NEW YORK I Looking lor
some easy money?
"Go for a treasure hunt in your
own home," advises Hans M. F.
Schulman, one of the world's larg
est dealers In rare coins.
"Some people have valuable col
lections of old coins and paper
nionev and don't know it money
left behind by earlier members of
the family and kept as souvenirs."
Most of this is worth only its
face value, but old coins and bills
that are rare and in good condition
are sky-rocketing. That is because
the number of American numis
matists as coin collectors cull
themselves has jumped from 25,
000 to about 50,000 in recent years.
"Paper money today is heavily
collected because old coins are get
ting scarcer," said Schulman.
"Old U.S. bills are in particular
demand. Those dated from 1862
up to 1879 are worth at least double
their face value, even In poor con
dition, and often much more."
Around 1875 the mint pulled a
boner and let get Into circulation
more than 100 bills printed 50 on
the front and 8100 on the back.
"There are probably a number
of these lost or hidden away in at
tics or other places," said Schul
man. "And they are worth today
more than $1,000 each."
Confederate money also is en
Joying a mild boom, but it still is
considerably more anemic than the
standard Yankee dollar, even in the
South.
"A 8500 Confederate government
bill that used to brine 81 now may
cell up to 84," said Schulman and
added:
"But, please don't send me any.
They, printed too many." 1
Schulman, whose family for three
generations have been coin dealers
to kings and commoners around
the world, came here from Amster
dam In 1939. The Nazis seized and
killed his father and mother.

2. Such shows "stereotype" Ne

3. Such shows "stereotype" Ne

with little ambition, and with in
sufficient intelligence to do more
than "cotton picking," and the
sinelna- of "spirituals."
4. American Negroes would ap

Negroes as human beings with the

5. Such shows reach young peo

minds a picture of the American
Negro which is inconsistent with
the facts of the Negroes' contribu

American Negroes, in such

What is the difference between
kings and ordinary coin collectors?
"Kings have a keener sense of

calls for a minimum of 900 trained
first-aiders in this county. The
American Red Cross has been
asked to train volunteers under
this .program and Is more than
willing to do so, but two things
are essential volunteers who will
devote at least 18 hours to basic
training and a small number who
will give up more time to take
advanced training, and become in
structors. Even though we may never have
a national emergency which should
materially effect this area, a know
ledge of first aid is of value to
everybody thousands of lives are
saved every year by people who
are training to know what to do,
and how to do it and thousands
die because others ' do not know
what to do.

WASHINGTON 10 - Ren. Jack

the House Interior Annronrlatlonx
subcommittee would approve his
request that no funds be granted

The subcommittee, of which
Jackson is a member, now is near-

full Appropriations Committee and
men to the House of Representa

It would connect the Bonneville
Power Administration system of

The budget proDOsed that 8900.

million dollars be granted to Cen

"I predict that the committee
will approve my request for the
elimination oi funds for the lnter

"This action would be consistent
with the committee's action the

that this involves a basic question

Spring has sprung with a bang.
If you don't believe it come ou

Every year we welcome this
flood of calls grateful in the knowl

The fact that robins along with
several other species of non-game
birds make their home here . all

But rest assured of one thing:
Spring is here!

"Please settle this argument,"
requests a Canadian reader. "Both
sides needed 120 points to meld.
The opponents had melded, but
our side had not. The player at
my right took the discard pile and
discarded a seven.
"By this time mv hand consisted
of five sevens, five fours', and a
deuce. I put down my entire hand,
claiming that I could meld out
concealed with the meld of five
fours together with a mixed ca
nasta of sevens.
"The opponents said I did not
have my count of 120 points since
the whole meld counted only 70
points-, including the discarded
seven. I replied that the count was
waived when a player melded out
concealed.

Just repetition. Nobody would budge

The opponents were right. You
Ire not allowed to pick up the dis
card pile for the initial meld un
less you can produce the minimum
count. '
- The fact that no minimum count
Is needed for a concealed meld-out
has no bearing on the matter. You
can't meld out unless you meld,
and you can't meld with the aid
of the discard pile unless you can
produce the minimum count.
The situation would be different
if yopr partner had already melded
In that case you would not need
a minimum count. Then you would
be entitled to pick' ud the discarded
seven and meld out with a con
cealed hand. ' -
The situation -would-be different.

Harking back to the fouled up

up a newspaper tnese aays you
read about another congressional
probe. The latest, authorized ycs -
lerday. is for 8100.000 to back an
inquiry into the actions of the
Alien Property office. This is the
office that was in hot water a few
3eks ago when some tlme-on-hts-
hands senator wondered If they
nad done anything illegal. Seems
spin up the profits. Doubt if there
is a hundred thousand dollars
worth of stuff left now.
But anyway heres a suggestion.
Why don't we change our present
setup? Instead of electing one sen
ator and one representative from
each district elect two of each-
That way we'll have one man to
serve on congressional investiga
tion boards and another to enact
legislation. Should speed up the
progress in Washington a good
deal. And look how much faster
we could spend the tax-payers
money, too.
With a war as inevitable as
dealh and taxes a curious thought
occurs to us. Will future genera-
rVins, in reading about the "great
war to end all wars" read of the
attack on our country by atom
bombers and remark that the pop
ulatlons of our great cities were
atomized?
Notes in the news: Klamath
Falls made a little headway in the
fight for publicity. The March is
sue of Westways, Just off the

In which Klamath is mentioned.
The yarn was done by a girl
harped Patrice Manahan who was
one of a group of travel editors
who visited us last fall. They were
wined (on Eastern beer) and dined
(at the yacht club) by a repre
sentative group of business and
professional men, filled full of the
history and outlook of the Basin
and sent on their way. Ring up
another one for the area.
Thanks to all the people who
phoned in yesterday morning to
tell us a herd of deer were wan
dering through town. We did our
best to find 'em, but without suc
cess. I fear me the modern world
has lost the touch when It comes
to stalking game. Tracks were
seen, yes, but the deer, in their
own curious, wralthtike way, had
gone back to whence they came.
I recalled to my mind an evening
r? some fifteen or more years
ago when I stood on ninth street
and watched the police shoot a
black bear out of a tree. I thought
at the time we were living pretty
close to - the - wilderness. And It's
