Retirement

Donald F. Roberts, financial
vice president of Acacia Mutual
Life Insurance Co. retired last
Monday after 81 years Of serv-
ice with Washington's largest
life insurance company.
Mr.. Roberts vas honored by
his Acacia associates and re-
ceived numerous retirement
gifts at a dinner at the In
ternational Inn.
Loan correspondents who
represent the company across
the Nation participated in the
affair. They came from as far
away as Seattle and Denver to
attend.
He also was honored at a
testimonial luncheon at the
Continental Hotel. Mr.. Rob-
erts will continue to reside in
Georgetown.
He joined Acacia in 1925, be-
came assistant treasurer in
1927 and moved up to treasur-
er in 1888. He was elected a
vice president and placed in
charge of Acacia's investment
department in 1912. He was
promoted to financial vice pres
ident in 1856.
When Mr.. Roberts first be-
came associated with the in
vestment department, the COM
pany had SIC million of assets.
Today the total stands at a
record mark Of nearly $3.50
million.

Auto Output Rises
Slightly in Week

DETROIT, Jan. 5 (AP).-
Auto production rose slightly
this week from last but failed
to match the comparable week
of 1862, Automotive News re-
ported.
The trade paper estimated
the weeks output at 1912
cars compared with 109,990 last
week and 121 1853 in the similar
week a year ago. Last year the
week had four full working
days since new years fell on
Monday. This year work was
limited to 312 days or less in
many plants.
Truck output was estimated
at 9,378 units this week against
1875 last week and 1880 last
year.
Automotive news predicted a
production record for cars will
be set this month with 697 500
assemblies scheduled. The rec
ord for January is 688,770 in
1860.

Electrical Appliances
Show 6 Pct. Increase

NEW YORK, Jan. S (AP).-
The electrical appliance indus
try shipped at least SIS bill
lion worth of goods in 1862. a
trade association spokesman
said.
Joseph F. Miller, managing
director Of the National Elec-
trical Manufacturers Associa-
ton. said this was 6 per cent
higher than the estimated 1851
total Of $1.42 billion.
He forecast increased ship
ments in 1868 of room air con-
ditioners, refrigerators, food
freezers, ranges, water heaters

Utility Records Set

The steady increases in serv-
ice connections of public utility
companies serving the area
provided the best evidence of
additional population.
The area had 423,388 gas
meters, 537,244 electric custom
ers and 1,401 ,626 telephones on
November 80, all new records
for this date.
Record totals for November
80 are compared below with a

ACTIVE GAS METERS
Suburbs Have Problems

The suburbs. we're not with
out problems at the beginning
of the new year, but most of
these were related to keeping
public services and CONNER
cial development abreast of
population growth.
New shopping facilities con-
tinued to multiply in the last
year and the competitive race
for location showed no signs
of letting up for various types
Of chain stores. Costs of doing
business SCARED further.
The price of new schools and
other public facilities was be-
ing questioned in many por-
tions of the area as taxes rose
even higher.
Montgomery County, one Of
the hot spots in area growth,
had a revolution in its county
government with an almost
complete turnover in the
County Council and the School
Board. Taxes also provided a
hot issue in the Virginia coun-
ties.
Highway needs of the sub
urban sections also have had
political overtones in Maryland
and Virginia politics. Planning
agencies are having to battle
their way.
Investors Cautious.
Few investors found that
1862 was a very good year for
capital gains and most of them
are cautious about their hopes
for 1868.
After the stock market break
Of last May, many small in
veStors decided to put their
funds into a different type Of
investment such as in bank de-
posits or savings and loan ac-
counts.
Because Of disappointments
In new and untested securities
in 1862, many investors will
turn to securities of older COM
panies and to more conserva-
tive fields such as banks, insur-
ance companies and Federal
and municipal bonds.
The investment fever that in
.-fected many In 1860 and 1861

Area payrolls were estimated
at a record $4,578,796,000 in
1862 on the basis of available
data at the yearend. This was
8.8 per cent above $4,000, 1884,

year.
