Elmer Walzer Lincoln's birthday will be celebrated at our school by a program prepared by the fifth grade students. CP Elementary, Junior High School George Johns, principal, an nounced that Valentine parties will be held Friday afternoon in the Central Point Elemen tary school. Each room will put on its own party with the room mothers assisting. Valentines will be exchanged. By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -(UPD- The stock market so far this year has proved the efficacy of the old TO Wall Street adage which holds that when any group is unan imous in any thing it gener ally is wrong. There was almost com plete unani mity among business men, economists, and government experts, that busi ness would boom in 1960. There was unanimity in Wall Street that the stock market would rise to a new high -possibly 700 to 750 in the Dow-Jones industrial average. in the first half and dip in the second. Lately there has been grow ing unanimity that business is not holding up as had been expected auto sales disap pointing, steel inventories high and possibly will not be built much higher, and so on. Edmund Tabell, analyst for Walston & Co., thinks there's a pretty good chance that all three of these forecasts could be somewhat off base. Tabell, one of Wall Street's astute chart experts, admits he was in the crowd that looked for a high industrial average in the first half. But he changed his mind when unanimity developed along this line. He became cautious in December. Double-Cross By Market And now, says Tabell, the way it looks the market could very possibly double-cross the experts and make its low in the first half and its high in the second half. According to Tabell, the ad vance that started in October of 1957 is the fifth and final phase of the long-term ad vance from the terrific un dervaluation that existed at the 1949 lows." When the move is complet ed, he says, it will be followed by a long consolidation peri od before a broad overall ad vance resumes. He believes that consolida tion period could be like the one in 1946-1949 when the av erages held in a narrow 15 per cent trading area for three years. Low Around 550 Level When the low is reached, Tabell believes it will prob ably be around the 550 level, and the upper limit of the range could be around 700. The seventh and eighth grades at the Central Point Junior High school have been making preparations for a party today at the gymnasi um. They have been making decorations, planning games, Refreshments etc. On Feb. 12, there will be a basketball game between the Central Point Junior High school and South Grants Pass. The games will be played at t Central Point gymnasium. The seventh grade will play at 2:30 p.m. and the eighth grade will play at 3:30 p.m. Richard Traylor, vice prin cipal of Central Point Elemen tary and Junior High school, has announced that the newly organized physical education system recently established at the school is providing results school officials anticipated. ' Johns reported that he is pleased with the business like participation of. the stu dents of Central Point-Ele mentary and Junior High school in fire drill practice. Each fall after the students become self-assured and effi cient in vacating the building, fire drills are held once or twice a month. Last term, af ter the inspection of the old brick elementary school by "V. P. Roble, deputy state fire marshal from Grants Pass, he gave instructions concerning making the building more fire resistant. His instructions were car ried out by the addition of new metal plated fire doors on the stairs, gypsum board ceiling on the basement and stair-well lining, sealing off waste paper chutes and add ing a new metal fire stairs on the north side of the build ing. An additional safety precau- Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Pily the Poor Mouse- Purpose io Feed Predators The so-called very "poor little church mouse" isn't a mouse species, but a mouse who used poor judgment in its choice of habitation. He is supposed to be hun gry all the time, for he lives in a land of meager supply. It's hard to understand why he remains; seems as though he should be able to locate a heated house, with a bounti ful kitchen, somewhere with in scampering distance. Mice are cute, they could n ARE WE STARVING OUR CLERGYMEN? FEBRUARY 14th Family -WggJcIjt Medford Mail Tribuns Pay Said High for Church Faculty Boston -flTP- Church school faculty members are the "highest" paid teachers in the nation says a church leader. "They are paid in a coin that they can spend and yet keep," says the Rev. Dr. Franklin I. Sheeder, execu tive secretary of the Board of Christian Education the Pub lication of the Evangelical and Reformed Church. '"In fact the love and con cern they pour out on their pupils is itself the form of their wages. These wages have for centuries been in an inflationary spiral upward and the outlook is for a con tinuation of this rising trend." Earthquake Shakes San Diego Vicinity San Diego (UPD A minor earthquake jolted the eastern part of San Diego county Tuesday but apparently caus ed no damage. The temblor rattled win dows and dishes, causing nu merous residents to report the disturbance to police. Seismo logist Fred Robinson said the quake registered 2 on a scale of 12. tion which the bond election made possible is a centrally located fire alarm which may be turned in from various areas of the school.

They have erect little ears, black beady eyes, a soft fur coat, and a delicate pink little nose. The one "cross they have to bear" is the long naked and useless tail. . Even the eating habits of this little mammal are dainty, although most home owners would vehemently deny this statement. Their slender shoulders have to bear a load that is often undeserved; they often take the blame for ac tions their cousin the rat com mits. This character is always obnoxious. Biggest Mistake Where the mouse makes his biggest mistake is when he comes indoors, but he does because he dreads cold weath er. He naturally desires places of warmth, shelter and food. There are many varieties of mice, most of them so-called "country-mice" who never come . near a human habita tion. The "house-mouse is the character that causes the trouble, giving the entire tribe a bad name. Of course too, the farmer hates the field mouse because of the grain the little guy eats. Of course you won't do it, but you might like to know you could train even a house- mouse to eat out of your hand in just a couple of days. A little confidence and patience and you wouldn't need a mouse-trap if by the time you had him trained you still wanted to kill him. There is one big stumbling block. It's hardly possible to have just one or two mice, for another comes along and, like magic, the place may be over run with them. The Little People The mice, like so many of us. are the little people-insignificant and unobtrusive-just trying to squeeze a few drops of joy and pleasure from the pitifully dry sponge of a me diocre existence. It must be pretty tough to know your sole purpose in life is only to supply food for a host of predators, but that's just about how it all figures out. if you are a mouse. . . (Released by The Register "It is entirely possible," says Tabell, "that three years from today the averages will be right where they are today, but possibly with stock A 20 points higher and stock B 20 points lower.. Admitting this situation hardly fits the concept of a classic bear market, Tabell points out that swings in the stock market have been nar rowing in recent years. They have run around 19 per cent in the past 10 years. And se lectivity has increased. ' He notes that you might have bought a good growth stock like Du Pont at 250 in July, 1955, and almost five years later found it was sell ing at 235 despite the fact that the industrial average has moved from 460 to 625. Decline Recalled On the other side of the pic ture, he calls attention to the 20 per cent decline in the av erages in 1957 when holdings of utilities, drugs, food chains, and tobaccos showed a good profit. As Tabell envisions the mar ket for the next several years, stock selection will be much more important than ability to catch the moves ' in the av erages. From Oct. 22, 1957 when the industrial average was at 419.79 to the record high set this Jan. 5 at 685.47, there has been a rise of 265.68 points or 63 per cent. Since Jan. 5 to the low on Monday there has been a decline of 76.97 points. That is a loss of 11.2 per cent in a little more than a month. 29 Per Cent of Gain That decline is 29 per cent of the Oct. 22, 1957-Jan. 5, 1960 gain. In the period from July 12, 1957 to Oct. 22, 1957, the market fell almost exactly 100 points in the Dow-Jones industrials, a drop of 19.4 per cent. If that decline were to be duplicated on a percentage ba sis from the 1960 high, it would amount to 132.99 points and bring the average down to 552.48. That level hasn't been touched since Nov. 26, 1958. Chicago Murder Rate Increases To One Per Day Chicago - (UPI) - Chicago's 1960 murder rate rose to one a day today, and police said none of the slayings had been solved. Among the 40 victims were two women, two elderly men, a long-time foe of union cor ruption and a dentist. Figure Disputed The police homicide detail disputed the "unsolved" fig ure, saying that only 10 were mysteries, and that there were persons . under arrest or in flight in 30 of the cases. But there have been no indict ments in any of the cases and no convictions, and norie of the alleged slayers has been brought to trial. The frightening rise in vi olent death, coinciding with disclosures of widespread po lice corruption, led one news paper to ask: "Is Chicago a city governed by law and order ... Or is Chicago a jungle?" Reward Offered The newspaper posted a S25.000 reward for informa tion leading to the killers of Herman Posner, 73, who bat tled for years to clean up the allegedly gangster-controlled Moving Picture Operators Union. ' - The paper said it ' offered the reward because '"of the ap parent breakdown of the law in Chicago and because of the atrocious nature of the crime." Posner was slashed to death early Tuesday as he walked from his car to his house after j lifelSi -1 for wSi' 1 Valentine Gifts Keyed for giving her . . . . . r Look!
