The project is being sponsored here by Medford Travel Study club of the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs. ' The packages range from $1 and $2 school kits that make it possible for children to go to school, or may even be used by adults to learn to read, to $90 packages for sew ing machines on which girls and women can be trained to earn their living. There are also S20 kits of tools to train men in various trades. CARE also contributes funds for special purchases such as livestock for agricul tural commodities or centers, special equipment for schools and medicine, drugs and me dical equipment for health clinics and hospitals. Mrs. Walter Brown, Klam ath Falls, president of Ore gon Federation of Women's Clubs, states that wherever there is need of tools, CARE attempts to fill it. The saw, the preserving jar, the hoe, the needle and thread, and the slide rule are all tools of self-support, and tools of re covery. "CARE goes directly to the Nobody Able To Get Close To Nation's Ft. Knox Gold Horde 0 vrppwm i if If - .1 By ELMER C. WALZER UP I Financial Editor New York -OT- A United Press International reporter wanted to visit Ft.

Knox, director of the mint ad vises that nobody, but no body, gets closer .than one quarter mile to the building. "If reporter wants to stop by to see what the building looks like from a distance of one quarter mile that can be arranged. " In that case, director of the mint would have his man go to the gate and give reporter the standard background ma terial, i There's a big difference be tween Ft. Knox and the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Here in New York lies a for tune of $8,500,000,000 of solid gold, gleaming down 85 feet below street level in impreg nable vaults. The Fed isn't afraid of vis itors. One, armed with proper credentials of say a newspa per reporter, can visit the vaults and paw over the gold. They'll even let him lift a 28 pound bar worth $14,000. A gold bar of that weight and value is about the size of a best seller volume. people who need help, and they know the Americans have cared enough to try to help them," Mrs. Brown stat es. "This awareness strength ens their faith in their own abilities and encourages them in turn to greater initiative."

A race horse must win the Triple-Crown as a three year old. Nobody's talking about this reluctance to permit anyone to take a look at the $12 billion Ft. Knox gold. But it is a bit odd. There's one difference be tween the two gold hoards. That at Ft. Knox belongs to us it's U.S. property. The gold at the New York Federal Reserve is ear-marked set aside for foreign nations who trust us to keep it in the impregnable vaults of the Fed eral Reserve Bank. If anyone should have the opportunity to steal a bar of gold, it wouldn t do him much good unless he could smuggle it out of the country and that's practically impossible. We don't know now gooa those valutsNare at the fort. We do know the ones at the Fed here are "burglar proof. And just in case anyone gets reckless there are 120 guards at the New York bank who can shoot straighter than the Lone Ranger. The word is if you want to commit suicide, try running across the floor of the New. York Federal Re serve Bank. But there must be many more guards at Ft. Knox, armed with artillery, and who knows but what there might be an atomic weapon or two. Supose that S12 billion in gold isn't at Ft. Knox. Suppose it sank down deep into the ground. The Old Story The situation might be like the story that used to go around during the good old days of gold standards when one could buy gold for $20.67 per fine ounce and use it for a door stop . or any other item he desired. ' The story was that all the nations of the world pooled their gold and cached it in an island in a lonely part of the Pacific Ocean i.i an impreg nable, inaccessible location known to very few people. Each year an expedition went to the island, made a cursory inspection and re turned home. The island was able to receive messages but couldn't send messages. Each time a gold transfer was made from one nation to another the keeper of the gold would shift the bars to the receiving na tion's valut and a Dookkeeping entry told of the change. Faith of the gold's existence was all that was needed to make the transaction binding, As the expedition neared the island one sunny day, the small inspection group was horrified to find it had sunk MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Wednesday, November 19. 195 3 without a trace. "What'U we do," one of the I young men wailed. "The world will be in a chaos over this." "Say nothing at all," said his elderly companion. "No one ever need know the gold is gone. They need only the belief it's safe and we'll tell them it is."
