Son Mofeo Tims 19 Friday, Sept. 12, 1953 PEOPLE IN BUSINESS BUSINESS AND FINANCE Uncle Sam Also Hunting For A Loan College Seeks Award for Improvement The committee of the B.V.D A Futnn Each FrltUj in roar Tlnii By BttX CONNELLY LOOKING BACKWARD: Nope! There never was a brewery on Brewer's island, which is the chosen site for the proposed super dooper tourist attraction. Whilst Tom Therkilsen, part owner of said isle, is sojourning in Copenhagen land, let's have a look at the records. Those staves used in the corncrib shaped structure, presently on the site, were reclaimed from barrels used in shipping oysters from the beds abounding there in bygone days. Sometime in that dim past, the W.

P. A. Brewer family, residing in SM, built a beach house on the bay side of the island and named it "Driftwood," now long forgotten. The name Brewer, however, has survived. An added note of interest is that the cement used in building the Hayward bridge, that spaas the hay at that point, was made from shells which were a by product of that one time oyster industry.

LET US BE OF GOOD CHEER: The antics of the "beat generation" and the reports of misconduct of a minority of our teeners should not get us down. Old fashioned morality and way of life is still dominant. Here's one example of what we mean. Thousands of teeners throughout our land have taken up where mother left off. They've joined the nation wide "Teenage Dressmaking Contest sponsored by the Singer Sewing Machine company.

One was staged at Singer's Third avenue emporium by manager Clifford Hawkins last week with 20 girls modeling their handiwork that would have forced an Ah! from the late Christian Dior. The impresario of the occasion was our yardage king Phil Chandler of course. First prize in the junior class went to oail Bennekoff of San Mateo, and in the 14 17 category, Jan ODonnell of Burlingame, captured first place. WEEK IN REVIEW: An announcement in the TIMES of a very big medical center for El Camino and Second avenue brought this flash of wit from a local yokel. "San Mateo's agoin to the doc s.

Lawrence Heinle, local inventor and advocate of a pontoon bridge to replace our present Havward span, has' come up with a revised design for submission to" local civic bodies and Assemblyman Louis Francis. His. plan contemplates building a six lane pontooner parallel to our present overloaded two laner. He would then float the oldster up the bay to supplement the Dumbarton span. The saving over a conventional design is estimated at several million dollars.

GOOD NEWS: Our informant has amended last week's assurance that the big FAOB (Fifth avenue office building) will be built the refinancing he reported as being now but a routine matter. How'd y'all like the "Welcome To San Mateo" brochure just off the press? It's a much needed hand out for the constant stream of newcomers and tourists to our midst. It depicts 29 points of interest from the Giants' stadium at our north border to the Hoover tower at Stanford on the south. It was sponsored by the SM County board of supervisors. Copies may be had at your Chamber of Commerce.

"TWASN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL: It seems such a short time ago that shopkeepers on Camino Real were "weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth" aver the prospects of months of torn up pavements whilst said "royal road" was being widened. Now all's forgotten. It's become a beautiful and dignified thoroughfare permitting traffic to turn on or off with safety, and business has accordingly bounced back in a big way. For instance Al Molinari's Union Oil service station at the Borel corner has a 50 per cent increase in ga'lonage. Reason being: Motorists, especiallv the players and playgoers to the nearby Hillbarn theatre, ear! now stop and enjoy Al's personalized service with ease and safety Miles Trucking, Henry Schwab, president of the Building and Construction Trades Council and cochairman of Day, Martin Wnnder lich and George Leonard of McCammon Wunderlich, Construction Division chairmen and L.

San Mateo. Fl 5 3584. By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, (AP) Like any head of the family whose budget lias Deen sc jttled by unexpected cash outlays and income disappointments, Uncle Sam is about to seek new loans to ride him over. He may have to pay dearly for them. He must try to keep them from further upsetting the money markets and spurring inflation.

It'll be quite a trick, if he can pull it off. The U. S. Budget Bureau has just spelled out in cold figures how much more it's going to take for Uncle Sam to pay his bills, The market in government and corporate bonds is indicating today what terms he is likely to have to pay. The terms those with money to lend now ask and their wariness about taking new offerings have caused a number of companies and local governments to cancel or postpone their own trips to the money market.

And the U. Treasury has just seen its own securities take another price tumble while investors turned instead to gobble up 350 million dollars of Sears, Roebuck bonds paying 4Y, per cent. Falling prices on government securities is raising their yield. The highest now is on a per cent Treasury bond bid down below 93 to turn a yield of 3.84 per cent to those who buy at that price. Next month the Treasury must raise several billion in new cash.

And there'll have to be more later. The Treasury foresees a 12V6 biUion dollar deficit by next June. Treasury Dilemma The Treasury's dilemma is: Should it raise 'part of the new loans it must have by offering medium and long term bonds at the risk of competing with state and local governments also seeking cash and with corporations? If they fail to get new funds at reasonable rates the business recovery could be impeded. Or should the Treasury rely almost entirely on short term borrowings, the kind that usually appeal chiefly to commercial banks and which might swell the money supply and give inflation another leg up in its war on the family pocket book? A speeded up business recovery, and even inflation, could give the Treasury some help by reviving tax collections. More unlikely is that help might come through an economy revival in federal spending.
