MEET RUDOLPH THE
RED-NOSED REINDEER’S
All readers will be greatly in-
terested in George R Harrison’s
books, "What Man May Be" and
“Atoms In Action. ’
What About Stocks?
The N. Y. Stock Exchange for j
the first time in history is urg-,
ing that savings be put into
stocks now instead of into sav-
ings banks, life insurance. and
other such standard invest-
ments. Only the future can tell I
whether this advice is good. For
the past ten years the prices of
stocks have been advancing, but
how long will this continue? For
every person who now buys
Stocks some other person, equal-
ly wise, must be selling these
same stocks. What would hap-
pen if all persons should de-
cide now to sell instead of to
buy?
Finally, let me remind readers
that the cost of p.ant, book
value, and various other statis-
tics do not determine the value
of a stock or the price which
you receive when you want the
cash. Ultimately, the price of a
stock depends upon the earn-
ings. Inflation increases costs
for corporations as well as for
individuals and governments.
Eisenhower’s re-election cannot
prevent dividends from being
teresting events of the trip.
Perhaps we’d better go back
to the beginning and retrace
some of the steps to Peel. As
local Texas readers are aware,
the countryside aong. the high-
way from Gaineville to Tex-
arkana was parched and partial-
ly barren, except for isolated
spots, in mid-October
But after entering Arkansas,
alfalfa and winter grain crops
were luxuriantly green and the
landscape was fresh as if oc-
casional and recent rains had
fallen. Cotton stalks were taller
and some of the crop was not
completely gathered. Cattle ap-
peared to be fatter and hogs
were lazy from plenty of feed.
I was unable to learn just how
many miles it was, before reach-
ing Texarkana. Tex., that we
traveled alongside the front
barriers of the Red River arse-
nal. Uncle Sam’s huge ammuni-
tion and army tank larm. But it
is many a mile, with barracks

is the time to read ’he danger-
ous promises of all of last
week’s successful candidates.
These promises make more in-
flation inevitable, due to the
Employment act of 1946. This
was a vicious act. Ray D. Mur-
phy, chairman of the board of
the Equitable Life Assurance so-
ciety. has an excellent article
in the Commercial and Finan-
cial Chronicle of October 11 de-
manding that this act be amend-
ca. I. however, cannot imagine
President Eisenhower and the
new congress making such
amendments until it is too late.
Until then, those who now
receive pensions. life insurance,
social benefits for che aged, and
social security can be severely
hurt. Not only large investors
will suffer. Already our own
government bonds (the 2%‘s)
have declined from 106 to 91.
The banks and insurance com-
panies need not suffer. They re-
ceive deposits and premiums in
“phoney” money, but they will
pay out with “phoney” money.
Wages will increase, but most
banks and insurance companies
are adopting automation to get
on with fewer employes. Cer-

Since we had not stopped dur-
ing the day for lurch, but had
kept going as fast a.s possible,
we were ravenously hungry. A

beneath the pictures This dam
was completed in the latter part
of 1952, therefore s compara-
tively new.
Both lakes are -paradises for
those who love the outdoors, as
the ever increasing flow of tour-
ists demonstrates. Furthermore,
hemesites adjacent to the lakes,
or in energetic communities not
far removed, are in brisk de-
mand. It is surprising, the num-
ber of retired persons from var-
ious parts of the nation, making
investments there, and the
amount of capital being invested
in motels ana other sources of
pleasure where tourists abide.
The above two lakes are prin-
cipally in Arkansas, but also on
the White river in cissouri are
Lake Taneycomo, near Branson
and Hollister. and Lake of the
Ozarks, further up the river. It
appears to be & proiific stream,
along with its many tributaries
and the natural springs that
help feed it.
The streams, like the high-
ways. wind in an endless series
of long and short curves, whip-
ping the soil loose from the
rocky and timbered cliffs, form-
ing hundreds of trysting places
for game fish, and wild fowl in
season. One fishing on these
lakes feels a thrill when a wild
deer ventures to the water’s
edge from the almost impenetra-
ble woodlands, for refreshment,
or hears the call of wild tur-

endeavor to recal and type in-
tain real estate and some com-
modities, such as natural re-
sources, may for a while bene-
fit from inflation. But the great
mass of honest people will ulti-
mately suffer and President
Elsenhower will not prevent it.
The Cost of Living
Readers should pe interested
only in what their wages, pen-
sions, social security, and bank
deposits and insurance will buy.
We should forget all about dol-
lars and think only of what can
be purchased in terms of food,
rent, clothing, education, enter-
tainment, etc. I definitely fore-
cast that the cost of living will
gradually increase during the
next four years of the Republi-
can administration.
The promise of new highways,
slum clearance, and other
worthy projects will all cost
more than expected. When you
go under a new steel bridge
or one of these new highways,
remember that from 1946, when
the Employment act became
law, to the present time, the
price of steel has just about
doubled. Certainly the automo-
bile industry and most of the
increase in all plant capacity
depend on steel. Steel and re-
lated industries employ 80% of
our mass production workers.
Interesting Statistics
The expenditures which can i
depend on government money I
will continue, but expenditures ;
for products bought on install- ■
ments may suffer. Here are
some figures to think over!
Since 1939 the government debt
has increased from $40 billion to
$275 billion resulting in an in-
changing colors of leaves of
oak and other trees indigent to
the territory; A
Little Rock gave evidenes. of
prosperity, with many new busi-
ness and industrial buildings un-
der construction, or recently oc-
cupied, and scores’of attractive
residences. The same was true
of most of the Arkansas cities
along the route, including Hope.
Prescott. Arkadelpnia and Mal-
vern. each attractive and show-
ing citizenry’ pride of ownership.
It has been a long time, if
ever, over so long a distance
in the innumerable journeys
made by this writer, that he re-
calls having seen as much high-
way traffic, going both direc-
tions. as on this paiticular Sun-
day. This occasioned slower driv-
ing than was expected, as did
seme of the unfamiHai highway
signs. Some read: "Resume nor-
mal speed,” yet do not indicate
“normal” speed, and hardly be-
fore you realize it, you are in a
3G-mile zone and a m’nute later,
20 miles. Constant alertness is
the price you pay for safety.
Then, as the miles pass be-
neath your car wheels, you be-
gin to enter the Ozark mountain
area, where the timber becomes
thick, the roads rerrow, the
signs slow you to 15, 20, 30
miles, as the traffic arteries
turn virtually into snake trails,
round and round you go—horse-
shoe curves, douole reverses,
steep hills calling for low gear,
etc. And with the highway lined
v ith hundreds of cars, your
progress is doubly s’owed.

Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks were the primary purposes for construction of two huge
dams on the White river. Electric power generated is of secondary importance.
