Ink Spots It came to our attenllon that the

Hale Center AmerIcan Is now In It's 75th year, the Diamond Anniversary. Thecommunltywas served by a local newspaper prior to 1922 but most of the readers now associated the Hate Cente, Amerlcanasthehometownpaper.

Since the organization of the Ha/eCe""rAmerlcan, the Ranmo family has published the newspaper fifty of those seventy­five years. I would like to thank the community and area for their support of the newspaper as I was growing up and now.

The onty editor and newspaper man during much of the seventy­fiveyearswasTomB. He gave all of himself to providing the best newspaper to the community. I am just an ownerof a newspaper. One thing that the Rambo family has In common Is that we try to publish the best newspaper we can weekly..cfurJng that seventy­five years that weekly total Is over 2,600 editions.

The Hale Cemer AmerlCBnhas applauded you . In your accomplishments and stood

. beside you when your efforts have fallen short. In either case the stories have been factual 'Where rumors end and truth begins: and we have always prided ourselves as 'banner wavers for the community'.

We hope to ccintlnue the proud tradition of the . Ha'e Cent.r Amerlcanthat began seventy-five years ago Into the 21st century.

The Year of Direct Investing (NU)- What was the most sig­

nificant tinancial plllnning trend of 19967

Certainly not domestic equity mutual funds, the majority of which failed to match the performance of the S & P 500 in both 1994 and 1995. The Dow breaking the 6,000 barrier?A Newsweek headline sug­Bests we "Forget the Dow," which "has as much bull as the matket." Continuing growth in 401 (K) plans? Old news.

Accoi'ding to leading analysts and other experts, 1996 may best be remembered as the year of the direct investor, who now has greatly ex­panded opportunities to take direct 'control of stock investments.

Consider these developments: • The number of no-load stocks.

which allow investors to purchase their tint share of stock directly from a company, has more than tripled since the beginning of 1995 to more thanJ 50; analysts predict this figure could top 1,000 by 1998.

• Some of the best companies in the world - including Home Depot, Amoco, Wal-Mart, Lueent Technolo­gies, Ameritecb, and Sears - began offerin~ no-load stocks in 1996.

• DlJ'eCtJnvestor, a nonprofit

laintto

group. estiJnalM:s that 15 to 20 million people invest in Dividend Reinvest­ment .P1ans (DRIP!!), whicb allow shareholders to purchase stock direct­ly from a company and usually with­out commisSions, and no-load stocks.

• More than 100,000 new paid members joined the nonprofit Na­tional Association of Investors Cor­poration in the first fline monthS of 1996.

• Self-reliant investors can now access tremenctous volumes offinan" cial infortrullioo inc:yberspace: anes­timated 250,000 bOllseholds via America Online's "Motley Fool" site each 'month, while earlier this year Spring Street BreWing Co; beearne the first company to offer a bulletin board stock trading system (via e-mail) on its World Wide Web hornepage.

The Direct Stock Purchase Plan Clearinghouse, a "one-stop" toll-free hotline service. receives an average of 50,000 enrollment requests per month. The Clearinghouse provides prospectus and enrollmem informa­tion on no-load stock plans.

The idea behind IRAs is to enable and encourage' .AJni:ricans to set aside moneyfor theirtCtirement security. Single-incom~ coUples have the same ~ment needs as two-income COUples.

How big of a difference will the new law make in the financial security of a typical couple who ~ advailtage of its savings provisions? Setting aside an extra $1,750 in an lRAeacbyearfor 30 years (assuming a modest 6 percent rate ofreJum) would result in $150,000 of additional retirement savings --a significant·asset. .

SEEDS FROM THE SOWER . . Michael A. Guido

A little girl was taught the prayer, -Now I lay me down to sleep ... - But she forgot the third. line, andadded,a'f 'should die before' wake, Lord, couldn't we have breakfast together?-

She had the right Idea, for when .a Christian dies, he goes imJllediately to be with Ch,rist.

All through this life Christians have gu~rdlan angels, and the· last thing an ang~' does for a Christian is to take. him home to heaven, .

Just as you'wer., looked for when you came into this world, SQ,yqu'lI be looked for whiriyou go home to heaven. Our .. LOrd says. a, will . receive you unto MySelf."

But if'you'(Jb, rec'ived by Christ in heaven, you must receive Christ on earth .. You'll receive Him, .Won't Y9u? .
