the measles.
Queen Carole Washburn and
four other princesses—all exposed
to their colleague’s ailment—re
ceived shots of gamma globulin.
A fifth princess, Mary Lou

had measles not long ago.
Miss Gillett, blue eyed, 18 and
covered with blotches, will be able

25-Cent Pieces As
Kennedy Quarters
By FRANK CORMIER
WASHINGTON, (At — Strange
red - and - silver quarters featur
ing George Washington dressed
as a Roman Catholic cardinal are
being widely circulated in some
parts of the country—and there’s
no law against it.
The coins are known as “Ken
nedy quarters” and represent an
elaborate post election prank.
They are named, of course, for
Sen. John Kennedy who on Jan.
20 will become the first Roman
Catholic to serve as President.
Mint officials said the coins are
standard 25-cent pieces doctored
to disguise Washington as a pre
late.
The doctoring is done in any of
several ways. Some of the coins
are painted with red enamel and
some are dressed up with pieces
of red plastic tape in appropriate
shape.
On the “heads” side, Washing
ton’s powdered wig is covered by
a red skull cap called a Zucchetto
(pronounced zoo-kettoh These are
worn by cardinals and stem from
the days when all clerics had ton
sures, or shaved heads. Washing
ton’s shoulders are covered with
a red cassock, a clerical garment
which has an ankle-length skirt.
The mint has no evidence that
“Kennedy quarters” are being
mass produced by any particular
organization. However, officials
are fearful the gag might sweep
the country and botch up the sup
ply of quarters.
Leland Howard, assistant direc
tor of the Bureau of the Mint,
said treasury lawyers can find no
federal law against this type of
coin trickery.
While it may not be against the
law to dress up George Washing
ton, Howard said many banks
may refuse to handle the doctored
quarters.
Tents and Uniforms Available
The Bering Sea District Com
mittee of Boy Scouts has an
nounced that it has a surplus of
tents on hand and some Cub
Scout uniforms available to vil
lages in the district interested in
forming cub packs or having
packs which could use the uni
forms.
Any group interested should
contact Conrad Potter, chairman
for the district.
