CLOSE SHAVE TOO, MAYBE—A U.S. 1st Cavalry trooper enjoys the cooling waters of a stream while a buddy gives him a haircut, and he balances his rifle on his knees just in case of a close shave, too. It’s Operation Irving near Phu Cat, South Viet Nam. (Cablephoto) Sold On A Selling Post As Retirement Activity By ROBERTA ROESCH "Currently I am self-employ-ed," writes a reader from New Jersey, "but I expect to retire soon. Then I would like to become a distributor or dealer for a selling firm and possibly, manage a small sales group. "Can you give me some information on the opportunities that exist for this in my re-

tirement years?**

Possible Advancement It is quite possible that an ambitious man or woman can advance to a managerial spot in the direct selling field during the retirement years. However, in the beginning it is likely that you will have to put in a stint

as a salesperson.

As you prove your ability and ambiUon, though, you will find that most direct selling companies offer a wide variety of incentives to people who want to advance from selling to become a field manager or serve as a member of the supervisory management in the firm. To get started successfully in the field, you must first decide what product or products you would like to seU and. second, analyze the opportunities for selling that merchandise in your area. You should also analyze the possibilities of repeat sales while you are considering a

product.

Once you decide on a product that has good sales potential, as well as strong appeal for you, the next step is obtaining | the names of companies that j offer opportunities to sell it. Organized Members One source of information Is the National Association of Di-1 rect Selling Companies, 165 Center St., Winona, Minn. 55987. This organization includes most of the large companies in the direct selling business, and all the members are required to subscribe to a strict code of operation. While you are investigating companies that furnish the product of your choice, there are several points that you should consider. One is the starting expenses for entering the business. Generally speaking, these vary, and most of the time you will find that the main cost is for a sample case of merchandise. You will also find that most companies make it relatively easy for you to fi-. nance the expense of your sample case i f jour interest in representing the company is

sincere.

Occasionally you may find a firm that will ask j-ou to buy a substantial stock of merchan-

Selassie Meets With Churchmen BERLIN UPI — Ethopian Emperor Haile Selassie, meeting with Billy Graham and 1,200 world churchmen near the Berlin wall, called today for. allout Christian evangelistic effort and unity among churches. “This age above all ages is a period in history when it should be our prime duty to preach the gospel of grace," Selassie told the first World Congress on Evangelism. The goal of the Christian leaders is the creation of a rekindled, interracial evangelism to secure world peace. Selassie quickly dispelled any doubts about whether he would end his support and that if the Ethiopian Orthodox Church he heads, to aggressive pursuit of new Christian converts. “Let us arise and with the spiritual zeal and earnestness which characterized the apostles and early Christians, let us labor to lead our brothers and sisters to your Saviour Jesus Christ who only can give life in its fullest sense,” the African leader urged. The 11-day meeting began Tuesday night with a plea for harmony among evangelical Christians and renunciation of racial barriers. The meeting near the Communist wall was symbolic of the conference’s effort to tumble man-made “walls segregating races, walls dividing nations, walls embittering social classes."

The Lighter Side

How About Zipcode ST. LOUIS, Mo. UPI — The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said Wednesday it received copies of a speech by Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien in an envelope marked “postage due 5 cents."

By Dick West WASHINGTON UPI — All over America—or at least in a couple of cities—housewives are revolting against the high cost of food. Thus far, I notice, none of them has resorted to the ultimate protest, which is to quit eating so much. But some have proposed sacrifices almost as drastic as a hunger strike. They have suggested that supermarkets stop passing out trading stamps and slips for games such as bingo, poker and horse racing. The idea of people going to a grocery solely to buy groceries is revolutionary indeed. Such rash measures may not be necessary, however. President Johnson’s Committee on Consumer Interests has just made an important discovery that could enable housewives to have their cake and ! bingo, too. It has found that low price food costs less than high price ' food. Or, putting it another way, inexpensive items are more economical than expensive ones. This revelation came to light in a pamphlet published by the committee under the title “Shopping Sense." “You can cut your food bill 20 per cent by using lower-priced items in your menus,” the pamphlet says. The logic of that is nearly unassailable. Except, of course, if you happened to buy things at half price. Nor does the pamphlet’s assistance to shoppers end there. It goes on to offer a wide range of other tips that a housewive may find helpful in the event she is totally brainless. One tip I particularly ad-

Training Program

A second important factor to j consider in choosing a direct selling company is the type of training the firm offers begin-

ning sales personnel.

Understandably, most people who work for a direct selling firm during retirement or any j other time, find the personal type of training more helpful, i

vise housewives to exercises discretion in choosing the giant jumbo size. "Buy the large can or package only if it fits your family’s needs—and you have a proper place to store it,” the pamphlet

says.

The wisdom of that statement is obvious to any husband who has ever had to sleep with a gallon can of peaches under his

pillow.

Unfortunately, however, the committee saw fit to include a misguided policy declaration on supermarket togetherness. “Shop alone if j’ou can,” it tells housewives.” . . . Dad and the kids tend to run up the food

bill."

The committee is badly mistaken if it thinks it is going to keep rue ou l of the store. Not when x .a on the brink of a winning card at

Slight Reduction In Prices Seen WASHINGTON UPI — An Agriculture Department economist predicted today that average retail prices for food probably will edge downward slightly during the closing months of this year. But, even after the year as a whole are expected to average close to 5 per cent above those | of 1965—not 4 per cent as predicted by the department in

August.

Stephen J. Hiemstra, head of the food consumption section of the department’s Economic Research Service, was careful to steer clear of any specific figure for the price drop he foresees. He said in an interview, however, the decline from the August Uvels—which may prove to be the year’s highest could be “the range of about 1

per cent.”

Hiemstra said he looked for

some reductions in consumer prices because wholesale food prices, on the average, have

already begun to decline. The downturn in wholesale

prices, which began in Septem-

between the third and fourth quarters of the year. Hiemstra acknowledged that his forecast, basec* entirely on recent trends in wholesale | prices, made no allowance for the current wave of housewife boycotts aimed at forcing supermarkets to cut prices. But he said he did not expect the petticoat price rebellion to have any “significant” effect on national retail food prices averages. Supermarket profit margins are generally slender, he said, and stores cannot make deep price cuts except temporarily without losing money.

The report was the latest involving a recent rash of unidentified foreign submarines discovered lurking off Sweden’s well-fortified west coast.
