Our intramural basketball
contests are progressing. This
week will determine the class
championship and school
championship.
Ping pong is another inter

schedule will be made to help
decide who are the ping pong
champions at Jackson school.
We are happy to see our
halls painted a new shade of

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

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

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

easily be our most adorable
animal. 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
