will not be sufficient to force
price increases. they surely will
not leave room for voluntary
price cuts.
At the heart of this analysis
is, of course, the accommodating
evidence that the recession has
ended and the country is NOV
ing into another upturn. At
the highest policy-making lev
els, the attitude is that if help
ing to make the upturn power
full enough to slash unemploy-
ment to tolerable levels puts
some upward pressure on
prices, so be it-this is the
lesser Of the two evils.
And even at this early date
in the recovery, there is a
buoyancy among many bust
nesSmen which will work
against further price reduc-
tions. While we would have to
be fundamentally stupid to set
off another initiation spiral,
there is no doubt that we have
built in a bias toward a grad
ually higher price level over
the years.

Gain Despite
Irregularity
BY ED MORSE

NEW YORK April 15.-The
stock market advanced again
this week despite irregularity.
The Associated Press aver
age of so stocks scored its fifth
straight weekly rise, gaining
LAO at 245.50 and ending the
week somewhat below its all
time peak of 246.60 reached
Tuesday.
In a sharp advance on Mon
day, the Dow industrial index
closed at 692.06, easily topping
the January 5, 1860 peak of
685.46. On Tuesday it bettered
the Monday record, closing at
GAIL.
A sharp correction" and a
couple of sessions of consolida-
ton followed. For the week,
the Dow industrials showed a
net gain of 1904 at 693.72.
A factor in the weeks ir-
regularity was the income tax
deadline, stretched to Monday
because the regular April Is
deadline falls this week end.
The need to raise cash for tax
payments was an element in
the sporadic character of the
weeks trading.
Reports from the business
front generally supported a
more optimistic atmosphere in
Wall Street.

Good Time to Buy
81 SYLVIA PORTER

Now is a good time to buy.
It's a good time to buy goods,
supplies, money, because:
Prices in general are about
as low as they're going to get
and signs of stiffening are
spreading. The vitality impor-
tant index of raw materials
prices has been rising for some
weeks. The Nations leading
purchasing agents report a de-
clining number Of price cuts,
a scattering of price increases.
Many commodity prices are
moving back up again. The
consumer price level crept up
throughout the recession and
there's little basis for expect
ing any downtrend to develop
at this stage. Not by any yard
stick can today's price level be
called low, but the outlook is
for stable to higher prices.
Supplies Adequate
Supplies of just about ev-
erything are ample. There is
no prospect Of scarcitieS, quite
the contrary. The fact that
you can select from the great
est variety of products in
years. though, that you can
buy at your leisure should be
rated a distinct plus"
Competition is the fiercest
in memory. Whether you can
bargain depends on wha t
you're buying, where you're
buying, many other factors that
can't be specified in this report,
but you certainly can try.
The cost of money is as
cheap as it will become-with
the possible exception of mort
gages-and it's also as avail
able as it will become, assum-
ing the next movement in the
economy is upward. AS bust
ness activity quickens and the
demand for credit increases
the normal pressures will be
for higher. not lower, interest

stances, loans won't become
any easier than now.

Symbol OF Service
A special Symbol of Service,
pictured above has been design
ed by the editor and will be
used throughout the ensuing
year to accompany presentations
which emphasize the important
part these two newspapers
have played in the life and prog
ress of Holmes County in the
past and today.
The Symbol of Service will
be used also to mark messages
of good will from readers and
friends which illustrate gra-
phically the intimate role of
friend and confidante enjoyed
by the two newspapers in thou
sands of homes in Holmes Coun-
ty today.
Briefly, the Symbol of Serv-
ice will be used to acquaint
readers with the tremendous
amount of public service per-
formed by the editor and the
newspapers; service that is
usually so taken for granted it
may be overlooked; service that
would be terrifically missed if
no longer available.
The attention of all readers
is invited to these messages as
they appear during the next
twelve months.

renders to you = year in and

A friend and long time sub

said: "The people of Holmes

all the good things you've done
for them ever since you've been
editor, all the boosts you've
given everything worthwhile.
They're inclined to forget.
That's human nature. But you
should remind them"
