The Federal Reserve will con- 1 .nue .during 1950 the same general 5<olicy which it followed in 1949. 37 The importance of diversifica- 1 on wi',1 be given more attention in 1950 and wise investors will watch Iheir bond maturities to see that they are eithe- short or systemafi- f .ally staggered Real Estate 38 The city real state outlook is *jnv'ertain. It should continue to hold firm throughout 1950 due to less e. callable rental space caused by julling down old structures to save taxes and to provide parking spaces. Owing to high costs and the fear of "World War III,, there will be little inclination to build new city prop- trty. On the other hand, the con- t.nual movement out of our large » '*ie.'—in the interest of deeentrali- : ution—may cau-’e prices to soften.. 39. There will continue to.be a fair toemand during 1950 for suburban j<'ul estate with a shading of prices fur large places; but the residential *onstruction boom should continue ■well into 1950 40 The demand for large commer- * jal farm acreage will be less during 1<950: Rut small sustenance farms, * specially those located close to es tablished communities, will hold uo ; nd. perhaps, increase in prices. 41. There will be some decrease t aring 1950 in industrial and private t uilding. The cost of such building v ill decline a little and the quality * • workmanship will improve. There t- oould be an increase during 1950 in * ubiicly financed building. 42 There will not be much change :n business rentais during 1950 but re-idential rents Will average higher :i 1950 Only as property owners are f. ranted h.gher rental^ will there be more houses built for rental pur poses. 43. Mortgage interest rates during 3 950 will continue about the same as curing 1949 44 The growth in industrial pen- .«-)Ons shou’d help real estate sales in Florida. California,. New Mexico and Arizona. General Business 45. Many business concerns find 1 eir operations sliding down toward me break-even po.n-t There will not be as much margin between costs' ; nri selling prices during 1950 as during 1949 Unemployment will gradually .increase due to the instal lation of labor saving machinery and other causes. 46.

Blue Hose Have Time To Get Back in Shape The Presbyterian Blue Hose will have plenty of time to get in shape for their tilts . following the Christ mas holidays. The boys will return to school on January 2 and don’t have an encounter on tap until Jan- j uary 13. The boys who hail from Indiana are to be sympathized with, since they don’t get to go home but once a year (Christmas) and then they have to rush back to get rid of the employment during 1950, but this is not a healthy development. 47. Excluding government owned commodities, the physical stock piles of manufacturers will remain about the same during 1950 as during 1949. Politics 48 1950 will be an election year. The Republican party will remain in the doghouse. The Administration will continue to talk radically againsl Wall Street and the so-called “selfish interests," but at heart the Adminis tration will be fairly consarvative. ; Its bark will be far worse than its bite. 49. The Administration will con tinue to be sympathetic to organized labor unless someone like John L Lewis goes too far. In th^t event, such a man will be made the whip ping boy, but with the consent of other pprominent labor leaders. 50. The congressional elections of 1950 will not change the political status of congress to any great ex tent. weigh? they took on during the fes tive days. ... Christmas Presents In Sports All over the* loqal scene sports par ticipants have been receiving gifts. •• Thornwell, of course, was faced by the wonderful fact that they were to receive the nicest gym in Clin ton. The youngsters heard the an nouncement that they would have a team representing them in each ol the three major sports here in ^he South: football, baseball, and a girls and boys basketball team. Curtis Freeman and Eugene Sim mons, members of the big Red Devil football squad of 1949, were asked to play in the newly founded Horse Bowl in Camden. This Horse Bowl serves the purpose of bringing to gether the finest high school football material in the state. Freeman was the outstanding long distance runner on the strong grid squad of Clinton high school and Simmons was the “big gun" on de fense among the ground hogs of the line. The announcement that these two boys would get to play in the bowl was made this past Sunday. Freeman and Simmons Honored By Joe McDaniel At the outset of the past grid sea son Joe McDaniel announced that he would give a trophy to the best defensive ball players and also the same to the most valuable gladiator. The players and members of the team were alloyed to select these players and the proceedings were carried out by secret ballot. In chapel, during the last week of school before the holidays, Freeman was presented the trophy for the most valuable player and Simmons took the honors for the best defen sive player. In my worthless opinion, all some one needs to do now is to give a trophy to the player displaying the best sportsmanship during the route of the season. After all, it isn’t whether you win or not, it’s how you play the game that counts. High School Drops Two Cage Tilts Clinton high school was downed by Greenwood in two games last week as they wound up their cage tilts before the holidays. The Clinton boys were humiliated by a 52 to 19 score from a set of tall, lanky boys who appeared to be from the foothills of North Carolina. The height wasn’t the only thing that beat the Red Devils, since the Green wood boys were able to drop in shots from anywhere on the court—well, almost anywhere. The Red Devils led the Greenies only once and that was whep Clin ton’s Curly Braswell fired in the firs’, two points of the &ame, and from this point on the Greenwood boys simply gave the spectators a display of fine shooting and ball handling. | Truman Owens was the high scorer for the Clinton cage squad as he racked up 11 of the Devils’ 19 tallies. The Clinton girls didn’t fare quite so badly as the boys, since the Greenwood girls (who were the class AA champions of the state last year) were able to slice the local lasses ‘ with a small 28 to 21 count. Tot Anderson, who swished the net for Clinton’s first seven points of the game, remained high scorer with 11 points. Tot fired the ball in from all angles of the court and proved the fact that she had a per fect eye on the basket. She will be a girl to watch on the basketball courts in Clinton since she is only a sophomore at Clinton high school and has two more years of basket- 1 ball left on her schedule. She also! played last year. Mona Blakely held the Greenwood scofe down with some fine guarding. This is Mong’s last year at Clinton high schoor and she seems to be making the most of it since she has turned out to be the "best guard on the Red Devil roster. Clinton Training Future Stars Early The city of Clinton seems to be 'getting in step with the popular trend of "start ’em young and keep ’em a long time.” , All this new brain work about having a football, baseball, and gik-ls-' and boys basketball teams is the idea of Claude Crocker, who has already done wonders fbr the kids of Clinton with the midget baseball and football teams. Crocked also en gineered the idea of the Tom Thumb Bowl which appears to be h£re to stay. Several out of town guests were present at the playing of the bowl game and have carried the idea back to tjieir home towns with them.
