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.

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.

Josh F. I drive a bakery

Night after night my wife

restless than ever and has taken
to slipping out evening's by her

masquerade is over, Josh finds
he's married to a fun-starved

He might as well quit the di-

studying archaeology. It went
like this:
Professor: At today's seminar

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?

Professor: No. students, none

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

Professor: Not for a min

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?

whether they could twirl under

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.

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

Police were looking for the car
