causes. You, however, should give
and let the beneficiary do the sell
ing. 1857 should be an especially
good year for such institutions to
make drives for funds.
46. Householders will avoid
making unnecessary purchases on
inStallments until the international
situation clears. Several feasible
plans are being considered, one of
which is to have a very small tax
on every gallon of oil moving
through the Canal with the under
standing that the money will be
used for financing the Great Dam
on the Nile River which the Egypt
ians so much need. This would
make unnecessary any expropria-
ton of the rich Middle East oil re-
serves or renegotiations will scare
our investors out of making fur
ther foreign investments.
At. The big thing that Russia
wants is not so much the oil fields
as freedom to pass through the
DardanelIes. This will be an inn
portant feature of a settlement of
the Suez Canal problem. / further
forecast that the Republic of PAN
anna will attempt to undo the
steal" which we perpetrated in
1904, in order to build the Pana-
ma Canal.
48. | would be unfair to read
ers of this Forecast not to men
ton the great Importance of Mr..
Eisenhower health. In connection
with any building, business, in
vestment, or other program, it
should be continually kept in mind.
49. Better fed and more intelli-
gent populations, both in the uni
ted States and elsewhere, will con-
tinue to increase. Important new
discoveries and inventions will
take place. Twenty years ago we
were enjoying the prosperity
brought on by the Electrical Era.
Then followed the Motor Car and
Oil Eras which we have recently
been enjoying, plus a Chemical
and Building Boom. These coming
together account for the great pros
perity of the last ten years. Some
time we will witness a business
readjustment, but it will be fol-
lowed by a new Electronic and Nu-
clear Era. Therefore, be optimistic.
so. In closing, | urge my friends
to read the 8th Chapter of the Bible
Book Deuteronomy, which was
written 5000 years ago and is as
applicable today as ever. Inciden-
tally, it mentions Egypt, which
even then was an important factor
in world events.

Deepest sympathy is extended
to our pastor, Rev. Guy H. Nc
Williams, whose mother passed
away Friday at her home in Cam
bridge, Md. Mrs. McNilliams spent
part of the time with her son and
daughter-in-law, Rev. and Mrs.
McWilliams here at the parson-
age.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jehu Lynch are
happy to have their son Jehu hCme
for the holidays from Mt Airy, Pa,

Mr.. and Mrs. Cove Bennett en-
tertained during the holidays their
son and daughter-in-law Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard Bennett and two sons,
Curtiss and Bobby, of Ridgewood,
n j., also their son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Gehle
of Dearborn, Michigan. The above
Mr. and Mrs. Bennett accompanied
their son Howard and family to
their home at Ridgewood, n. j.,
for a few days.
Mrs. Alva Lynch of Centerville,
Md, spent Christmas Day with her

price Most financial advisers fore
cast much lower prices for such Sc
curities. 1t is possible that the post
ponement of such building plans
may so diminish demand for such
money that these non-taxa.ble bonds
will sell at higher prices before the
year is out. This postponement may
also reduce tie price of steel and
other materials
II. The money managers for
each corporation, large and small,
will now arrange their financing
needs for two years by either secur-
ing the necessary funds now or re-
ducing their requests.
Is. Prices of corporation bonds
will not recover so quickly as the
non-taxables. forecast lower
prices for most corporation bonds.
19. Many of the smaller and
newer corporations will be much
by their inability to
secure funds during 1857, except
by selling convertible preferred
stocks on terms very favorable to
investors. 1t is well to issue such
securities when money rates are
low because the advantages con-
tinue for many years; but not when
money is tight, as such securities
then tie up the borrower for long
number of years at high rates.
90 This means that 1857 will
be a good year for investors to
switch from low-yielding stocks to
attractive bond issues.
Real Estate Outlook
21. Home building, corporate
and municipal improve
ments will decline in 1857. There
fore, it will not be good year for
speculating in real estate.
%. Interest rates on mortgages
will be higher in 1857. Loans not
"federally" guaranteed will require
larger margins.
%. Real estate in large cities
will continue inactive with declin-
ing prices due to lack of parking
facilities.
"a. Suburban real estate will
continue active, but fewer new
mouse Will De DullI. hOuSeS VIII pc
for sale by executives who have
lost their well-paid jobs.
25. Purchasers will give more
attention to the size of the lots
than to the houses. Better loca-
tions can be secured by buying
existing houses. Modern kitchens
will become must"
26. Acreage near proposed shop
ping centers will be excellent for
speculation. The automobile will
continue to raise havoc with real
estate prices, helping some loca-
tions and hurting others.
Milford chronicle., 1956-12-28

27. New inventions in. connec-
tion with heating, lighting, and
other features will make most old
er houses obsolete.
%. Large commercial farms will
continue prosperous. Small farms
on the fringes of cities will be more
valuable. The outlying medium
sized farms will be both expensive
to operate and hard to sell.
20. The nearness to schools,
churches, stores, and bus routes
will become more important fac
tor in the resale of homes.
80. Those wishing to own a
well-Iocated home to occupy will
find 1857 a good year to buy or
build; but a dangerous year for
speculation.
Stock Market Outlook
81. 1t is foolish for anyone to
now forecast the stock market for
1857. The Dow-Jones Industrial
Average, now around 490, may de-
cline to 400 or advance to 500 dur
ing 1857.
80. All investors will want
safety, but wise investors will
first decide whether they also want
income" or profit. Only by luck
can you obtain all three features
with certainty during 1857.
33. Investors can buy, during
1857, well seasoned preferred
stocks preferably cumulative
which will give, with safety, a
yield of near $50. l will gladly
send, free of charge, list of such
to any reader so requesting.
"a. During 1857 good utility
stocks should be attractive for
yield and marketability. The de-
mand for electricity will continue
to increase throughout 1857.
35. The above two recommenda-
tions apply to those in moderate in
come tax brackets. The investor in
medium or high brackets will buy
during 1857 non-taxable state,
municipal, or town bonds carrying
full faith and credit" Taxes will
gradually increase during 1857, and
non-taxable bonds will be more in
demand from wise investors.
SO. I am not now prepared to
advise readers who do not care for
income, but only for profit. AS
above stated, the Dow-Jones Indus
trial Average may approach, dur
ing 1857, either 400 or 900. 1t will
be very easy to make mistake by
either buying or selling stocks at
this time, except for intelligent
switches. 1 am willing to say, how
ever, that readers should not get
panicky and sell their oils. Even
Milford chronicle., 1956-12-28

Gulf Oil, which has the largest in
terests in the very rich Middle East
/ fields, should not be sold.
81. ALI sensible investors will
carry good bank balances and re-
serves during 1857 so as not to be
caught, whatever happens.
3S. There should be no panic in
the stock market during 1857.
Stocks will either fluctuate near
their present levels or else will
gradually slide downward or up
ward. 1t will be risky to borrow
money to buy stocks in 1857;
rather, one might sell stocks to get
out of debt.
49, The way to make money in
the stock market is: ID Confine
your purchases to the stocks of the
| leading companies in each indus
try. ~ Diversity moderately and
do not try to pick out winners, re-
membering that, whether you buy
or sell, someone (probably as smart
as you) is doing the opposite at
the same time. 60 Store up cash
when most people are bullish; use
this cash to buy stocks when most
people are bearish.
40. We are no longer on the
Gold Standard but on a Political
Standard. Although the Law of Ac-
ton and Reaction will ultimately
rule, yet periods of prosperity can
artificially be extended by manipu-
lating money rates, subsidies, and
other financial props.
Al Every reader should have a
little stock in one of the Local
banks in which he has his account.
Bank stocks should make money
during 1857, whatever the blue
chips" dc.
International And Other Affairs
AZ, During 1857 the Admins
tration will do everything possible
to keep us out of war. 1t certainly
will not get us involved with Eng
land, France, Israel, or their allies.
43. So long as President Eisen-
hover is in good physical condi-
tion (as Commander-in-ChieD, he
will back the United Nations with
our Army, Navy, and Air Force.
This is the only way in which he
will be tempted ever to enter
World War III.
A. The United States will not
use the A-Bomb or H-Bomb during
1857 or give these bombs to any
other nation. However, to save the
United Nations, President Eisen-
hover will give that organization
all the bombs it wants.
45. 1857 should be good year
to make tax-exempt gifts to col
leges, hospitals, and other worthy

(Continued from first page)
s. Most labor unions will hesi-
tate to make public fights for high
er wages, but will work for shorter
hours, pensions, and 'fringes."
8. Europe must pay so much
more for oil that it will have less
money for purchasing other goods.
10. Unexpected events will oc-
cur during 1857; however, as a
whole, business will remain fair,
but with smaller profits.
Money Outlook
IL. AS foreign countries must
pay in gold or dollars for oil, their
industries will be handicapped, un-
employment will increase, and pres
sure for aid from the United States
will be greater.
IL. The Federal Reserve Board
will not relax its restrictions so
long as we have full employment
in the United States; but if unem-
ployment increases we may expect
a relaxation. / am very glad Mr..
Robert Cutler will again be Mr..
Eisenhower's adviser.
13. Owing to the tremendous
numbers of employees, suppliers,
and retailers dependent upon the
large corporations, these will be
first to receive bank funds.
ID. Many plans for expansions
of plants, by both big business and
little business, will be postponed.
Most corporations will find it diff
ficult to get new short-term money
at any price in quantity; while
long-term financing will be too ex-
pensive.
Is. Tight money will cause
state, municipal, and town govern
ments to postpone plans for build
ing roads, SCHOOL,, and hospitals
except in cases where the Federal
Government pays most Of the costs.
This will put damper on many
lines of business.
1c. Owing to these increased
money rates, state, municipal, and
town bonds, although tax free,
have been declining rapidly in
