Babson . noted business statistician , forecasts economic and political conditions for the coming year. His summarj for 1961 follows.) BAUSON'S BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL FORECAST FOR 1962 1. I am hopeful for 1962 ; it-« >hould be a bettei \ear for my . •eaders than 1961. Industrial pro- duction wid exceed thai, of 1961. 2. There will be neither a nu- dear war nor total disarmament n 1962. Considerable progi ess may be made toward a ban on atomic weapons. 3. Some 30 stocks may reach an aveiage of 1 , 000 during 19b2 , although -these wdl not neces- saril y be the 30 Dow-Jones stocks. 4. Retail trade will make new records dining 1962. Increased newspaper advertising, especially n colors , will be a great boon .o merchandising. 5. Commodity pi ices will act -rratic during 1962. Agricultural * >rices will be held up by legisla- ion . but many metals will sell for ess. 6. The official cost-of-living \iguie will ris' * - slightl y ii 1962, HI . there may be a scandal in Vashington over how this ligure s calculated or adjusted. The real > increase in the cost-of-living will be due to increa-ed w ages de- manded. 7. The only ceitain shortages during 1962 will be i.i land suii. - ablo tor parking places and wa ter- nont piopeiuy readily accessible to builaing lots; also for auto- mobile \ g raveyards \ near cities ! which have been zoned. 8. The building of shelters will look silly before the end of 1962. Cer airil y the Federal Government will not underwrite the building oi private sheltds for individual families. 9. Good real estate must rise in price as ihe population increa- ses. Elementary mathematics de- term ne ihe price of suburoan real estate. This is notwithstanding the claim of the \ space companies \ which are - - -aid to be interested in stlLng ri ghts on the moon. There piooabl y are crazier speculations. 10. While the land on which your house now stands should increase in \ alue during 1962 , the building itself deprec.ates fiom the moment when it is first occup ied. A pos- sible exception would be certain very attractive ranch houses painted in color. 11. Automobile production wiU be the most important statistical indicator during 1962. This applies to both the number of automobiles ' and their sales value. We now have no reliable figures for the latter. 12. We will gradually approach an average of two cars for every family. The life of automobiles should gradually increase. The per- centage of automobiles annually destroyed will decrease in 1962. 13. Automobiles and gasoline will be , increas.ng iy, sources tor raising money by taxation. These means will be extended to include an additional assessment on the manuiacturers of au.omobiies. 14. Taxes , as a w.iole , will con- tinue io mciease in !9o2 ior every family. Business net taxes , how- e\ei , will decrease in 1V62 , throug h tne granting ol depreci- a io i l efunds wnie.i can be done by Executive order. The manufac- ture., may greatiy i-ici ease ins deductions for pasc investments and new machiner y, plane , and equip- nvn.. Douglas Dillon feels that -ucn tax leductions will increase the purchase oi new equipment , c.evelo , - greater efheiency, and re- sult in a net improvement in the employment situation. Th.s is good news for 1962. 15. Speculation in real estate and securities will be active dur- ing 1962; but good children will gradually be recognized as the best investment. Young peop le will be married earlier and wil 1 want to have large families. 16. Public education will gradu - ally be reorganized during the years ahead, bchoolhouses w.ll oe tuiit as places to \ park the kids ' whne the pai ems are at work. New schoolluuses will be built so as not to be over one story high , with lots of sunshine. 17. Owing to the lack of air- port facilities and to inadequate equipment , there will be increas- ing airplane accidents during 1962. 18. With all the above changes , p lus increased public improve- ments and longer vacation per- iods , families must save somehow and cut somewhere. I think it will begin in 1962 with clothing. This will gradually become cheaper and more attention will be paid to color. 19. The time is approaching when the weaving of cloth w.ll be greatly curtailed. Clothes will be made like paper. Plastic coats are alread y on the market. These are produced by feeding the cellop hane into a machine which cuts to de- sired sizes and bonds (not sews) the material into beautifully fin- ished goods of different colors. 20. We will hear more about automation during 1962. But the cost of building automatic factor- ies is so great that the change is coming slowly. Even electronics has been overemphasized. 21. There need be no unemp loy- ment among st< *el workei*s during 1962. But Govei*nment unemploy- ment figures will remain high. Foreign competition , due to low wages abroad , will be an im- portant factor. Women will pre- fer to work in air-conditioned fac- tories and have their home pan- iries filled with precooked foods. 22. Labor unrest will grow in ext'-nt and power. The Kennedy Administration is friendl y to union leaders and their demands. There will be demands for more ''fringes \ in 1962. A steel strike i- - possible. 23. This means that with in- creased taxes , prices of retail pro- ducts will be hi gher. This will be blamed on \inflation \ of money ; but it will be due to inflation of living standards. 24. The real value of the dollar will decline slightly during 1962. due to the decrease in the pro- ductivity of labor. The electron- ics industry will temporaril y suffe r in 1962 if atomic warfare is out- lawed. But otherwise the electron- ics industry will increase for some y*ars to come and hold up the dollar value. Watch polymer chemicals and \ epoxy cements. 25. There will be enough money for mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration in 1962. Plenty of money will be available for mortgages guaran- teed by the Veterans Administra- t.on , although this supp ly varies with different sections of the country. Interest rates on conven- tional loans not having any gov- ernment guarantees will be a lit- tle higher. Real estate people will worry about the public ' s desire to build , rather than about their obtaining mortgage money. 26. The kilowatt hours of elec- tricity produced in 1962 will ex- ceed the total of any previous year. This is favorable to utility preferreds. 27. Steel production in 1962 will exceed this year ' s 100 , 000 , 000 tons, but the increase will come from producing steel in colors. , , ,23- Cement production will be about the same in 1962 as in 1961 , out the industry s capacity to pro- auce is increasing too rap idly in view of the demand. The cement manufacturers must give more attention to colors. 29. Expendi tures ' for plant and equipment in 1962 will increase , supp lemented by large appropria- tion for repain ting lactones and offices in many colors. 30. Newsprint production depends upon the number of newspapers and the amount of advertising sold. I forecast a decline in the amount of newsprint sold during 1962 , but advertising recei pts may in- crease through the better use of colors . This may result in the increased use of coated paper to better take color printing — with a 50 per cent increase in adver- tising* rates. 31. Furniture manufacturers are marking up prices so that young coup les will buy furniture in the raw and paint same themselves. 32. There will be some increases in color TV sales in 1962. In fact , I think the present TV market is far from being saturated. 33. First-class postage rates will not be increased during 1962. Hence, more money will be spent on di- rect mail selling. This should help job printers in 1962 , as their pres- ent margin of profit is very small. Billboard advertising will increase during 1962 , due to a new kind of paint. 34. Lumber will do well to hold its own in 1962 and much of it will be sold colored. Wall-to-wall carpeting will become even more popular , reducing the price of the best hardwood floors. 35. Fewer \ scatter rugs \ will be sold in 1962. Rug dealers must go to brighter colors , even for \ orientals \ . 36. One of the greatest develop- ments during 1962 will be the in- creased use of colors in homes , c ffices , store s , and factories. This should inciease both the demand for and the price of good paint. 37. Exports will probabl y in- ci ease during 1962 , but the sur- plu s of trade in favor of the United States is constantly de- creasing. 38. President Kennedy is en- couraged by the recent elections in New York , \ New Jersey and Texas. The Democratic trend Avill con- tinue during 1 962 , notwithstanding- former President Eisenhower ' s campaign speeches. 39. President Kennedy will be more favorable to \big business \ in 1962 only when he is able to use big business to increase employ- ment. Profit margins will not im- prove during 1962 , although most industries will do better in terms of gross and volume. 40. Bond prices will not change much during 1962 , except in the cise of \ non-taxables \ . European 'tivestors are buying American stocks and bonds feeling- that their money is safer in United States industries and real estate. Even the first mortgage bonds of trans- continental railroads are being bought by Europeans. The manu- facturers of West Germany are making huge profits throug h the use of new machinery and low wages. Th°y are sending their money to the United States to be invested. They seem to prefer sub- urb an real estate , shopping cen- ters , and electric utilities. I hope they are not buying into too many \fly-by-night ' new electronic com- panies. 41. Buying* of Mutual Funds will continue to exceed selling in 1962 . Considering that brokeis make much more profit by selling Mutual Funds than by selling shaies of individual stocks — and consider ng the thousands of sales- men selling Mutual Funds — this should help stock prices during 1962. Remember that the Mutual Funds operatoi s must go to the New York Stock Exchange to pur- chase stock to support these Mutual Funds which salesmen are selling in the field. 42. The so-called \ service in- dustries \ — including education , beauty parlors , travel , entertain- ment , and government positions — should prosper in 1962. 43. Among the fastest grow- ing industries in 1962 will be the plastics and glass industries. These materials will gradually take the place of wood , stone , cement , and even some metals , — except as these are colored. Plas- tics and glass will become more important building materials and perhaps be used much more ior automobiles. 44. Some unexpected event or discovery wll cause the Dow- Jones Induscral Average to sell much hgher durng the next few years. As an illustration of what one of these unexpected events will be , I mention the polymer devel opment in chemistrv , includ- ing \DNA\ and \RNA \ which may provide t ie source of life and extend it — yes , perhaps restore it , in special cases. 45. I am bullish on Canada for safe investments during 1962. Canada has a small population of onl y about 18 , 000 , 000 , but it is rich in natural resources and has a sound , progressive government. 1 do not expect a nuclear war to be started by Russia; but if it comes , Canada will be a good place to live and to have your money invested. 46. South and Central America also have great natural resour- ces; but most of their countries are ruled by shelfish dictators. I believe most of our southern neighbors will suffer from serious inflation during 1962 and becom 0 a great problem for the United States. 47. Although the countries of Europe could be the greatest .sufferers in case of World War III , the people I meet in Europe fail to realize this. I forecast that they will look at the situation more realisticallv during- 1 962. 48. West Germany is very pros- perous; East Germany is in ter- rible condition. Much unemp loy- ment exists in Italy, France , and even Great Britain. I advise against investing money m Europe during* 1962. 49. I am uncertain how to ad- vise about Africa. But it is very rich in natural resources — includ- ing gold , diamonds , and almost every meta l — as well as having the greatest undeveloped water- power in the world. Barclays Bank I am personally acquainted with and recommend. Both Barclays and the Standard Bank are owned in England and have a great many branches; the latter has over 850 branch offices in Africa. Readers who are interested in keeping in touch with Africa may secure free ol charge the Standard Bank Monthly Review b y writing the Standard Bank of ' South Africa , 10 Clement Lane, London , EC 4. The banking- of Northern Africa is controlled by the French. I would advise against putting money into Northern Africa dur- ing 1962. 50. The final result of 1962 — whether it will make us a s trong- er of a softer nation — spiritually, physically, and mentally — de- pends upon our parents , teachei*s , pieacher- > , and newspaper pub- lishers. These , and not Russia, hold the future of the United States in their hands. For your best source of infor- mation locally, read The Advance each week. —Adv.

Ottemiller , editor of Arch- on Books , has announced that the first cop ies of a new book by Jack J. Delaney, Center- each school librarian , are on the market. \The School Librarian \ is the titl e of this 200 page text- book. It tells how school li- brarians may work with school administrators , teachers and students so that the library may be a more effective teach- ing instrument. The text , four years in the making, employes dozens of case histories and makes use of quotations from most of the leaders in the profession of school librarianship. It has already been favorabl y re- viewed by Professor John Ho- henberg of Columbia Univer- sitv, one of the jud ges of the Pulitzer Prize , and others. Librarian in Creach Has Text Published PORT JEFFERSON — Harold F. Davis , 78 , Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent during 1931-1941 , died Sunday at his home at Avon Park , Fla. Born September 8. 1885, in Coram , he! had been a farmer in that com- [ munit y before assuming office as ' highway superintendent . He was a member of the Port Jefferson Lodge No. 60 , F. and A. M., the Middle Island Presby- terian Churc h and the Middle Is- land Cemetery Association , which he served as an officer. Surviving are his wife , Mrs. Florence Hinckley Davis , former- ly of Patehogue ; a daug hter , Mrs. Helen Dickson of Norwich , N. Y - ., and a son , Judson Davis of Coram. Also surviving are five grandchil- dren. Funeral services were held yes- terday afternoon at Middle Is- land Presbyterian Church , the Rev. Edwin Townsend officiating.

Masonic Masters-Elect To Be Installed Saturday Questions and Answers Q. Which is the correct spelling of the word - 'jailer \ or \Jailor \? A. It is spelled in both ways although the first form \jailer \ is the moiv common. Q. Will a silver knife or fork placed in a glass bottle pi*event its breaking when a hot liquid is poured in the vessel ? A. Tests have shown that the knife has no effect. Q. What is the origin of the stories of my thology ? A. The very name \ mythology \ indicates that the origin of the stories which make up these ac- counts of the Greek gods and god- desses is unknown. Mythology is a collection of folk lore and some- times of the religious beliefs of a people which has been added to as time passed and has finally reached a more or less stable form. Q. What is the \Venus of Milo \? Can you tell me some- thing about it? A. It is the most celebrated and beautiful surviving statue of the Greek goddess Aphrodite , and per- haps the most priceless treasure of the Louvre of Paris. It is named from the Isle of Melos in the Aegean Sea , where it was found by accident in 1820. Purchased b y the Marquis de Riviere , French ymba^sador to Constantinople and presented to Louis XVIII. it was given by the latter to tbe Louvre . It has suffered much from time and rough treatment. Both arms are gone. The body, nude to the waist , and the draperies below are much battered. So chaste and noble is the ideal and so wonder- ful the t echnical execution. that the effect is incomparable to anything else in art. The position of the arms of the goddess and the date of the origin of the sta- tue are matters of dispute. It be- longs to the Hellenistic period , in the last half of the second or in the first century B. C It is an adaptation of the Aphrodite by Scopas and the Melian Tyche , but under direct inspiration of the Phidian epoch.
