WORLD BEGAN TO CRASH
THIRTY YEARS AGO
Significant similarities and differ¬
ences exist between the stock market
today and 30 years ago—in foremost 1929.
Sylvia Porter, America’s
economic writer, today begins a
highly interesting and important simi¬
eight-part series analyzing the
larities and differences.
By SYLVIA PORTER
It was 30 years ago yesterday that
a world began to crash. It was on
Oct. 4, 1929, that the stock market
suddenly went into a wild down-spiral
and Wall St. was struck by the first
of a violent selling attacks which
were to culminate in the convulsion of

It will be on Oct. 29 that
the 30th anniversary of Black Tues¬
day in Wall St.
For that was the climactic day dur¬
ing which 16,410,000 shares changed
hands, billions of dollars of stock
values were wiped out in five hours,
millionaires became paupers between
breakfast and lunch, the savings of
both the sophisticate and the inno¬
cent simply disappeared into nothing
ness. without
BUT OCT. 29 didn’t happen
warning. Actually, the stock market
reached its all-time peak Sept. 3, 1929.
After that, it was rocked by succes¬
sive avalanches of selling—on Oct. 4,
Oct. 21, Oct. 23, Oct. 24.
This is the appropriate week, there¬
fore, in which to look back. And in
contrast to the 10th anniversary of
the holocaust in pre-World War IPs
quiet 1939 and the 20th anmversary
in post-World War II’s recession 1949,
there are some disturbing similarities
between 1959 and 1929.
Once again gambling in stocks has
reached a pitch new to an entire gen¬
eration. nothing

speculation, get-rich-quick gambling

Once again stock prices and
bid up to dizzying heights, divi¬ as a
result the income available on
dends from most stocks at today’s
prices is less than that available from
highest-grade bonds. This upside
down relationship between returns on
stocks and on bonds existed in 1929.
In 1929, for instance, a buyer of
stocks could obtain, on average, an
annual return of 3% per cent against
an average annual return of 4% per
cent on high-grade bonds.
In most years since, stock yields
have topped bond yields. In mid-sum¬
mer, though, the return from stocks
was down to around three per cent,
the return from high-grade bonds up
to around 4% per cent. The spread is
striking—and chilling. market has

was used as an “excuse” for the most
recent drop, but, regardless of ex¬
cuses, the fact is that between Aug.
31 and Sept. 22 the Dow-Jones aver¬
age of industrial stocks cracked 48
points—the most severe price plunge
in two years.
Some stocks are down 30 to 50 per
cent from their 1958-59 tops.
And once again there is tremendous
public interest in stocks, price fluctua¬
tions are front-page news, and there
is talk of a “new era” of permanent
prosperity. Once again money is

COMMITTEEMEN APPOINTED
Recent changes have been made in
the County Committee Set-Up of the
Farmers Home Administration. Three
Area FHA Committees have been
established in the Gainesville Unit.
These committees will replace the in¬
dividual committees in the counties
involved and will be known as the
Hall-White Area Committee, Haber
sham-Rabun Area Committee, and the
Union-Towns Area Committee.
The three committeemen serving the on
the Hall-White Committee during
coming year will be Alver L. Pirkle,
Rte. 2, Buford, Georgia, Barnett Hur¬
ley, Rte. 1, Murrayville, Georgia, and
Loy M. Dorsey, Rte. 1, Cleveland,
There is a Farmers Home Adminis¬
tration committee serving every agri¬
cultural county in the country. Alt
loan applications must tie approved by be
the committee before funds can
advanced. The committee also helps
the county supervisor adapt the
agency’s loan policies and services
to local conditions.
The Farmers Home Administration
makes loans to farmers to buy live¬
stock and machinery, to finance an¬
nual operating costs, to improve build¬
ings and fences, and to purchase land.
The Agency also lends money to
farmers or their non-profit associa¬
tions to establish and carry out ap¬
proved soil and water conservation
practices, as well as for installing and
improving irrigation and farmstead
water supply facilities.
FLOODING LOT OF NEIGHBOR
IS FORBIDDEN
By the Atlanta Bar Association
and the Lawyers Club of Atlanta
John and Mary enjoyed living in
their new suburban home which was
located on a large, wooded lot. Mary
took special pride in her flower garden
and John boasted about his patio to
one and all.
Then Joe, the owner of the upper
adjacent lot, decided to build a home
on his lot. Not being a nature lover,
Joe cut down all of the many beautiful
trees located on his lot and he paved
a large portion of his land for drive¬
ways, walkways, patios * and play
areas.
Whereas the surface water had pre¬
viously been dissipated take evenly off over
his lot, Joe, in order to the
increased flow of surface water, caused
by the development of his lot, con¬
structed a series of drains, all of
which emptied at one point on John’s
lot. Thereafter, every thunderstorm
caused John’s lot to become inundated,
Mary’s flower garden and John’s patio
and surrounding play area to become
covered with silt, mud and debris.
John sued Joe for damages and also
sought an injunction against judgment Joe.
The court awarded in
John’s favor and also issued an order
restraining Joe from continuing to
concentrate his surface water on the
lot of John. The court stated: “John’s
lot, being lower than the adjoining lot.
of Joe, owed a servitude to the higher'
lot in receiving surface water which
normally ran from the upper lot. How¬
ever, Joe had no right to concentrate
and collect surface water and cause it
to flow upon the lot of John in a
greater quantity at any particular
locality or in a manner different from
that in which the waters would be re¬
ceived by the lower estate if they
simply ran down from the upper lot
by the law of gravitation.” Journal
