by these families and others like them
around the world is the strong desire to
always improve and upgrade the breed
Hence, showing dogs frequently leads to
breeding dogs
But the ultimate physical reward that
can come to these dog owners is having
their dog become a champion
The Ixrwries. who are highly involved
in showing and breeding several dif-
ferent types of dogs, have had five of
their dogs become AKC champions
"We have a champion in every breed
we own ” says Michael Lowne These
breeds are Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Whip-
pets. Ixmghaired Dachshunds, and Black
and Tan Coonhounds
The l,owrics are also the only family in
Texas to own a champion Black and Tan
Coonhound
Dogs have become more than just a
hobby to the Lowries, but they are clear
ly not into it for the money, because, for
them, it is not a profit making business

sputtered as the year worked to its terminus
1981 -- A Period of Regrouping
The staff of Babson s Reports now foresees an extension of the logy economic
climate during much of 1981 s first half The incoming Reagan Administration
faces the monumental task of lowering inflation and interest rates We doubt
that sufficiently significant and rapid inroads can be made on these problems to
boost the economy into a swift upthrust early in the year Indeed, vitality and
forward momentum will be slow in developing Hence, economic activity will
do well to edge upward during the winter and early spring weeks Thereafter,
however, the business tempo will quicken and. the second half of 1981 could en-
joy enough of an uplift to enable the year as a whole to record a moderate
amount of progress In effect, therefore. 1981 should be viewed as a regrouping
period for the U.S. economy, to the groundwork for a more vibrant 1982
Economy’s Resilience A Sustaining Force
Although the staff of Babson's Reports does not anticipate a sturdy year-long
upsurge in economic activity, 1981 could turn out to be more fruitful than cur-
rent conditions would seem to support But there are less hopeful opinions Such
views reflect fear that the economy will lapse back to the 1980 low point of
economic activity, and the more pessimistic element go a step further in projec-
ting a dip of even deeper penetration If either viewpoint should be borne out,
the result would be a "double dip" 1980 81 recession, or something tantamount
to a "W " type reversal pattern
The Babson forecast, on the other hand, envisions a generally flat trend of
economic activity - but with a modest upward bias -- for early 1981. On this
thesis, a "double dip" recession pattern would not materialize This scenario is
predicated on the basic buoyancy of the U S. economy, which Babson's views
as capable of providing more bolstering influences than is generally recogniz-

By Babson's Reports Inc . Wellesley Hills, Mnss.. December 24. 1980.
A year ago, our forecast for 1980 predicted thi. he American economy would
experience a recession, the main thrust of which ^ould be felt early in the year
Technically speaking, however, the generic y accepted definition of an
economic recession was not fulfilled That is. the "real'' gross national product
<the GNP stripped of inflations did not experience two consecutive calendar
quarters of negative readings However, the massive second quarter 1980
slump 'down nearly 10%> suffered by the gross national product in terms of
1972 dollars, and minuscule growth rates of the year's remaining quarterly
spans, surely must be regarded as ample indication that a recession did indeed
occur
While the severity of the economic contraction during the spring weeks of 1980
exceeded the expectations of most economists, the let-down's brevity
underscored the intrinsic resilience of the nation's economy Had it not been for
the drastic credit curbs which the Carter Administration and the Federal
Reserve employed in the bold bid to curb burgeoning inflationary forces, the
economy might not have been subjected to such a pronounced buffeting in the
spring and early summer of 1980 But even if the reins had not been pulled back
so radically, it is doubtful that a business slowdown could have been averted
completely
After all. the growth of the nation's money supply remained consistently
higher than the targets that had lieen projected by the monetary authorities,
and the federal government was unable to cope with the ever-increasing budget
deficit for fiscal 1980 which ended September 30. Hence, there was an ex-
ceedingly fertile breeding ground for inflation, and the brief, sharp downturn in
short term interest rates was supplanted by another spell of oppressively high
inflation and interest rates in the second half of 1980 As these adverse factors
resurfaced, the promising pickups in residential building and industrial output
cd For one thing, service-oriented activities have been growing in importance
over the years. Many facets of this diverse segment of the economy are leu
responsive to cyclical downswings in the industrial and commercial sectors,
hence tend to impart support to the overall economy
The automotive and agricultural equipment industries are verging on
cyclical advances which could come into play once oppressively high interest
rates decline Improvement in these sectors will give an uplift to the operations
of parts suppliers, including the steel and rubber industries which have ex-
perienced tough sledding (or quite some time. Moreover, the feverish pace of
exploration and development work in the oil and gas industries and the rapid
growth in computer-related fields mean added vital support for the economy
And. as 1981 progresses, a new uptrend (more durable than the aborted 1980 ef-
fort > is likely to take hold in residential building.
Benefits from The Change In National Leadership
Allowing for the settling-in proceaa, Baboon's expectations is that the incom-
ing Reagan Administration will make some headway In the fight against infla-
tion and in nudging interest rates back down to leu stifling levels. In addition,
efforts to stimulate economic revitalization, via business Incentivu and a leu
ambivalent attitude toward private enterprise, should lead to a healthier state
of business confidence But the programs and legislative proposals of the new
Administration cannot become reality without the cooperation of Congress The
Babson view is that a better working relationship will prevail between Capitol
Hill and the White House, in contrast to the climate which shadowed much of
the past four years.
Bear in mind that even though the GOP barely wrested control of the Senate,
members of Congress - particularly those facing reelections two years hence

Whether the dog is a Sheltie. Huskie. or
hound, the exciting experience of show-
ing dogs can produce a great deal of
satisfaction and pride
Four Ingleside families are active in
show ing their own dogs All four families
are acquainted, and they share a com-
mon lx>nd that stems from mutual
understanding and interests
Sarah and Michael Lowrie. who live on
Morgan Lane, have been showing dogs
since 1969 Candy and Jack Winston, who
hve next to the l-owries and manage the
Can Tina Kennels, have been involved in
dog shows for the last four years
Peggv and Allen Gilchrist have been
showing Shetland Sheepdogs, or Shelties
as thev are commonly called, for eight
years Joyce and Walt Loving, also in-
terested in Shelties. have more recently
entered the show dog arena
Perhaps the most striking bond shared
Families Excel at Showing Dogs
. Produce Champion Entries ■
Sarah is actually the one who is in the
ring with the dogs, but Michael plays an
equally active supporting role.
According to Sarah, there are many
tricks involved in showing dogs for con-
firmation Naturally, the dog must be
perfectly groomed before entering the
ring.
The dog's handler must learn to
display the dog's attributes to the best
advantage, and must also play down a
dog's faults
Sarah doesn't mind admitting that her
first show was a disaster "I was green
as a gourd." she says, adding that her
dog even bit the judge.
But the Lowries have come far since
that first show over ten years ago They
have earned so many ribbons that they
can't all be displayed
Trophies cover the table tops Dozens
of photographs, showing winning entries,
decorate the walls
