Such waste is double tragedy. The

! factors is now helpful to real
estate. .....
Consider Human Factors
Another thing to remember is
that the regularity and balance
of cycles in real estate activity
are especially pronounced. Up
ward and downward swings
tend to match, in both intensity
and duration. But according to
Sir Isacc Newton's Law. it is
the product of the intensity and
duration which must ultimately
balance. AS the intensity of the
recent real estate boom has been
rather magnified, then the du-
ration of the following slump
may be greater than expected.
This is contrary to most reason
ing, but this is Newton's Law.
OverextenSion and retrench-
ment are psychological human
forces which cannot be measur-
ed. Another human factor is the
large number of people reach
ing the age of 20, which means
more marriages. This will call
for more rented houses and
small apartments. The big
home-buying age is 3O-35. The
percentage of Americans reach
ing these ages has begun to de-
cline. There is, however, a
growing trend toward home
ownership, especially homes in
the suburbs. This figure is now
go per cent. Hence. rental price
rises have fallen below the cost
of-living advance. Foreclosures
ave been increasing in certain
new subdivisions. Office build
ings continue in demand, with
vacancies of not over S per cent.

and the younger people have to face
society, where the stuggle for existence
continues at an all-consuming pace. The
mechanical age brings comforts but con-
sumes many pleasures of living. Eternal
principles, governing the satisfied life
are being replaced by search for
serenity often in empty pleasures.
If this be dark picture = then let
the graduates of 1861 and every year
to come determine that they will seek
to contribute to the progress of the
individual; to maintain freedom in this
great nation; to defend the liberties of
all citizens; to provide for their own
security; to strive to live in peace with
themselves and justice toward their
fellowmen, ever mindful Of the leader
ship of an all powerful, just and omni-
potent God.
Each generation Of graduates has
been faced with many problems which
challenge their best efforts. The train
ing received in schools and colleges
merely train them to open doors to
knowledge. Graduation is the beginning
of the opportunity to use the tools at
hand so as to grow in value to ones
self and to repay ones obligation by
service to others.
The opportunities are tremendous in
this mixed-up world.

War On Waste

VICE Adm. Hyman G. Rickover never
tires of warning his fellow Ameri-
cans against the waste of our most pre-
cious national resource. He is SCENT
list, the father of the atomic submarine.
He is not worrying, however, about
shortage of materials with which to
build warship or planes or rockets. He
is concerned about the supply of Ameri-
can brain power.
That is our most valuable possession.
It is only hope of overcoming the huge
numerical advantage of the Soviet I'm
ion and Communist China. Yet Rickover
is convinced that we are letting far too
much of it waste away in our schools.

Before specializing in vacant

length of time before land ap-

possibility of being isolated by
highways not yet proposed, the
danger of sharp tax-rate boosts,
the future cost of utilities, like

and future prospects for existing

In Summary: Real estate in

Bobson Discusses

BABSON PARK, MASS, June
/ This was the motel industry.
Perhaps it continues to be
Americas fastest growing in
dustry from money invested
standpoint: but the number of
new individual mOtels declined
in 1860. Motels are becoming
"big business" and from an in
vestment standpoint may now
be classified with hotels. Motels,
now, are hotels laid on their
sides! Let me venture to say
that real estate has become our
fastest growing industry.
Real Estate In General
The first English translation
of Sir Isaac Newton's Law of
Action and Reaction upon
which the theory of the
Economic Cycle and the bust
ness of most Investment Coun-
selling are based was made in
1923. In those days, this Cycle
practically applied only to gold
and real estate. The price of
gold has since be come con-
trolled by the Federal Govern
ment; but the cycle theory still
applies to real estate. l per-
sonally believe that we may have
passed the peak of the persent
real estate cycle.
OF course, the general con-
diti0n of business always has a
profound effect on the real
estate situation, housing in par
ticular. Since fear that no
great economic boom is now
probable. the immediate future
of real estate must depend upon
other factors. One of these is
the availability and cost of
money. Another is the cost of
new building. Neither of these

PRESIDENT KENNEDY met

The two leaders discussed world

going about their work and their
play in peace, and are taking in
creasing advantage of their in
creasing opportunities.
Here is proof Of the disparity in
numbers between those who agi-
tate and those who don't:
The latest U. S. census reports
that there are about 1890, 900
Negroes in the United States. OF
that number, only two per cent
belong to the NAACP. The or
ganization had fewer than 3S7,-
600 members as of December,
1860, and they were concentrated
for the most part in the metro
politan areas outside the South.
For example, the six cities
of Detroit. Chicago, Cleveland,
Philadelphia, Washington, and
Baltimore had a total of more
than Sc, 900 NAACP members, or
% per cent of the national total.
The millions of Negroes in New
York City, Newark. Pittsburgh,
St. Louis, Los Angeles and other
major cities add appreciably to
the NAACP membership.
The NAACP has numbers and
political power in such non-South-
ern cities as those mentioned.
But in the South itself, sensible
and peaceable Negroes stay away

MANY thousands Of words have been
w and will be spoken to graduates
of schools and colleges during this
graduation season. Much advice will be
given by the speakers. A majority of
the addresses will refer to the miXed-up
world which the graduates will face
as they take their places in the rough
and tumble of everyday life. Some Of
the speakers will refer to the basic
governmental philosophy of our Re-
public, and a majority of the speakers
will make comparisons with the Com
munist theory of government. Few will
venture to say that the United States
is now in the twilight of socialism with
one more step into communism.
Since 1892, beginning with the New
Deal this country has gradually left
its conservative mornings and slipped
unconsciously into socialism. Though
we hold to the form of Republic and
give lip services to individual initiative,
thrift, industry, maximum production,
capital investment, etc., many of these
attributes have been lost in individual
dependence upon government, self-in-
diligence, slothfulness, inferior produc-
ton, burdensome taxes and initiation.
Ambition has been traded for promises
of security. Exhorbitant taxes have
dulled the ambition of many people,
