Campers Leave
Many Articles
Mrs. L. A. Chandler, chair-
man of Kermit Girl Scout Neigh-
borhood Association and director
of the recently ended day camp,
is issuing an appeal to camp-
ers who left items at camp.
There’s quite an accumulation
of various things, Mrs. Chandler
reports, and she wants to get
them where they belong some-
time this week. She plans to
be out of town early next week.
were are pocket knives, bed
roira, a cot and mattress, pil-
lows . . , others, big and little.
Scout leaders have no way of
knaRring who the owners of these
properties are and ask that those
who are missing items call 6-4700
or come by 319 North Ash and
identify their equipment.

The above picture and under-
lines from Coin World give you
a good picture of how our future
coins probably will be put to-
gether. Only fittin* name I can
think of for them is Hamburger
Coins , . . . copper sandwiched
between coatings of nickel. ,
The future coins arej to be
the same size as those we know
. »;. except they won’t contain
silver. You know, it’s beep some-
thing to figure out what and how
to make this change.
There are millions and mil-
lions of vending machines ,in ,this
land which are set up to ? re-
ject slugs and otljer things Ameri-
cans are known to use for . . .
well, for cheating purposes. ”
Among other things, the new
coins will have to meet full
approval of these man-made ma-
chines.

Tops for Teens
By JEAN SPRAIN WILSON
AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK (AP)-—- After a few scary years, the mil-
linery industry has won its campaign to put hats back
on the often-washed, sbmetimes teased, occasionally
brushed crowning glories of teen-age girls.
Unquestionably, the campaign
was necessary lest a generation or at least licensing them for
of hat haters inherit the future, teen-age use.
Besides, isn’t everybody fight- The people who really know,

Bible is out with a double-barrel-
ed shotgun. If his bill passes
(and prediction is that action
would be taken before the July
4 recess) you can’t even legal-
ly keep that silver dollar which
has been in the family for gene-
rations . . . not unless the Treas-
ury decrees it is ”rare”.
“Write! Write! Write! Write
your congressman and senators
today. Tell them in your own
words that you oppose the Bible
bill because it could spell the
death sentence to coin collecting,
<me of the nation’s finest hob-
bies!”
This urgent appeal went out
today from the United Coin Col-
lectors Alliance to every per-
son in the hobby who believes
government intervention outlined
in the Bible bill would cripple
and kill coin collating in the
United States.
The Bible bill, first introduced
by Sen. Alan Bible (D-Nev.) and
later backed by four other sena-
tors, would mean high fines and
prison if: Coin collections are

The United Coin Collectors
Alliance moved into high gear
in its fight to protest legislative
measures such as the Bible bill,
according to Chester A. Krause,
lola, Wis., numismatic publisher,
and its director of communica-
tions.
The 12-member organizing
volunteer committee, headed by
Harry Forman, Philadelphia, as
president, and guided by Man-
ford Minzer Jr., Washington

cial telephone hook-up Friday,

Young People
Like Decorated
Screens
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfeatures Writer
Temporary room dividers,
such as decorated screens,
work out much better than
more solid types - paneling
or grille w;ork — for young
people.
The light screens are less ex-
pensive' than others, may be
carted from one apartment to an-
other or taken away to college
and easily rejuvenated when one
gets bored with the look.
One girl has used a screen
through many stages — art ef-
forts in grade school, covered
one side of each panel with
Christmas cards at another time,
with wallpaper to match her
room at another.
These days the aim is avant-
garde something different
— tested and approved by the
tasie formers. Whatever is done
must show style and artistic
glow.
Bachelors and career girls
use dividers to give an illusion
of intimacy to small quarters,
making a niche of the dining or
sleeping area.
Handsome screens of creative
stitchery on canvas with oc-
casional patches of fabric rem-
nants may add “OP,” the
optical art look, to a room. But
it takes time to plan such an
effort and when privacy is
needed, there is impatience to
have the thing done while you
are still young.
Screens decorated with stick-
on vinyls may give you a
fashionable personalized divider
in minutes. These patterns are
easy to apply — you simply cut
the vinyl to fit the screen panels,
pull off the brown paper covering
on the back which protects the
self-adhesive part and touch the
pattern on smoothly.
One new patterri, “News-
print,” is ideal for young folk.
The smart black and white
decorative vinyl is a series of
amusing advertisements from
turn of the century publications.
The design pattern seems to go
with any style furniture or no-
style furniture.
PARENTHOOD POST
