A precious find of this sort invari ably brings with it the twin mys teries of the antique's precise function and the period of his lory in which it was born. A classic example of sucn a rare discovery rests in the su pcrb Durell Farm museum maintained by the Union Fork and Hoe company of '.olumuui Ohio. This unusual antique is a walnut box 9' i inches high, 12 5-16 inches long and 7 5-16 inches deep. It is, apparently, a device (or making change quickly, and may well be the first rudimen tary cash register, one not in tended for other than personal use and convenience, by the maker. A hinged lid opens to give access to 8 cylindrical re ceptacles, each of these lined with a brass tube to hold coins. What makes this piece especial ly fascinating is that in front of the box, where there is a hand knob to be pulled for each coin receptacle, the denominations of the coins in the receptacle are painted on the box. And, includ ed in the usual range of coins from one cent to one dollar, ar-s the two cent and three cent coin variety. When the proper knob is pull ed a coin from the proper tube will fall into the operator's hand via a narrow opening at the bol torn of the box. V. S. Mint Assists The problem ot determining when the change box had been made was difficult, but was solved with the assistance of the Honorable Eva Adams, director of the mint. After studying the inside diameters of the brass tubes the director came up with two dates which set the probable range in which I lie cash box was made. She reported: "Production of the two cent coin ceased in 11172, and, though these coins continued to circu late for some years after the discontinuance of minting, it is unlikely that a manufacturer would have provided for the de nomination in such a device. Furthermore, the five cent piece first was manufactured in lRiifi. Prior to that year, a silver half dime was in use. "It appears, therefore, that the date of construction ot the de vice may have been in the pe riod 18;6 through 1872."

WaVV MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTER Aae 2bt postage lot Mail Ordeit. Sorry No C.O.D.'tj Mrs. Harlan Hosworlh Jr., a most active and earnest worker for the United Nations cause, is in New York this week for the opening session of the UN. In a wire to The Mail Tribune, Mrs. Bosworth said that she had attended the opening session of the General Assembly and that ceremonies had been held to commemorate the second anniversary ot the death of Dag Ham marskjold, former secretary-general. "This session is most important due to the signing of the nuclear test ban treaty and implications awakening interest in human rights," Mrs. Bosworth's wire said. "One hundred and 12 nations will contribute to the United Nations efforts toward ending war forever." Prior to the opening of the General Assembly of the UN, the plenary assembly of the World Federation of United Nations asso ciations was held at UN headquarters. Two hundred delegates from all over the world attended, and divided into four commis sions to work on education and information, political matters, general program, budget, economic and social problems. We read only this morning an editorial in which the writer said persistence is bringing about progress in the desegregation of public schools in this country. Perhaps the same can be said of the UN efforts to bring about world peace persistence is making progress. Not long ago the Manchester Guardian of England reported on the return to that country of Professor Sir Bernard Lovell who had been asked by Russian scientists to act as an inter mediary in arranging East-West discussions on the wisdom of try ing any further to put a man on the moon. Sir Bernard held a press conference after returning to Eng land he had spout three weeks in Russia and said that he would make reports to Lord Hailsham. Minister for Science, and to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in America on the content of talks he had had with the President of the Soviet Academy, the man in scientific charge of Russia's space program. One of Sir Bernard's statements at the press conference struck us as particularly telling. "Three weeks ago 1 would have said that America and Russia were in a life and death struggle. Now 1 believe the Americans are only racing themselves." We know nracticallv nothing about the so-called "race for the moon" but Sir Bernard's remarks could apply to many other facets of American living and to the personal lives of many Americans. We're just "racing ourselves." O S.
