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. " - 4

Price Regulation
By Food Chains
Slated for Study
Washsington - (UPB-House in
vestigators have vowed they
would dig "deeper and deep
er" into charges the big food
chains have conspired to set
prices which the housewife
pays for the family groceries.
A witness . told a House
Small Business subcommittee
that he was "positive" there
was such collusion.
Rep. James Roosevelt CD
Calif.), chairman of the house
unit, said his ' investigators
plan to make a detailed in
quiry of the allegation and al
so other charges. Among them
is the claim that small busi
nessmen are being "frozen
out" of new shopping centers
because lending institutions
will finance only the big food
chains.
Wants Testimony
Rep. Charles H. Brown (D
Mo.), a member of the sub
committees,' said he wants food
chain officials called to testify
on the "collusion angle" and
other price setting matters,
especially as they affect the
farmer. , '
One witness before the sub
committee, Donald P. Lloyd,
of Salt Lake City, called it
"an evil trend" which might
develop " a huge monopoly
controlling the nation's food

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
Are You a
Mosquito Raiser?
. 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.

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.
