at 557.46, up
121.77 points or 28 per cent
from the close of 1957. The
rail average was at 155.68,
up 58.72 points or 61 per cent;
utilities 85.25, up 16.67 or 24
per cent; and 65 stocks 194.05,

dex of 500 stocks closed Fri
day at 52.48, up 12.49 from

around the average price of

means an average gain of
$12.49 for each listed share of

Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Washington-Chairman John L. McClellan (D.-Ark.) of the
Senate rackets investigating subcommittee, on the schedul
ing of new hearings this week into gangland infiltration of
the coin-operated machine business:
"We are endeavoring to discover lhe extent of racketeer
Infiltration into this multi-billion dollar industry.".
Kansas City, Kan.-CPB-Kansas university sophomore Low
ell Lee Andrews, 18, after slaying his mother, father and
sister:
"I was tired cf arguing with them about money, so I shot
them."
New York-British actor Kenneth More, on bust size be
coming the gauge for an actress' success:
. "The idea that girls can get to the top on bosoms is extra
ordinary. I like a little bit of wit and polish, but that kind of
actress has sort of died out due to the bosom cult."
All three of the major av
erages-industrials, rail and
utility have risen in 10 of
the past 11 months of 1958.
The industrials and rails had
declines in February and the
utilities had their one-month
loser in August.
The best gains in industrials
and rails was made in July
when the former rose 24.81
points and the latter 12.92
points. The best utility rise
was in January when traders
were buying defensive issues.
That one amounted to 3.69
points.
In November, industrials
rose 14.24 points, rails 7.12
points and utilities 2.03 points.
Back in November, 1928,
the industrials soared 41.22
points from 252.16 at the close
of October to 293.38 at the
close of November. Rails rose
from 141.66 to 151.78, the lat
ter up 10.12 points. The month
of December saw some realiz
ing back there, but on the last
day, the industrials had a little
spurt to close the year 1928
at exactly 300, a memorable
figure in the average - the
record high to the date.
All Night Celebration
' On New Year's Eve - Dec.
31, 1928 - a Monday - Wall
Streeters stayed downtown
late to celebrate as they never
celebrated before.
The scraps that developed
on the high-powered hooch of
the day brought some New
Year's resolutions in the finan
cial district that read like this:
"Never again will we have
year-end office parties."
The financial district's en
thusiasm was at a high pitch
at the end of November And
the cheering echoed uptown
and out into the whole nation
for everyone was getting into
the market. You just couldn't
lose, the bootblacks said as
they passed out tips on what
to buy. They were right be
cause the market did rise and
tips made good.
Today the market accepts
its rise in a business-like man
ner. This advance has been
much greater than any other,
although there have been big
ger percentage gains because
prices were lower to start
with than this year's.
Facts Now Favored
Today's stock buyers are a
different lot. They are more
interested in facts than in tips,
The investment clubs are busy
studying the various stocks
and trends. Individual invest
ors do follow some tips, but
less vigorously and with much
more margin for safety than
they did in the 1920s.
This market, say the ex
perts, though high, still is
sound. It might fall some more
as a corrective measure with
profit-taking the urge. But,
they add, there doesn't appear
to be any danger of a wild
smash such as the one that
wrecked the list in 1929.

New York -UPD- It is, of
course, unfair to compare the
TV production of "Wonderful
Town" with its Broadway
cousin, but I
will anyway.
I remember
the Broadway
piece as an
essay in un
hinged revel
ry, a musical
in which par
oxyms of tu
mult were
William Ewald tumbled atop
each other. It was all a little
like an amiable explosion.
The two hour "Wonderful
Town" on CBS-TV Sunday
night was amiable, too. But it
was more like an amiable
romp, a gambol through the
woods of a rather hygienic
bohemia. What it lacked was
ferment.
Style and Spirit
It is impossible t o do a bad
"Wonderful Town" with Ros
alind Russell in tow. Miss
Russell is a player with style
and spirit. She funnels out a
kind of elegantly clumsy
whoop-it-upness that . adds
flair to any production. She
reminds me a little of a high
mettled and very chic kang
aroo. Sunday night,. Miss Russell
was in pretty good form and
she juiced the proceedings
considerably. So did Jackie
McKeever, who played Miss
Russell's sister with a nice
sense of bounce. Along with
Sydney Chaplin, who owns a
pleasant if undistinguished
voice, they were the vehicle's
principal assets and spanked
alive such numbers as "Ohio"
"Conversation Piece" and "A
Quiet Girl." A dance number,
"Swing," with' Miss Russell
should also be included in the
asset grouping.
But where "Wonderful
Town" went wrong was in
some of its supporting parts
where the acting was not
housebroken for TV and in
its direction which tended to
ward the sluggish side. I
should add that the frequent
insertion of commercials did
not help any they impeded
the flow of the production
and prevented it from any
possibility of breaking loose.
All in all, a pleasant offer
ing, marred mainly by the un
evenness of its playing and
by its lack of rollicking, head
long lunacy.
SHORT SHOTS: Victor
Borge's one hour special for
CBS-TV Saturday night was
moderately ingratiating, not
quit;e up to the high level he
set in his previous spectacu
lars. Borge seems to have
skimped on writers and as a
result, the show leaned heav
ily on sight jokes and large
chunks of rather unadven
turous music. What the show
needed were some extended
routines of the nuttier Borge
sort.
"I agree with you," was the
most frequently uttered sen
timent during the Harry Truman-Clement
Attlee chat on
Ed Murrow's "Small World"
on CBS-TV Sunday, but even
though the show failed to
provide much meat to chew
on, it was an agreeable half
hour. THE CHANNEL SWIM:
CBS-TV's "Armstrong Circle
Theater" will scrap its dra
matice formula on Christmas
Eve and substitute a program
of readings, carols and com
edy. Victor Jory and Dick
Van Dyke will star.
Art Linkletter will take a
one week break from CBS
TV's "House Party" starting
Dec. 5 to vacation in Guate
mala his son, Jack, will
spell Linkletter.

He is called a varying hare
because he varies his coat,
changing it to a pure white
for winter and' to a well cam

of the year. The change is
made for safety of course, but
sometimes it crosses him up.
The reason is that it is made
more according to the season

PREDICT GOOD YEAR

later he will be all white. But,
as sometimes happens, snow
will not have fallen by then,
and in that case the long
eared fellow is an easy mark
not only for two-legged hunt
ers but a host of other pred
ators, too, including practical
ly every carnivore from a
weasel to a bear, as well as
many birds.
This unfortunate contre
temps seems to occur more
often in the hare's eastern
range that includes all of New
England and well down into
the South along the upper
levels of the Appalachian
mountain range.
Since Nature has provided
many creatures that need cam
ouflage with the ability to
get. it rapidly as needed, it
seems strange that it hasn't
done so with the varying hare.
Except for speed and the abil
ity to hide he has no effective
means of defense. He doesn't
even burrow in the ground for
concealment.
However, he does have an
astounding reproductive ca
pacity. The mating season be
gins in March and may last for
six months during which there
may be three or four litters
with as many as six in each.
The young mature rapidly,
some being able to fend for
themselves within three
weeks. Since one pair may
continue to reproduce for five
years and the offspring are
completely adult by the fol
lowing March, it is not at all
surprising that their numbers
may run as high as 1,000 to
an acre or even more.
Though their numbers are
heavily slashed by a plague
when the peak of the popula
tion cycle is reached, which
may be in ten years, perhaps
the hare's change of coat pri
or to snowfall is another lim
iting factor on his population
increase. Certainly the bal
ance of nature is such a deli
cately adjusted mechanism
that even so minor a point as
this could be of decisive im
portance. (Released by McClure News

In the same way that sterling on silver signifies
a standard of known value, so is the A.B.C. em
blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of
newspapers and periodicals. It means that circu
lation so identified is measured according to the
rules and standards of the Audit Bureau of
Circulations
The A.B.C. is a cooperative and non-profit
association of 3,450 publishers, advertisers and
advertising agencies. Organized in 1914, these
buyers and sellers of advertising brought order
out of advertising chaos by setting
up standards for paid circulation
and establishing rules and methods .
for measuring, auditing and report
ing circulations.
Therefore, the work of the A.B.C.,
of which this newspaper is proud to
pa

be a member, provides you with a direct and
valuable service. You can buy advertising as you
would make any other sound business investment
on the basis of well known standards, known
values.
At regular intervals one of the Bureau's large
staff of experienced circulation auditors makes a
thorough audit of our circulation records. The
results of this exacting audit show: How much "
circulation we have; where our circulation goes;
how it was obtained; and many other facts that
you need in order to know just what
you get for your advertising dollars.
