Page 6 The Babson Predictions (Continued From Page 1) if business slackens. 35. Nonferrous metals in 195fi should move with the Babson chart Index. High prices in early weeks may be followed by selec tive weakness. Zinc and lead may be the first to give a tip-off on the coming downtrend, but copper eventually is riding for the greatest fall. 36. Processed and frozen foods should advance only slightly in price as increased labor costs are offset by new machinery and competition intensifies. . Early firmness in textiles ' should be followed by some late-year weak ness. 37. There will probably be more leisure time during 1956. This should help the entertain ment group, including sports, travel, and possibly the petrol eum industry. 38. During 1956 I hope that school teachers will be paid more money. But, in order not to have increased municipal taxes, school committees must develop some method of either improving the efficiency of the schools, or re ducing the time necessary for completing studies. 39. More people will continue during 1956 to return to the help of religion. However, statistics on church membership .unfortunate ly cannot be entirely depended upon. STOCKS AND BONDS 40. Interest rates will start the year at high levels, but later I look for some easing to help the building industry. The pre sent Administration will not al low high money costs to bring about unemployment. 41 Seasoned dividend-paying stocks will do better In 1956 than the more speculative issues. Stocks will follow individual pros pects more closely, rather than the curve of business entirely. 42. There will be one or two bad breaks during 1956. Railroad stocks will move lower. Biggest declines are likely in auto and residential-building-m a t e r i a Is stocks. Utilities will hold up best 43. I am not making any ex tensive recommendations, put prefer to select smaller, well-seasoned, undervalued situations for security and good' long-range prospects. Those in which I have great confidence are the top-ten group' of variety chair-store stocks. 44. If the rallies continue to be less impressive than the de clines in the stock market, I feel that the money managers will re duce stock margins before long. 45. Bank, Insurance Company, and certain Investment Trust stocks should continue to be a refuge for the uncertain investor and for those who seek security and income without reference to prices or market-ability. 46. Aircraft stocks in 1956 may suffer from increased government renegotiation. This will be a serious threat if the Democrats win noxt autumn. 47. Soundly financed natural gas stocks should continue to en joy good growth during the year ahead. 48. We will hear much more about new industry and new in ventions during 1956. Many very important developments are on drawing boards and in test tubes. 49. Canadian stocks have reached their peaks for this cycle. This includes the uranium craze. On the other hand, the time is coming when the greatest stock market profits will be in connec tion with Canadian stocks. 50. Economiic education will continue more and more a factor. W H 7 Does 'Northwestern' Have A Larger Run of Good and Choice Quality Cattle Each Week? The answer is because farmers and rancher receive from $1 to $2 cwt. more for their stock at 'Northwestern' than in any other place or manner of selling. WHY DO THEY RECEIVE HIGHER PRICES (AT LESS COST) AT 'NORTHWESTERN'? The answer is because buyers in large numbers from a wide area recognize 'Northwestern' as a dependable source of clean sanitary, well-handled cattle.

Mgr Ph.665Sor31u Kindergarten Gives Christmas Program Twenty-one kindergarten child ren presented their Christmas program Friday morning at the Methodist church basement for parents and friends. Of special interest were murals depicting the Christmas scene which the children had made. Each child gave an explanation of the part he drew. Gary Dowen described an Alaska scene he had drawn and Chris Labhart showed a nativity scene he had molded of plasticine. The entire group participated in Christmas songs and at the conclusion of the program each youngster presented his mother with a book he had made as a special Christmas project the covers of which were made from the children's own finger paint ings.

Still another daughter had planned to be here but due to the high water could not make the trip. throughout 1956. The advertis ing which the New York Stock Exchange is now subsidizing will continue. This will be followed bv labor-union and educational programs. The growth of col leges and institutes of business administration will continue. I now see no depression ahead for 1956, but, of course, stock prices will not "grow out of t.he skies" and there must be a sad readjust ment some day. Investors are already beginning to switch from common to preferred stocks, and especially to non-taxable bonds.

Parents Urged To Read With And to Youngsters OREGON STATE COLLEGE One of the best New Year's reso lutions that parents can make any year is to encourage their children to read more and help them find suitable and enjoyabl books and stories, an Oregon State college authority on child en s literatur believes. And to push the project along, Ruth Carter recommends that parents take more time to "read to and with" their youngsters Miss Carter is a library assistant and instructor of courses children's literature at OSC. in The family story time is "re grettably" disappearing from many homes, Miss Carter main tains, with television, radio, re cords and "you take the books and look at them" as substitutes. Loss of story time deprives the child of finding for himself how enjoyable books can be, it denies him the "acquaintance" of worth while authors and characters, and lets him feel the "first R' isn't so important after all, Miss Carter says. It sometimes leads also to read ing dislikes and school study problems, she continues. An increasing amount of atten tion is being given children's books by libraries and publishers, Miss Carter reports. She recom mends parents check with their local librarians about books that would be good for children of various ages. Selection of reading gooks and stories should be made in cooper ation with the youngsters and in keeping with his likes and dis likes, she emphasizes. It can't always be based successfuly on "this is what I read and liked as a boy" or "this is an all-time fa vorite and you're bound to like it." The important thing is to get books the child can like and en joy and to "take time out to read to him and let him read to you," Miss Carter .says. With early "book training," he'll come to ap preciate good books and recog nize them as "worthwhile friends," she concluded.

Soil Bank Meet Set For Farm Leaders Oregon farm leaders are sche duled to meet at Oregon State college in late January to study and develop recommendations to the U.
