Dear Friends;
We've had snow the last two
days. It is only about an inch deep
on the ground, but we really feel
like winter has arrived in Kansas.
It's very cold out doors and the
wind is blowing like it only blows
out here on the plains.
Hope Santa was good to you,
was he? Hayes received our pack
age the 10th of December and | was
pleased that he should get it in
time to enjoy it those five days be-
fore Christmas. He is we'll and
keeps busy and seems to be count
ing the days like we are here on
this end. You're never sure of their
return day when you're in the Air
Force, but we expect to be to-
gether the latter part of February.
The children will be taken out of
school for the big event and it will
be many holidays rolled into one
when "Ole Haz" departs from that
plane!
Christmas Day we had turkey
dinner with friends across the
street. They are civilian friends and
the family owns nice mems
store here in downtown Topeka.
Thought you might be interested
in hearing that cranberries were
not served. There were some south
ern people there and they supplied
corn bread stuffing to the dinner.
was asked to bring rolls and cof-
fee, which was easily fixed. ALI
the adults at the dinner were talk
ing about taking out their holiday
trees the following day because
they were so dry from being in the
house so long! Naturally l agreed
with them. They had had them in
the house too long. We had only
had ours up since about six o'clock
Christmas Eve and we were just
beginning to enjoy ours. When
Christmas Day is over here, Christ

One Of my gifts from Hayes this
year was. an oil painting that 1
admired at the Kent-Sussex Fair
last August when Anne and Bill
Minner and I spent day on the
fair grounds The painting was of

was painted by Ruth Raughley

dure two long separations from
each other. Never before have we
been apart at Christmas.
Before he left he told me that
this year, Christmas morning will
not be for those who are TIDY with
him, like a Christmas morning at
home. They will go to church,
have turkey dinner and that will
probably be the extent of their
BIG DAY. 1 have sent him a box
of gifts that l am sure his BOO

bors will irrepressibly tease him
about-but let them. l sent him
sequin bedeeked candle. Can't
you see this bring smokers from
those boys looking on? / sent him,
too, lamp chimney that a friend
of mine and / had turned into. a
Santa face and filled it with hard
candy. | sent his favorite choco-
late candy, cans of salted nuts and
fruit cake. l enclosed Polaroid
pictures of the children, and it
seemed to make it more like
Christmas for him if | enclosed
ties and socks even though / had,
month before. packed for him an
ample supply.
His big present this year was
kit that when it was assembled
would be another piece of ham
equipment for him. This is nice
for him to have to help pass long,
idle hours. But the crowning pres
ent is his auto-harp, You know
how a group of boys are-can't
you just hear the remarks when
Hayes strums that auto-harp.
Hayes has always loved music
and spends at least an hour a day
at the piano and / thought the
harp might fill a mitch that he
might feel lacking on this jaunt
of his.
Well, the next time / write to
you Santa will be back again at
his home at the top of this world
of ours. | hope he left your heart's
desire at your hearth when he Wis

Our warmest wishes to you all

Dear Friends:
Well, how near ready are you
this evening with only five days
remaining before the Ho, Ho, Ho
man makes his appearance? Today
| locked myself in a room with all
the boxes. toys and gifts and made
sure our three little females were
faring equally well. This is al
ways a worry to Hayes and he's
afraid one might be sighted a tiny
bit more than one of the others.
So our gifts are mailed to our low
ed ones at home, Hayes box of
Christmas goodies are with him
overseas and our daughters seem
we'll taken care of and / can safe
ly say to you I'm finally ready
for the big day.
Christmas is a wonderful time
of the year to go home for visit.
It's fun for young adults to re-
turn home from college to see
their former school chums and to
have fun at parties and dances.
It's a time for little ones to enjoy
their. new toys, to use new skates
on the frozen ponds, to slide down
snow covered hills on their shiny
new sleds. It's a time to enjoy
turkey dinner with the grandpar
ents and to show little cousins the
newest dolls, the newest rocket gun.
It's a time for lovely music in
church, time for the neighbor-
hood to look festive and gay with
Mama and Papa's ingenuity put to
work trimming the homestead in
lights, ribbon, holly and ever
greens.
But then it's a time of loneliness
for loved ones who will not be
with us again here on earth and
time for loneliness for loved ones
far away. Hayes and | have been
in the Air Force together for al
most nine years now and we have
been fortunate to have only to en-

Hayes when he was home in Octo-
Der that the painting could be mine.
Some how Hayes got the painting,
Warren Furniture Co. Grated it.,
Anne and Bill framed it, and a
friend of mine hid it from me un-
til Christmas eve. Lots of fingers
in the pie, but it was. well maneuv-
cred
Another gift that / haven't re-
ceived yet from Hayes but is on the
way, is more place settings of my
Spode china. He has been able to
purchase some place settings so
much cheaper than we can buy it
here in the states and am just de-
lighted to add to my Geisha pat
tern.
Tonight fourteen of us in the
neighborhood are invited for cock
tails and dinner next door. 1t will
be fun to get together with the
congenial group that we have here
on McAlister street Two couples
are moving in the near future and
there are several parties ahead
in their honor.
Tomorrow there is a tea in
honor of one of the females soon
to be. leaving us and / do wish
you could see the hat ] have bought
to wear to the affair 1t looks like
a big black hat they used to wear
when one rode in the horseless
carriages. 1t has a fairly short
brim all around it, but the crown is
very high and full of meshed puffs
of black faille. 1t looked very chic
to me and tomorrow will tell the
tale. A woman can tell when she
enters a room if she's well dressed
or not, by the glance of the sharp
eyed females already present.

81. Seashore property should be
held. The government can print
more bonds and corporations can
split and declare stock dividends
to make more stocks; but only God
can make seashore property.
38. l forecast that real estate
taxes will increase during 1860.
Wise are property owners who
make their rentals "Plus Annual
Taxes"
49, 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.
40. / forecast that revolutions in
mining will continue during 1860,
and you may find that you are
living on a valuable iron deposit,
if not a gold mine!
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
Al. For the first time in the 40
years that I have been preparing
these Annual Outlooks, I 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 break, whichever
party wins the election next Nov-
ember.
AZ. I forecast 1860 will be the
year to buy good bonds. United
States Government Bonds yielding
B percent are great bargain. Any
one buying them is bound to make
money. | also like all non-taxable
bonds and also some taxable but
convertible bonds.
43. l forecast some chemical
stocks will still be buy in 1860,
although they yield little income
and are only as growth stocks.
"A. There will be failures by the
thousands among those companies
now issuing electronics stocks.
ElectrOnics issues have become a.
popular fad. There is also unem-
ployment ahead for many who are
now working in electronics factt-
ories.
45. l forecast that the stocks of
electric power companies, but not
those of large cities, will be in
greater demand in 1860.
46. OF all stocks, I forecast that
United Fruit may be most in de-
mand in 1860.
AZ. | predict that only a few rail-
roads will be popular during 1860,
such as Canadian Pacific, Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific, and per-
haps Southern Pacific and Atchi-
son. | am bearish on Pennsylvania
Railroad, New York Central, New
Haven, and all short lines except
Tor the Norfolk and Western, NV
pet gravity road" l also fear a
short railroad strike.
4S. Failures will continue to in
crease during 1860.
49. | forecast that the huge nat
lonal roadbuilding program will
give an uplift to business as it pro-
crosses.
90. There will be no marked
changes in money rates during
1860. Initiation will gradually con-
tlnue, but may not be serious dur
ing 1860.
The best investment policy dur
ing 1860 will continue to be a we'll
diversified portfolio with one-third
In stocks for possible growth pro-
fits, one third in bonds for safety
and income, and one-third in cash
in order to have funds available for
investment in the severe and sud-
den drop in the stock market which
Will come some day.
CONCLUSION
The three handicaps to American
bushes in 1860 will be increasing
mstallment purchases, the unfair
demands of labor union leaders.
and President Eisenhower's phys
ical condition. The three hopes for
America are our churches, our
schools, and our praying parents.

MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION

MIAMI, Fla. P)-Bank clerks
take heart-eyen those mechanical
brains err sometimes. An eIectron-
ic monster in the Metropolitan Bud
get Directors department dropped
the last digit in $4,000 personal
property tax bills, dropping every
body's taxes to 80 per cent. But
the error was discovered before the
tax bills were mailed out and now
the taxpayer will not only have
to pay the full tax-heIl also have
to pay for all the wasted paper.

II. / predict that present de-
fense expenditures will be reduced
and the money spent on rocketry
submarines, breaking the earth's
crust, and education.
Is. There will be very little re-
duction in foreign aid during 1860
| 19. / forecast an attempt in 1850
to increase tariffs on goods i'm
ported from Germany, Italy, Japan
and other cheap labor countries.
| 20. / expect 1860 to be "do-
nothing" year for our Congress
Both parties will be working foI
continued prosperity.
COST OF LIVING
21. I forecast no substantial re-
/ ductionduction in living costs dur
ing 1860.
%. The newly imported cheap
w-priced automobiles are here to
stay Their importation cannot be
checked.
%. Electric power rates will be
lowered in 1860.
"a Clothing should cost less in
1860. In fact, most textiles. and
plastics will sell for less in 1860.
25. Soap and all forms of wash
ing powders will sell for less in
1860 This applies also to wonder
drugs" and other chemical pro-
ducts.
26. Cost of wooden homes-due
to labor-will advance in price dur
ing 1860. Cement and modern mach
inery will displace bricklaying.
Hence, there may not be much in
crease in the cost of building fire
proof apartment houses.
27. The cost of electronic mach
inery should be higher because of
the growing demand for automa-
tion to offset the rise in wages.
%. Steel products ESPECIALLY
stainless)-f rom the tableware
used in homes to the steel used to
build bridges-will be in greater
demand in 1860.
29. The demand for most food
products will increase during 1860.
This should especially help the
United Fruit Company, as bananas
give the most nourishment, at the
least cost of any known food.
30. I forecast increases in rents,
maintenance, and taxes. But sup
ermarkets will compete with one
another and the housewife should
benefit therefrom.
Florida is a. good place for mid
dle-aged people to buy home in
a small city as insurance for the
time when they retire Persons
buying such homes should depend
upon a check from the North every
month and not depend upon get
ting job in Florida Even today in
Florida one person in ten is over
65 years of age.
REAL ESTATE
81. The price of city real es-
tate will depend upon its parking
privileges. Wise municipal offic-
ials will pull down old two and
three story buildings to make park
ing lots and municipal garages
much more plentiful.
80. The above also applies to
suburban real estate. | forecast
that new suburban zoning laws will
require houses to have vacant ad-
joining lots sufficient for present
and future parking needs.
33. The d mand for modern
stores and for centrally located
apartments will continue to in
crease during 1860.
"a. | forecast that those building
Single" house for their own oc-
cupancy will also provide an apart
ment for rent.
35. | forecast that large CONNER
cial farms should be profitable in
1860; but many operators of
small farms not properly located
for suburban growth, will sell to
some adjoining formers.
Sc. Small farms on well-drained
land and near enough to a city for
ture suburban Developments
should be held. | forecast such
farms should some day sell for

IKEsS TWO MESSAGES

When President Eisenhower left Wash
ington on his journey halfway around the
world and back, he carried with him mess
age which in his judgment expressed the true
feelings of the American people, 1t was a
message calling upon all men of good will to
join with Americans in working toward
peace and prosperity in freedom
When the President returned to Wash
ington, he bore message distilled from the
response of multitudes on three continents.
Il talked with kings and presidents, prime
ministers and humble men and women in
cottages and mud huts," he told Americans
as he set the national community Christmas
tree alight. Their common denomination
was their faith that America will help lead
the way toward just peace"
This is not the only desire of the peoples
Mr.. Eisenhower visited. He also called at
tention to their yearning for economic and
social betterment. And he noted that there
exists abroad profound sense of friendship
for the United States and her citizens.
But the President appeared to be most
deeply impressed with the universal desire
for peace which he encountered on his trav-
els. 1t has long been truism that no one
in IL countries illuminate that truism and
make it shine more brightly than ever be-
fore.
1t now remains for Americans, indiyidu-
ally and as nation, to do all in their power
to bring about the true peace so earnestly de-
sired. 1t remains for us, who number our
selves proudly among the chief guardians of
freedom and human rights, to be tireless in
helping to assure those things-and the
stable economies in which they thrive best
for all the world

FLIMSY AS A SPIDER WEB

Some time ago the government filed al
antitrust suit against five pharmaceutical
concerns producing the Salk polio vaccine
The usual "price fixing" charge was made.
The suit has ended-and ended in com
plete and humiliating defeat for the govern
ment. The federal judge presiding dismiss
ed the suit, after hearing a wealth of evi
dence, without sending it to the jury. -AnC
his remarks amounted to biting indict
ment of the federal agency involved. There
was no real evidence, he said, to support the
contention that the antitrust laws had beer
violated. The charges were based on "sus-
picion and conjecture" In sum, it was 3
frivolous case, without merit, and it richly
deserved the fate it received.
The vaccine manufacturers have thus
been cleared and their innocence of any
wrong doing, or even of technical law viola
tions, has been established. Yet, much OF
the damage done cannot be repaired. AS the
head of one of the companies involved says
"W cannot help being deeply concerned that
reputable business firms can be subjected tC
this kind of baseless attack. The harm done
in terms of damage to public reputation by
the mere bringing of the suit is incalculable
The waste of company executives time ano
the expense of litigating such insupportable
charges are deplorable."

RAIDING THE ICE-BOX

The United States is enduring what
amounts to a second industrial revolution.
The era of automation plus just plain in
creased productive efficiency is forcing en-
ployment dislocation. Powerful unions are
resisting inevitable change. Make-work
rules have forced up costs. The whole coun-
try is penalized. AS Life magazine asks
Suppose you hired a man to fix your range
and he did nothing but sit around all day
nibbling out of your ice-box, then handed you
a bill for eight hours work Would you pay
him-or call the police?
"The fact is you do pay him, every day
and in an incredible number of ways. He
keeps you from getting as big raise as you
have earned, takes part of every rent or
mortgage check you pay, and slaps hidden
tax on almost everything you buy.
"The name of the robber is 'featherbed-
ding which simply means paying people
for work they do not do, or else paying them
for work that is unnecessary" Featherbed-
ding has been the cruX of the steel strike
Featherbedding to the tune of $500 million
year for work not performed is bringing
crisis to the railroad industry, which
threatens the welfare of the nation to say
nothing of thousands of railroad employees
whose jobs depend upon efficient railroads
able to meet the tough competition in today's
transportation industry.
Indicative of changes that must come,
Guy L. Brown, president of the Locomotive
Engineers, says: MANY of the working
rules on the railroads are obsolete and in
need of revision. We should be willing to give
serious consideration to proposed changes"
