program sponsored by the PTA. Known as the Mummer Roundup, the
pre-srhool eliminations were conducted by local physlrians and dentists,
who donated their lime. The pirtures show, right, Eewls tierber re

"Miners can work yeais and never

'The reaj,ons7 The present reilinit
price on Rold, shortage of labor.
It Hikes 20 days and Incredible
labor to harvest from 35 tons of un

from the refinery.
Iiul Wulker Is weary ol people
who nay:
"Why ko to all that trouble? It
Is JUM Ukcn out of one hole here
and put back Into another hole at
Fori Knox."
Mis reply:
"If the gold wa.sn't mined the
country would soon find out how
important It ts. It has many Indus
trial UJes and there never was a
nation that felt It had enough for
money."
One indication of its value: They
can burn the suit of overalls worn
by a refinery worker here and re
cover enough gold dut to buy three
new suits.
