Overworked Executive

harried, ulcerous martini-drink-

such a picture and, despite pop

business executive doesn't look
like that.
The idea that your next pro-
motion can kill you" has been
fairly well disproved by q num-
Der Of new researches.

demands and crises that leave
him limp and bone-weary. The
fact is, he says, he never had

Mr.. Urls adds that the bust
neSsman is in much better con-
dition than he thinks. It may
be that in accepting the pic

NEW YORK, June IS. - II
what's going on these days in
the stock market confuses you,
some Of 1t could be because Of
the terms that are used.
In recent days you may have
seen such phrases as: "Techni-
lcal position, selective strength.
when issued. switching. penny
stock speculation. pivotal is
sues. imitation hedge"
All Of these are crystal clear
to those who follow the mar
ket-and more Americans do
every year. But for the person
who never bought a share of
stock. or who bought one once
and still has burnt fingers, the
everyday talk on Wall Street
can be rough to follow.
Technical position, for ex-
ample. Is a phrase favored to
explain why the market goes
up or down. when you can't
think Of any other way to ex-
plain it.
According to a glossary Of
terms put out by the New York
Stock Exchange, it means:
various internal factors af-
fecting the market: opposed to
external forces such as earn
ings, dividends. political con-
siderations and general eco
nomic conditions. Internal
factors include the size of the
short interest. whether the
market has had a sustained adj
vance or decline"
Short Interest Explained
And that brings us to short
interest and short covering,
currently said to be a major
help to the bulls, although it's
the bears who sell short. So
what are bears and bulls and
short sales?
Bulls think the market is
going up and are inclined to
buy. Bears think it's going
down and are likely to sell If
they have the stock, or to sell
short If they don't.
In these short sales they con-
tract to sell stocks they don't

own because they believe they
can buy them cheaper later on
for delivery. Short covering is
when these bears buy stock to
complete the transaction. This
can either be profit taking. If
the price has gone down since
the short sale. or loss cutting,
If it has gone up--as 1t often
does.
Selective strength is when
only a few stocks look good to
investors and they select them
to buy. They do that all the
time anyway. But when a lot Of
stocks look good that's q bull
market. And when only q hand
full do. that gives the market
selective strength.
Switching is when the other
fellows stock looks better than
yours so you sell and buy the
kind he has. This has the
added advantage Of creating
commissions for the brokers
who handle the deals.
Blue Chip Stocks
Pivotal issues are the bell
wethers in the stock market.
Usually they are blue chips.

racial segregation. Many observ-
ers believe that this is in effect

supremacy and victory for racial
fear.
But only time can tell whether
this will promote the interracial
harmony which most South Afri-
cans wish or whether it has, in
fact, withdrawn the white man
into lonely and defensive lager
akin to that which his pioneering
Boer ancestors mounted against
the black man in the early days of
South African history.
Mr.. Strijdom's supporters are al
most without exception Afrikaners
white descendants of Dutch, Ger
man, and French settlers who, in
the face of considerable adversely,
now have created their own distinct
identity in South Africa.
Mr.. Strijdom's victory is due to
the sincere and firm belief held by
many thousands of these deeply re-
ligious people that the present gov
eminent is best able to preserve the
Western standards which they have
helped nurture in Africa.
Together with many English
speaking white South Africans
they have watched with concern
the onward march of nonwhite
nationalism, Asian and Arab as
we'll as African. They have seen
the French ousted from Indo-china,
noted the recent churlish treatment
of Dutch residents in Indonesia,
and thoughtfully observed Britain's
steady withdrawal from Asia and
Africa in a process which today
is inevitable but nonetheless dis
turbing to tiny white population
anxious to maintain it's foothold

practice of daily family prayer
Our nation is sadly in need of a
return to the days when God was
part of each household, when
families arose in the morning with
a prayer on their lips and ended
the day by gathering to place
themselves in His care. A goddess
home is a breeding ground for
moral decay and crime"
