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.

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.

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

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.
