Loan Payment Starts
Enviable Collection
Homeville,' Va. (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.
