THE WALKING
BLOOD BANK
The blood typing program now
in progress is one civic program
in which every person should par
ticipate.
First, it is a means of saving
lives of friends, neighbors, fam
ily and even persons whom you
do not know, and secondly you
never know when you or mem
bers of your family might need
the walking blood bank yourself.
Also by having a complete rec
ord at the hospital of blood types
much time can be saved in time
of emergency or accident, espe
cially if several people are in
jured at the same time.
It takes but a few minutes, but
may mean life or death to some
one some day.

ELECTRONIC WONDER
Our eyes popped when we read
that there is one electronic ma
chine in Washingtin that can
translate a hundred or so words
a minute from the Russian into
English. The machine cost $6 mil
lion. One of the first things that
was fed into it was a poem from
the Russian paper Pravda. We do
not know what the poem was sup
posed to contain. A secret code?
Something we should break and
know? Here is what the “elec
tronic brain” produced:
“Not in the reception-room, no,
not house. Day. And two. And
five. Where it, predrayispokoma?
It, in, way again. What it own
hut.”
What is the hidden meaning?
Please ask us not. Eor all we
know it may mean: We Like Ike.

GOLD . . .
(Continued from Page One)
tinue. The Treasury now has $18.5 j
billion in gold. In 1949 it had $24
billion.
The free market in gold in Lon
don isn’t a big one. Through it
the British Treasury sells newly
mined gold from South Africa
and Australia. And on it private
gold holdings can be traded. The
Russians have apparently made
use of it through Swiss bankers
when it suited Soviet purposes.
But most of the gold outside
Russian hands is held by the
United States and the govern
ments and central banks of the
nonCommunist world.
Price Reached $60 in 1952
If these banks stick by the U.S.
Treasury’s stand, the gold rush
in London may prove just another
of the passing ones—the last big
one was in 1952, when black mar
ket prices went to $55 an ounce,
with rumors of it's having touched
$60.
The U.S. official price of $35
an ounce was set in 1934. Before
that it was $20.67. Since 1934
American citizens haven’t been al
lowed to buy or hold gold ex
cept for use in the arts and in
dustries. Last year 2.5 million
ounces were bought for such use
either directly from the Treasury
or from dealers licensed by the
Treasury.
In Superior Court the case of
Wm. Gillis vs. the Women’s Divi*'
sion of Christian Service was dis
missed with prejudice.
