Amazingly, many most successful Ben Franklin merchants had no nrevinns ro. tailing experience, while oth ers formerly operated grocery stores, filling stations, or other businesses outside the variety field. . Experience is not nearly as important as willingness to follow the Butler program, Briggs stated. Yearly incomes of ; Ben Franklin stores last year av erage more than S10.000 and ranged up to $40,000, accord ing to Briggs. Shopping Centers He noted that Ben Franklin stores are- designed as family shopping centers, catering to a wide range of interests and to all income groups. Selecting merchandise for this group is the heart of But ler Bros, program. The com pany's buyers interview more than 10,000 salesmen a year and visit -sorhe 2,500 sales offices and, manufacturing plants. - In a vigorous expansion program last year, 113 new Ben Franklin stores were franchiscd, and Butler Bros, sees continued growth in the future. ; Which all goes to prove that America still is the land of opportunity for the indi vidual.

Each article Is a summary of an actual case history. Tho Council reports on prolilcms that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mrs. I. R If he wants to live home, he should pay a fair amount each week. Martin A None of the oth ers chip in. Why should 1? Mrs. I. R. Martin is 20 and he's the second of our three children. His older sis ter is attending graduate school for an advanced degree in biophysics, and Nicky, out- other son, has Just entered col lege. Marty graduated last June and is working at his first full-time job. We've tried ,to explain to him that, as a wage-earner he's supposed to pay room and board no matter where he lives. The fact that he's living at home has nothing to do with it. Of course, the expense to him will certainly he less than if he had a room on the outside, and the services will be far greater. It's still his home, and we're his family, always trying to help him. But he thinks we're being unfair because the others are not paying. He even thinks it would be all right to bring a bride to live here, too! He'd pay for her room and board, he says. Martin R This is discrimi nation. I've just started to earn, I'm trying to get ahead, and my parents can't wait to get 'their hands on some of my salary. My living at home has no real effect on their overall expenses. They still have to maintain the house, and they still have tto serve meals. Why single me out to chip in? They claim the reason is that the other kids are still students and not yet "out in the world. They say it's just a postponement, and really gives the others a chance to add to the earning power so, when the tariff begins, they can pay more than I, Mean while, Mother and Dad hand them money and call it a "loan."' - As a joke, 1 told Mother the only justification for charging me room and board would be if I added a bride to the roll- call. The Council: Martin should contribute. His new status as a breadwinner should be a pride to him, placing him in a position to make things easier for his folks, As a full-fledged adult, his self-respect is at issue. Regard less of" his parents' financial situation, a man should pay a fixed per cent of his salary towards his upkeep at home. These payments-should be as regular and prompt as though to a stranger who could evict or sue him for non-payment. They constitute a debt of honor. While Mr. and Mrs. R. have been willing and patient, there's no law that children can sponge forever. Formerly, kids hustled into man-size jobs to support their parents. Anyone whose parents could support themselves was en vied. But now. with the pro longation of infancy and de pendence, it's a common pat tern' for parents to carry an endless load.

Duncan (D-Mcd-! ford) says legislation covering! three - fourths of the Demo-i cratic party program is before the legislature and the rest, including a public power bill, ! will be turned in within two I weeks. I Duncan said details of the power bill still are being worked out. But Democratic State Chairman Robert Straub a few days ago called for a state public power agency and urged its consideration at an economic conference here Feb. 14. Duncan said he has assigned various Democratic legislators to complete work on measures relating to commounity col leges, scholarship aid, mental health clinics, constitutional revision,, an Oregon Dunes park, surplus foods, and fish facilities. Already before the legisla ture are major party-backed bills including measures on Ux reform, labor and mini mum wage, civil rights, and homestead tax exemptions for the elderly. Rough Going Seen A conservative-liberal split, particularly in the senate, is expected to cause rough going for some of the proposals. Duncan said he expected the legislature to agree on a legis lative reapportionment plan without turning the job over to Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. and without delay ing the sessions. He said he considered a commission to work on con stitutional revision "the least we can do" and added re visions of he section on the legislature may be proposed this session. That could mean a change in the reapportionment formu la to protect legislative repre sentation for thinly-populated areas. Duncan said he expects to chair a hearing on the Public Water Shortage Kills Russian Sheep Moscow-IUPD Severe watei shortage was disclosed Mop- day as the major cause of death of nearly 2.5 million sheep in Soviet Premier Ni kita S. Khrushchev's pet "vir gin lands" region during 1960. The Moscow press said de tails of livestock problems in Kazakhastan Republic were reported at a recently con cluded meeting of the repub lican's Communist Party Cen tral Committee. The meeting was summoned to discuss conclusions reach ed at the January conference of top party leaders and farm experts on Russia's lagging agricultural production. At the conference, Khrushchev said that 3 million animals had died of cold and thirst in Kazakhstan. Kennedy Selects Latin American Washington-IUPD - President Kennedy has selected a Puerto Rican, Arturo Morales Car rion, to be deputy assistant secretary of slate for inter- American affairs. He is the first Puerto Rican to be named to such a high post in the State Department. His appointment Monday un derscored Kennedy's announc ed intention to launch a new good neighbor" era of great er U.S. interest in Latin Amer ica. Morales, 47, is now under-1 secretary of state for the Com monwealth of Puerto Rico. In a recent interview he said the United States must play a more active role in Latin American affairs. and failure to support them is treason. Martin has no real objec tive to chipping in. He's not the type of thankless off spring who concentrates upon seeing how much he can get away with, who is ill-prepared for life and bitter fruit of his parents. Martin just doesn't see why his contribution "matters" to his parents, when they are keeping house, anyway, for their 'other children. The thing that "matters", Martin, is that you are launched, while your brother and sister are still being equipped. You had your fair chance as a student, and you concede that it helped you reach your present state of self-sufficiency. You're in a different bracket. Vive la dif ference!
