To Advertise For Truck Bids Bids for three new dump trucks for the Porter County Highway department will be opened Dec. 12. County Highway Supervisor Willis Grieger requested the Porter County Board of Commissioners Monday to advertise for bids now so that delivery of the trucks would be made before summer. Although he only requested two new trucks, Commissioner Virgil King suggested that long as the county was advertising, they might as well buy three trucks as two. Grieger replied that he felt the county should buy two now and then wait to see what's needed later in the year.
The commissioners said it seemed that Grieger had something specific in mind, and Virgil King guessed right when he said Grieger would like a new crane for bridge work. It was felt the county could not afford a $25,000 $40,000 crane, so it will advertise for three trucks instead of two.

Accidents Markets Stock Market NEW YORK (UPI) The stock market made a strong comeback today following the wide spread decline Monday in reaction to devaluation of the British pound and a hike in the Federal Reserve Board discount rate.
Prices moved up along a broad front in active trading with the glamor stocks leading the way, but many blue chips also showed gains of a point or more. Analysts said the stock market traditionally makes a strong rebound following any climactic selloff, but many felt traders were a little too exuberant and expected profit taking to trim gains by the end of the session. According to some brokers, the strength reflected investor confidence in the government's to keep the dollar attempt stable even if it means a tax hike. If an excuse taking is needed, "however, analysts feel the hike in the prime interest rate by several banks will be sufficient. The prime rate is what banks charge their best customers and usually sets the direction for other rates.
