The Eagle " Point Lions Auxiliary was hostess to the Eagle Point Jayceettes, Jay cees, and the Lions Nov. 23 in the grade school cafeteria. Rene Danciger, a student from Peru, was the guest speaker. Danciger spoke on the economic, geograpnic, ana educational similarities and differences of Peru and the U.S. A discussion period fol lowed his talk. Education in Peru from the first grade through college is free unless a parochial school is attended. The schools are not large enough to handle" all the college stu dents and thus makes compe tition at college age very great. Some people wait sev eral years between high school and college in order to attend, and a high school education is required there. The cost of two terms of col lege in the U.S. would put anyone through four years of college in Peru, he said. The ground is so overly fertile that it is actually cheaper to buy lumber from the U.S.vthan to log off their own forests, according to Danciger. The rapid growth and regrowth of vegetation j makes it impossible to build road through their forests at this time. Peru's most mod ern architectural buildings are in the central part of the country. .' ' When asked about the per centage of juvenile delinquen cy in comparison to that of Beach, Fla., Research and Development Center. The XLR 115 is expected to open new fields of achievement for missiles and space vehicles. (UPI Telephoto)- the U.S., Danciger stated that percentage - wise theirs was much less because youngsters have no need' to forge identi fication and licenses etc. in order to do things. He quoted as an example that a young ster there can go to the counter and get a glass of beer when he cafi toddle, taste it and find it is bitter and no longer want it. Here, he said, the drinking of beer is more to obtain it because they know theyi shouldn't have it and are forbidden it. Getting away with one thing leads to greater things, he added. A quartet led by Oscar Bjorlie of .the Southern Ore gon College presented several selections during the evening. President Mrs. Thomas Van Etten introduced Mr. and Mrs. Ed Kimell, presi dent of the Jayceettes; Mr. and Mrs.. Xon Kimell, presi dent of the Jaycees, and Mr. and Mrs. Davies, president of the Lions club. Refreshments were - served by co-hostesses Mrs. Glenn Hale, Mrs. G.

Oil Dealer FTC to Seek Public's Help in Phony Advertising Crackdown Washington - (UPE-The Fed eral Tride commission has an nounced it will seek the pub lic's help in cracking down on phony advertising and sales trickery. The commission announced that a "conference on public deception" will be held here Dec. 21-22, with 47 represen tatives of . major civic pro fessional and welfare groups invited to sit in. The conference will not be confined to payola and decep tive broadcast commercials, with which the FTC is ndw concerned, but will extend to all fields of advertising and sales where shady practices exist." ' As the federal government's policeman in the world of business, the FTC's main task is seeing that sharp operators do not fleece the public, and that businesses do not use un fair tactics against each other. Of Great Assistance FTC Chairman Earl W. , Kintner said the commission believes an alerted public can be of great, assistance in forcing the trade laws. "It stands to reason," he said, "that tricky advertising and merchandising become futile when viewed under the sharp eyes of educated buyers, It is our hope that this con ference will expose to a wide audience of consumers some of the trickery, that besets them. "We at the commission be lieve that the combination of hard-hitting enforcement, plus the encouragement of public skepticism toward spurious bargains, will go far toward achieving an honest market place." If the meeting has solid re sults, Kintner said, more con ferences will be scheduled. An inter-agency study group of the President's council of economic advisers proposed such a conference, Kintner said. Up for discussion the first day will be such subjects as fictitious pricing, bait adver tising, trickery in direct sell- Morton Optimistic Over GOP Chances Washington-(UPD-Republican National Chairman Thruston B. Morton says he is more op timistic about his party's chances next year because of the lift that President Eisen hower has given to the GOP. Morton said there has been a resurgence of Republican power since the Democrats swept the congressional elec tions in 1958. The first reason, he said, is that Eisenhower is "more closely identified" with his party. The GOP chairman's con clusions were based in part on talks with Republican leaders at 129 party meetings since Congress adjourned. Niagara Falls, Ont.

The second i day will be devoted to spur- j ious offers concerning self betterment courses, including phony correspondence schools and deceitful money - making propositions. The aim is to have groups represented at the conference conduct grass-roots education al programs exposing these, various gimmicks and schemes and alerting citizens. The FTC, along with other government agencies, is pri marily concerned just now with a number of practices in the broadcasting industry, in cluding payola and advertis ing which either misleads the public or is in poor taste. The commission issued com plaints recently against three record firms and six distribu ting agencies, charging they showered gifts on disc jockeys for plugging their products. The FTC charged that this practice misled the public and tended to ' restrain trade by giving the firms unfair ad vantage . over their competi tors. Record Firms Named The Radio Corporation of America was one of the record firms named. The others were London Records, Inc., of New York, and Bernard Lowe En terprises, Inc., of Philadelphia. The accused distributors are Edward S. Barsky, Inc.; Chips Distributing Co., Inc.; David Rosen, Inc.; Universal Record Distributing Corp.; Sparks Music' Distributors, Inc.; and Main Line Cleveland, Inc. The first five firms are in Phila delphia, the last in Cleveland, Ohio. Some of the companies' of ficers also were made parties to the action., The firms have 30 days to answer the complaints, and then the cases go before a hearing, examiner. ' If the charges are upheld, the firms will be ordered to halt the practice or run the risk of civil prosecution and possible fines.
