4 Th« DaHy Bannar, Braaneastfa, Indiana Tutaday, August 9, 1966 Will Automation Take Away White Collar Jobs
By Boberte Roeaoh
Dear Roberta Roesch: Will automation eliminate as many white collar jobs as it will blue collar jobs? Mrs. T. S. Dear Mrs. T. S.; According to authorities on this subject, blue collar jobs are expected to decrease in much greater proportion than white collar jobs. To some extent automation will reduce job opportunities for record keepers and file clerks whose work can be done by machine. Categories In Demand But secretaries and stenographers, white collar workers who are trained to work as programmers, tape librarians, and business machine operators, and men and women who can deal with the public will continue to be in demand. The same holds true for professional and scientific personnel. Predictions indicate that opportunities will lessen for farmers and farm laborers. They are also likely to decrease for semi-skilled workers. In the socalled blue collar category, many of the jobs in the future will require more technical training
and «kni than in the past. Franchise Venture Dear Roberta Roesch: My husband and I would like to operate a franchise business as a part-time venture, but we want to be sure we involve ourselves with the right firm. What is the recommended way to check to see if the company we have in mind is a reputable one ?
A. D...
Dear A. D.: Tour bank should be able to check on the financial standing of any franchise company you are considering.. The bank may also be able to give your information on the people who head the company. Tour nearest branch of the Better Business Bureau will be another source of information. In addition to checking on the firm with the bank and the BBB, you should visit and talk to other franchise operators who work with the firm you are considering. Finally, have your lawyer go over any and all contracts before you sign up for your fran-
chise.

A Woman's View By Gay Pauley NEW TORK UPI — The great debate goes on: Why Johnny can’t read and whether he would be better able to if he were taught reading the basic abc’s way. To Watson Washburn, a New Tork attorney and president of the Reading Reform Foundation, the answer to Johnny’s problem is simple as abc—start the children learning the alphabet first and start them early— “some children can learn to read at three and four,’’ he said. Washburn, state representatives of the foundation, educators and others dealing with il literacy and school dropout problems met Thursday in New Tork for the fifth annual conference of the foundation. Main objective—to plan new battle courses against what Washbum called the “look and guess” method of reading. This method, in its simplest form, shows a child a picture and a word. He’s to recognize the word henceforth from picture association—a “cat” to go with a picture of same. To Washburn, the introduction 40 years ago of the “whole word shape” teaching method, instead of phonetics, is the “greatest blow to civilization since the dark ages.” In an interview before the conference, Washburn blamed it for what he called an all time high rate, in 1964, of draft rejections because of illiteracy; for a role in the massive school dropout numbers which worry parents, educators and the U.S. government alike; and for much of the nation's juvenile delinquency and older criminal ele-
ment.
“Reading ability in our country probably is at its worst right now,” Washburn contends, “although the tide in the last few years has begun to turn. I would estimate about 25 per cent of elementary schools have returned to phonics. Once their results are seen, there will be pressure on other schools. “A few more years and this horrible catastrophe will end,” said Washburn. “I’m encouraged. The job then will be to pick up and teach the illiterate adults.” Washburn charged that in 1964, 29.9 per cent of men eligible for draft were rejected because of poor reading ability —“It had been about 25 per cent for the preceding 25 years.” “Of course,” he said, “we have to consider these figures in light of men in college and draft exempt. But think of it. .. the mil-

lions who can't read newspapers.” As for dropouts, Washburn observed, “if you can’t read, you might as well quit school. But if you can’t read, you can’t get a job either, so often the turn is to crime. Young criminals, many of the older ones, are frequently illiterate.”
WALL STREET chafer NEW YORK UPI — Wright Investors’ Services says it is not unlikely that the final months of 1966 will see a conclusion as improbable as the present decline in the face of rising earnings: A sharp and vigorous recovery and a declining short interest as earnings gains slow
to a halt.
Kenneth B. Smilen and Kenneth Safian of Purcell, Graham, & Co. say the basic trend of stock prices appears to be down. The analysts say there may be some minor rallies and temporary resting periods from time to time but all signs point to continuation of the steady and orderly distribution of stocks of the past several months.
Bache & Co. says it would continue to advise an investment strategy centered on quality stocks at the low end of their historic multiple range, issues that consistently tend to outperform the overall market.

Hoosier Held la Fatal Shooting GLASGOW, Ky. UPI — An Indianapolis man faced charges today in the fatal shooting Sunday of a Kentuckian near Rock Hill in Barren County. Authorities said Sherman Rhodes, 19, Indianapolis, one of four persons wounded in a shooting, melee, would be charged today in connection with the death of Scott Britt, 53, Bowling Green, Ky. Police said the shooting spree apparently was the result of an argument over a crap game the men started after leaving a
church social.
Prison Paper Editor Escapes. INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Robin Smith, 24, assistant editor of
the Indiana Reformatory’s convict - published newspaper, sneaked away to freedom Sunday night after losing in a chess tournament. Smith and three other prisoners participated in the twoday tourney sponsored by the Indianapolis Chess Club Saturday and Sunday, in company of Ronald Parr, 24, an Anderson College teacher who serves as reformatory counsellor in summer months. Shortly after he was eliminated from the tourney, Smith was found to have disappeared while the other inmates and Parr were engrossed in other tourney games. Smith was serving a 10-25 year term for armed robbery. He was sentenced from Elkhart about 18 months ago and was considered "one of the intelligentsia of the institution” with a good conduct record since his arrival, Supt. Jerome Henry said.
TV In Review By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD UPI — Can four television stars with nine j series behind them find happiness and high ratings by pool-
ing their talents?
They’ll find out this fall when “It’s About Time” hits the air. The stars are Imogene Coca, Joe E. Ross, Frank Aletter and
Jack Mullaney.
It works this way. Aletter and Mullaney are astronauts who go so far into orbit they louse up their place in time and return to earth about one million B.C. When their space capsule lands they find themselves surrounded by cave people. Joe E. Ross starred in “Sergeant Bilko” and “Car 54,
Where Are You?”
Aletter co-starred in “The Cara Williams Show” and “Bringing Up Buddy,” while Mullaney co-starred in “Ensign O’Toole,” “The Ann Sothern
Hie east, dearly, !> experienced at situation comedy. But can they bring off thi« astronaut-cave man series? Imogene hopes so. *T would guess the critics will hate the show because it isn’t intellectual,” she said. “But I think the public will like it because it seems very funny to me.” Imogene and Ross are man and wife in the new series and live in a tract cave, a strictly prehistoric pair who try to help the astronauts. But it’s not a “live” version of the successful cartoon series, “The Flintstones.” These are primitive characters who run around in bear skins and carry clubs. Anthropologists will be stunned to learn that cave men spoke passable English, at least as the television scientists have envisioned Neanderthal man. They grunt and ugh now and then, but basically they speak as good English as, say, a Universtiy of Southern California
