(UPI) Richard Holoubek isn't just whistling Dixie when he says his son has "come a long way for a country boy with a talent for art." Holoubek's son, Verne, started hawking self-decorated wares at county fairs to earn tuition for the University of Nebraska where he majored in journalism. Now. following some lean years, he's considered the master of so-called T-shirt journalism. "I'd have made more money doing anything else for the first four or five years." the 37-year-old Clarkson native told the Columbus Telegram.

"I graduated in 1967 and things didn't really get going until T-shirts became popular in 1972." he said. Holoubek's enterprises grossed more than $5 million last year selling T-shirts and iron-on transfers. He expects to hit the $20 million mark in sales by 1984. Holoubek said the American public's demand for self-expression and increased interest in sports triggered the Tshirt boom that spiraled with improvement in press-on technology that made the little knit top available to almost everyone. "The use of letters and transfers had a lot to do witn it," Holoubek said.

"Stores could have thousands of designs and a small supply of T-shirts." Holoubek. who lives in Ixonia. with his wife. Terrie, and their four children, jets between Holoubek Studios in Butler, and Iron-On Express Ltd. in London.

Holoubek said his transfers have been sold in Australia, Europe. Japan and even some Communist-bloc countries. The designs cover everything from "one-liners" to pictures of glamorous women. His company also sells designs and machinery to manufacturers and deals in direct sales, sending finished shirts by mail order to various fan clubs. Holoubek said he checks the inventory in his London warehouse using a computer-to-computer linkup via satellite.

In his" father's opinion. Holoubek is not a millionaire but "just has a good business going and is able to live comfortably." "It's not often that a little farm boy can get out and do the things he has." the elder Holoubek said. "Verne never asked my advice but I told him not to get too big. He did it, anyway.

Their "Love Boat" episode was filmed at 20th Century Fox. where both worked in the days before half the lot was sold for a high rise development.

He said last July 4 the Beach Boys played before 425,000 fans in Washington, D.C.. but for 1981 they are planning something even bigger five gigs in one day. They will play dates in Scandinavia and England, then hop the Concorde and play dates in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Hawaii.

1 REUNION OF STARS: What better place for a sentimental reunion than marketing director of Fremantle International has one with a hero he describes in Panorama magazine as "an outcast samurai, sort of a cross between 'The Fugitive' and Robin Hood." He roams the countryside pushing his baby son ahead of him in an Oriental pram, slashing at the bad guys who killed his wife. There's one problem. Violence on Japanese television makes "Kojak" look like "Winnie the Pooh." In one scene, a woman tells the Samurai sword slinger her honor has been besmirched. So he kills her. As Champtaloup said.

If I ever do." of handicapped placement has been loaned by Job Service to manage the new program at the state rehabilitation office. Crockett, the new employment facilitator for the handicapped, fills this role. Said Crockett. "My job will be to insure that all of the Job Service resources are brought to bear on the placement of handicapped individuals in meaningful employment. If this can be done through the regular employment channels, so much the better: but if special needs are present, such as with the severely handicapped, then I will act as an advocate for those individuals.

"In doing so, I will present the individual and his or? her job-related circumstances to the appropriate placement person here at Job Service who has expertise in the specific area of need." Crockett will also be responsible for providing information regarding the handicapped as well as specific clients to prospective employers. He will also coordinate the placement services of Job Service with other existing community resources which are functioning in the behalf of handicapped individuals. Stressed Crockett, "We are here to assist the handicapped with their job placement problems regardless of their their past training, and their past or present history with state assistance programs." A newly coordinated effort between the Utah Division of Rehabilitation and the state's Job Service program has been launced to help solve the most critical problem facing the handicapped employment which is meaningful, relevant, and recognizes the handicapped person's past experience and training. Titled the Employment Facilitation Service, the joint effort brings together the many training and evaluation services 'of Rehabilitation and the placement and follow-up capabilities of Job Service. According to Blaine Petersen, Director of the Rehabilitation Service Center which is now a part of the Utah State Office of Education, the newly combined forces will make the finding of jobs much easier for the handicapped.

"This program will bring together under one authority the entire training and job placement process." said Petersen. "Here at Rehabilitation, we have the capability to evaluate the handicapped's potential and then carry out a training program in connection with the state's educational institutions to bring the handicapped to meet it. "On the other hand. Job Service has an existing, comprehensive network of community employer contacts, a systematic employer referral process, and a computerized job bank." To deal with the fact that many handicapped people are fearful they are unable to compete successfully for available jobs, a specialist in the area Students can actually benefit from watching reruns CHICAGO (UPI) TV reruns are invading the classroom. A generation weaned on the tube won't accept the unsophisticated, low budget epics that used to dominate the scholastic film market, so producers are turning to television as one source of movies.

F. Robert Whitworth, president of Coronet Instructional Media, a subsidiary of Esquire Inc. and one of the big three of educational films, said television is a source for his firm's educational films. "As TV progammers improve the quality of their programs and begin to put on more quality series," he said, "it will become a more important source for my whole marketplace, which is schools from elementary through college as well as libraries." As an example, Whitworth cited "The American Short Story," a 17-part series funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and televised nationally by the Public Broadcasting Service PBS). Xerox helped finance the final eight stories and also printed a classroom guide for TV viewers.

The stories are by English teachers' favorites: Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, Henry James, William Faulkner, Stephen Crane. Mark wtwain, Willa Cather, Sherwood Anderson. Ernest Hemingway, Ring Lardner, F. Scott Fitzgerald. James Thurber, Richard Wright.

Katherine Anne Porter, Ernest Gaines, Flannery O'Connor and John Updike. The performers include many familiar faces: Ron Howard, James Whitmore, Fritz Weaver, Salome Jens, Shelley Duvall, LeVar Burton, Geraldine Fitzgerald and John Houseman. The quality reflects the $4.5 million price tag. "It's exactly the kind of product the educational market demands, yet cannot justify if it were up to us to produce," said Whitworth. "We can't produce for that market segment alone.

We'd never get our money back. "But from the public education and library point-of-view, it has an unlimited shelf life. It's not going to be less popular five to 10 years from now. It's not going out of date as fashions change.

We fight constantly over the division of the household chores.

I work from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. He runs a catering business, involving long, irregular hours, sometimes seven days a week. I think the housework should be shared on a regular basis. He insists that housework is not his job that since he works longer hours and more days he shouldn't have to do anything around the house. What do you think? BELIEVES IN SHARING DEAR BELIEVES: Your live-in friend should not be exempt from domestic chores because he works longer hours on an irregular basis.

When he's home he should pitch in and do what he can. In a partnership (and that's what living together is) the chores should be shared.

BONDED QUILT BATS 325 While they last! DEAR ABBY: I read with interest the letter from CHILDLESS COUPLE, who were considering artificial insemination. This may help. For four years my wife and I tried without success to have a child.

We were both tested. She was fine, but the doctor said that because my sperm count was so low, my chances for fathering a child were slim. That's when we considered artificial insemination. I saw a fertility specialist. He asked me what kind of shorts I wore.

I told him I had worn jockey shorts for years. He suggested that I switch to boxer shorts the loose-fitting kind, instead of the snugly fitting Jockey type. When he explained why, I thought he was crazy, but I took his suggestion, and four months later my wife conceived! Our baby is due in March. I'm signing my real name, but please don't use it.

Read on for a short story that may help some for whom pregnancy is inconceivable DEAR ABBY: There may be an easier solution to the low sperm-count problem than artificial insemination. First, the poor guy should try to increase his sperm count by having a more balanced diet.
