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.

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.

covers of which were made from
the children's own finger paint
ings. Mrs. Herman Green, Mrs. Carl
McDaniel, Mrs. Jack Van Winkle
and Mrs. Marvin Smith were in
charge of serving refreshments.
Mrs. Jack Loyd represented the

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. S. department of agricul
ture and Congress on the much
discussed "soil bank."
Some 35 agricultural leaders at
a recent preliminary meeting at
the college requested OSC offi
cials to compile information on
proposed approaches to the "soil
bank" idea for reducing surplus
farm production and saving soil
for future needs.
F. E. Price, OSC dean of agricul
ture, has appointed a special com
mittee to organize and digest all
current proposals for study at the
January session. He said repre
sentatives of all organized farm
groups in Oregon will be notified
as soon as possible of the exact
meeting date.
