BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL
OUTLOOK GIVEN FOR 1950

in the new Housing Authority obli
gations to be issued during 1950.
36. 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. Military preparedness will can

Bv DONNY WILDER
With a stomach full of turkey and
a glass full of Bromo-Seltzer, I will
try to write this column, although
I'm still suffering from the after-
math of a glorious Christmas.
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.

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.
