TREESH United Press International New York - lUPH - Ameri cans like to be socialable and. not at all surprising, they like to make money. In increasing numbers, they are finding a way to. accomp lish both goals at once: they are joining investment clubs.

"3 Fresh Bartlett Pear Promotion Planned Fresh Bartlett pears from the Rogue river valley will Join other Pacific Mountain Bartlett pears going to eastern markets in a few days, to be coordinated with the move ment of early California Bart letts. Picking of Bartletts is just getting under way in the Pa cific Northwest growing dis tricts, and an intensive adver tising program in behalf of the Bartletts is being directed by the Northwest Bartlett Pear council. Radio advertis ing will start next week, on several Mid-West stations. The Pacific Mountain Bart letts will reach their peak during September and Octo ber, which is about the time when all the early California Bartletts will have been mar keted. Grown at higher eleva tions, the Mountain Bartletts mature a little later. Early Estimate The pack-nul of Pacific Mountain Bartletts is expected to range between 1,292,000 and 1,450,000 boxes, accord ing to early estimates, reports Council Manager Richard Pat terson. He said the final pack- out figures will be determined by how many tons of the luscious fruit are taken by Tanneries. In any event, this year's pack-out will be larger than last year's total of 1,168, 000 boxes. Included in this year's pro duction are more red Bartletts than ever before. These pears, tinged with a deep red color, are proving more and more popular and the bright color ing seems to have helped them develop a tremendous sales ap peal. This year's Iheme is "Sweet As Honey," which is a repeat of the successful 1961 sales ly, the modest checks the members turn over to the club treasurer will in time mush room into a sizeable nestegc. "A great majority of invest ment clubs are formed with members investing $10 a month," said Thomas E. O' Hara, chairman of the Nation- campaign. Emphasis will be made on a Bartlett pear being "a satisfying sweet" and that it is a satisfactory sweet for calorie-conscious persons. The promotion backing up this year's crop of Bartletts will be extensive radio adver tising. Approximately 7R ra dio stations will be used in 32 of the nation's major consum ing areas. New cities added to this year's promotion include Se attle, Portland, Omaha, Kans as City, SI. Louis and Des Moines. The radio promotion will begin on the Omaha, Minneapolis and Des Moines stations on Aug. 29. Retailers are being urged to feature displays of Bartletts, to take advantage of the pro motion campaign. Along with the early California Bartletts Northwest Bartletts come onto the market when supplies of other varieties of summer fruit begin to dwindle. ' Colorful over-wire hangers, with blue background and featuring large yellow-colored illustrations of Bartlett pears, as well as small clusters of pears, are being made avail able from the council's nine merchandising repre s e n I a tives. Each is well acquainted in his particular areas of Ihe country. Methodist Youths HearPortlander Salem - WW - The national Methodist Youth Conference here was told Tuesday that the "chief sickness of church people" is a failure to become adequately involved in so ciety's problems. The speaker was Dr. Daniel Taylor. Portland, pastor of Rose City Park Methodist church. In today's world, the public has grown accustomed to see ing the church "run along he hind society and bind up its wounds, rather than trying to change its course," Taylor said. He called on church people to become more involved in all social processes. The youth delegates discuss ed the ecumenical movement Tuesday night, agreeing on the need for unification of churches under the Christian umbrella, and the need to un derstand other world reli gions. New York - ll'PO - The fol lowing verbal prescription, cited in the "Professional Nursing Home'' journal, shows the way to get along with your elders: "Treat elderly people as you would like to he treated when you become old. Be un derstanding, have feeling, show empathy, accept resent ment, be sympathetic and ac cept preoccupation." FOOL'S GOLD Coloma. Calif. - H'Pli - The thief who broke into the Marshall Museum' in Gold Discovery Slale Park and made oft with a pnufch full of "nuggets'' will learn an old lesson ahnut. "all that, glit ters . . ." Harold H. Serier quisf, acting park superin tendent, said Monday that the realistic-looking nuggets,were bronze-and of no value. worth $30,000. Another mem ber withdrew part of his hold ings after several years and bought a restaurant. He now operates a chain of four eat eries, O'Hara said. The NAIC, now 11 years perold, has R.OOfl member clubs One t with a tnlal memhnrshin of more the 100,000. O'Hara said. He estimates there are about 40,000 investment clubs in the nation with an aggre gate membership of perhaps a half-million. The advantage of the in vestment club approach to in vesting. O'Hara said, is two fold: it helps the member to develop the investing habit and it teaches him how to invest wisely. The personable NAIC chair man, the group's only paid official, puts special empha- sis on the educational factor! of club membership. ! Study Market i He said that at the clubs' i regular meetings, members imake detailed reports on two or three corporations. They compare the stocks reported on. ones previously discussed and study market conditions and the various securities' long-term performance before making their decisions to buy. O'Hara said the most suc cessful clubs followed three principles advocated by the national association: Invest regularly. Reinvest dividends to take advantage of the com pounding factor. - Select stocks for growth, those which perform better than the industry in general. Is an inexperienced invest or, as a member of a new club, likely to lose his shirt? No, said O'Hara. "When a club first starts, the memherj do not have much money tied up in it," he said. "As the money growl, so does the members' expert' ence." Five Small Fires j Reported in State j Salem ilTI) Five small fires were reported Tuesday on state and association protected , lands, the Oregon Forestry De partment said.
