Pleasant Mills Lady Conducts Drive Against "White-Pennies"

Mrs. James Halberstadt had a two-fold purpose in contributing 311.32 to the building fund of the I’nlon Chapel Evangelical United Brethren church yesterday. The Pleasant Mills lady brought the money to Thurman I. Drew, who has been aidfbg in the collection of contributions, and said that the amount represented an equal sum she had collected in “false pennies.” She and her husband sell candies. gum, etc. especially for children, at the Halberstadt garage in Pleasant Mills, she said, and they have often been given the ’’white pennies" for dimes. So she ha, started a campaign of her own to eliminate the substitutes for the old copper penny • and every time she gets one she puts it aside. Then at various intervals she takes them to the bank and exchanges them for other currency. She has exacted the promise of born at 1:20 am. this morning at the Adams county memorial hospital. She weighed 8 pounds, 2‘A ounces and has l.een named Sue Ann. — ■ - «... 0 .

"Much has been said about stamping out juvenile delinquency." she declared, “Azid many thing.- have been li.-ted as causesbilt I believe this one thing Would be as gr<at a eontributing factor as any. "The temptation of passing the ‘white pennies’ for dimes seems to be too much for some youngsters to resist,” I* her belief. “I feel that by doing this 1 am killing two birds with one stone taking the white pennies out of circulation and helping a goml cause In doing so." was her final conclusion.

Wyatt said teachers with four years’ college training would receive 32.400 as a minimum salary under the bill. Thrce-years train ing would bring 32.300 and two years 32.000.
