United Cress Correspondent
. New YorJ' (IT) To a
large extent, a ahow liXe Wed
nesday night's "All-Stgr Jazz

disservice to jose.
"We haijs over 58 o9 tha

There is a sense of hurry-and-push
about the proceed
ings. The idea, is to call out
as many names as possible,
flash their faces on the
screen and then let them blow
hot little driSbles into the
mikes.
Another defect of this kind
of show is that it tries to sat
isfy everyone ' and winds up
satisfying no one.
A Bit of Everything
For some reason, gCes the
thinking, big band swing must
be represented, so let's run

What results from this sub

as a shabby and base little

Fluid Trombone
To give the' show its due,
there were some saving mo
ments. Teegarden blew some
beautifully fluid trombone,
Art Farmer chipped in some
tasty trumpet and even Arm
strong blew g few snatches of
honest horn when he wasn't
clowning.
But I would say the chief
tip-off to tha character of the
show was indicated by the
running in of Jaye P. Mor
gan as a "jazz" singer. Miss
Morgan took an almost singer
proof song "The Lady Is a
Tramp," and trampled on it.
Her singing lacked ease and
swing, and her breath control
was so faulty, she lost end
phrases. Another tip-off was the
cue-in for commercials. To
wit: "Man, that was real gone
and crazy. Now let's take
five, team with John Cam
eron Swayze." To which I say
ugh, man, ugh.

Gold Mining Stocks
Gain in Popularity
As Spurt Predicted
By ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Pinaneigl Editor
New York (IP! Every time
the economy gets a bit of an
upset some one comes along
'j1 i .WJiJ wi tfi a ciinr
plan or two to
revalue gold
or adjust our
' money supply
some how or
other. "
And at these
times, there is
a flurry of de
mand for gold
mining stocks
on the
theory their earning
will spurt if gold is, given
nigner price
' What really happens is that
in times of recession the cost
of gold mining declines a bit
and that gives the gold miners
a bit, more protit
V The gold talk is increasing
just now because the United
States is losing gold. That
means foreign nations are
more eager to put their
American dollar holdings into
gold than they are to buy our
government bonds where the
yields are low
So far this year, the United
States has lost $600 million in
gold. Last year it gained $1
billion when yields on gov
ernments were high and the
foreign nations bought them.
Wejll Supplied o
But the nation still has the
biggest supply of gold of any
country in the world more
than $22 billion of it.
Foreign nations have a rela
tively small sum compared
with ours and they think
enough of our vaults at the
New York Federal Reserve
Bank to keep it here. The
New York Fed has nearly $7
billion of gold earmarked for
foreign account in the best
burglar proof vaults you ever
saw way down deep in the
earth.
The experts belittle the talk
of gold price increases. These
people point out that we have
$10 billion more gold than we
neea right now as reserves
against the dollars in circula
tion. This flow of gold back and
forth our stock up $1 billion
last year, down $600 million
so far this year is considered
a normal operation. It's seen
as the shock absorber of in
ternational credit.
Raising the price of gold is
another way of dollar devalu
ation. It doesn't make more
gold. It does place a higher
price on what gold is avail
able. But it's an inflationary
device which the experts say
is just about as necessary
right now as growing wheat in
Wall Street. In fact, they hold,
a higher gold price is just
what the nation doesn't need.
Plenty of Words .
But the talk and the writ
ings on gold goes on jypt as
it did in the 1930s when
enough words were spilled on
gold to fill a 31 foot, 10 inch
book shelf.
The world gold price fixed
by the United States remains
at $35 per fine ounce. You
can buy British gold crowns
and hoard them right here in
New York. You'll pay $35 an
ounce plus charges for ship
ping, etc., bringing your cost
to about $38 an ounce. If you

Meantime, Wall Street likes
to talk of the prospect of a
higher gold price and what it
would do to gold mining com
pany shares The conservatives
admit gold shares might rise
but they warn against expect
ing a big jump because they
aver there just won't be a
higher xpld price set by the
U. S.

Income Deductions

ductions for students specifies

ing) methods specifies, among
other things, a test should be
siven of the applicant's reac
tions to determine his ability

gency. l- It also specifies that an
actual demonstration should
be given of the driver'? ability
to operate a motor vehicle so
as not to jeopardize the safety
of a person or property.

Firm Observes
48th Anniversary
From small beginning in
1910, th Monarch Seed and
Feed Co., which is celebrat
ing its 48th anniversary, has
grown to the present' three
store business under the man
agement of the Miksche fam
ily. The business is now rec
ognized coast wide as one of
the most completely stocked,
best arranged and cleanest op
eration of its kind.
The first store was opened
in the space now occupied by
Lamports by Leo T. Miksche
and his son, Raymond A.
Miksche. The business was in
corporated in 1913 and the
next year it was moved to
space now occupied by the
Toy House.
The Miksches purchased m
1919 the old Russ mill on the
bank of Bear creek where
Skinner's used car lot is to
day. In 1927 the firm com
pleted the concrete building
at the corner of 10th and
South Fir sts., which now
houses the seed cleaning and
feed milling plant plus the
farm and garden store.
Joins Business
Robert Miksche joined the
business in 1927 and he is
now manager of the uptown
store which was opened in the
present location in 1932. Leo
J. Miksche died in 1928.
The other store is Ted's
Feed and Seed in Ashland.
Raymond Miksche is still in
active supervision of the en
tire operation.

neer Jacksonville family, be
queathed a sum of $50,000,
the annual income of which
was directed to be used for
scholarships for local gradu
ates, on a basis of character,
need and better than average
grades.
Average number of seniors
in Jacksonville is 25, and in
1952 two went to some institu
tion of higher learning. In
1953, three attended, seven in
1954 and six out .of a class of
32 in 1955.
First Class
First class to receive the
Britt Scholarships was the
class of 1956, when Sonya
Smith, Hazel Tweedy, George
Perreard, Maxine Bowman
and Ron Muir received awards
and brought the percentage of
college-bound students to
more than one-fourth of the
class. ,
In 5957, 11 students out of a
graduating class of 31, or bet
ter than one third, continued
their education. Students who
