(U.R) It all started 17 years ago when $15 dollars and collected $3,000 Howard Spain lent a neighbor in return. Now the Sussex County, Va., farmer keeps about half a mil lion dollars in currency and bonds around the house. But none of it is worth a hoot at the grocery store. It's all Confede rate issue. Spain became interested in col lecting the non-negotiable stuff when that loan was paid off. Now he has one of the most enviable collections of Confede rate money and bonds in the South. It rivals collections of museums and universities. ' His choice piece is' a $1,000 Commonwealth of Virginia bond with all its undipped coupons intact. He said Duke University owns the only other such com plete specimen. V; .: The collector also has a $1,000 State of Florida bond secured. by 8,000 acres of land. He said the only other Florida bond he has run across is a $500 one in the Confederate Museum ' in Kich mond, Va. . Tourists Pick Up Better Eating Habits New York U.R) An inter nationally known gourmet says American tourists in Europe usually bring home better eating habits. The problem is to make them stick. James A. Beard, lecturer and author of many books on food and wine, has just spent several months touring western Europe. "It's a wonderful thing to see Americans actually, relaxed while eating their meals," he said. "In all kinds of restaurants I found Americans really enjoy ing themselves in an atmos phere that is certainly not very different from many of our own restaurants at home. Perhaps it's because we're away 'and . in a different environment - that we seemto enjoy ourselves so much, but I hope these habits stick with our tourists when they come back home." Beard said that many Ameri cans are bringing back with them a greater taste for wines, champagnes ' and cognacs which are standard with European din ing and contribute to relaxed eat ing. Prices in Europe are very reasonable, he said, and hotels and restaurants in . America would do well to price such beve rages so Americans will -continue the habits they started overseas. This is the first of the "Clean Up, Dress Up" parties planned for the YMCA this spring by the building committee. . . 'i Teen-Age Roadeo Will Test Driving Skills on Saturday .
