THE ABc OF MUTUALS
Four Kinds Of Funds
Offered to Investors

MANAGEMENT activities. These
two funds contract for man
agement advice.
LOw-Interest Fund
The second category of fund
is called a face-amount GER
tificate company. This type of
fund issues certificates worth
a certain amount at the end
Of a specified time, but the
interest paid out is surprisingly
small, usually around 21z OF
3 per cent.
What these companies often
do to stay successful is sell in
surance policies along with the
certificates, claiming the COM
bination produces a very low
cost insurance policy.
The combination insurance
sale makes the insurance policy
one Of declining term insur-
ance." 1t may work this way:
The fund buyer is insured
for the contract period. If he
pays 500 a month, then his
insurance coverage drops by
that amount every month be-
cause the money shifts into in
vestment. Over a ten-yeal
period, the buyer would be in
sured initally for $4,000. After
one month the policy would be
for $11, 900; after a year, $10,-
800. and so on.
Unlike face-amount funds
the unit investment trust Ii
burdened with a host of sepa-
rate fees-fees for annual re-
ports. fees for mailing proxies
fees for stock transfers anC
many others. The law says the
prospectus must carry a table
showing the percentage of FUND
paid out in these fees.
The two types of manage
ment investment companies are
called open end" and "closed
end"
Open-end companies are or.
dinary mutual funds, and
shares may be redeemed by
stockholders virtually on de-
mand.
Closed-end companies have
no redeemable securities. A
leading example of this kind oi
trust is the Atlas Corp, head.
ed by Floyd Odlum.
Save Time, Effort

most do not.
However, they have the ad-
vantage of providing security

Paul Lyddon, a young artist
who has both studied and
taught at Catholic University,
gave a recital there before
leaving for a teaching career
in the Midwest next fall. He
showed himself an excellent
musician and a very good
pianist whose only weakness
(if one considers him a virtu-
oso) is a lack of bravura.
The Bach French Suite in G
was very neatly done. The
courante was perhaps a trif1e
fast, and the rhythmic impulse
sometimes lacked the sense of
climax that Bach calls for, but
on the whole it was a good per-
formance. The Beethoven was
well thought-out and executed
very stylishly, and if there
seemed some cloudiness and
uneven tempos in the outer
movements there is no need for
surprise, for the Beethoven
sonato Opus 10, No. 3 is an ex-
tremely difficult work that can
be carried off with elan only by
q virtuoso.
The Mendelssohn Variations
Serieuses is also a very hard
piece to play, and a very ef-
fective one. Whether Mr.. Lyd-
don had worked on it more as
siduously than on the Beetho-
ven, or whether the music Of
Mendelssohn simply lies more
easily under his fingers. the
variations were by far the most
successful Of the three major
works on the program.
The local music-lover owes
Catholic University a vote of
thanks, for it is only on its
campus that regular chamber
music and solo recitalS are con-
tinued each summer several
weeks after the other major
music halls give up until fall.
Next week at the University
there is scheduled a recital by
Lillian Mernik, contralto.

Ifs Second
100 Years
By DICK LOHMEYER
Contributing Writer

OCEAN CITY, Md. July 80.
Although Ocean City is cele-
brating it's S7th birthday this
season, it is far from being the
Oldest resort on the Eastern
Shore peninsula of Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia.
Just north Of the Maryland
resort is the tiny resort town
Of Fenwick Island, Del, which
just last year marked its Tooth
anniversary. 1t was on August
I, 1859. that the Government
completed building Of the pres
ent Fenwick Island lighthouse.
Almost Immediately upon its
completion a small community
soon began sprouting up around
the busy beacon of the light
house.
In the earliest days the Fen
wick area was known as Cape
Henlopen, but the name was
dropped and later assigned
further north to the coastline
between Rehoboth Beach and
LeweS, Del.
The island got its name from
Thomas Fenwick. Tales have
been told that he was ship
wrecked and swan ashore to
spend the rest of his days on
the island that now bears
his name. To this day natives
of the area still refer to it as
Fenwick's Island.
Historical data recalls a
ditch Is feet wide which was
dug to connect Assawoman
Bay with what is now called
Little Assawoman Bay. A new
concrete bridge presently spans
the bay area that once was a
strip of land dividing the
two bays.
Pirates frequented the shores
Of Delaware, raiding shipping
and surprising country folks
when they came ashore seeking
fresh water and stores. There
are tales of pirate treasure
buried north of Little Assa-
woman Bay, but most natives
discount them as romantic
nonsense.
For a period Of about so
years, roughly IT'S to 1925,
Fenwick was the site Of very
productive salt springs. Men
dug deep holes that quickly
filled with salt water which
was boiled down in giant cal
drons. The remaining salt was
shipped to Philadelhia and sold
at six dollars a barrel.

along the bayfront also will

Red or Green?
You'll see Villa Taverna, the
zoo, and get a quick look at
part of Rome's major park,
Villa Borghese.
The ED and the ES are green
painted tandem affairs which
for some reason are known
popularity as the "circolare
rossa"-red circolare.
You'll find it's best if you
have a seat, so go during a
non-rush hour, preferably in
.mid-morning because even the
fast moving circolare is warm
during Rome'S afternoon heat.
Having a seat not only gives
you a chance to see more, but
also obviates fancy footwork on
the sharp curves. Even if you
have a seat during rush hour,
you'll see only half of what's
possible to see-standees will
block your view from the win
dows on the other side.
You can make the entire cir
Gle trip all at once, or you can
make it a real sightseeing trip
by getting on and off at the
major attractions. Of course,
each time you reboard it will
cost you another nickel.
But it's worth every lire of it.
