Use of Franchise As Merchandising Device Increases NEW YORK (UPI) - Fran chising as a merchandizing de vice has undergone a rapid growth in recent years, and cov er!! a broad range of products In business today. It is a mature enough institu tion to have prepared, through at least one industry group, a code of ethics, and to have drawn the attention of financing groups because of its w i d e spread popularity. Like any form of business ac tivity, it has advantages and disadvantages both to the oper ation granting the franchise and to the person holding it. Brochure Issued The National Better Business bureau, with headquarters in New York, recently issued a brochure discussing aids to any one seeking information about franchise opportunities. The sug gestions it made, however, were fundamental enough that they could be applied to anyone mak ing investment in a business, in a security, or undertaking any business venture. Few persons indeed could find anything to quarrel with in the instruction to "investigate be fore you invest." The same rule is constantly reiterated by most reliable investment counselors in any field. "Don't sign papers or put up money," the brochure continues, until the entire offering has been discussed with an attorney, a banker and the family. It ad vises that everything involved in an agreement be put into writing, and that when the right opportunity comes along, t h e advantage should be siezed upon. But the same set of rules points out that there are ques tions which the person granting a franchise will want to ask about the person taking it over. Here again, the answers might well apply as a test to anyone planning to go into business for himself in any field. VOTE NO ON OCTOBER IS We Need Sales Taxi Pd. Pol. Adv., T. A.

Central The granter of a franchise, these rules point out, wants to find out if the prospective pur chaser possesses reliable char acter; has a good personality, ability to work, has health and experience in the field he has chosen. And whether he is willing to work; to be his own boss; to direct others as the operation may expand. Or whether there are family problems, in the case of the small independent fran chiser, for example, where fam ily support may be important. . Ability to pay is an important consideration, naturally. The person granting the fran chise also will want to know whether the person buying it has a reputation as a good citizen who will bring new strength to the firm.

If she doesn't settle down as a wife, I'll divorce her. ' Mona F. At 21, I'm not go ing to sit by the fire in a rock ing chair. Josh F. I drive a bakery truck, work hard, and look for ward to quiet evenings at home. Night after night my wife nagged me to take her out, to visit or go dancing or to a movie. At first I gave in once or twice a week. Then she quiet ed down until our baby was a few months old. Now she's more restless than ever and has taken to slipping out evening's by her self. She's an unfit mother. Mona F. That's his constant threat when I plead for a little social life to take my baby from me. But I'm not doing any thing wrong. He may want to curl up in an easy chair at 23, like an old grandfather, but I'm not ready to let life pass me by. My parents frowned on fun and I thought Josh would make it up to me, but he won't even let me teach him to dance. The Council: Whatever "best foot" Josh and Mona put for ward to nab each other was cer tainly a stage prop. Now that the masquerade is over, Josh finds he's married to a fun-starved kid and Mona, to a sulky blue nose. Josh's threats are no help. He might as well quit the di- vorce-and-custody talk. Any law yer will tell him how unlikely his chances are to pry their baby from Mona, especially since her "flings thus tar are non - alcoholic, non - licentious. merely desperate. Our tips: Re verse the present childish power play and battle of wills where the more Josh slumps, the more Mona jumps. What would hap pen if Josh smiled one evening and said, "How does the new Samba go?" Once he learns, he'll probably agree to "air" his skill among friends, or at dance hall. And what would hap pen if Mona soothingly ack nowledged his need for calm and quiet, sitting at his side a few evenings like a wife rather than a martyr? We think Josh will try harder to meet her social cravings, while she, sobered by gratitude, will find more mature joys in her role of homemakcr.

WASHINGTON (UPI)-I was watching a football game on television the other day and during the half-time show I dropped off to sleep. I dreamed that 1 nad Deen transported to the year 3963 A.D. and that I was in a class room where the students were studying archaeology. It went like this: Professor: At today's seminar we shall examine the civiliza tion that existed on the North American continent in the mid dle ot the 20th century. I have with me one of the artifacts of that period. Can anyone tell me wnal it is.' . First Student: It appears to be a metal rod about three feet long and of an inch in diam eter witn a large knoo on one end and a small knob on the other. Professor: Very good. Now can anyone guess what It was used for? SCIENTIST Dr. John W. Brant, bioengineer and life scientist, was appointed as visiting scien tist to staff of Oregon Regional Primate center.

OREGON Second Student: Was it used to chase bears out of chim neys? Third Student: Was it part of the 10-foot pole that people wouldn't touch something with? Fourth Student: Was it an elephant's toothpick? Professor: No. students, none of you is on the right track. First Student: We give up, professor. What did they use it lor : Professor: They twirled it. Students: Whaaaat? Profossor: This object was called a "baton." People held it between tneir lingers and twirled it. Second Student: Was that all they did with it? Professor: No. Sometimes they would throw it into the air and try to catch it before it hit the ground. Third Student: You must be pulling our legs. Professor: Not for a min ntc. Twirling was a part of the educational system. They even had tournaments to es tablish a twirling champion. First Student: How could any one possibly tell whether one person was twirling better than another person? prolessor: The acid test was whether they could twirl under their legs. .Students: Under their legs?! Professor: I know it sounds incredible, but so help me it's the truth. Second Student: How long did this particular civilization last? Unfortunately, or maybe for tunately, I woke up before the professor had time to answer. IS it 4Dcc niv 1 x v 1 School Edited by Elaine Davenport. Staff: Tom Kerr, Penny Sage, Mike Vaughan.

The American Field Service program was explained by Jim Rowan, AFS exchange student, last week when he told of his re cent trip to Germany. James Rowan, Jim's father, explained to the students the value of the program. . When Torch Honor held a dance Saturday night, October 5, the organization made $50 to ward its $100 scholarship fund. Approximately 300 students danced the w a t u s e e to the rhythm of the Chancellors. Eric W. Allen, Jr., managing editor of the Medford Mail Tri bune, was guest speaker last week in the team teaching American Problems classes. Al len talked about editorial influ ence of newspapers. This topic corresponded to part of the planned curriculum of the course. Last week it was announced that the well known folk-singing group, Peter, Paul, and Mary would appear at the pep assem bly Friday as part of their West Coast tour. This brought a wide variety of interest from the stu dents as well as from the faculty. Many folk-singing fans, both in the form of students from other schools, and parents, con tacted the school to see if they could attend. Some students also planned to have their record albums autographed by the group. Something had to be done about the somewhat comical misunderstanding, so an an nouncement was put into effect on Friday that the folk-singing trio, formally disclosed as Peter (Brian Porter), Paul (Fred Hau- pcrt), and Mary (David Collins), our enthusiastic rally squad, would not appear as originally planned "because they were shy of large groups" such as our student body. Peter, Paul, and Mary (at least their student counterparts) did appear at the assembly, complete with the necessary costumes for impersonating the group. The comedy-act more than made up for the sordid hoax to arouse interest in the pep assembly. A 7 a.m. first year typing class has been added to the class schedule of David Hile, Room 222. The early class gives stu dents who cannot fit typing into their schedule a chance to take the course. Eleven students have joined the class to date, but as Hilc has pointed out, there still is room for any in terested students who would like to join the class. ETAOINETAOIN ETAOIN Kathy Foley, senior, has been elected October girl of the month by Girl s League. The fact that Kathy is student body secretary and involved in many other activities qualified her for this honor which is given each month to an outstanding senior girl. A new club has been added to Medford High this year, the Usher club whose adviser is Ralph Hale. Us function is exactly what the name implies: Got the New Car Fever!

DARRELL MILLER'S E AUTO LEASE CORNER 10th and CENTRAL News the members usher at games, programs, and various other school activities. To join this club, no dues are charged and there are no regular meetings. At present there are 16 mem bers and membership is still open. The student council of Med ford High consists of the seven elected student body officers, class presidents, vice presidents and representatives, yearbook and newspaper editors, and the AFS students.

Order of M members turned grocery clerk Saturday, Oct. 5, as they gave away samples of various foods, and sold hot dogs at the Piggly Wiggly store on Stewart ave. The money-making project netted more than $100, The second round of clubs held their meetings Tuesday, Oct. 8, during third period.

Some of the other clubs that met at this time were History, Economics, and Civics Associa tion, French club, International Relations League, Russian club, German club, Shutterbug club, and Art Students League. State Costs Cited If Tax Defeated SALEM (UPI)-It will cost the state $1,000 for each em ployee fired as a result of cut backs if the tax measure is de feated at Tuesday's special election, Finance and Adminis tration Director freeman Hol- mer predicted today. Holmer said if the tax meas ure is rejected, the budget would have to be cut immedi ately. A 14 per cent cut would mean slicinB nearly 2,000 em ployees from the state payroll at a cost ot U minion. The biggest cost in layoffs would be in unemployment compensation. Discharged workers would be e e b e to eet $44 a week tor 20 weeks, a total ot shuu. In addition, there are other costs in getting rid of a state worker. Employees must be given two weeks notice and paid the va cation pay which each has ac crued. Also, there would be a loss of revenue to the state as a re sult of any layoffs, Holmer said. No stale income tax is paid on unemployment com pensation, so the tax the state had been getting from the em ployee is lost. CAR WAS READY PASSAIC, N.Y. (UPl)-"Is my car ready?" a man asked a mechanic at a garage Thursday as he pointed to a 1962 car. "All ready,"- was the quick reply. The man got in and drove away. The car's owner arrived later.
