Babson’s 1964 predictions for its readers. This is the same forecast, in de tail, as furnished many of the large dailies each year through out the nation. It covers 50 different subjects and many of these are vital to individuals and business firms. Covering agriculture, his prediction is rather general, saying weather and foreign . . *buying will be the biggest fac tors. However, he does say sugar prices will continue on a high range, which is good news for the Nyssa area. The twelfth annual Stork Derby, sponsored by Malheur Memorial hospital, Nyssa physicians and local business firms, will start officially at 12:01 a.m. next Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1964. Rules are simple and unchanged from previous years. The baby must be born in the local hospital of natural birth, attending physician must certify exact time of birth and in event of a tie, gifts will be* divided equally. Entry is open to anyone, flocked trees are those lining both sides of Sev anywhere who wishes to use enth street, just south of Reece avenue along the the hospital facilities for this west side of Nyssa south park. The frost-laden Predictor Summarizing the report, Bab son sees: Continuing prosperity with rising prices and employ ment and little inflation; a con tinuation of bigger federal spend ing and a resulting larger deficit than in 1963; a tax cut that “may” increase general business; free dom from big strikes; more un employment due to a larger labor supply. He also sees the people as still “wanting something for nothing,” a compromised civil rights bill that will make neither the Ne groes nor people of the southern states happy, and sufficient trust by business and industry of President Lyndon B. Johnson to ROGER W. BABSON elect him president in the No . . . Nationally Recognized "Seer" vember election. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ "WINTER WONDERLAND" describes the spark ling scenes around the Nyssa area last Sunday.
