: THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1981 9 Be PREECE ‘| CLASSIFIED AD Tribune’s Grain, Livestock and Market Report for Thurs., Dec. 24 SECURITIES TRADE BVEN AS HOLIDAYS DIVERT ATTENTION Report of Young Plan Commit- tee Regarded With Satisfac- tion by Bankers New York, Dec. 24—(#)—Securities markets drifted on a fairly even keel Thursday, while holiday preparations diverted much of Wall Street's atten- tion from price levels. The report of the Young Plan Ad- visory committee was generally re-| 5, garded with satisfaction in banking quarters, but it was regarded as a step of too pM¥liminary a nature to have notable effect upon security markets. Fluctuations in share prices were confined to extraordinary narrow lim- its. The market was fairly firm for a time in the morning, but developed an easier tone after midday. Early |c; gains of a point or so in such issues as | Ce! U. §S. Steel, American Telephone, American Can, American Tobacco B, New York Central and others were largely lost, and a few issues regis- tered small fractional losses. West- | Gi inghouse Electric was under some pressure, and sold off about a point.

He| also assisted in the program, which’ was under the supervision of the Ro-/| tary, Kiwanis, Lions and Cosmopoli-| tan clubs, cooperating with the Asso- ciation of Commerce. ‘Last Vest? Gone Milton Rue. chairman of the Amer- {can Legion “Open Your Heart” cam-| paign said every item contributed by} the public had been distributed “down to the last vest and pair of shoes.” Only the distribution of a 40-ton car of coal on Saturday and Monday re- mained to close up the veterans’ ef- fort. Rue said the veterans had spent $1,226.92 in cash, donated by the pub- lic and obtained as receipts from the | Charity Ball, but has a deficit of $190; in addition to that sum. The item which put the campaign “into the red” was payment of freight charges on two carloads of coal, purchased re- | cently. Mines made big concessions on the price of the coal but the freight had to be paid in full under the rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission barring favoritism toj shippers. The American Legion is responsible for the deficit, Rue said, but anyone wishing to contribute toward remov- ing it will find his donation welcome. A preliminary check of the “Open Your Heart” records shows that 528 different families received aid ana that 650 persons contributed either money or goods. In addition, many contributed services. A complete re- port of the movement will be issued jearly in January. Coal distributed will total about 120 tons, Rue said, and should go far to- ward keeping many families warm for | Do'Themselves Proud i At Fort Lincoln the chefs were pre- Paring to do themselves proud in pre- Paring Christmas menus designed to Satiate even the staunchest trencher- man. The menu includes turkey and more trimming and “fixings” than the average man would care to attempt. The U. S. Indian school planned a Christmas -Eve program which cen- tered around a big tree in thé school auditorium. Following a pageant, “The Christmas Story,” songs will be offered by the glee clubs and the presents received by the girls from their homes or from each other will be distributed from the tree. Candy, nuts and fruit will be distributed by the school management. Among the| dainties will be some pinon nuts, | gathered by Navajo Indians in New/ Mexico. Chicken and a host of dain-| ties will grace the festive board for the Christmas dinner. A motion picture will be shown Christmas night. The religious nature of the holiday will be emphasized by services in the | city’s churches, some tonight and oth- ers Christmas day. | Presentation of “Why The Chimes | Rang,” a Christmas play, will be the only public observance Christmas afternoon and evening. Final re-, hearsals were held Wednesday night. The production will be staged at 3 p. m., and at 8 p. m., and will be free to the public. In addition to the cast of 12 the play will be supported by an orchestra of 15 pieces and a chorus of 25 voices. It is offered under the management of the Community Play- ers. Prisoners Will Eat Heartily The 432 prisoners at the state peni- tentlary will eat heartily of Christmas dainties at a big noon dinner. The main item on the menu will be chick- en and with it will go all the usual trimmings of gravy, mashed potatses, cranberry sauce, nuts and candy. Church services will be held early in the morning and before dinner a mo- tion picture will be shown. In the af- ternoon the prisoners will be accorded the freedom of the prison yard.
