Last year’s
A recap of events in this,
community during 1963, as re-
corded in The Sealy News re-
veals that many people told the
story of the past year in this
area.
James Eugene Gajewski was
the first 1963 baby bom in the
Sealy Hospital, arriving Janu-
ary 12. Austin County got its
first food and first aid supplies
for civil defense, 1190 lbs. val-
ued at $372, from the federal
government, and Mr. and Mrs.
L. J. Zapalac, Jr. started work
on their Oak Terrace Apart-
ments, in January. Also plans
were announced for the new
building of Trinity Lutheran
Church, and a low of 15 degrees
was recorded by Mr. and Mrs.
Otto Beckman, all in January.
Jackie Goebel and Felton
Bollinger were selected for Blue-
Law enforcement officers in Sealy cemetery.

cast that interest rates will continue
at least as high as today, and will r
possibly rise through 1964 in order
to keep gold here in this country and
uphold the value of the dollar.
16. DEVALUATION OF GOLD. I
forecast that there will be no deval-
uation of gold during 1964. I am
personally acquainted with condi-
tions in Africa, and will say that
those who wish to speculate in gold
mines should consider American-
South African Investment Co. Ltd.
Readers should remember, how-
ever. that gold-mining stocks will go
down as well as up, in accordance
with many different conditions.
17. PROFITS. I forecast that cor-
porate profits will continue to rise
in 1964. though possibly at a some-
what slower pace than recently.

ity prices are dependent on two fac-

included the naming of Brenda

20. SUGAR. Sugar prices, how-
ever, will hold in a generally high
range all through 1964.
21. BUILDING — SUBURBIA. I
forecast that new building will con-
tinue around present levels through
1964, with additional growth in
"suburbia”. This applies to single
homes and to apartment houses,
which could easily be overbuilt as
the hotels and motels have been.
22. PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION.
Otherwise, strength in building will
occur mainly in the public sector—
especially roadbuilding.
23. REAL ESTATE. I predict that
farms on the “right side" of cities
will constantly increase in value dur-
ing 1964. I say “right side” because •
every city seems to have some one
best direction in which to grow.
This usually is toward the higher
land and often to the west; but this
is something subdivision developers
must watch very cloeely.
24. RURAL AREAS As I have
said before, the way to buy real es-
tate profitably is to drive out the
main road away from the city in.
which you live, on the "right” side.
Every few miles, stop and inquire
the price of land; so long as it is
quoted by the foot, get beck in your

better or for worse, the voters have
been taught to believe they can and
should get something for nothing,
and only a severe depression could
ultimately change this belief. 1,
however, look for no depression in
1964.
«. AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK.
Although crops, prices, and farm in-
come may be basically dependent on
the weather, much of the world is
short of food. Russia’s and China's
heavy purchases of grains will do
more to bolster U. S. farm income
than will government-supported
prices in 1964
9. DOW-JONES INDUSTRIALS.
I forecast that the hock market as
measured by the Dow-Jones Aver-
age will make a new high in 1964,
but may sell lower after the elec-
tions. However, readers must re-
member that the Dow-Jones Indus-
trial list, which everyone seems to
think represents the market, may be
very deceptive.
10. SPECULATIVE STOCKS. Of
the approximately 1550 stocks list-
ed on the New York Stock Ex-
change, a majority have been going
down while the Dow-Jones list of
30 which everyone watches have
been going up This is due to the
purchase of Dow-Jones issues today
largely by trustees, pension funds,
mutual companies, and others that
prefer fairly conservative and divi-
dend-paying companies. I forecast
that stocks not in the Dow-Jones
ciation on March 12; Larry
Alexander showed the grand i
champion calf at the Katy FFA
Fat Stock Show; Dr. Ford's
team won the Sealy Women’s
Bowling tournament, Chester-
line Meloneck and Alice Schulke
won doubles, Margaret Fowler,
singles, Sadie Stein, dty champ,
and Ruth Paben, all events han-
dicap.

SEALY, Austin County, TEXAS @ Thursday, January 2; 1964
above forecast, and having learned
that only buying can send stocks up.
I predict that 1964 may prove to be
a good year to switch from some of
the overcrowded Dow-Jones stocks
into other issues that are now over-
looked
12. GOVERNMENT BONDS. The
only government bonds that interest
me are the long-term ones which
may now be purchased at a discount
to use in payment at par for death
taxes. I forecast that more govern-
ments will be issued during 1964 and
that their prices may gradually sag
as money becomes tighter.
13. CORPORATION BONDS.
Those buying corporate bonds should
either stick to issues of under five
years’ maturity or keep their money
in the savings bank. I predict that
long-term corporation bonds will
drop in price in 1964 as interest
rates rise
14. TAX-EXEMPT BONDS. Like-
wise. I predict that long-term tax-
exempt bonds will decline next year.
They are even more overpriced than
corporation bonds, because of heavy
bank buying during the past two
years. I do not look for this to Im*
repeated in 1964. Therefore, I would
certainly confine buying of. tax-ex -
empts to short maturities; and I
would avoid revenue bonds.
15. INTEREST RATES. 1 fore-
I am still emotionally upset as I
make this forecast after the brutal
assassination of President Kennedy.
I. however, will try to submerge my
emotions and base this forecast of
1964 on the facts as I interpret them.
1 OUR NEW PRESIDENT I
state emphatically that President
Johnson may accomplish far more
constructively before November 1964
than our last President would have
been able to do. President Johnson
understands better how to handle
Congress, and has the confidence of
businessmen Therefore, I am re-
assured as to the first ten months
of 1964.
2. ELECTION IN NOVEMBER
At the Republican Convention in the
summer of 1964. there will be a con-
flict between Goldwater and Rocke-
feller, and perhaps others. For this
reason, Mr. Nixon may slip in and
get the Republican nomination.
Certainly President Johnson will se-
cure the nomination of the Demo-
cratic Party; he is a farsighted man.
and knows politics. Therefore, with
the Republicans nominating any one
oft he three leading names mention -
ed above, I now forecast that Pres-
ident Johnson will be elected Pres-
ident of the United States in Nov-
ember 1964 All of this gives me
more assurance that 1964 should be
a good year.
3 TAX CUT A tax cut will be
enacted sometime during the com-
ing session of Congress, and it will

worthwhile project. This gener- -n layior hospital
surely be made retroactive to Janu-
ary 1, 1964 The tax cut should help
consumer buying; it may even in-
crease general business.
4 CIVIL RIGHTS. Some sort of
a civil-rights bill will be passed by
Congress during 1964. The Admin-
istration wants to please the South
and hold its Democratic votes there,
but the civil-rights bill now before
Congress is not satisfactory to the
white people of the North. There-
fore, I forecast that whatever civil-
rights bill is passed before the elec-
tion of 1964 will be considerably
watered down.
5 NEGRO PEOPLE. The Negro-
es will continue to make progress
and get more, but I predict that the
gains will have to come largely
through changing attitudes of the
people. Otherwise, the situation
will be much like the prohibition
problem which the good people of
the nation thought could be solved
by legislation. Such reforms take
place only as the minds and hearts
of the people are changed for the
better.
6 GOVERNMENT SPENDING.
Of course, in the long run, the sur-
vival of a nation should depend up-
on its spending less than it takes in
Nowadays, however, it is unfashion-
able — for consumers or govern-
ment — to have balanced budgets
Therefore, I predict that 1964 will
see a bigger deficit than this year's.
