Newspaper Page TextMed Treasure Treasury Stamps Better Redeemed to Collectors It undoubtedly pays to be thrifty, but in one instance a friend of mine found that a poor follow-through on the thrifty im pulse paid off far better. ' Back in 1921, when he was 10 years old, Don had hoarded a few dollars, two of which he in vested in Treasury Savings Stamps. The kind he bought were the $1 demnomination. red on green, v. hich were issued by the Trea sury Department and made re deemable in either War Savings Stamps or Treasury Savings certificates. Maybe that is the reason his thrifty impulse miscarried :n the matter of the $2 investment the redemption factor. At least, that is the way he considers it now. "Undoubtedly when I bought them." he said the other day, "I didn't realize I couldn't con vert them into cash whenever PEWTER WORK BY W. WILL It was an old teapot, pewter, with a wooden handle, and not an especially handsome one, considering that the price was marked at S95. . My niece Judith picked the thing up and turned it over. It had three stubby legs termina ting in claw and ball feet with a somewhat Dutch look about them. On the bottom of its flar ing belly, and somewhat off center, was a mark. The mark was fairly well worn away. Nonetheless, it was still legible enough so that the maker's name was William Will. Directly above the letters was another mark one that look ed as if it might be the head of a bird. My niece took the teapot over to the owner of the store. No, the owner would not re duce the price. The teapot was a piece of pewter that had been PROOF COINS WORTH MORE As a class of coins, the large cents put out by our government until shortly before the Civil War are not worth very much, especially those from about 1810 on. And so I was not very much concerned one day to come across a pair of 1857 cents. They were both of what is known as the "small date" size, the one in which the numerals are much smaller compared with those of the other. Of the two, one was a good example of the regular is sue while the second was obvi oustly a proof coin, one not meant for circulation. For a moment, I considered buying the proof. I had never seen one of that particular coin before, and it was quite tempt ing, but when I saw the price for the pair was $30, I decided against it. The regular coin, I knew, was not worth over S5, considering its condition, and I didn't feel that the value of the proof could possibly be worth the balance. But I didn't check. Indeed, 21 -FOR SALE. MISCELLANEOUS I BARGAIN LUMBER CO. Large In ventor dimension and boards.

And al most certainly that was why I proceeded to forget all about them until I came across the two stamps the other day in go ing through some envelopes in a trunkful of stuff my mother sent me from our old home." His first impulse in coming across the bright-colored stamps with their portrait of Hamilton was to find out what the Trea sury would pay for them today. But another thought quickly came to him that it would be wiser to find their value would be to collectors. There is an almost astronomic difference. Because most people who bought such stamps bought them merely as a savings, turning them into the government as soon as possible, very few are available to collectors now. As a result, the value of these SI items now stands at $125 on the philatelic market. USUALLY HAS FINE VALUE brought to Colorado back in 1860 by one of the pioneer families of the 1859 gold rush. So far as price was concerned it was a matter of take it or leave it. My niece took it. "I think it's a very good buy, Uncle Pinkney." said my niece as we drove away. "William Will was a noted pewterer of Phila delphia during the Revolution and for several years after we had got our independence .... But I'm not positive of the mark." The mark, as it happened, was a good one, just one of many that William Will used. And the buy was a good one. too, though not the find I expected. For though Will's work is in several of the leading museums across the country, my niece had difficulty in selling the piece, finally having to come down from $450 to $250 in order to find a buyer. THAN UNCIRCULATED ONES there wasn't time. While I was standing there thinking the mat ter over, another fellow reached forward and picked up the proof. With a quick glance at its other side, and without even bother ing to look at the companion piece, he pulled out his pocket book and bought the pair. The buy, as I later discovered, was a good one on the strength of the proof alone. The catalogue I had been using had shown proofs to be the same as un circulated coins, and priced them without distinction, as many do. But there is a real distinction. A proof coin with its polished, mirror-like surface is quite un like the simple uncirculated coin and usually commands a higher price. At least among the well informed. In the case of the 1857, small date cent, the proof is catalogued at $85. better than five times the value of the regular coin in uncirculated condition.

Riverside Pa. 3-153 H0RNBR00K Baseball Jamboree Held Br MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN Hornbrook the annual Base ball Jamboree, heralding the opening of the Little League season, took place June 12 at the park in Yreka. There are eight teams in the league this year. Hilt, Montague, GazeUe-Grena-da, Hornbrook, sponsored by the Hornbrook Manufacturing Co., and four teams from Yreka, sponsored respectively by the Rotary, Lions, Odd Fellows and Kiwanis. The Little Leagues are com posed of boys ranging in age from 9 through 12 years. "Little Leaguers" from Hornbrook are Loren Cummins, Lauran Payne Jr., Steve McMaster, "Butch" Hegler, Ace Cazzolio, Richard White, Doug Bennett, Billy and Darold Jones, Jimmy Doolittle and Danny Farmer. Extras are Guy Sanders, Steve Farmer and Jerry McMasters, and bat-boy is Gary McMaster. Willis Jones is the coach. In the opening games last Tuesday, each team played three innings. Pitchers for Hornbrook were Loren Cummins who pitched two innings, and Steve McMaster. The Little League season runs for six weeks each summer, and provides good, wholesome recreation, and valu able lessons in sportsmanship for the youngsters, besides being "just plain fun" for them and for the fans who attend their games. It was erroneously reported in the "News About Service men" column that Willie Jones has enlisted to serve with the Sixth Oregon Marines "Beaver" platoon. Willie has just com pleted his sophomore year at Southern Oregon college, and is now employed for the summer at a local mill. He states that he is planning to enter Chico State college in the fall, where he will major in history. Willie has been an oustanding athlete through all his school years, and is working towards becoming a coach. He is the son of Mrs. Gladys Jones and the late Fred Jones. Guests of Mrs. Mary Kurts over the past week end were her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jpme Bailey of Folsom, Calif. Several farmers in this area have cut hay lying in their fields and decreasing in the val ue of the food content with each added day of rain. Those who were able to get their hay baled and in their barns before the rains came are the fortunate ones. The rain is proving valu able in getting the second crop off to a good start. A few warm days now after the rain would make vegetable and flower gar dens "pop," too. Following the high school pic nic in Ashland last week end, Sharee Walsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Walsh, was hos tess to a group of her girl friends at a slumber party. Included in the group were Frances De Witt, Georgene Banish, Sharon Great house, "Shorty" Phillips, Jean Plunkett, Diane Childs, Char lotte Hufford, Rosalie Gagans, Carol Barnett and "Butch" Sharp, all classmates of Sharee's at Yreka high, where she has just completed her junior year. This is the third annual slumber party Sharee has given for her girl friends, having had one each year on the day of the school picnic since she has been in high school. A fashion party featuring cos tume jewelry was held June 12 at the home of Mrs. Tom Collis ter. Mrs. Rosecrans of Hilt is the jewelry representative for this area, and attending the party were Mrs. Lawrence Breceda, Mrs. Frank Henley, Mrs. Laura Swinnerton, Mrs. Duane Ham- ner, Mrs. L. Hutchins, Mrs. Wil liam Farmer and Mrs. Collister Sr. On Sunday, Mrs. Bertha Brad ley was hostess at a dinner hon oring her sister, Mrs. Archie Winders, and Frank Jackson of Klamath river, who observed his 80th birthday on June 12.

John Taylor Jr., whose home is one block from the site of the crash, said he was standing on his front porch when the plane appeared at tree-top level.
