Silver Price
At Highest Level
CNew York U.R) Handy &
Harmon, bullion dealers, have
.raised the price of silver Vs cent
'to A2 cents a fine ounce, the
highest price in 35 years.
This is the first change in the
gilver price since Sept. 30 when
it wont up 1V6 cents to 91. At
92 cents, it is the highest since
1920 when the price ran as high
as $1.3714, the all time peak.
Handy & Harmon, whose sil
ver quote is the basis for trading
here, said the unavailability of
spot silver in Eastern markets at
the 91 cent level forced pur
chases to be made from the gov
ernment at 92 V cents. Handy &
Harmon's price normaly is 14
cent under the price at which
producers sell silver. The V
cent extra charged by producers
represents financing, handling,
and other charges.
In London, the spot price of
the white metal held unchanged
at 80 pence.

Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS

Harman Nichols
Oil Progress Week is now be
ing observed throughout the na
tion, according to N. S. Buvick,
chairman of the Medford Oil
Information committee.
Studies conducted by the
American Petroleum . Institute
show that there will be great
changes in how Americans will
live and work and play 21 years
fro mnow during the bicenten
nial of this country.
The report states that in the
year 1976 marking the 200th
anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence
the population of the United
States will be 207,000,000 (105,
000,000 will be women, still out
numbering men by a slight mar
gin). These 207,000,000 Amer
icans will use 12,900,000 barrels
of oil each day and petroleum
reserves will still be ample for
distant future needs.
Longer Lifespan v . :S
We will be an older popula
tion a 100-year lifespan will be
common and the oldsters will be
more robust.

We Give
S&H
GREEN
STAMPS
There wil be automatic fac
tories, but with an all-time high
in employment. There will be
more and better roads, schools,
hospitals, colleges, and theaters.
Increased leisure time will' give
more hours for study, travel,
and play. There will be-illumi-nant
paints to light rooms, with
the intensity controlled by a
button push.
We'll have lighter but warmer
clothing for winter wear, and
temperature regulating garments
for summertime. Transoceanic
TV programs will be common
with three-dimensional TV pro
jected in color from a flat panel
within living room walls.
More Electrification
We will have 100 per cent
rural electrification. Dust Bowl
conditions will be eliminated.
Agricultural yield will be up
15-20 per cent an acre with
tastier, higher quality foods.
Shorter working hours for farm
ers will be common due to such
progress results as tractors that
plow by themselves. Farmers
will also have automatic, high
speed milking machines, plan
ters, reapers, and other farm
machinery all of them powered
by oil, many of them made with
petroleum-derived plastics.
There will be human travel
in rocket ships at speed of 2500
miles per hour. A man-made
satellite will circle the earth at
terrific speed, sending back radio
and TV information essential to
medical and scientific research
and weather control.
Inexpensive Houses
The field of petrochemicals
materials derived from petro
leum will furnish inexpensive,
prefabricated houses, complete
with wiring, plumbing, weather
conditioning, and other built-in
conveniences.
And no more household drudg
ery for the housewife of 1976.
We'll have electronic cleaners
and dusters, unrefrigerated foods
that will stay fresh indefinitely
and robot cooks producing meals
to order.
We will do more traveling by
super-highways, with larger pas
senger space in our cars, smaller
but more powerful engines, using
new and improved petroleum
fuels. Planes will take off and
land under control of automatic
pilots. New medical discoveries
will enable women (and men) to
remain younger looking, more
handsome.

between peddling and playing
they find time to dig into their
