Well, I just needed two
more week-ends and I
would have been ready for
Christmas. But is is too
late to think about it now.
Mother and my tv$£0
aunts from C a 1 i f o rnia
were here and we enjoy-
ed their visit so much.
My aunts had come back
this way for my grand-
mother’s funeral and
stayed over.
As you are putting
away your own decora-
tions, stop ‘for a minute
and think about how much
pleasure the decorations
which the Jaycees had
downtown added to this
Christmas season. They
have bigger plans for next
year but need your help.
Too, may I suggest that
all club’s budget include
a donation to the Jaycees
Christmas lights find as
their community project
next year!

Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

Give Gifts To
Children's Home
PAMPA- Instead of a
gift exchange, the 116 stu-
dents of St. Matthew’s
Episcopal Day School
gave a food shower for
the Children’s Home in
Panhandle.
The food was given at a
Christmas program on
Tuesday morning before
the school closed for the
Lions Club
General information
about Australia was given
by Miss Sharon Esgate,
foreign exchange student
at Panhandle High School,
in a talk at the noon meet-
ing of the Panhandle Lions
Club Tuesday in the War
Memorial Building.
She covered culture,
economy, education, his-
tory, geography and poli-
tical structure of the
country.
Miss Esgate said she
wanted to become a pub-
lic relations officer.
In discuss ion of the
educational system in
Australia, she said the
standards were higher
than in the United States
and that most high school
students would have about
the same education in her
native country as a col-
lege graduate would here.
Some of the difference
she said she had to get
accustomed to in this
country was driving on the
right side of the road,
eating with the fork in the
right hand and the differ-
ence in spelling ofwords.
In speaking of the farms
in Australia she said the
average farm was 250
acres.
NOTED
Cont. from PAGE 1
on our gold supplies, the
government has been en-
deavoring to promote do-
mestic travels and vaca-
tions. Nevertheless, I
foresee further interest
in foreign vacations. In
one sense, I am happy to
see this. I have done con-
siderable foreign travel-
ing, and I feel that such
activity is definitely ad-
vantageous. Furthermore
I feel that foreign travel
can help Americans to
wake up to the advantages
here at home and make
them more thankful for
the blessings they enjoy.
24. Many readers-es-
pecially those retired and
living, on pensions and
social security-are wor-
ried about the threat of
inflation. I forecast no
radical inflation during
1966..the Administration
is committed to * ’Non-
inflationary progress”.
However, some price in-
creases appear unavoid-
able.
25. I predict that the
greater danger will lie
in credit innation, rather
than in price inflation.
26. With the rise in de-
fense spending and the
cost of legislation for the
Great Society, the federal
budget will suffer a siz-
able deficit. In addition,
states and municipalities
are unable and unwilling
to live within their means.

Consumers will also go
further into debt.
27. Look for new in-
creases in the cost-of-
living index. The govern-
ment may try to head off
substantial price hikes in
key areas, but selective
price rises will occur.
28. Industrial commo-
dity prices should remain
firm to higher, particu-
larly in the first half of
1966. The primarly bul-
wark against a price run-
away in competition,.
which should be basically
more effective than go-
vernment influence.
29. I look for an in-
crease in domestic com-
petition in 1966. This
should become more evi-
dent as the business up-
thrust tapers off. Also,
we must not forget for-
eign competition. With
many nations feeling the
pinch of a dollar short-
age, they will work to re-
medy this by increasing
their sales here.
30. Business in 1966
need fear no major labor
tie-ups. Strikes, how-
ever, may well be num-
erous among the secon-
dary labor units.
31. I look for business
failures to increase, both
in numbers and in dollar
liabilities. This will be
due to keen competition,
excesses of debt and in-
ventory accu mulations,
unwise credit extensions,
and careless manage-
ment.
32. Of greater concern
to me is the steady climb
in nonfarm real estate
fore closures; I expect
a further rise in 1966.
33. Business profits in
1966 will not advance as ’
sharply as in the past two
or three years. The sque-
eze is on in profit mar-
gins; hence I look for a
tapering off in the rise
of corporate profits, al-
though I foresee no dra-
stic slump while activity
holds near peak.
34. Looking at the farm
sector, I see no radical
change from the excellent
1965 year . Barring a crop
failure or severe drought,
farm prices, at worst,
should shade only slightly
lower.
35. Farm equipment
manufacturers should en-
joy good business in 1966
This goes also for fer-
tilizer and pecticide pro-
ducers.
36. The important
building and construction
lines should hold their
own in 1966, but their
dollar volume may be due
largely to price and cost
inflation. The Great So-
ciety program is a plus
factor for construction,,
including urban renewal
and highways.
37. Private home and
apartment building could
show slightly improve-
ment, but the real boom
in residential.building
will not register signi-
ficantly in 1966
38. Hence, I forecast
that real estate conditions
will remain s e 1 e c tive.
Well-located sites for
homes and industrial and
com mercial complexes
will do well, but study of
local conditions is im-
perative.
39. I predict a further
increase in farm land va-
lues in 1966. With costs
still rising, the physical
size of farms must ex-
pand so operators can
benefit from mechaniza-
tion. This places a pre-
mium on well-located
land in the important and
larger agricultural re-
gions.
40. The steady advance
toward fuller automation
To my many friends and customers:
I am very sorry to have caused you any
trouble leaving you without eggs. I had an
accident, was taken to the hospital Monday,
December 13, and operated on the next
morning. I am now confined at St. Ann’s
Home for at least another month. I will have
someone shortly to resume my route and
serve you again.
Thank you,
L. J. Soucy
Panhandle, Carson County, Texas, Thurs., December 30, 1965
should make further pro-
gress in 1966, helping in-
dustry to cope with rising
operating costs and
shorter work weeds.
41. Trees do not grow
to the skies; neither does
the stock market rise un-
endingly. While I fore-
cast that the stock mar-
ket— as measured by the
Dow-Jones Industrials—
can surpass the high mark
of 1965, I anticipate a vo-
latile 1966 market with
a good-sized ropoff a real
possibility sometime
during the year.
To be concluded next week

ployed by a drug store
