(UPI Radiotelephoto) Wall Streeters See Trend for Stock Market To Move Upward By HENRY J. BECHTOLD New York - IUPD - Despite the current hesitancy in the business and economic back ground the consensus on on Wall street is for the stock market to move out of Its sum doldrums and trend upward. The experts are divided Henry Btchtold as to when this breakthrough will occur, but they agree that it will happen as soon as domestic business activities perk up. The market currently is un dergoing one of Its best re coveries of the year, but a sharp pickup in volume has been lacking, giving the move ment the tag of another "tech nical adjustment" following the July dip. ; , The Fitch survey sees the list continuing In a stabilizing area the next several weeks, consolidating its position, and less apt to break out sharply one way or the other. However, the publication notes that while the market is marking time, special situa tions either in trade groups, illustrated in the more active demand for oils, coppers and steels, or individual issues fa vored by improved corporate earnings - reports on those which have attracted a spec ulative following, will con tinue to outperform the aver ages. Other Hopsful Signs Other Wall Streeters say the market will receive some stimulation from a more than seasonal gain in steel activity, a seasonal upturn in auto out put, a slight rise in residential volume and a small increase in building and construction activity generally. , The International Statisti cal bureau sees the list also getting a lift from increased government spending, while the Investors Advisory Insti tude looks for the Federal Reserve's switching from a policy of neutrality to one of more active credit-ease to fuel a rise in stock prices. Another favorable factor is that the business world has passed the period of least fa vorable earnings comparisons with a year ago, which was recorded ia the second quar ter. Fitch believes that the list's ability on three occasions to hold the line, as measured by Young Democrats to Hold Special Meet Medford Young Democrats will hold a special meeting Friday, Aug. 26, at 7 p.m. to elect a vice-president and hold a potluck dinner. The event will be at the Roy Picard home, 3400 Jacksonville highway. Edward McGinty, Demo cratic candidate for county surveyor, spoke to the group at a monthly meeting in the Labor temple Aug. 17, He stressed the importance of the forthcoming election. McGinty declared that the surveyor position has been dominated by one man for al most a third of a century." He pointed out work that should be done by such organiza tions as the YLKJ, and saia that he was "very pleased with the active roll that young people are now taking in poll tics." Plans were discussed for a membership drive.

Disturbing Symptoms Meanwhile, Fitch also points out that there are fac tors in the business and eco nomic outlook that still are disturbing and could act as a brake on the stock market's anticipated better progress in the fall, unless corrected. Among these, Fitch men tions lagging steel production, currently around 55 per cent of capacity, and its concom- mittant creeping unemploy ment in the industry. "While this may be over come shortly as business re vives, it has served to spread a pessimistic approach among lower income groups as far as consumer buying is con cerned," Fitch stated. This, it adds, is a second factor which may react un favorably over the balance of the year and in turn carry overtones into the stock mar ket. There presently appears to be a sharp cutback of antici pated consumer purchases of durable goods, with the ex ception of new cars. Consum er spending sagged a bit in July to a three month low. But the few weak spots in the business and economic pictures are expected to be more than offset by a strong er revival in many important fields of activity over the bal ance of the year. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins ll V W V I ii x x w v a c i fn i - , j ." v I Body Fluids of Insects are Green The blood of insects is not red, and they certainly are not blue-bloods." Their blood or body fluids are green or yel lowish green in color. If you think about it you will understand why the creature's body fluids are green instead of red. It's the same coloring material- that causes a living plant to be green. This coloring dye is taken into the insect's body as part of its food, for it is fed on green leaves and Nature placed a great amount of that green material in the leaves and stems of the plant; chloro phyll, we call it. Lavish Use of Green Nature is pretty lavish in her use of the color green. It is the predominant color of the outdoors, and all plants that grow in the sunlight have it. In the living, growing plant, chorophyll is associated with the production of carbo hydrates. Even with those plants receiving their full share of sunlight, the upper side of each leaf is greenest. The lower, or under surface, receives a little less light, and is therefore somewhat less green. f!hlnrnnhv11 in snite of its general use today for purposes other tnan coloring a leai green, is not completely imrtarctnnrf W( sav it is a glandular pigment, contained in living ieat cens, ano brought out by the sun. The leaves of a plant growing in the dark contain very little chlorophyll. Mushrooms and manv members of the fungi family contain practically none. The manufacture of this nrpATi rnlorinff material bv plants is a complicated pro cess involving tne mgestion or plant-food, and dependent on many different actions and forces, such as moisture, tem npraturfi amount of iizht. soil conditions and climate in gen eral. Carbon dioxide absorbed from the air through the pores of the leaves combines with starch and sugar, as well as water from the roots, to fur nish nourishment for the plant. Each leaf on a tree is waUv a linv fartorv in itself. working and contributing its tiny bit to the welfare of the entire plant, . Silent, Efficient This has been ' going ' on since the - first green plant pokedits timid head above the earth. It is a silent and ef ficient process. Men can never approach it in complexity or usefulness. So he said to him self, "If chlorophyll can do so much for a plant, why can t It be useful in other ways?" This so-c ailed mysterius substance, chlorophyll, has been introduced into chewing gum with the idea of taking the chewer's breath away" and benefitting him greatly, provided he has been eating or .drinking something that scents the breath. The green "stuff has been added ! to toothpaste to accomplish the same purpose. This too is sup posed to leave the breath as ; fresh as a dewy morning. Chlorophyll has been used as an ointment and as a food dye, as well as having many other uses. The insects use it to be very different. They color their body juices with it. It must be very valuable. It must have purposes we have so far not explored. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1960 Complaint Filed Against Company A complaint asking $50,000 damages was filed recently in circuit court against the Hau pert Tractor company, North Pacific highway, and G. T, Haupert by Luther Nichols, Yreka, The complaint states that Nichols was loading logs on Haupert's truck when an on coming log forced him off the load.
