On Grocery 8iz
Grocery jobbing as a stable

ulating or plunging was discussed
in the sale management class of
Dr. N. H. Cornish Thursday after
-noon by Paul Lafferty of the R. E.
Lafferty & Sons firm of Eugene.
Lafferty explained the qualifica
tions for salesmen in the whole
sale grocery line and said that per
sonal appearance, ability to talk,
and ability to get along with
others were three of the most im
portant factors.
It may be a. tough comedown for
■ college graduates to begin their
gelling career in the warehouse
and driving a truck, he said, but
six months of that kind of exper

salesman when he goes on the

Vet Enrollment
Up 13 Per Cent
Nearly 13 per cent more veter
ans were enrolled in Oregon’s col
leges and schools at the start of
winter term than were counted
?arly in fall term, Richard Men
der, veterans administration train
ing officer here, reported today.
As of January 31, VA rolls
showed 19,623 ex-GIs in schools,
in increase of 2241 over figures
for the end of last October. This
is about 200 below the all time
classroom crest of early Decem
ber.
Job Training Down
In contrast to schools, on-the
job training has dropped off stead
ily since its peak of a year ago.
Veterans in training under em
ployers numbered 3957 at the end
of last month, only 40 per cent
of last year’s high.
Schools of higher learning, which
account for the majority of all
veteran trainees, listed 13,498 at
the end of January, about 2000
more than in the first month of
fall term but just 24 less than a
year ago.
Farm training, now classified as
day is past when a salesman’s big
gest problem was to attempt to
ration out the scant stocks in the
warehouse and still maintain his
friendship with his customers. He
related that today competition is
stronger than ever and a salesman
must again use demonstrations
and all the sales arts to stay in the
running.
National advertising has become
the biggest asset to selling in the
grocery business, concluded Laf
ferty.

istration in connection with its
hospital program.
institutional, was taken by 947
ex-GIs at latest count, and nearly
1800 were inflight training.
Disabled veterans under pub-,'
lie law 16 include 1486 in Oregon
schools and 1086 in job training.
Rehabilitation training, though
greater than a year ago, has not
expanded since last October.
