Portland Bus Fare
Increase Rescinded
Portland W y (W The
city council has reversed it
self and voted down a hike
In transit fares from 20 to 25
cents a ride.
The council had approved
the increase last week and it
was scheduled to go into
effect Sunday.
Howard Morgan, state pub
lic utility commissioner, then
challenged the action and the
council rescinded the ordin
ance Wednesday after Com
missioner Ormond R. Bean
said he would not vote for any
fare increase "until its
legality is more clearly ap
parent." The council's latest action
raised the possibility that the
Rose City Transit Company
could serve notice to the city
that it will cease operation
within 30 days.

Lloyd Dyer, the Ford sales
man, who soft-soaped us into
buying a Ford car, has done
it again, having learned that
J. S. Richardson's old Pack
ard had skinned its nose on
icy pavement, moved in, and
after a few days of praising
and pleading, succeeded in
selling him a brand new '58
Ford.
Ray Wyatt, the congenial
proprietor of the Table Rock
store, has given us a 1958
copy of The Old Farmers Al
manac, established in 1792
and wanted us to decipher it,
and tell him what kind of
weather to expect during the
month of February. As near
as we can figure out the code,
we are to have a variety of
weather, from mild to very
cold with snow, rain and
wind. However, St. Valen
tine's Day, Feb. 14, which Ray
probably is the most inter
ested in, will be cold and
fair. If Ray is not satisfied
with this, he will have to
wait until Ground Hog Day.
Don Seegmiller, who has

Field mice have become
more plentiful this winter
than for sometime, and are so
numerous that cats, barn owls,
skunks and coyotes, can't
seem to make a dent in the
local mouse population. Also
coyotes are becoming quite
plentiful, their get together
"howls" on the Upper Table
Rock being heard nearly every
night and some getting so
bold as to be seen in the fields
during daylight hours.
According to Mrs. Kerby
Tant, her husband, a federal
trapper, is kept on the jump
trying to answer the com
plaints coming to him from all
parts of the county about the
coyote nuisance.
Mrs. Abe Halfhill, a recent
visitor in Texas, states that a

same kind, all modern with
swimming pools.

Market Activity
May Be Determined
By Day and Month

New York (IP) Well,
what's the stock market going
to do today?
question mar
ket men al
ways used to
say: "It will
open at 10
a.m. and close
at 3 p. m."
They revised
that statement
some years
Elmer Walzer ago to read
"open at 10 a.m. and close at
3:30 p.m."
And, of course, J. P. Mor
gan, the elder, always used
to reply to the query: "It will
fluctuate."
Now. the answer is a ques
tion "What day is this? If
it's Monday the odds are three
to one the market will de
cline. If it's Wednesday, the
odds are three to one the mar
ket will rise.
Friday Minus Edge
If it's Thursday, the chances
are even for a rise or de
cline. Tuesday shows a slight
edge on plus signs and Fri
day a slight edge on minus.
And then, too, it depends on
the month. The market usual
ly rises in January with the
previous year's year-end rally
carrying over. It has a gain
usually in March. Also in
July and November with a
better than good chance of a
rise in August, and Decem
ber. The chances of a decline
are good for February and
September. April, October,
May, and June are about even
in gains and losses over the
years.
Over the years, there has
been an upward tendency if
one ignores the'peaks and val
leys. This rise Is supposed to
allow in part for inflation

and, of course, growth of the
nation's business.
The foregoing is based on
past history. The market has
performed according to a pat
tern by days and months. Bui
guessing what will do over
the years isn't easy.
Buy at Right Time
Of course, those who can
wait out their markets usual
ly win over the years, the
experts assert. The thing to
do is buy the right stocks at
the right time and then sit
back and wait keeping an
eagle eye on the management,
and the trend of the times
while waiting. New inventions
of tomorrow can nullify the
good things of today.
Right now, the experts call
the near-term market position
most conflicting. Even the
bulls warn that one must be
highly selective. They favor
choosing for purchase issues
where the bad news is out in
in the open and some bright
spots are ahead.
