ederal Reserve System Subject of Bankers Meeting "What the Federal Reserve Does lor You" was discussed by J. A. Randall, vice presi dent of the Federal Reserve, at a meeting of the Rogue Valley chapter, American In stitute of Banking, at Hud rick Junior High school last week. He reviewed the history of the Federal Reserve system. which began when Woodrow Wilson signed the act in 1913. The Portland branch has been in existence since 1917. The Federal Reserve Banks offer many services which benefit not only bankers, but businessmen and the general public as well, he noted. One service Is the collec tion of checks. A businessman may take a deposit of checks from all over the country to his bank, and the funds will be collected from the vari ous banks in two days. The time a few years ago was seven days. Also Supplies Cash The Reserve Banks also sup ply cash to member banks, and ship coin and currency at no cost to members. They also can control the economy somewhat by raising or lower ing reserves required on de posit of their members, by raising or lowering the dis count rate, or by their "Open Market" operations, that is buying or selling government securities. They also can con trol the amount ol money flowing in or out of the coun try - "balance of payments." Among the other services are safekeeping of securities for banks, telegraphing mon ey or securities anywhere in the world, reissue of govern ment securities and bonds, and keeping an account for withholding taxes and excise taxes paid by employers. Member banks may also borrow from the Federal Re serve during seasonal needs. One of the most Important functions is the printing and Issuing of paper money, Ran dall noted. One more seminar is planned by the Rogue Valley chapter in April on "Fraud Detection, Embezzlement, and Robbery and Ways of Com batting It."

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF AFTER DAYS OF unceasing rain it became obvious that the turbulent Missouri was about to overflow its banks. An experienced farmer whose homestead bordered the river packed his 12-year-old son up and sent him to his uncle in the next state, asking that he be taken care of until the situation righted Itself. Three days later the farmer received a collect telegram that read, "Am returning your son im mediately. Send along the flood!" A businessman's car broke down In a lonely part of Vermont late one night, and he considered himself lucky to find a farmer willing to give him a bed. The business man made It clear that he had to be up looking for a repairman at tlx the next moming to keep an Important appointment In Manchester. "I'm rather hard of hearing," he told the farmer, "so you'll have to make a special effort." He awoke the, next morning to find tt was almost ten o'clock. He Jumped angrily from his bed. ready to give the farmer what for, only to find this note under his door. "Please wake up, mister. It's six o'clock." ' New twist on the man-from-out-of-spuce routine: two Mar tians popped up at a Las Vegas gambling casino, and spotted a slot machine. "Oh, look," exclaimed one to Uio other. "A slot machlno!"

Ha Who Laughs at Others May Look Funny Himielf Like iron filings attracted to a magnet, the visitors to a zoo moslly congregate about the monkey cage. There they will spend more lime than at any other attraction. And the little, human-like animals inside the cage make the most of the attention they are getting by grandstanding and showing off. Stand for a few minutes by a monkey cage and focus your attention on the humans instead of the monkeys. You will be sur prised at what you see and hear. Such expressions as, "I could stand and watch these things all day. Aren't they funny? Don't they look lust like little old men?" , . . and, "Monkeys are the craziest people." People laugh at monkey shines. The antics of the little animals amuse children and adults alike, and the reason Is somewhat deeper than most By J lmmi Hatlo ALSO THAT PALL- HIS POR TOO .'

W ATKINS (Register and Tribune' Syndicate, 1963) of us realize or suspect. Actually, we arc amused be cause thoso little animals are portraying human actions in a morc-or-lcss monkey-like caricature of ourselves. The startling similarity, both in bodily build and what they do, parallels so closely human looks and actions that we are fascinated without being whol ly conscious of how monkey like many of us act or even look. We completely overlook the fact we might appear pretty funny ourselves. Just fur your own enlight enment, visit a zoo on a rainy day some time when there are no people present. Keep out of sight but in a position where you can sec without being seen by the inhabitants of the monkey cage. Chances arc you will find there is very little in the way of monkey shines going on. In fact the little animals will be acting pretty bored, almost listless. Then, watch as people start In gather in front of the cage. This is the ideal situation for the monkey-folk, and they will make the most of it. With an audience present they will begin to show off like the hu man exhibitionist on the div ing board or at the beach. The monkeys put on the act, iry ing to be as funny as they feel. They want to display their dexterity and clever ness, and to be as man-like as tlicy are monkey-like. Many limes we see our selves as others sec us. por trayed by an animal in a cage. We many laugh at what we call monkey-shines, or how a caged creature is built, when in reality we may look pretty funny to others that watch us. The animal may be normal (or Its kind. In the course of its evolu tionary adaplion. the animal has developed ttie body form or actions which are differe.it than the usual . If the animal is one Willi which we are not familiar, we think it looks i funny. We niv even feel sor ry for it because it is so ri diculous.

T.-I don't want to invest In their business. Henry TThat's no way for a mother to talk or act. Mrs. Y. T.-I'm a widow of 61 with two married sons. After my husband's death I in vested a large part of the money he left me in a neigh borhood business. I have noth ing to do with running it, but it's a successful enterprise and pays me a good income. I can live nicely from the return, with no need to touch my cap ital or savings. Now my sons come along with a request that I pull out of that investment and use the money instead to back them in a luncheonette opening. Al though I love my children, I must admit that they make better employees than bosses. 1 have no confidence in their ability to conduct a business. They've had no experience on Ihcir own. I'll try to help them modest ly, but not as an investor.

The man thought the enor mous bill on the bird was about the most ridiculous thing he had ever seen.

Of course we can't promise her exactly the return she's get ting now. Not at first. But we'll provide for her needs and see that she wants for nothing. And after a few years, she'll draw more from our business than she'll ever get from the one that now has her money. Just because we've always worked for somebody else is no reason for our mother to assume we can't run our own business. We think we know the ropes of the restaurant game. We have a chance to pick up a good location. Why should -we have to go to a bank or a finance company for capital? Our mother should have enough faith in us to advance it. . . . The Council: A peek at the roster of Wall St. Investors, Henry, would reveal a large number of mothers, and fath ers too, who buy into "a stranger's business" -said stranger being Mr. Ford, Mr. Hcrshey, Mr. Douglas, etc. Some of them certainly have children who'd rather see that money go for stock in them! But somehow these parents have more faith in- the com mercial acumen of Mr. Ford, etc. They're not acting unnat urally, for what can be more natural than self-preservation? No, Henry, we're back to the cliche about family and business-they don't mix eas ily. An investment made on a purely business basis for in come to live by, ought not be jettisoned for reasons of senti ment. Why should your moth er give up a sure thing? Here she's in the enviable position of being able to look out for herself. She has the breezy feeling of independence, at least on the financial front. She'd lose this the minute she transferred her funds to you. There's no way to keep the transaction "business-like." A mother is loalh to sue-her sons in court for non-payment! Our advice here is for Hen ry and his brother to arrange their financing through regu lar business channels, and to stop eyeing their mother's smooth set-up. But we hasten to insert a memo for Mrs. T. While you're sittin' pretty in Ihe dol-lars-'n-cents sense, you're not at all independent in the emo tional sense. You say you love your sons. You also need them, and this becomes in creasingly true as the years roll on. So you'll be wise to find another ' way, short of selling out your Grade A in vestment, to further their vo cational progress. How about engaging a topnotch business consultant for them-to cither talk them out of buying a res taurant, or show them the best way to proceed? As for cash aid, this mother can borrow a sum for them, or donate it outright in the spirit one contributes to one's pet charily.
