Babson Discusses When This Bull Market Will CuIminate

Babson Park, Mass. April 20.
After my fifty years of study of
the stock market. | tender list
of signs for the elimination of a
bull market. and offer an impor-
tant final conclusion.
Watch Wall Street Statistics
l. like to notice the number of
shareholders of the larger cor
porations. When the number of
shareholders begins to decline. it
means to me that we are nearing
the end of the bull market -. that
the insiders are selling out.
2. watch the level of brokers'
loans and the degree of market
activity. There is a steady rise in
both of these preceding the culmi-
nation of bull market.
3. like to watch the published
percentage of total borrowing by
members of the New York Stock
Exchange. When 1t is So or more,
the stock market is i'm vulner-
able position.
Stock Prices And Money Rates
A. A prolonged period of tight
money with low bond prices and
large stock transactions usually
points to the termination of bull
market. OF course now, with
President Kennedy attempting to
control the money market, this
situation is not so significant.

large brokerage houses always
balance the relative number of or

prosperity has gone too far and
has been followed by period of
reaction. When we were on the
gold basis, the investor could fore
cast this change: but now we are
on a political basis instead. Presi-

simply delaying the final evil day

CHRoNICLE MILFORD, DELAWARE
STOP DoWNGRADING OUR SCHOOLS

Supporters of federal intervention in
public school education are downgrading
the achievements of American teachers,
school boards, and communities in building
the finest education system the world has
ever known.
That is the view of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. 1t supports it
by pointing out that there are more class
rooms, more teachers, lower pupil-teacher
ratio, lower pupilclassroom ratio, and a
higher level of education in this country than
ever before in history
Statistically, the story goes like this: !:
In the last 10 years the number of public
school pupils increased 48 per cent, while
the number of classrooms jumped so per
cent and the number of teachers 81 per
cent. Teachers salaries rose 72 per cent,
to an average of $5,389 year. Money spent
per pupil doomed from 1924 year to $500.
On top of that, American communities
approved the highest volume of school bond
issues in history during 1860
All this has been done without federal
intervention, federal dictation-or the fed
eral control that would inevitably follow fed
eral subsidy of local schools.

dent kennedy and Secretary OF Agriculture
Orville Freeman to end farm supports
Howard Werkheiser, who's only 21, owns
976 hogs in partnership with his father in
Kewanee, Illinois-"the hog capital of the
world" Recently, Howard, along with other
All members, visited Washington to tell
the nation what's doing down on the farms.
Here's Howard's report:
Il told Secretary Freeman in President
Kennedy's ofice-in nice tone of voice, of
course, | didn't sass him or nothin'-the
Government should try to get out of the
farming picture in 10 or Is years, slowly
"The hog market has no price supports
and they're doing fine, but the corn market
has and is getting messed up.
"a few minutes. later, | met the Presi-
dent, who said, Howard, what do you think
about the farm situation? | said the same
thing, and he looked little disturbed
It's interesting to note that the four
HIS of the 4-H Club stand for head, heart,
hand and health It's also pleasant to re-
port that Howard is in excellent health; his
hands are large as skillets; his heart is big; i;
and he certainly used his head when the
chips were down.

NEEDED-HORSE SENSE

Reports indicate that the proposal to in
crease frst-class and air-mail postage rates
by one cent each will face tough and per-
haps impossible going in Congress. The ma
tional legislature has been traditionally OPP
posed to raising these rates except as mat
ter of last resort. One reason is that the
mails serve an essential public service, are
a source of education and enlightenment and
so, it is argued, need not be self-supporting.
However, whether or not Congress will
agree to the higher postage proposal, there
should be no reluctance in doing something
constructive about the parcel post deficit.
The education and enlightenment argument
does not apply to this service. 1t is purely
commercial operation, in direct competition
with private carriers of parcels on the ma
tional, state and regional levels. And it has
consistently violated a structure laid down
when it was created in 1913-that it should
pay its own way. Instead, it has generally
operated on a deficit basis Over the years,
these deficits have run to huge total.
The Administration contemplates many
increases in spending, for wide variety of
projects. Without arguing the pros and
cons of any of them, it would seem that
common horse sense demands that all poss-
ible economies should be made in other areas,
if there is to be any hope of avoiding more
big budget deficits-and more taxes and
more imitation or both. One important facet
Of such program is to make government
business operations pay their own way. Par
eel post is a conspicuous example of that
need

Social security benefits may now

who died before January /, 1910,
if the worker had at least a year
and a half of social security work
when he died, says Edward +. Sull-
ivan, District Manager of the Social
Security Administration.
Before the social security amend
ments of 1860, no monthly bene-
fits were payable to the survivors
of a worker who died before 1910.
Under the new law. if worker
had social security credit for at
least year and half, benefits
may now be payable to his wild
ow (and dependent mother) if age
90 or older. to his dependent father
at age 65. and to his disabled chill
dren if they became disabled before
they reached age Is. This is true
even if the family had collected the

FOR PET AND
VET COLUMN

Beginning with this issue. as a
mother service to it's subscribers,
the Milford Chronicle. through the
cooperation of the Kent-Sussex Vet
erinary Medical Association will
present a weekly column devoted
to the care and health of our pets.
This, being the first of the series,
will serve more or less as an in
PRODUCTION. We will cite a few facts
about pets and the pet world. and
mention a few of the things that
will be discussed in the weeks to
come.
Most of us are quite surprised
to learn of the number of animals
being kept as pets by American
families. A three year old census
of the pet population of the Uni
ted States shows that at that time
there were an estimated 25.000.000
dogs. 26.700,000 cats. 15.000.000 par
monkeys, and 1000 skunks being
kept as pets in American homes.
Add to this the various hamsters,
guinea pigs, rabbits, white mice.
snakes. parrots. fish, etc, also be-
ing kept as pets. and we find that
at least 55.6 per cent of all the
families in the United States have
a pet of some kind.
The amount of money spent on
these pets is staggering. and is
probably a fair reflection of our
middle class economy. For in very
few other parts of the world is
so much spent on what is basically
a luxury item. This money is spent
not only in purchasing the pets
themselves. but also on everything
from good veterinary care and
special foods. down through fancy
collars, playthings and special beds.
One has only to visit the pet food
department of the local supermar-
ket or grocery store to find evil
| dence of the fact that the pet food
| industry has become one of the
| larger of American industries.
Besides the love and companion
ship they give US, many. OF our
pets perform quite useful functions.
We have only to look at some of
their names, both official and re-
gional, to get an idea of some of
the services that they perfrom. A
mong the official names we find
"Retriever" Pointer, Fox Terrier
and Sheep Dog. Regionally we find
/ that descriptive local names fire.
quently take precedent Thus in
our area we all know of the RAT
Terriers. Rabbit Dogs. and
Coon Hounds. and the majestic
/ German Shepherd is almost uni
versally known as the Police Dog.
No hunter or shepherd is ever
without his dogs, and our borders
and military installations are all
guarded by sentries patrolling with
dogs. whose keen senses of smell

and locate an intruder long before

MYTH-AND FACT

If something is repeated often enough,
great numbers of people will come to believe
it, whether it is true or not
That seems the case with the old claim
that the Tennessee Valley Authority has
done wonders for the economic welfare of
the area it serves.
Here is a paragraph from an editorial
in the Bedford Indiana Daily Times-Mail
"The Edison Electric Institute was prompt
ed by declaration in a public-school science
text book that IVA had brought prosperity
to the Tennessee Valley to look into the sta
tistics. Between IVA and Oak Ridge, the
federal government has put around three
and half billions into Tennessee. Back in
1880, Tennessee was fourth in population
among 10 of its neighboring states; in 1860,
it was fifth. 1t had not gained in the same
group of states in the important indices of
postal receipts, farm receipts, new corpor-
alton business and individual income taxes
paid Some of the other neighboring states
have moved ahead of Tennessee. But Ten
nesee did move ahead in depressed commun-
ities"
Cheap power" is nowhere near as inn
portant magnet to industry as the social
izers would have us believe. In most busi-
nesses ,as i'm most homes, the cost of COM
mercially produced electricity runs to some
thing like one per cent of the operating bud
get. And Twas "cheap power, let us not
forget, comes from special privileges be-
slowed on it by government = including
avoidance of most taxes, and other advan-
tages which are paid for by the taxpayers
at large. Let us not forget either, that had
IVA never been conceived, taxpaying pri-
vate enterprise would have provided the area
with all the power it could use at publicly
regulated rates.
The IVA myth, so zealously promoted by
its hackers, is very different thing from
the IVA fact.
