Burnham Keeps Car Sticker Price at $3 BURNHAM Village trustees of" Burnham decided Wednesday night to keep the price of auto license stickers at three dollars but considered raising the price of licenses for trucks larger than one and a half tons. Action on the possible truck in-' crease was deferred until a new ordinance setting business license fees is introduced. The ordinance is now being prepared by Village Atty. Robert A. Biederman.

Village Trustee Daniel Marlowe urged a revision in the form of monthly reports to the village board by the police department. After some discussion the other trustees approved Marlowe's sug gestion that arrests for traffic violations be listed in the report along with other calls and arrests now recorded. 40 Million Trees For Yule Cheer! WASHINGTON (AP)-About 40 million Christmas trees will brighten the American holiday season this year, forestry experts 'predicted today. 1. AfTmmiltitr.

Ffeirt'lt-f mont said the estimate includes imports of about 12 million trees from Canada. No estimates were given on re tail prices for the trees. But stump prices," or the amounts paid the growers, reportedly vary from 25 cents for some wild trees to $2.50 or more for plantation-grown trees. Waler Bond Meeting fiiBiirnliain BURNHAM Plans for an ex. tensive water distribution improvement program will be explained to Burnham voters today at a public meeting in Urhanik Hall, 3f4 Torrence Calumet City, at 7.30 p.m.

The proposition will be submitted to voters Saturday. If voter approval Is secured, up to $.125,000 in bonds may be issued to finance construction of a water tower with a capacity of one million gallons, a water main beneath the Little Calumet River and other Improvements that will give the village a single water distribution system. Village officials say the program would increase water pressure in many parts of the village, would reduce the danger of water shortages In hot weather, and would eventually lower the prices paid by consumers. FREE BABY sitting service and transportation to the polling place will be available to voters Saturday. The services are being sponsored by the village officials and can be obtained by telephoning the Burnham fire station at TO-rence 2 9150 or TO rence 2-5893.

Voting will take place at the village hall, 13925 Entre Ave. from 8 a.m. lo 6 p.m. All persons qualified lo vote in regular elections in Burnham are also qualified to vote in the referendum. The water works program was developed by Village President Arthur Blackburn, Village Atty.

Robert A. Biederman and the village trustees after Calumet City raised its water rates early this year. At present Burnham purchases water for the area west of the Little Calumet River from Calumet City and for the area east of the river from Chicago. No mains run under the river and therefore there are two separate water systems in the village. Burnham pays Chicago 16 cents a thousand gallons and pays Calumet City 44 cents per thousand.

Water users on the east side of the river pay the village 32 cents a thousand and those on the west side pay 44 cents. UNDER THE present arrangement residents on the east side bear part of the cost of supplying the west side because the "retail" price on the west side does not include a markup for the cost of distribution and maintenance of the system, according to Biederman. At the meeting tonight details of the proposal will be explained by Blackburn, Biederman, and spokesmen for Raymond W. Robinson Associates, village engineering consultant, and Benjamin Lang, bonding firm in charge of the financial work connected with the bond issue. If the bond issue is approved the reservoir will be constructed on 138th street at the Little Calu met River and a water main will be constructed under the river to join it to existing pipes on the west side of the river.

Biederman estimated the main under the river will cost $87,652, the reservoir $76,000, pump house $78,500, land acquisition $10,000, and engineering $17,000. A SUM of $29,000 would be needed for legal, financial and miscellaneous costs and $26,247 would be set aside as a contin gency fund. Biederman said the figures are maximum estimates and the cost might be considerably less. Bonds would be issued only for the amount actually expended al a probable interest rate of per cent, though the referendum would authorize a maximum interest rate of 5V per cent. The bonds would be retired by a tax rate of about 32 cents for each thousand dollars of assessed property valuation if no residential or industrial growth takes place in the village within the next few years, according to the village attorney.

He predicted new industry will reduce the rate. APPROXIMATELY 60 per cent of the cost would be borne by three railroads which own more than half of Bumham's eight million dollar property valuation, he said. Tax bonds were issued because buyers of revenue bonds at reasonable interest rates could not be found. However, prospective purchas ers of the general obligation tax bonds have said they may be willing in the future to transfer the bonds to a water bill revenue basis at some future date. This would eliminate the tax rate and make it possible to retire the bonds out of water bill pay ments.

BEHIND THE carnival atmos phere is the seriousness of finding how best and most economically to feed the nation's 160 million people. Representatives of 37 land grant colleges gather along with breed promotion groups to exchange rt- suits of a year's research and plan new projects. One example is an ultrasonic device in use for the first time at the International this year to judge waste fat in animals before they are slaughtered.

DR. JAMES Stouffcr of the Cor nell University animal husbandry department, who developed the high frequency sound wave ma chine, said the device provides a quantitative index of meat in pro portion to fat. Besides assisting stockmen all year around, the device is expected to help eliminate past exposi tion conflicts that arose when the animal judged best on the hoof ranked well down the list of usable meat producers after slaughter.

"EARLY THIS year I bought Hupp Corp. at 11 when it was active and have watched it drop sharply in price to 7, with little activity. What is the' reason for the change? Should I hold the T. There are two reasons for the change. One is the wide shift in market climate this year.

Investors have gone from speculative enthusiasm to' a feeling of considerable caution. The other is a sharp decline in Hupp's earnings.

CHICAGO (UPD The International Live Stock Exposition, center of the farm animal world with a fortune in prizes and prestige, opened its 61st year today at the Intrenational Amphitheater. Chief spectacle of opening day Here are today's facts on the International Live Stock Exposition and Horse Show: WIIEtE International Amphitheatre, Union Stock Yards, Halsted and 42nd. EVENTS at 8 a.m., the Junior Steer Show; at 1 p.m., the Junior Barrow Show; at 1:30 p.m., the Wool Show. RODEO AND HORSE SHOW at 6:30 p.m. In the main arena.

judging in the crowded, colorful stockyards arena was to be selec tion of the Juinor show champion steer. Junior exhibitors, most of them 4-H members, ranged down to 10 years old. JUDGING at the International is the peak of a year's loving care and training by teen-age owners. The junior winner traditionally is a sentimental favorite for honors Monday wlien he or she meets veteran stockmen in open competition. The odds are not based entirely on sentiment.

For the past three years, the junior champion steer has gone on to recerve tne coveiea nma quarters slap and exposition grand champion steer blue ribbon that can mean as much as $30,000 for the animal at auction later in the week. IN 1957, TV-radio star and part-time rancher Arthur Godfrey paid $30 a pound, or a total $30,050, for grand champion Hereford Honeymoon slrwn by an 18-year- old girl, now Mrs. Sue Secondino, of West Terre Haute, Ind. More than 10,000 animals carry their owners hopes into junior and open competition for a record estimated $160,000. More important prize money for many exhibitors are the rib bons and trophies that boost a farm's stock at market time.

Veteran show officials estimate value of the 10,138 animals from 37 states and Canada at $5 million. Judging is in the hands of 60 experts from agricultural schools and research centers across the nation. CATTLE, HOGS, sheep and horses in the snow represent 33 different breeds. The International Dairy Show, merged with the Live Stock Exposition, offers With purebred beef and dairy cattle. The show, oldest and largest of its kind in the world, annually at tracts some 400,000 farm and city folk to the stock yards and Chi cago's South Side, where row after row of converging rail lines once led to the city's being named the "Hog Butcher of the World." Most of the action takes place in the main arena where the Re publican party last summer entered Vice President Richard M.

Nixon in another kind of competitionand in two smaller judging rings amid four square blocks of stalls bchmd the giant arena. TONS OF feed supply the animals for a week and modern regulators control temperature designed for animal, not human, comfort. Many exhibitors, particularly the youngsters, bed down with their cherished entries to maintain almost 24-hour watch. On the other side of the arena, the nation's farm equipment manufacturers trot out their latest and best in mechanized agriculture. SUCCESSFUL INVESTING Diversification Called Sound Old Principle By ROGER E.

SPEAR "I am the owner of 1,200 shares of Tampax, which cost me very little some 20 years ago but today represents a small fortune. Should I switch into other M. I wish you had told me what proportion this represents of your total capital. I am going to assume that it represents a very substantial part and perhaps is your only invest ment. On this basis, I am going to suggest that you sell the major part of his holding, re SPEAR taining no more than 20 per cent, or 240 shares.

My reason for advising this course of action does not in any way reflect on Tampax, which has been and still looks to be a very satisfactory investment. It rests rather on one of the oldest and soundest investment principles: diversification. All investments, except government bonds, involve some risk. The only way to protect yourself against serious damage from the failure of any one situation is to spread your risk. jL.
