COINS GETTING SCARCE
Coins are becoming more and
more scarce every day in the
United State And it's mostly
because of coin collectors, pig-
gy bank savers and others of
the citizenry who can't be posi-
tively identified.
What they' are doing is sim-
ply, hoarding coins Mostly it’s
nickels and pennies that are in
serious short supply. And it’s
got to the point where bank
tellers either argue or are forc-
ed to “ration" coins.
But it’s not just the fault of
collectors and piggybank sav-
ers Vending machines for ciga-
rettes, candy and soft drinks
gobble up coins which may be
out of circulation for days or
even weeks until collected
Meanwhile, the government
mints in Philadelphia and Den-
ver are working full tilt to ex-
pand the in-circulation coin
supply—

LEGION MEETING SEATED
The American Legion Auxili-
ary will hold its regular meet-
ing on Sept 12 at 7:30 p m. at
the home of Mrs Henry Hamff.
VETERANS TO MEET
World War I voter;ins will
have their regular meeting on
Saturday, Sept ,7 at 2:30 pm
at the Court House All mem-
bers are asked to be there
to the new elementary school
by the local American Legion
Tuesday afternoon at a special
assembly.
Alfred Krause, commander of
the Legion Post, spoke to the
student body on the significance
of the United States flag.
After the assembly, the flag
was immediately raised on the
flag pole in front of the school
where the stars and stripes will
fly each school dav.
PRINCIPAL ELTON PARCH-
MAN was pleased with opening
day at the colored school ex-
cept for the turnout which is
'expected to rise about 75 in a
few weeks when working stud-
ents start attending.
------* * —
large groups of people get to-
gether in one building. Such
will be the case in the County
schools.
Surveys also show that
youngsters of elementary school
age have five times as many
colds as grownups and that
colds continue to be the major
factor in school absences.
If there’s one cold in the
bunch, it swiftly spreads to
others. No doubt that's why
they call this medical mystery
the "common cold." The kids
take their new-found infec-
tions home, and pretty soon,
everybody’s got a runny nose.

So there is very little a school

kid can do but try to keep his
resistance up. And grownups
should get out some warm
clothing for the chill fall days,
plan a good, nourishing diet and
try to see the fellow who has a
cold before he sees you!
That ounce of prevention is
still better than a pound of cure.
