Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK (UPD - The Alex ander Hamilton Institute says in view of the favorable business outlook, including prospects of good corporate earnings and num erous small dividend increases, there seems no reason to sell in vestment grade stocks. The institute recommends using this opportunity to revise portfol ios and weed out issues not re porting satisfactory earnings or where the industrial outlook is poor. Leslie M. Pollack of Reynolds & Co. continues to remain bullish in view of the strength of the economy and the possibility of a tax cut. Pollack looks for a con tinuation of the recent sharp rise and advises accumulation of fav ored issues in periods of weak ncss. G. S. Colby of Colby & Co. doesn't quite see a correction of secondary importance at this lime, altiiough such a correction would not be out of character be hind the Initiation of a continuing bull market. Arthur Wiescnberger Co. says the long-term trend still appears upward, but warns that the high er prices move the greater will be the temproary reactions, par ticularly among the high-flying market favorites.

In The- Day's km (Continued From Page 1) fleeted that what you had worked all day to produce would occupy your customers only two and a half MINUTES? You'd feel a bit LET DOWN, wouldn't you? Bill Carmack isn't alone. The Chronicle told the other day about a California whiz kid who read Gene with the Wind in less than two hours and gob bles up average length novels while he's waiting for his bus. ??????? Well, he's MISSING a lot- including the savoring of good writing. Imagine reading Dickens' Oliv er Twist, or Sir Walter Scott s, lvanhoe, or Mark Twain's Adven tures of Huckleberry Finn in a casual five minutes or so! And take the case of Bill Car- mack. Suppose he read fairly constantly, and finished every book in five minutes, or such a matter. The first tiling he knew, he would have read all the books in all the libraries and then he would be in the sad fix of Alex ander the Great when he con quered the known world and had nothing left to do but sit around and sigji for more worlds to con quer. This speed reading isn't every thing it's cracked up to be.

Hon Vice Prtiidenr Stump, Brosterlious Win City Contracts The city council Monday night awarded contracts to Bud Stump Excavating and Brostcrhous Con struction Company to build the Austin Street sewer project and the new firemen's training center. Stump's low bid of $9,361 was accepted for the sewer project, Brosterhous was low of three: bidders at $9,513 to build the new training center at a site be hind the city street department on Spring Street. The other bidders for the fire men's center were Pinniger and Watkins, and E. N. Alt, both of Klamath Falls. Following a 'brief public hear ing, the councilmcn gave their tentative approval to an ordi nance permitting a mortuary in a commercial C-2 zone on a condi-. tional basis. This stemmed from an application by O'Hair's Me morial Chapel for a permit to build a new chapel at its present site. The present building was built before the zoning laws went into effect. The final reading of the ordi nance will be at the next council meeting, along with the final read ings of the ordinances awarding the contracts to Stump and Bros terhous. The council approved an appli cation by the Oregon Technical In stitute for a permit for its home coming parade. A request by hlamath Cable TV for a renewal of its franchise for 10 years was tabled by the council pending further study of the cable clearances. The council also postponed ap proval of an agreement between the city and the South Suburban Sanitary District which had been worked out between City Manager Robert Kyle and the district. Councilmen ordered Kyle to seek further information on hook up fees and also to include a renegotiating clause in the agree ment. The firemen's center has been designed by Klamath Falls archi tect Robert Ford. It features a four-story tower which will be used, for training firemen in res cues, ladder technique and other skills. Attached to the tower will be a classroom and directly below the tower will be a smoke room' where the trainees will be taught the use of self-contained breath ing apparatus and other equipment Driver Cited After Crash Two autos were severely dam aged in a collison at East Main and Vine streets Monday after noon and the driver of one car was cited for failure to yield right-of-way.

Rest Home Fire Takes Seven Lives R1GGINS, Idaho (UPD Seven elderly persons died when fire destroyed a rest home at the tiny community of Pinchurst 14 miles south of here this morning. Thirty other patients were helped to safety. Deputy Sheriff Frank Heath said the names of the dead had not been definitely determined. He and owners of the Paradise Pines nursing home were check ing records to make identifica tion. Heath said the fire was discov ered about 3: 15 a.m. by a nurse who went into the furnace room to investigate because a wall felt warm. She found the whole room, even the ceiling afire, she said. Nurses on duty and the manager of the home, Gary Salter, who lives nearby, helped as many pa tients out of the blazing single story frame building as they could before the flames got too hot for anyone to enter. 'By the time I got there at 3:30 it was going good," Heath said. "Within 30 minutes it was all burned up." There is no fire department within 25 miles of the home. None of those who got out of the building was seriously hurt.
