! Businessmen look forward 10
1858 with q mixture Of gloom
and cheer. according to q re-
port issued by the Commerce
Department today.
It all depends what line
they're In. The steel industry.
for example. predicts business
will decline. Builders expect q
year Of record activity. The de-
Ipartment carvassed experts In
some 80 industries.
Forecasts Of ups and downs
balance out at moderate
optimism" the department
concluded. But analysis Of the
survey could lead as easily to
the label moderate pessimism. /"
Most economists agree the
Nation has entered q recession,
although they differ on It's
severity. Optimists anticipate q
recovery during the second half
Of 1858. and the estimates Of
several industries In the survey
substantiate this viewpoint.
Potent Influence

fiuence" on the economy's
course. Many businessmen and
economists expect increased de-
Tense spending by the Federal
Government TO promote q busi-
ness pickup.
Spending for new construc-
ton in 1858 will rise 5 per cent
over last year to q record $4o.6
billion. according to q con-
sensus Of experts consulted by
the department. Housing and
highways are expected to pro-
vide the main push.
II housing gains as expected,
dependent industries should
enjoy increased activity. too,
the department observed. Lum-
Der and cement. for example,
predict business will improve.
Similarly. manufacturers Of
furniture and household appli-
ances look for sales to stop
sliding. and perhaps to rise.
Well Below Capacity
The iron and steel industry
predicts a further moderate"
decline from 1887 levels Of pro-
duction and shipments. the de-
partment reported. Ingot pro-
duction may decline to about
100 million tons from last years
1l3 million tons. The industry
Is operating well below capacity
because OF sluggish demand.
Production cutbacks in the
auto industry account for much
Of steel's decline. Analysts ex-
pect car output TO decline to
between $3.50. 900 and 5000. 900,
from last years 6.l17.000. But
truck production may edge up
to about l million from last
years 100000.
Aircraft manufacturers pre-
dict sales will slip a bit below
1857. but will maintain "a rel
atively high sustained level
Of activity"

Along The Waterfront

A thing of beauty is the harbOf basinr and though still incomplete is filling up rapidly with fishing craft and pleasure boats.
 In the glistening sunlight they are pleasure to behold, but dur ing the big winds Monday, the practical aspects of small boat harbor were evident. ChOppy waves were dissipated along the rock strewn breakwater, leaving the harbor smooth but for small wavelets and insignificant ripples
 The telling answer to a need for the harbor was given when the Alf-Jim broke away from her moorings and went upon the rocks last Monday. A few minutes of teetering on the rocks tore away part of her keel and ripped the planking.
 
 A small segment of the United Fishermen's Union met in con vention here this week. Harry Lindgren, union president, pre- sided.
 An average of about 12 attended the sessions daily, with most Of the business of the sessions being completed by noon Friday Resc- lutions were drawn up, which will be acted upon by the executive committee
 There are some changes being made in officials of the union. Nick Frost, business agent for the past year, leaves his job to go to work for Bob Halls Kodiak Air ways. He is being replaced by Bumps" Poland, man right handy with the quill and ledger sheets and fisherman 10 boot.

light he gathered me into his tiny
hands and scampered out Of the
alley and to the edge of the small
town, where he lived in a broken
down little old house.

sisters when they saw mel That
evening they trimmed their tiny
