My family for some time had
large holdings in national re-
tail corporation. At one time
this firm has had nearly 100
stockholders who could not be
located. 1t may sound unlikely,
but you actually might be one of
these stockholders. There must
be hundreds of other companies
with the same difficulty. And
don't forget that such stocks
can double or triple in value,
and you may not be found to be
given your just share in the
profits. Don't let tina. happen to
you or your family.
Don't Dispose Defaulted Bonds
While on this subject, let me
warn you not to rush to sell
bonds that you hold when they
default. The price of the bond
may plummet from par to so
cents or so on the dollar, but l
have seen many such bonds
climb back up to ST 900 in the
course of years. I remember
that Sheraton Hotel chain bonds
sold at 81 900 before the turn Of
the century, then they defaulted
and fell to around 5000 where
they remained for years. Long
after that, a courageous and i'm
aginative financier named Ern-
est Henderson showed his faith
in the hotel business by buying
up these undesirable" bonds.
Since that time they have, Of
course. been paid off at par.

the several corporations in Virginia
which have saved many thousands of
dollars over the past several years in
local taxes. The Norfolk & Western Rail-
way, Virginia Electric & Power Com
pany, Virginia Telephone & Telegraph
Company, Southern Railway, Southside
Electric Cooperative, and other corpora
tons had a differential in local taxes
of Approximately $140,OOOOO in 1862 and
1863. No contributions were made bv
these firms to the Prince Edward School
Foundation for the reason that some
stockholders might not be sympathetic
with the detectives of the Foundation.
If this be legitimate objection, it
would appear that these corporations
might meet any objections by contribut-
ing half of the differentials of the past
few years to the Prince Edward School
Foundation and half to the Free School
Association. In our opinion this would
be much more sensible than making
blanket appeals to corporations nillv
Willy throughout the country. who have
had no advantages to their stockholders.
Furthermore, we heard from a gen
orally knowledgeable source that the
necessary funds for the Prince Edward
Free School were to be supplied bv the
Kennedy foundations.

BabsOn Discusses ''Worthless' Stocks

BABSON PARK. MASS, Sept.
5-Evefy now and again | re-
celVe 2 spate of questions from
readers about what to do with
old and apparently worthless
stock certificates that have been
found around the house. How
can they be sure, they want to
know, whether or not these
stocks have any value at all?
Fortunes May Be Uncovered
My first advice to such people
IS not to let go of such invest
ments for any amount until they
check every possible source of
information about the companies
involved l remember some
years ago that a Wall Street
banker asked me if l would help
nm get some worthless"
stocks from readers Of my col
unln for a few pennies per GER
tlflcate not per share. Looking
into the situation. l found that
AZ out Of 80 cert---i,atas bought
by this broker turned c.,t to be
actually worthless. BUT one
out Of every so might be Wolgil
as much as $1,000. This usually
WAS certificate needed by a
company to dissolve or conson-
date without any outstanding OBJ
legations or complications.
While l am in no position. of
course, to tell my readers eX-
actly what to do in such situa-
tons, l still insist that you
should not throw away any GER
hficate just because some men,
Der Of the family or some other
helpful" person says it is value
less. Probably the best bet is to
show it to your regular banker.
He will know how to get about
checking on the current value, if
any of your certificates.

A True Story?

A young man lived with his
parents in a public housing unit.
He attended public schools and
participated in the free lunch
program. He entered the Army
and upon discharge retained his
National Life Insurance. He en-
rolled in the State University,
working part time in the State
Capitol to supplement his CT
education check. Upon gradua-
ton. he married Public Health
nurse and bought a home with
an FILA loan, then obtained a
Small Business Loan to go into
business.
A baby was born in the City
Hospital. He bought small
ranch with the aid of the Vet
GRAMS Land Program and OBJ
tanned emergency feed from the
government. Later he put part
OF his land in the Soil Bank and
payments soon paid off his
ranch. His father and mother
live on the ranch very comfort
ably on their Social Security
checks.
Then he wrote his Congress
man:
Il wish to protest these ex-
cessive governmental expendi-

When this hand was played,
not long ago, West led three
rounds of diamonds to start
with. South ruffed the third
diamond, drew trumps with the
ace and queen, and ruffed
another diamond. us
South then cashed two high
spades and led a third spade,
hoping that the trick would
be won by a pussycat. AS 1t
happened, East-that dirty dog
won the third spade. East
returned a club, and South
had to lose a club trick.
"I'd have made it if he had
held the king of clubs" South
explained to his long-suffering
partner. This was true, ~of
course, but the bidding made
1t dollars to doughnuts that
West was the pussycat with
the king of clubs.

South can make the contract

round Of diamonds, South must
lead out his remaining five
trumps, discarding a low spade
