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. .' '

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.

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.

ing and false advertising on
fabrics and furs. 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.
