Three years ago Paul bought his
family home in Tenafly, N. j.,
where he lives with his dad sis
ter and brother.
He doesn't carry much cash, be-
cause he doesn't have much occa-
sion to use it, having charge ac-
counts everywhere, he says. He
likes to fish, water ski, box, play
billiards, bowl and use the trampo-
lin. He takes his dates horseback
riding, to the theater and to din

Paul says he has never modelled
himself after anyone, but he much
admires Perry Como.
In December he goes to Manila,
playing at a stadium that holds
10000 people. The first three days
are already sold out, he says. He'll
go to Puerto Rico for Christmas
and New Years. He'll star on ABC's

He is writing a Broadway musical.
Paul, who doesn't have a steady

BABSON PARK, Mass, Decem-
Der S-Almost every one of my
readers has at least one share of
common stock, and most of you
are interested in many more
shares. Unfortunately, few peo-
pie realize that there are three
very important factors involved
in the purchase or holding of COM
monstocks
ASSET VALUE
The first factor (but not the
most important) is asset value.
To ascertain this, you take the
value of the assets from the state
ment which is sent to stockhold-
ers and deduct the total of liza
bilities Except for the common
stock. The difference is the net
asset value of the company. Next,
divide this figure by the number
of common shares outstanding.
This will give you the net asset
value per share.
When you compare this asset
value figure just obtained with
the price your stock is selling for
now, and with the price you paid
for it, you will probably be sur
prised. Over a period of years,
the ratio of net asset value to the
selling price may average out fair
ly well, depending upon the in
dustry The more popular the in
dustry or the company, the high
er the price will average in rela-
ton to net asset value per share.
Today, however, most stocks are
selling considerably above their
asset value Readers who have a
goodly number of shares of the
common stock of any company

LOWER TAXES

Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges re-
Gently called for a cut in taxes as way
to spur business progress and growth. We
are in agreement with the former North
Carolina Governor, in believing that re-
duction in federal income taxes would ener
gize the economy.
One of the disturbing things that con-
fronts us, in the competition between our
free enterprise system and communism, is
the fact that in some areas of economic
growth, the communist have been moving
ahead faster than we have. In increasing
their production of steel, coal, electricity
etc., the rate of growth in the Soviet Union
has been greater than that in the United
States, in many cases.
Every citizen should be concerned about
this comparison. The free enterprise sys-
tenn can and must stay ahead of commun-
ism, in economic growth. One of the reas-
ons the rate of growth in the United States
has been slower than it could have been is
the high and discouraging rate of federal
income and corporation taxes.
Because of the almost confiscatory rate
of taxes, many business men have been dis
couraged from fighting so vigorously to ex-
pand their businesses A reduction in taxes
would tend to right this wrong. 1t would
provide an incentive for expansion. 1t would
put more money into circulation by allowing
private people to keep more money by ere
ating more jObs>as businesses were expand
ed, which in turn would put even more mon
ey into circulation.

FREE ENTERPRISE PRODUCES
ABUNDANCE

The Iron Curtain countries have long
been plagued with food shortages. Bare
subsistence diets are the rule rather than
the exception. Meat is a rarity The pitt
fully small quantities of it that the average
family obtains is of poor quality and is ex-
tortionately priced.
The regimented citizens of these "Work-
. ers' Paradises" will, it is safe to say, never
be allowed to read an item that appeared in
a recent issue of the Michigan Farmer. 1t
pointed out that this year Americans will
consume an average of 85 pounds of beef,
64.5 pounds of pork, 6.1 pounds of veal, and
A pounds of lamb along with an abundance
of dairy and poultry products.
Then it adds that the average worker
needs only 20 minutes Of working time to
earn enough to pay for pound of meat-as
against 35 minutes some 80 years ago. Put
ting it another way, the retail price of meat
has increased less than 10 per cent in the
last 10 years, as against whopping 81 per
cent increase in average hourly earnings.
The American meat industry, in all its
mifcations-producer, packer, retailer
is a competitive, free enterprise operation.
1t is ruled by the natural law of supply and
demand-not by the fiat of dictators. The
results speak for themselves-plentiful sup
plies.

SMOKING AND THE HEART

We all know that the Public Health Ser
vice, after a study of over 100000 cases
covering a period of five years, found that
heavy cigarette smoking was connected to
lung cancer.
And the government service issued a
warning then, after keeping silent for years,
to the effect that there is too much clinical
evidence indicating that smoking causes
lung cancer to ignore it any longer.
This is, however, only one of the dis
eases which has been mentioned in cOnnec-
tion with cigarette smoking. The latest evil
dence on another-heart disease-is highly
interesting. Two research specialists, one
from Albany, N. Y, and the other from
Framingham, Massachusetts, found that the
death rate from coronary heart disease was
three times higher for middle-aged men who
smoked a pack a day, or more, compared
with other men, among thousands OF cases
studied over period Of six years.
Said the researchers: "There is strong
evidence for some lethal factor aSsOcl-
ated with cigarette smoking"
Editors are not medical authorities nor
do they pose as such. However, common
sense is common sense. And there have been
any number of SOBER respectable studies
which indicate that smoking cigarettes, as
many as pack a day or more, is going to
kill quite few of those who do.
The real truth is, though, that few peo-
pie would continue to smoke if they knew
it would take ten or twenty years off their
lives If they were positive that they were
to be among the victims, and that unless
they stopped smoking, they would develop
lung cancer and die-in year or two, they
would throw that cigarette away and shud-

CeyIonese Give Reception

in oil by Mrs. Rajapakasa
herself.
Also noteworthy was the
jewelry worn by some Of the
women.
Miss Madhu Ramani, Sec
retary to the Indian Ambas-,
Sador, whose elder sister,
Sheila Ramani, is the Doris
Day Of India, was wearing
a small silver valentine on
her left hand. It was fast
ened with delicate silver
chains, each ending In a
ring upon her fingers.
"You wear this only on
one hand" she explained. 1T
does not come in pairs"
]. M. Udochi. the new Nj
gerian Ambassador, confided
that his family saw snow for
the first time in their lives
on December II, when WASH
ington had its first snow
storm Of the season. I'VE
were quite thrilled by the ex-
,perience," he said.
A regular at the reception
was District Commissioner
Robert Mclaughlin. whose
birthday falls on February 4.
He said he always celebrates
1t at the Ceylonese Inde-
pendence Day reception.
Mr.. Gunewardene was In
his most cheerful mood.
Praising President Kennedy's
state-of-the- Union message
for its "forthrightness," he
said:
"The President has q Job
to do. He realizes Its implica-
tions. He knows how to do
the job, and he is set on doing
1t. His sense Of direction is
exemplary. The cabinet he
has chosen is certainly one
Of the most intellectual ever
formed"
The Ambassador laughed
heartily when he was re-
minded of what George Ber-
nard Shaw once wrote to
Prime Minister Nehru Of In
dia. that in his opinion Cey-
lon is the birthplace Of the
human race, because everyone
there appears to be an origi-
nal.
There is a good deal Of
truth in it," said Mr.. Gune-
wardene. I'm Ceylon we pride
ourselves on our liberal out
look. There are various
streams Of civilization present
in our country. There are the
Indian, English, Dutch, Por-
tuguese and Arab influences,
and we cannot but be broad
in our outlook"

hension is inevitably improved, and with it, reten-
ton of the meaning of what you have read.
To help you analyze your present skill as a
reader, bear in mind that there are three types of
readers First the motor reader: He forms the words
with his lips he reads, and so he can grasp only
one word at time. If you know you don't move
your lips, you can give yourself second test: put
your fingers on your throat. Hyou feel movement
in your larnyx you read, you are probably motor
reader, grasping only one word at time. You can
read silently only as fast as you can read aloud
Second, there is the auditory reader He hears in his
minds ear" all the words as he reads; though his
speed much greater than that of the motor reader
he is still handicapped in becoming really rapid
reader. You can tell whether you're an auditory
reader by giving yourself this test: take phrase
such as 'Mary had a little lamb" - and read it out
