a Slaughter Beach hot dog roast.
We had three guests for dinner
and they had never been on a
beach party. Sitting by a bon fire.
roast hot dogs and marshmallows,
hearing the bay or ocean rush up
on the shore, watching the stars
and the moon all sounded pretty
cozy to them, but they had never
participated Hayes has friend
stationed at Forbes who has never
seen an ocean. Two different times
they have planned a trip east via
Air Force and have been deferred.
/ would love to witness someone
seeing those mighty waves for the
first time.
We went to church at $3.50 this
morning. All this month Hayes has
been ushering at the early service.
The children after this service
went into their new Sunday classes
Having successfully passed their
school grade they also matricu-
lated into higher Sunday school
grade. Next year Dawn will be in
the fourth grade and Lynne win
enter Junior High. 7th grade. Little
Leslie is still keeping company
with the diaper set in the nusery.
Our two oldest daughters are
eagerly looking forward to July
the 9Th. That is the date we will
drive them to Kansas City, Mo-, and
turn them over to an airline host
ess aboard a TWA airliner. They
will fly direct to Washington. ID. c.
and will be met there possibly by
my brother. The girls will be home
all of July and probably longer.
They're certainly looking forward
to seeing you.
Until next week.

stocks of Public Utilities offer the
best such opportunities Later on,
you can learn to buy for profit.
(S) Consider Companies Owning
Land And Natural Resources
The government can print un-
limited amounts of bonds and
money; corporations can print
more stock certificates and build
more plants; but only God can
make more land, oil, gas, and min
erals.
90 Importance OF Character
The value of stocks depends
very largely upon the manage
ments. This is something you must
talk over with your banker. The
manuals, card files, and other pub
lications of the Trust Officer do
not disclose the character of the
arrangements. Managements are
apt to be the best in companies
producing useful products rather
than in the liquor business, for in
stance, or even in companies de-
pendent upon fashion and other in
tangibles.
(1O) Importance OF Correct Timing
Stock prices have always moved
in cycles of several years duration.
Each cycle consists of four per-
iods:-Prosperity, Decline, Depres-
sion, and Improvement. Your ban
ker will tell you it is unwise to
buy for profit in a period of pros
perity, as at present, or even in a
decline. Wait for a depression
when your friends are all bearish
and the future looks dark. Such a
time will come again, to be fol-
lowed by improvement and a per-
iod of great prosperity.

Federal Reserve Bank of Phila.
Reports On Digest Of article
In May Business Reyiew
''W|hat's Ny Line?'

Over the cost of the past year
Gross National Product has risen
about 8 per cent. Yet employment
has grown by just per cent. This
lag in employment midst rising
prosperity is puzzling thoughtful
people. In search of a solution the
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadel-
phia has written an article on long
run changes in the lines of activ-
ity people pursue.
The article, Whats My Line, :"
notes that out of every 100 work
ers, 26 make things; IS tend store;
13 govern; IL till soil; II are SER
wants of some kind ranging from
professional to menial; 6 are NOV
ers and haulers and workers for
utilities; are builders; are
guards; 4 insurers, conveyancers
and money changers; / spent his
time digging the earth for miner
ais; and one worker was lost in
rounding decimals.
But, according to the Bank,
that's a still picture of activities
that are never STILL For example,
right after World War l about 80
out of a 100 workers were farmers.
Today about one-eighth of all en-
ployed workers are farmers. But
today's 71a million farmers pro-
duce ever so much more food and
fiber than twice as many farmers
did in 1919.
Milford chronicle., 1959-06-05

Offsetting this decline are sharp
increases in the number of people
selling things and performing SER
vices. Salespersons have grown
from less than million in 1919 to
more than IL. million. People en-
ployed in rendering services of
some kind increased from 2 mill
lion to million.
Government is also much big
ger employer Now 13 per cent of
all workers are employed by a
government of some sort. About
three-fourths of the government
workers are on the payrolls Of state
and local governments.
In concluding, the Bank said,
ANY contemplation of the future
is drawing bow at a venture. Per-
haps it should be attempted by
someone unacquainted with the
field-someane uninhibited by the
prevailing modes and moods of
economic thinking, like a barber
or a taxi driver. The population
experts have made some sour fore-
casts. If it is hard to forecast how
many people there will be gener-
alton hence, it's still harder to
foretell what they will be doing.
The only thing about which we feel
reasonably sure is that further
changes in occupational trends may
come to pass and we might well
be prepared for surprises"

Popular HaiUaiinn Singer
Sings Teen-ager Praise

Old-fashioned Hawaiian tradition
that the sea is the place to fish
for your food. Charles goes down
without aqualungs, so or more
feet to spear fish. and attributes
his powerful singing voice to breath
control learned in diving.
Most native Hawaiians go spear
fishing, and enjoy sports, one rea-
son why there is very little juve-
nile delinquency in Hawaii, he
says.
Charles attended the University
of Hawaii, and the Julliard School
of Music and was winner on the
Metropolitan Additions OF the Air
last year. He has made a national
concert tour with the Bel Canto
Trio. He is a disappointment to
his physician father who was hop.
ing Charles would follow in his
footsteps.
81 never could get music out of
my mind" he says, so there was
no point in studying medicine" He
is an accomplished pianist and or
ganist and sang and played the or
gan in his neighborhood church.
His favorite album is pray for
Peace" Another is his album of
romantic arias, very popular with
young and old.
Charles carries this romantic
theme out in real life. 81 may not
be able to cook" he says, "but I'll
be able to give my wife plenty OF
affection"

Young people are more interest

Charles, a 29-year-old mixture
of English, Welsh and Hawaiian,
is enjoying his new-found popu-
larity with the younger set.
"They usually write for my pic
ture, and those who have seen me
on TV send along compliments.
Many teen-agers know my records,
but not much about me. They ex-

dental statistics:

He's a bachelor. (But it's too late,

quarter of a billion dollars.
This analysis of expenditures was
given to a House Appropriations
subcommittee recently bv Assist
ant Secretary of State William H.
ROundtree. The testimony had
been given some months ago, but
was only released a few days ago.
The information is interesting in
view of the recent possibility that
another Berlin airlift might be un-
dertaken. The cost of such an air.
lift is great, of course, and while
an earlier airlift to supply Berlin
succeeded, another one, even at
great cost, might not succeed.
The release of this testimony be-
fore the House subcommittee, how
ever, does reveal how constantly
recurring crises, all engineered by
the communists, add to the drain
on the U. S. Treasury, as well as
to that of many of our allies. OF
course, a limited war, such as that
which was waged in Korea, is an
even greater drain. and that is
why u. S. policy in Europe at pres
ent is outspokenly connected with
the immediate use of atomic or nu-
clear bombs-should any one of the
NATO countries be invaded, or
should some limited war develop
as a result of communist agrees
sion against any one of them.
General Nathan f. TqDl71i7lO
General Nathan F. Twining, the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, has recently undergone an
operation of an exploratory ma
ture. 1t is understood that a large
area of his lung was removed, and
the issue of his health hangs in
doubt.
After the grim news of the death
of Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, the death of Donald Quar-
les, the second man in the Defense
Department, and following the
deaths of several other prominent
Americans some falling victim to
cancer-the news about General
Twining is significant.
If he must remain away from
his post longer than it is reported
probable, then the country would
have been deprived of its Secre-
tary of State and the chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff within a
period of a few weeks by the same
dreaded disease. This should en-
phasize to all Americans the ur-
gency which attaches itself to the
national campaign to find a cure
or a prevention for cancer.

The Western Democrats

The Western Democrats
The latest political word is that
the Western States Democratic
Conference is organizing, so that
it will act as unified bloc at the
National Convention in 1860, and
also, perhaps, in the electoral col
leges-where Presidents are actu-
ally elected.
This raises an interesting ques-
ton, concerning Southern dele
gates, and those. from other geo.
graphical areas, and is also tied in
with prospective nominees. For ex-
ample, it has been considered that
Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson,
of Texas, would get many Western
votes at the Democratic Conven-
tion-if he is a serious candidate,
and in contention.
Toward this end, apparently, Ma
iority Leader Johnson has Joined
the Western Conference of Sena-
tors, and he apparently considers
himself more of a Westerner than
a Southerner, and is certainly the
greatest compromising influence in
the U. S. Senate today.
Some observers, however, saw in
the recent announcement of the
formation of a Western organiza-
ton a move to organize delegates
and potential electoral votes in the
West behind a candidate from the
left wing of the Democratic party.
Those Democrats who believe that
Lyndon Johnson can exhibit lead
ership which will maintain unity
in the party, as he has done sue
cessfully in the Senate, believe that
if the Western states decide to go
all-Out in favor of an ultra-liberal
candidate, and if the great major
ity of Western delegates do so.
Lyndon Johnson's chances for the
nomination in Los Angeles in 1860
will be greatly reduced.
There is a good chance, as this
is written. that there will be siz-
able Southern bloc of delegates at
the Los Angeles Convention, and if
there is also a sizable bloc of Wes-
tern delegates, under unified COM
mand, the Convention might end
more quickly than some have ex-
pected. The Republican Conven-
ton, of course, is not expected to
be anything like the battle in the
senior major party, for it is gen.
orally conceded that Vice Presi-
dent Nixon is ahead of the field,
and he may or may not be chal-
Ienged seriously by Nelson Rookie
feller, currently Governor OF New
York.

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR SMALL INVESTORS

Babson Park, Mass, June A. A
small investor should first buy a
little stock in the best bank in his
community. Not only is this a safe
investment; but it gives him pres
tige and source of advice on fl
nancial matters. After buying the
stock, he should get personally ac-
quainted with the chief executive
officer, who may be the President,
Vice President, or Cashier.
Cd Life Insurance And A Home
Theoretically, if we are entering
into an age of initiation and you are
likely to live twenty years or so,
life insurance should not be a
good investment. You had better
put the money into small home
with an adjoining lot. However,
you may not live twenty years, or
even five years, in which case a
life insurance policy would be
your very best investment.
(2) Buy Well-Diversified
Common Stock
These should be listed on the
New York Stock Exchange and ap-
proved by your banker friend or
by seasoned investment counse-
lor. They should be common stocks
of companies without large bond
issues or cumulative preferred
issues.
(3) Watch Labor Relations
The greatest clouds on the in
vestment horizon today are creep
ing Socialism in Government and
unreasonable Labor Leaders. Per-
haps the safest rule is to buy the
stocks of companies which have
just been through long and difficult
