West Virginia ad plan outlines agency role and commissions
Goodman of the Robert Goodman Agency outlined that the $35,000 advertising revenue will come from agency commissions on magazines and newspapers and a 1 percent production markup. He noted standard commissions of 15 percent, with some outdoor magazines at 17 to 17.5 percent, and said the state ultimately pays for ads regardless of who places them. Moore described the agency’s duties, the media selection being the Commerce Department’s sole discretion, and urged corrections to false reports.

Lawyers Hired To Represent Scary Group Members
Members of the Scary Action committee met with George Stokes in a church in Big Scary Creek to discuss legal rights regarding busing children to Rock Branch School in the Nitro area. About 25 parents attended as Stokes outlined options and chances of success for action. Mullins said safety and crossing the Interstate 64 bridge drive opposition, while criticising the school board as unsympathetic. The group favors more schools and better equipment amid tax concerns and proposals to reduce taxes by 10 percent.
