The best investment policy dur

one-third in stocks for possible
growth profits, one-third in bonds
for safety and income, and one
third in cash in order to have
funds available for investment in

Schools Look
To Lower Fire
Insurance Rates

A 25 to 30 per cent reduction
in fire insurance rates on school
buildings will be effective in the
next year, the Bluffton board OF
education was advised this week
by the Ohio School Boards as
sociation.
An estimated $4,000 will be
saved by the schools throughout
Ohio during the coming year as
a result of the rate reduction,
Donald G. Simmons, president of
the Ohio School Boards assoeia-
ton has reported.
The reductions were brought
about by low loss experience
among school buildings and other
fire resistve and brick public
buildings. A study of school fire
insurance procedures and prac-
tees sponsored by the associa-
ton was mainly responsible for
the reductions.
The board was advised that ex-
listing policies could be rewritten
on their anniversary dates at the
new rates.
Bluffton board member Paul
Stauffer has been active in the
Ohio School Board association
since its organization, holding Of
fees on several occasions.

such farms should some day sell
for triple their present price.
26. Seashore property should
be held. The government can
print more bonds and corpora
lions can split and declare stock
dividends to make more stocks;
but only God can make seashore
property.
u. AS the Russians gradually
move westward like a glacier,
taking ownership of all property,
wise people in Europe will sell
their present property and busi-
nesses and move to the United
States.
28. l forecast that revolutions
in mining will continue during
1860, and you may find that you
are living on a valuable iron de-
posit, if not on a gold mine!
Investment Outlook
29. For the first time in the 40
years that l have been preparing
these Annual Outlooks, / shall
not take a position on the Dow
Jones average for 1860. l am,
however, inclined to believe that
the stock market in general will
hold up at least until after the
election. Then there may come
a break, whichever party wins
the election next November.
80. l forecast 1860 will be the
year to buy good bonds. United
States government bonds yield
ing five. per cent are a great
bargain. Anyone buying them is
bound to make money. l also like
all non-taxable bonds and also
some taxable but convertible
bonds.
81. / forecast some chemical
stocks will still be a buy in 19-
so, although they yield little in
come and are good only as
growth stocks.
81. There will be failures by
the thousands among those COM
panies now issuing electronics
stocks. Electronics issues have
become a popular fad. There is
also unemployment ahead for
many who are now working in
electronics factories.
80. 1 predict that only a few
railroads will be popular during
1860, such as Canadian Pacific,
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific
and perhaps Southern Pacific and

continued prosperity.
Cost Of Living
Ia. 1 forecast no substantial re.
duction in living costs during
1860.
Is. The newly imported cheap,
low-priced automobiles are here
to stay. Their importation can.
not be checked.
16. Electric power rates will be
lowered in 1860.
II. Clothing should cost less in
1860. In fact, most textiles and
plastics will sell for less in 1860.
18. Soap and all forms of wash.
ing powder will sell for less in
1860. This applies also to won.
der drugs" and other chemical
products.
19. Cost of wooden homes -
due to labor will advance ir
price during 1860. Cement and
modern machinery will displace
bricklaying. Hence, there may
not be much increase in the cost
of building fireproof apartment
houses.
20. The cost of electronic ma.
chinery should be higher because
of the growing demand for au.
tomation to offset the rise in
wages.
Real Estate
II. The price of city real es-
tate will depend upon its parking
privileges. Wise municipal Off
cials will pull down old two and
three story buildings to make
parking lots and municipal ga
RACES much more plentiful.
o. The above also apples to
suburban real estate. / forecast
that new suburban zoning laws
will require houses to have va
cant adjoining lots sufficient for
present and future parking needs.
%. 1 forecast that those build
ing a single" house for their own
occupancy will also provide an
apartment for rent.
"a. I forecast that large COM
mercial farms should be profit
able in 1860; but many operators
of small farms, not properly 10
Gated for suburban growth, will
sell to some adjoining farmers.
25. Small farms on weI-drain-
ed land and near enough to a

A LOOK INTO The FUTURE
BabsOn's 90 Business, Financial Forecast

/. Naturally, as l am just back
from Moscow and Berlin. nv
first thoughts are what will han.
pen to Berlin in 1860. NV an.
swer is definitely, NOTHING
WILL HAPPEN" Mr.. K will
make no more ultimatums; Pres.
ident Eisenhower will continue
his peace talks. Therefore, the
Berlin situation will be lust the
same in 1860 and 1861 as it is
today.
z. There will be no World War
started between Rssia and the
United States in 1860. This does
not mean that such a war will
not come within 10 years; but
just now neither country is ready
for it. / am convinced of this af.
ter my recent visit to Moscow
8. Airplane warfare with the
dropping of bombs is a thing of
the past. We are turning to rock
etry with pinpoint precision. Our
expensive air bases may grad
ually be vacated.
a. Moscow is Mr.. KS "pride
and JOY" 1t is a beautiful civ
with broad streets and thousands
OF new apartment houses. Mr.. K
uoes not want it destroyed. Fur
thermore, he wants a reduction
IN ornaments so that he, will
have money to raise the stand
ard of living in Russia. I fore
cast ne will have to do this in
order to hold his power.
5. We first feared a "shootinp
war;" now we are in a cold
war;" but we will soon be in an
educational war" In 1860 the
United States will expend far
greater effort on education.
6. Along with the effort TO inn
prove education during 1860, I
forecast that our teachers will be
given a minimum salary of S.
OOO and that schools of all states
Will receive federal aid.
z. The Russians are afraid of
China. which I hope to visit again
in 1860. Hence, 1 forecast that
more friendly relations will de-
Velop between China and the
United States during 1860.
Political Outlook
8. / will now forecast who the
Republican candidates in 1860
will be - Nixon and Rockefeller.
9. The Democratic candidates
cannot now be forecast. Senator
Kennedy thinks he has the nom-
inaton "sewed up;" but John
son and Symington, and even
Stevenson, have large followings.
10. 1 forecast that relations
with Russia will become far more
important than the question of
initiation. -a- a.s.... .--
IL. I predict that present de-
fense expenditures will be re-
duced and the money spent on
rocketry, submarines, breaking
the earth's crust, and education.
II. forecast an attempt in
1860 to increase tariffs on goods
imported from Germany, Italy,
Japan and other cheap labor
countries.
13. 1 expect 1860 to be a do
