle little
wife. Yesterday, he was talking over the garden fence with the man next
door about summer vacations, and the new fishing tackle he was going to
use next week. He hadn’t had a vacation for almost two years. The new
tackle hangs unused in the basement. He died as he had lived, quietly.
And only his friends will mourn. George Gordon, farewell!
THE PORT OF LONELY HEARTS
The personal column is the port of lonely souls, the haven for the
desperate, the last resort of the frustrated. Here, all those unvoiced secret
desires and dreams, those things which make life miserable and tragic, are
expressed in a handful of words.
“Respectable widower (45) wishes to meet home-loving widow
(35-40), fond of children. Object matrimony. Box 0010. Province”'.
Somewhere in the city lives a lonely man.
He seeks companionship, a
home, material comforts. Surely, somewhere there is another lonely heart,
willing to go down the twilight road to old age with him?
And so,
respectable widower, 45, pays a few cents, assured of secrecy, turns to the
classified ad. to pour out his secret longing at so much an insertion. The
tragedy of old age.
“X:
You misunderstand. Please let me explain.

girl Bunny, it is a heartbroken plea. A lovers’ quarrel, a family break-up.
a girl in trouble, who knows.
And who knows but that at this very
moment, the morning paper is being scanned with a beating heart, and an
anxious glance? Will he phone? He must or ... . The tragedy7 of
youth'.
Classified ads do not all deal with tragic incidents. It has its lighter
side. Here, one meets Mr. Average Citizen, with his share of super-egoism,
super-optimism, his supcr-salesmanhip.
Are you lonely?
Are you looking for a husband?
For a slight
remuneration, he can be obtained through the classified ads. Mr. Average
Citizen's line in such cases, are these.
“Arc you lonely?

suffering from baldness, illness? His line is “U-nccd-me-Pills for indi

SITUATIONS WANTED
Then there are the situations wanted ads—which throw into relief
the army of unemployed, walking the streets, looking for work, finding
none, and turning to this special feature of the daily newspaper in search
of employment.
No sob stories here, but a short description of their
qualifications, their abilities, with a phone number or a box number.
These are Vancouver.citizens, average people, with no strange complexes,
no long-nourished hates against society, no melodramatic twists of nature
just ordinary people who make the backbone of a city, firm in the
belief that for those who seek work and are willing to sweat for it, there
is something.
Yes, the classified ads arc packed with human interest—with human
interests minus the frills.

By STAFF WRITER'
DERHAPS one of the most neglected pages in the newspaper is the
classified ad section.
Strange as it seems, it is the one page packed
full of human interest—human interest in a few terse phrases, the bare
facts as it were, but bare facts which carry with them a wealth of meaning.
In the classified ad there is human interest of a kind which never hits
the front pages—interest which deals, not with society’s upper four hundred
nor its lowest trash, but with the general round of people, the Toms, Dicks,
and Harrys. the Bettys. Janes, and Doro.thys---- just ordinary citizens of
the city.
A LIGHT IN DOROTHY'S EYES
Take the marriage notices.
“Mitchell-Smith:
On Monday, June
>0. 1941. at North Vancouver, by the Rev. Joe Doe, Tom Smith, young
est son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith, to Dorothy, only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. Mitchell. 2212 W. 14th”. Now. who is Tom Smith? Just
an ordinary fellow, making his way. with perhaps enough money saved up
to make a down payment on a living room suite, a good job. and a peach
of a girl. Sure, they’ll never make the front pages. They’ll not move
into a seven-room bungalow. No.
They’ll start from, scratch, with a
two room flat and a radio. But there's a light in Dorothy’s eyes . . ,
Mr. and Mrs. Average Newly-weds of Vancouver!
Death too. stalks the pages---- announced, not in gory details or in
simpering sentimental eulogies. “Gordon: Passed peacefully away June
27, at Vancouver General Hospital, after a short illness. George Arthur
Gordon, 518 W. 5th”. George Gordon, a swell, quiet, hardworking guy.
with a cute little youngster, a strapping son at college, and a gentle little
wife. Yesterday, he was talking over the garden fence with the man next
door about summer vacations, and the new fishing tackle he was going to
use next week. He hadn’t had a vacation for almost two years. The new
tackle hangs unused in the basement. He died as he had lived, quietly.
And only his friends will mourn. George Gordon, farewell!
THE PORT OF LONELY HEARTS
The personal column is the port of lonely souls, the haven for the
desperate, the last resort of the frustrated. Here, all those unvoiced secret
desires and dreams, those things which make life miserable and tragic, are
expressed in a handful of words.
“Respectable widower (45) wishes to meet home-loving widow
(35-40), fond of children. Object matrimony. Box 0010. Province”'.
Somewhere in the city lives a lonely man.
He seeks companionship, a
home, material comforts. Surely, somewhere there is another lonely heart,
willing to go down the twilight road to old age with him?
And so,
respectable widower, 45, pays a few cents, assured of secrecy, turns to the
classified ad. to pour out his secret longing at so much an insertion. The
tragedy of old age.
“X:
You misunderstand. Please let me explain.

girl Bunny, it is a heartbroken plea. A lovers’ quarrel, a family break-up.
a girl in trouble, who knows.
And who knows but that at this very
moment, the morning paper is being scanned with a beating heart, and an
anxious glance? Will he phone? He must or ... . The tragedy7 of
youth'.
Classified ads do not all deal with tragic incidents. It has its lighter
side. Here, one meets Mr. Average Citizen, with his share of super-egoism,
super-optimism, his supcr-salesmanhip.
Are you lonely?
Are you looking for a husband?
For a slight
remuneration, he can be obtained through the classified ads. Mr. Average
Citizen's line in such cases, are these.
“Arc you lonely?

suffering from baldness, illness? His line is “U-nccd-me-Pills for indi

SITUATIONS WANTED
Then there are the situations wanted ads—which throw into relief
the army of unemployed, walking the streets, looking for work, finding
none, and turning to this special feature of the daily newspaper in search
of employment.
No sob stories here, but a short description of their
qualifications, their abilities, with a phone number or a box number.
These are Vancouver.citizens, average people, with no strange complexes,
no long-nourished hates against society, no melodramatic twists of nature
just ordinary people who make the backbone of a city, firm in the
belief that for those who seek work and are willing to sweat for it, there
is something.
Yes, the classified ads arc packed with human interest—with human
interests minus the frills.
