To Our Shareholders

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

  The Income Fund continued to exhibit quite favorable investment results in the
second  quarter as a  consequence of overall strength  in the financial markets.
The strong  showing in  both stock  and bond  markets in  turn reflected  modest
economic  growth, only  moderate inflation  and another  good gain  in corporate
profits. Based on a net  asset value of $60.63 per  share on June 30, 1995,  the
Fund produced a total investment return of 7.8% for the quarter after adjustment
for the reinvestment of cash dividends. This brought the first half return up to
a  surprisingly strong 17.7%. Comparable second  quarter returns for the popular
market indices were 10.3%  -- Dow Jones Industrial  Average; 9.5% -- Standard  &
Poor's  500; and 6.5%  -- Lehman Brothers Gov't/Corp.  Index. First half returns
for the three market indices were 20.4%, 20.1% and 11.8%, respectively. The Fund
nicely  out-performed  the  first   half  average  return   of  13.6%  for   the
CDA/Wiesenberger universe of 217 balanced mutual funds.

  The  rate of economic growth continued to  decelerate in the second quarter as
the Gross Domestic Product rose  at only a 0.5% annual  rate compared to a  2.7%
rate  in the first  quarter. The principal cause  of the decline  in the rate of
growth was a further slowdown in consumer  spending which in turn led to a  rise
in  the rate of inventory accumulation.  However, business spending on plant and
equipment and export sales  of goods and services  continued to show good  gains
during  the period. The combination of strengthening overseas markets, favorable
currency translation  effects  and stringent  cost  control resulted  in  a  15%
increase  in second quarter corporate profits  according to a recent Wall Street
Journal survey.  Inflation  remained under  good  control as  continuing  strong
competition  limited price increases to a 2.7% annual rate down from a 3.3% rate
in the first quarter.

  Turning to the  stock market, equity  money flowed into  such growth  oriented
sectors  as health care and technology (computers, software and semiconductors )
in response  to growing  concerns about  the future  direction of  the  economy.
Financial  issues including the banks and S  & L's also did well benefiting from
lower interest rates.  As might be  expected, consumer cyclical  groups such  as
appliances,  autos  and  automotive parts,  building  materials,  retailing, and
textiles were  among the  worst performing  groups  in the  quarter due  to  the
general  slowdown in  consumer spending.  Energy and  certain other  groups that
would eventually be affected by a slowing economy did poorly as well. Among  the
various  Fund holdings, National  Computer (+23.9%), Merrill  Lynch (+23.5%) and
Weyerhaeuser (+21.2%)  performed  the  best  while  Corning  (-9.0%),  Briggs  &
Stratton (-6.1%), Genuine Parts (-5.0%) and McCormick (-5.0%) did the worst.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

  Recent  indicators  of future  economic  activity such  as  employment trends,
factory orders and retail sales all seem to be pointing to a stabilization after
the recent decline in the  growth rate along with  a growing likelihood of  some
rebound  by  year end.  The early  July  reversal of  Federal Reserve  Policy as
evidenced by a lowering of the Fed funds rate also increases the probability  of
at  least a mild  improvement by the end  of the year.  In any event, continuing
strength in export sales and business  capital spending should keep the  economy
from  getting any worse until consumer spending begins to show a more pronounced
recovery. Corporate  profits are  projected to  continue to  grow, albeit  at  a
reduced  rate from the first half, considering  the fact that the full impact is
yet to be felt from cost control programs placed in effect during recent years.

  With respect  to  the  financial  markets, fixed  income  securities  are  not
expected  to earn much more than their coupon rate over the near term unless the
economy weakens further and the Fed takes additional action. On the other  hand,
rates  are not projected to increase much  with economic growth likely to remain
tepid at least through the end of 1995. While the stock market has had an almost
unbroken upward move  since the  beginning of  the year,  valuation levels  have
moved up only modestly as earnings have increased almost in line with the market
rise.  Consequently, while a  market correction seems long  over due, we believe
any decline will  be held to  moderate proportions (5-10%)  assuming the  upward
trend in corporate earnings remains intact.

RECENT EVENTS

  It  is with deep  regret that we must  inform you of the  passing of George C.
Power, Jr., Chairman and Director,  on July 18, 1995.  He will be sorely  missed
for his many contributions and invaluable guidance over the years since the Fund
came into existence in 1961.

  On  a happier note, Peter  G. Robb, Vice President,  was elected a Director of
the Fund at the Annual Shareholders Meeting held on May 15, 1995.
