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. She'll Love ll!

Council
Editor's Note: The Family Conn
cil consists of a Judge, a psychia
trist, three clergymen, a newspaper
editor, a women's editor and two
writers. 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. Young people

Details of Power
Measure Studied,
Duncan Declares
Salem - 1UPII - House Speak'
er Robert B. 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! And show it, by pay
ing your way. .
