WE LEARNED t . A r u. I I ,V ii c'isirkEt DANISH VISITORS Kirsten and Wagner Jensen, Denmark, isit with Davis High principal Richard Stevenson (center front) and teacher Anna Anderson (back center). Mr. and Mrs. Jensen are school teachers in Denmark and have been visiting Davis High to observe the American education cation which they pioneered in Denmark. Davis High. She was born in Denmark and has many friends and relatives there. Each year the Jensens conduct 20 two w eek sessions w ith an enrollment of 35 students. They spoke to the class about MR. AND Mrs. Jensen were hosted by Miss Andersen who teaches English and German at their senior citizen education program which offers crafts, dancing, sculpturing, art, field trips, drama and academic subjects. Their objective is to promote a similar program in the U.S. np ductions and the unique engineering and other expert services the hallmark of this c industry are opening up new market areas. In the opinion of the Research Department of Reports, the better forecast for 1982 is not yet reflected in present price levels for the stocks of connector companies. Anticipated lower interest rates, an increase in capital spending, and firmer prices should add to the ov erall higher results projected for next year. once-prosai- Bab-son- CONNECTORS ARE universally used to join wires, cables, printed circuit boards, and electronic components. While they are not immune to recessions in business generally, they are finding that their newer advanced technological product lines are in may cases mitigating the effects of the current downturn in the economy. From all indications, the connector industry which sells to seven major markets is beginning to experience some pickup in domestic demand, and is now positioning itself for a rebound early next year. 's 0 ER THE LAST 30 years domestic connector shipments have increased at an annual growth rate of between 12 and 15 percent, an extremely respectable rate. For 1981 shipments of $1.62 billion are expected. up materially from $1.5 billion recorded in 1980. Led by the burgeoning flat cable and connectors product line, the latest predictions are for a far sharper advance in THOUGH international 1982. orders are still weak, this sector could soon bottom out. Several new product intro Marked inroads are being made in computer electronics sectors and the office market. as well as for military applications. Their expansion rate for the period is being estimated around percent, for above the average of 13.5 percent expected to be chalked up for all connector products. 1979-198- 4 20-2- 5 EXCITING AND dynamic new technological product advances have been made in connectors incorporating fiber optic systems and elastomeric devices. These product in- novations, while still in their infancy as far as their contributions to sales and earnings are concerned, should still carve out fine market niches in a few years. The nascent U.S. fiber opitc connector business, currently about $3.5 million in conservatively slated to grow to around $15.2 million by 1985. Suppliers are optimistic that it w ill e be a industry in telecommunications, computer links, and instrumentation all growth fields. ANOTHER technological breakthrough is being made in elastomeric connec- - tors for membrane switches for computer terminal keyboards, wood processors, pringer and other computer peripherals. Elastomeric connectors are better suited to microelectronic circuitry design. less expensive, and offer greater reliability. The membrane keyboard market was about $25 million in 1980 and is scheduled to grow to $120 million by 1984, presenting a real opportunity for manufacturers of symptoms. The child must be exposed in a strong enough way frequently enough to a foreign material that is capable of stimulating an allergic immune response, and this child should be one who has the tendency to overproduce IgE. Keeping in mind that the development of allergies is an active response, it makes sense that infants are born without allergies. As the color of their eyes is determined prior to birth, so is the tendency of the immune system with regards the production of IgE. The infant is born with a tendency for or against becoming allergic. elas- tomeric connectors. BABSOY IS of the opinion that the connector industry' has a healthy growth potential for investors at this time. We are now recomending purchase of the average-gradcommon of Thomas & Betts (NYSE), a contender for top rank. Other supervised companies with important connector divisions include AMP (the leading firm in the business sector). Allied Corp., Bendix, Du Pont, ITT, Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing. and TRW.

Wagner and Kirsten Jensen, senior citizens from Denmark, visted Davis High School Sept. 2 to lecture, show slides and sing. Their visit was in conjunction with a U.S. tour sponsoring senior citizen edu also that allergies are often the result of an imbalance within our immune system leading to an increased production of a protein call IgE antibody; and this specific antibody in combination with a mediator cell and a specific foreign material will cause an allergic immune response. The answer to the question who gets allergies depends upon the combination of three factors. The first factor is the nature of the exposure to the foreign material. We are exposed to foreign materials in many ways. The materials can touch our skins, can be breathed through our nose or into our lungs, or can be sw allowed. allergic and is exposed to foreign material capable of causing allergy often enough and in s |
