Lipton and Phillips Companies
Withdraw ‘Maude’ Show Ads
In response to protests by opponents
of abortion, two sponsors have disclosed
that they have asked the CBS-TV
network not to run their commercials
during the “Maude” program.
A CBS executive later said he was not
aware that any corporations had
dropped their advertising because of the
protests.
The firm said they took the action
after receiving protests against their
advertisements run during the two-part
“Maude” program last November in
which abortion and vasectomy allegedly
were treated frivolously by the comedy
show’s chief actors.
“Although any attempt at censorship
on our part would be inappropriate, we
have withdrawn from all future
participation in this program,” said
Marie McDemottt, manager of the
consumer service department of the
Thomas J. Lipton Company, which has
its headquarters in Englewood Cliffs,
N.J.
“We have discussed this matter with
the CBS television newtwork and even
though their mail from viewers of
‘Maude’ is both pro and con, we have
reevaluated our purchase of time on the
show,” said George A. Games,
advertising director for the North
American Philips Company of New
York City. “Your opinion and that of
others who have written to us had a
very important bearing on our decision
not to continue.”
In New York, CBS advertising
executive Robert Jameson said: “I am
not aware that any people taking
advertising time in the ‘Maude’ show
have backed out.”
“But if they did vacate over
dissatisfaction with the program, I can
assure you that the vacant advertising
time slot would be one of the easiest to
fill in all of television,” he added.
He said that since the controversial
program dealing with abortion was
aired, the CBS network has had no
difficulty in finding sponsors for the
show. “And the waiting line is getting
longer,” he said.
Mrs. McDermott and Games made
their comments in separate letters to
Charles Russell of Los Angeles, Calif., a
reader of the Los Angeles diocesan
newspaper, The Tidings, Russell had
written to the firms after The Tidings
had urged its readers to protest the
“Maude” program on abortion and
vasectomy after it was broadcast in two
parts on Nov. 14 and 21.
The letters from Mrs. McDermott and
Games were printed in the Dec. 29,
1972 issue of The Tidings. A third
letter, from Walter Trueman, advertising
services director for the Pepsi-Cola
Company of Purchase, N.Y., said the
soft-drink manufacturer regretted
objections to programs during which its
commercial ran but did not say it would
ask the network to keep its
advertisements off the “Maude” show.
Officials fbr the Lipton company,
which produces food goods, and Philips,
which markets the Norelco electric
razor, confirmed they had asked CBS to
withdraw their commercials from the
“Maude” program.
St. Thomas Women
‘Adopt’ Octogenerian
One is never too old to be “adopted.”
At least, that’s the way members of the
Council of Catholic Women at St.
William’s parish on St. Simons Island
feel, anyway.
Over the Christmas holidays, they
decided to “adopt” octogenerian Miss
Mary E. Coffee, a resident at nearby
Brunswick Convalescent Center. Miss
Coffee is a native of Savannah.
And it’s not just a ‘one shot’ affair
with the ladies of St. Thomas. When
you “adopt” someone, that means
you’re supposed to care about her - to
really make her feel like one of the
family.
So members of St. Thomas Council
plan to visit her regularly at the Center,
to invite her into their homes for meals,
week-end visits and outings, and by
various and sundry other means to make
“Miss Mary” feel that they’re really
‘Kinfolk.’
b. -
According to Mrs. Syvil Yursich,
President of St. William’s Council of
Catholic Women, “Miss Mary is an avid
bingo buff and a real help and cheerful
influence among the other guests at the
Convalescent Center.”
An old saying has it that Christmas
comes but once a year, but it appears
that Miss Mary E. Coffee received the
best gift of all this past Christmas, one
that keeps on giving all through the
year.

LANSING, Mich. (NC) -- Enrollment
in Michigan nonpublic schools, most of
them Catholic, dropped by 115,000 --
more than one third - from 1967 to
1972, but that decline has now slowed
significantly, according to state
statistics. School consolidations and the
“gradual educating of Catholic parents
to the need for larger tuitions” were
reasons given by Catholic officials for
the levelling of enrollment figures.

A PRIEST
IN YOUR
FAMILY?
THE HOLY FATHER'S MISSION AID TO THE ORIENTAL CHURCH
Have you ever wished your family had a priest?
Now you can have a ‘priest of your own’—and
share forever in all the good he does. . . .
Throughout the Near East each year, grateful
bishops ordain hundreds of new priests trained
by people like you. . . . Their own families are
A too poor to support them in training, but good
FUTURE Catholics in America ‘adopted’ these seminar-
PRIEST ians, encouraged them all the way to ordina-
NEEDS tion. ... In some inspiring cases, this support
YOUR was given at personal sacrifice. . . . How can
HELP you begin? Write to us now. We’ll send you
the name of a young seminarian who needs
you, and he will write to you. Make the pay
ments for his training to suit your convenience
($15.00 a month, or $180 a year, or the total
$1,080 all at once). Join your sacrifices to his,
and at every Sacrifice of the Mass, he will
always remember who made it possible.

FOOD
BUDGETS
Look at the nearest $10 bill. What is it actually
worth? Only what it will buy. Today, it will hardly
buy enough to feed a family for two days. In the
Holy Land, it will feed a poor refugee family for
an entire month. The Holy Fathers asks your help
for the refugees, more than half of them chil
dren. Your money multiplies—as you give it away.
Why not send us your Mass requests right now?
Simply list your intentions, and then you can
rest assured the Masses will be offered by
MASS FOR... priests in India, the Holy Land and Ethiopia,
who receive no other income. . . . Remind us to
send you information about Gregorian Masses,
too. You can arrange now to have Gregorian
Masses offered for yourself, or for another,
after death.
