In Art Up
CHICAGO (AP) - In-

more attractive to indus-
try and to persons with
limited finances, says a
Chicago art dealer.
"It's an irrefutable fact
that works of art have
been better long-term fi-
nancial investments than
the stock market or even
real estate," said Richard
Gray, a dealer, collector
and gallery owner.
And he pointed out that,
although the security of in-
vesting in art remains
with the ultra-expensive
works of the old masters,
impressionists, cubists and
surrealists, a person could
spend as little as $200 for a
work that will appreciate
in value.

"There was nothing left but a couple of pegs on

and carport which Hughes had built so far were
worth about $5,000.

weeks earlier.
"Apparently they got the whole thing to the dump
in five trips," Wittich said.

pay and is repaying this at $150 monthly, with $300 still
due as of Nov. 30.

SPRINGVILLE, Calif. (AP) — James Hughes re-
ported the vacation house he was building was
missing. Authorities found the remains of it in the
town dump.
"We found what's left of it, which isn't much,"
sheriff's deputy Frank Wittich said Tuesday. "Just
a few old pipes and ends of boards. "All the fix-
tures are gone and what with the fuel shortage,
most of the good timber went pretty fast."
Hughes, who lives in Lancaster, near Iajs Ange-
les, drove to this community of 1,000 in the Sierra
Nevada foothills to work on the home. He found it
missing, along with numerous pipes and beams he
had stockpiled nearby.

thing but hazardous at
best for several days.
There was no immediate
hope for them to do any-
thing but get worse.
The teen and sub-teen
temperatures which have
held a firm grip on the en-
tire state since the new
year dawned are to contin-
ue until the new storm has
come and gone.
A revised forecast was
issued by the weather fore-
casters at mid-morning to
add a travelers advisory
for the southeast this aft-
ernoon and tonight due to
the freezing rain and icing
conditions.
The amended forecast
said the sleet and freezing
rain mixed with snow
would spread over the re-
mainder of the state to-
---- night before ending from
the west Thursday.
The bitter cold is to hold '
about the same readings _
as occurred overnight
when the range was 6 de-
grees at Gage to 16 at
McAlester among regular
reporting stations. Unoffi-
cial readings at Elk City
and elsewhere were zero
this morning. The spread
tonight is expected to be 8
to 18 degrees across the
state and will hold all
moisture in frozen form on
roads.
The National Weather
Service said an upper
trough of low pressure
moving eastward out of
Arizona, coupled with a
surface low pressure sys-
tem in southwest New
Mexico was causing the
activity.
