Newspaper Page TextBuried Treasure Irish Glassware With Marking Declared Rare Old man O'Flaherty grabbed me by the arm while young Tom got a decanter of Irish whiskey and some glasses from the pan try. "I won't drop the decanter . .. can't . . . That's why they have rings on the neck," he said, pointing to the rings of raised glass on the neck which he seized and began to pour. "See, your fingers can't slip." The thought intrigued me. I had often wondered about the rings on decanter necks and complimented him on his logical explanation. "That's the way it is with most Irish decanters," he said, -of the old ones such as we used to get in grandfather's time when the Irish exported vast quantities of glassware to the United States. . ." MEXICAN STAMP MEMENTO "I've got only one stamp in my collection," said Carlos, tak ing a plastic folder out of his pocketbook and handing It to me. "This is it." I looked at the stamp. It was a Mexican five-peso item with a picture of the Cathedral of Mexico under the word COR REOS and over the legend: "Cinco MEXICO pesos." Though it was unused, it was overprint ed with the words GOBIERNO CONSTITUCIONALISTA, and there was also a monogram on it that looked like a C and a G superimposed on a M. In fact, the stamp had just about every thing. The stamp happened to be one that I had some idea of the EARLY ADVERTISING TOKENS "This is my lucky day," said Ted, a coin dealer friend of mine. "It's due to a buy I had the good fortune to make yes terday. This one here," and he pointed to a small tray on which lay 10 Spanish two-reales pieces. I looked at the coins careful ly as they lay against the black velvet cover of the tray. They were ordinary pieces as such things go nothing for anyone to get excited about, particular ly a dealer such as Ted. In fact, they weren't particularly old, none of them being earlier than 1700. "I bought the lot from an old fellow who came in yesterday. Gave him $2 for them." "All right," I said. "Where does the good luck come in. This Spanish silver wouldn't bring you a profit of more than $5 in two years."

Ilth at STARK TILA i As he spoke, he picked up the decanter, tipped it to one side and pointed out the words on the bottom, "Cork Glass Co." Recalling that much of the Irish glass was not marked most of. it, in fact I asked if he knew the value of his piece. "Chiefly sentimental," he said. "It couldn't be much else and stay around here for long." Tom agreed. I decided to say nothing more until I had looked it up. What I learned next day was this. If you have any old decant ers marked like the above, or with names such as "Waterloo Co., Cork," or "Cork Glass Co.," you're in. So far, since learning how rare his decanter is. O'Fla herty has refused two offers for it, one for $300, and the other $1,500. OF PANCHO VILLA DAYS value. Nonetheless, I decided to check it and took it out to the club library where some cata logues were available. When I returned a few min utes later, I explained to Carlos that I had been curious about checking my knowledge of Mex ican issues and had just discover ed that the stamp was worth S100, considerably more than I had expected. If he would like to get rid of it, I would be glad to take it off his hands. Carlos shook his head as he took back the stamp. "This is all I've got left of those days with Villa and his Dorados his golden ones except my memories. And I'm going to keep it till I die." LIKE SPANISH REALES Ted asked me to turn over the coin with the date of 1722. The date was punched deep be tween the words "Rex" and "Hispaniarm." On the other side, instead of the bust of some Spanish sover eign or the castles of Castile, I saw a stolid Anglo-Saxon ad vertising message. In the center were the words, "North Beach Haven, New Jersey." Around them, in a circle, were more let ters spelling out the legend GUARANTEE DEVELOPMENT CO. "It's one of the early merchant tokens that hundreds of firms put out in this country during the years from 1789 to 1850," said Ted. "But what tickles me is that this old New Jersey item is one of the rarest, and I've just been offered $100 for it." (Released by McCIura Newspaper Syndicate) LEGAL NOTICES Federal Building. Medford.

The entire machinery layout of the paint and lacquer plant will be moved to Medford in the near future. Valuable Machinery The machinery purchased has a value of at least $20,000, it was reported. It includes a mod ern three roller paint mill, a put ty and paste mill, 10 heavy steel agitators ranging in capacity from 150-350 gallons each, mix ers, pumps, filters, two 1000 gallon porcelain lined lacquer tanks, heavy duty, combustion proof motors, shafting, pulleys, hangars, belts, and other miscel laneous equipment. Plans are now being drawn for a new, fire-proof addition to the present plant situated at 906 North Riverside ave. to house the new machinery, according to R. L. Taylor, president. Modern Plant "When completed and all ma chinery installed, Medford will have quite a complete and mod ern paint, varnish and lacquer plant, capable of supplying all kinds of paint, varnishes and lacquers in any quantity for both domestic and export trade." Taylor said. He added that ne gotiations are under way to fur nish several furniture factories with lacquers and varnishes, and that representatives of the Na tional Exporting association have inquired regarding prices 4?

(U.R) A "glass rat," whose only real internal or gan is the liver, is being used here to study cirrhosis and other liver diseases. A complex contraption of glass and rubber tubing is used to keep a rat"s liver about the size of a silver dollar alive for up to 30 hours. Dr. Ralph W. Brauer, German born physiologist, is the inventor and the man who nicknamed the device "glass rat." Brauer is head of the pharmacology branch of the naval radiological defense laboratory, San Francisco. He moved his work here to the Uni versity of California campus of veterinary science. The trouble with studying the liver under normal circum stances, is this when the liver is ailing, other organs of the body come to its rescue. By studying a liver independent of such help, Brauer and other sci entists hope to pinpoint the real causes of liver malfunctions. Other devices have been con- of house and marine paints for export to South America and elsewhere. Arrangements have been made with a trucking firm to transport the machinery to Med ford within the next two weeks, Taylor added. The local factory has been manufacturing and selling their own brand of "Gold- en West"' paints since April 1. ' . , m A - i f . .OB ! .! ' ' 1 '! . i "i i - Anytime's The Right Time For. ALL JERSEY MIC Liver Disease Study structed to take the place of bod ily functions, notably an arti ficial kidney, but Brauer's de vice is believed to be the only one being used in liver study. A small yalved pump serves as a "heart" and the gadget has a "glass lung." The liver itself rests in a cup-shaped bed. A small duct takes away the bile production which is measured and analyzed. "Lunch here," said Brauer, "is served regularly on the minute. ' and he pointed to a metering of sugar and other blood foods being conducted through the tubes to the living liver. The total national production of peas in 1954 was 850,000,000 pounds. You'll Always Find Reliability Uniformity Full Strength IN EVERY LOAD OF TRU-MIX CONCRETE Tru-Mix Concrete Co. FAST.
