NORTH CAROLINA
TOPS BOND GOAL

WINSTON-SALEM, Aug. 3.-P)-
State war finance chairman G.. T.
Leinbach said tonight North Caro-
lima had won it's battle to reach
its $39,000,0 600 E bond goal in the
fifth war loan.
He said latest tabulations of last
minute sales in the campaign,
which closed last weekend push
ed the states E bond total to $780,
021 800 and that some additional
credits might be given North Caro-
lima before final tabu1ations are
made Aug. 5, but that today's to-
tails are not expected to be great
ly increased.
Leinbach noted that today's re-
port enabled North Carolina to
maintain it's record of meeting
every goal set for it in war loan
drives.
The overall quota of $148, 900, 900
for all classes of securities was
exceeded several weeks ago and
today's report boosted the grand
total to 1925, 200, 600, or 159 per cent
of the objective. The sales to in
dividuals, including E bond sales,
totaled $82,221 900, or lis per cent
of the assignment.
Leinbach said "too much credit
can not be given to the fine work
each county chairman and the
county committees have done' and
thanked press and radio, civic
clubs, women's organizations, and
bond-buyers for assistance in the
campaign. He said he had receiv-
ed message from Secretary OF
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau
expressing appreciation for North
Cardinals role.

The investor should be continual
ly on the watch for outstanding
attractive situations which will be
better than average market per-
formers. Certain preferreds with
large dividend arrears are well set
for gains. In every group, little
known companies as contrasted
with popular companies may
turn out the best. Companies with
no outstanding debt, whose capitali-
cation consists solely of a relative
ly small number of common shares
are particularly good. Investors
should pay less attention to Sc
curity ratings and more attention
to indenture :.erms in the case of
bonds and to issue provisions with
respect to the rights of common
and preferred stockholders.

DDS of investing but still cling to
broad diversification.
Market Trends Superseded
Conservative investors have long
b e accustomed to making a
choice of ''blue chip" securities and
then sitting tight. For the success
full management of their portfolio
they have depended upon correctly
fore-casting general market trends.
The trend of market averages still
plays a part in determining Sc
curity values. The most important
consideration in portfolio manage,
ment should be the minute and
continued study of relative values
among individual securities a n d
groups.
For example, as group, most
bonds and many preferred stocks
are too high today, but there is
no indication of immediate rising
money rates to indicate any change
in the near future. Common stocks
in relation to earnings are about
"average" in price and the return
from fixed income securit es is still
attractive. Thus, it is okay to keep
normally diversified between bonds
preferred and common stocks. Yet,
we all know that in Individual in
stances certain of these securities
will rise substantially and others
will decline regardless of market
trends.
Seek Special Situations
From tax standpoint, many in
vestors would be better off by
avoiding income securities in favor
of capital appreciation bonds d
stocks. A portion of every port
