POSTMAN RETIRES AFTER 34 YEARS Reginald B. Ashworth, 435 North Second
Street, who has been with the Klamath Falls Post Office since 1929, retired this week
after 34 years of service. Chet Langslet, postmaster, presented Ashworth with a cer
tificate of recognition for his devotion to d uty signed by Postmaster General J. Ed
ward Day. The certificate also represented an expression of esteem from his co-work-ers.
Ashworth, who hails from Gardiner, Ore., said he had no definite plans for his re
tirement years other than spending more time hunting and fishing. Here, Ashworth,
surrounded by fellow employes, cuts a cake during a farewell party given in his honor.

Chatter
NEW YORK (UPI United
Business Service notes several
factors which currently are in the
market's favor. These include:
The improved quality of corpor
ate earnings, the less cyclical na
ture of the economy and the
smaller supply of shares from
new financing.
The Boston-based firm feels that
as long as the outlook for busi
ness and corporate earnings con
tinues so favorable, the market
should perform fairly well. How
ever, the firm points out that
after an advance of the propor
tions experienced recently, it will
not be surprising to see a period
of pause and consolidation before
the uptrend continues.
G. S. Colby of Colby & Co. is
somewhat uncertain about the
very near term, but still leans
to the view that investors will be
able to buy some stocks a little
cheaper belorc they become dear
er. Colby feels that if this hap
pens, investors should seize the
opportunity to buy on weakness,
and if enough weakness develops,
institutional investors should be
come more active and the gen
eral public will return to the
market.
