Theyll Do It Ever Time - By Jimmy Hatlo How ULTRA-CLEAN. HOW SAKJITARy THE WAY THEY SERVE THE POOD- UNTOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS But get a gander at the way the foodstuff is delivered- ' LJ OFF 10 DAN HlGfilMS, LAQCHMONT, N.Y. Texas Man's Plan Eliminates Monthly Check Writing Chores Br ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor , New York-flJPD-That month ly chore of writing separate checks for gas and electricity, telephone, gasoline, cred it cards, and the like would be eliminated under a plan drawn up by a Texas adver tising man. Leonard E B. Andrews of Dallas, writ ing in the American Banker, A 1. f . A daily Danmng newspaper, out line a method wherehv cus- tomera would tell their cred itor to send bills to their bank. The bank would pay .the bills and send a record and the bills for scrutiny to the depositor, :sucn pian, it is explained, would generally eliminate the use of a clearing house, cut down the number of checks sent and incidentally build business for , the bank. ' Andrews lists two plans- an item authorization plan, and an automatic - payment plan. Under the latter, the bank pays the bills and sends you a statement. Under the item , authorization plan, the DanK .usu . uie Dim it , xias received for you and you in dicate if you want them paid, return the slip, and the deed is done. Bank Would Charge Fee Theres a little catch in all thls-the bank would charge a ee which Andrews didn't work out. Here's one example of a big saving in the operation as outlined. Suppose 1,000 of a bank's customers had their telephone bills sent to the bank for payment. The telephone company wouldn't send 1,000 separate envelopes with four-cent stamps on each of them to the bank. It would send over the 1,000 bills in one package which would be like a de posit if it had an account in the bank. And the bank wouldn't even have to write a check to pay them, Banks could set up an au tomatic line of credit for its depositors to be drawn upon in event it was necessary In paying the bills, Andrews explains. This would be an other form of additional bus iness for the bank. The. customer could be sure always to get his dis count where one was avail able for prompt payment be cause the bank could be re lied upon -to -be prompt. .. CENTRAL POINT Woman Honored at Events BY DORIS HUGHES Central Point - Mrs. O.'T. Wilson recently attended an outdoor barbecue at the home of her nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen J.-Dodge, Medford. Refetives who visited Sun- aay hi me nome ux iviio. j. Wilson to help her celebrate her birthday were Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Wilson and son, Richard. Camp White: Mr. and Mrs.- Harry Tonn, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dunn, all Cen tral Point; Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Nealon, Table Rock; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Leavitt, Old Stage Td. and Mr. and Mrs. Dave .Schneider and . son, Davie, who have - just '' moved here from China Lake, Calif. . Of Interest to local resi dents is the appointment by Gov. Mark Hatfield of Wil liam P. Grimes of Klamath Falls and James W. Mbrrell of Portland to the state hydro electric commission. Grimes, who succeeds Fred C. Dillard of Tillamook who resigned, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Grimes, Gold Beach, and a graduate of Central Point High school. Mrs. Grimes is the former Avis Ayers, daugh ter of Mrs. Arthur Ayers, Central Point. . Grimes is an instructor at Oregon Technical institute. Mr. and Mrs. Grimes and their sons,-David and Danny, will leave for Corvallis where Grimes will attend the sum mer session at Oregon State college. Guests recently at the home of Mfs.- Ayers were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis'Grlmes, Gold Beach. ' visitors at the home of Mrs. Don Thumler were Mrs. Sid Baker and children Jeanie, Judy, and Jack, Rogue River. Jeanie remained a few days to visit and to attend Bible school. Mrs. Andrew Haugen of Sheridan, Ore. left for her home recently after visiting a week at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lacy. Mrs. Lacy's sister, Mrs. Phillip Scott, Mc Minnville, arrived with her father to visit the Lacy fam ily and to take Mrs. Haugen back to Sheridan. The Lacy's new daughter, Brenda Ann, was born June 8.' Also the customer wouldn't need to fear over-drawing his account. The bank would see that he didn't, Andrews points out that the bank in no way interferes with the custmer's credit re lationship with his creditors, "The bank acts only as a credit clearing house for its customers and their creditors. "If a customer is unable or chooses not to pay a particu lar merchant during the month, the merchant rebills him as - he normally would "In the case of regular monthly payments such as in surance premiums, mortgage payments, installment loan payments, or e v e ft regular monthly dues to a club, the customer lists them with the bank in the beginning, and they appear on his regular monthly item authorization sheet along with his accumu lated bills for the month." The system. would involve more bank bookkeeping, but there would be better income for the bank and the service rendered would be a valuable asset for the customer, An drews indicates. He holds that the future of competitive banking lies in better service to the cutomer and other things being equal, the - customer , will go where the service is' best. . And the bank also would make friends with the utility or other company for which it handles bills because of the saving that could come in postage, sorting, and other de tails connected with mailing out monthly bills.

Before you "blow your top" because your sensitive skin is being punctured by the sharp sting of the female mosquitos, look closely and carefully at your back yard and see if mos quitoes that are biting you are not being raised on your own home grounds. The chances are that many of them are. By general spraying we might eventually kill off most of the mosquito-eating Insects. We could, and, have, pretty well reduced the population of bats, and a great many of the birds who feed on insects and mosquit oes. Eradication of these beneficial creatures is relatively easy, but we still have the mosquitoes. Even drainage will not en tirely solve the problem, and part of the reason is that we are. apt to look too far away from home. Harboring Them S(ome of the people who hol ler Ihe loudest because some body "doesn't do something about it" are sheltering and harboring the pests oh their own lots, and around their own homes. Mosquitoes don't need a stagnant pool in which to raise their young; they are raised in goodly numbers in empty tin cans, flower vases, and a wide assortment of mis cellaneous receptacles that can be found in or around nearly every home. Evena hole in a concrete wall or 'sidewalk, where your garden spray keeps it comfort ably wet, can become a nur sery for mosquitoes. A low spot in your yard or gardeh, where water stands for a time after a rain, or after the lawn is sprinkled, makes an ideal place for mosquito larvae to develop. , Walk along the beach, back away from the water's edge.

Robinson Al Potter John Ripley : Hank Hart Chris Barker High waves and flooding tides have left countless empty sea shells lying there, and each one of then that happens to be open side up will collect dew or rainwater and become just the nicesttplace in the world for the use of a female mos quito. Eadh shell becomes a little ocean in which a fam ily of baby insects can be raised.' A Coincidence? : Once, just before a heavy rain,M found empty shells on a beach that , were perfectly dry but which contained many mosquito eggs. It may have been coincidence but I sus pect that some way or other, the mosquitoes anticipated the coming rain and laid -their eggs in shells that would later become little pools of water. They seemed to know that the egg pressure could be re lieved by hunting out the em pty shells and at the same time the elements would furn ish the necessary water in which the larvae could de velop. ' . If you have a pool In your backyard, it, too, is a magnet that will draw the attention of the mosquitbes. But if you had the foresight to place fish, even goldfish, in the pool, then you have nothing to wor ry about. Let mama mosquito lay all the eggs she wants to, as fast as they hatch and turn into larvae the fish will gobble them up, and you can have the last laugh for the joke will be on the mosquitoes.
