HISTORY (Continu'd from Page One) First Paper Money The first real bills, recognized as such, are the Kwan notes, printed in China by the Kwan dynasty in 1368 A.D. on the bark of a mulberry tree, used for paper at that time? They were about as large as a regular sheet of typing paper. In Europe, paper money was introduced to confound the highway robbers. With no police-force er armored cars, shipments between merchants were prey to every Ibeal robber baron. So, the rher" chants started depositing their large sums with goldsmiths in their safes; they then took a signed receipt, redeemable by the holder for cash, with them. This was then given to the trader in distant cities, and was redeemable by him, or others with whom he traded. But the receipts, like a SIO,OOO bill today, had to be presented by someone of substance to be given payment. U. 8. Cotas The first coin minted in the U.S. was a penny minted in 1793; the first nickel was made in 1883, and nickels, by the way, are 75% copper, 25% nickel, he injected: the first quarter, 1796: the first half dollar, 1794: and the last silver dollar in 1935. Congress wisely provided that the faces of coins were not to be changed more often than everv 25 years: thus, the Liberty nickel in iBB3. the Buffalo nickel in 1913; the Jefferson nickel in 1938. Other interesting coins minted at one time or another in the U.S. are half-pennies, two cent and three cent pieces, half-dimes, ten cent pieces, 20 cent pieces, 50 cent pieces. Gold Coins A full display of gold coins was shown, as well as silver and other coins. Krueckeberg explained how the gold was called in in 1933 when people got the idea that they should “hold on to” their gold, and commerce was stifled. The motto, “In God we Trust” was put on all U. S. coins starting during the Civil War, when a minister pointed out to secretary of the treasury Salmon P. Chase that ‘‘if we lost, future generations might think we were a Godless people.” $183.13 Each Enough money is now in circulation for every person to have $183.13, Krueckeberg stated. He showed bills from the old First National Bank were were signed, as then prescribed by law, by C. A. Dugan, T. F. Graliker, and P. W. Smith, bankers here at that time. Not age, but rarity and the desire of the market for a particular coin or bill, determines its value, he said. Coins minted in 1960 may be far more valuable than an issue a hundred years old, he added. The United States is the only country that stands behind every issue of its money ever made, he said. This means that any coin, regardless of age or issue, can be turned in for its cash value if it is not mutilated, and the same is true of bills. The difference between mint coins. profit coins, and regular coins, from the viewpoint of a collector, was then explained, together with what should be done if money is totally or partially destroyed. The program lasted approximately an hour.

ASTRONAUT (Continued from Page One) atxnit the control problem and i “ was expected to dwell at length on the mysterious “glowing particles” he spotted over the California coast. His program today included a complete examination of vision, Drain and nerve reactions, and the results will be compared with identical tests made before he was launched into space by an Atlas rocket. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was scheduled to fly to this little island today, and on Friday will accompany Glenn back to Cane Canaveral where the trailblazing astronaut will receive the personal plaudits of President There was speculation that the President might decorate Glenn’ or promote him from lieutenant colonel to colonel. .In Washington, government readers said the astronaut’s flight had boosted the nation’s morale and might be a strong influence qn nations torn between the East and West. Praise of his feat flowed in from all over the world. And in Arlington, Va., his wife and two dhildren glowed with pride. Mrs. Glenn celebrated by having champagne with friends. Aside from fatigue, skinned knuckles and a touch of seasickness while his capsule bobbed in the sea, the astronaut suffered no apparent ill effects during the flight. Big Washington Reception Monday or Tuesday, the freckled Marine pilot will go to Washington for a White House visit, a parade to the Capitol and a congressional reception. Glenn was flown to this little British possession in the Bahamas from the Atlantic landing area where his capsule Friendship 7 splashed down after 4 hours and 56 minutes as America’s first manned satellite. “I’m fine, wonderful, couldn't feel better,” he told a smal i group on hand to greet him. But Tie was hungry, and immediately ordered a steak when he entered the small hospital set up for him here. _ His country and the rest of the world applauded Glenn’s historic flight, which followed delays and disappointments dating all the \|ay back to December. Speaks With President The President, who watched television coverage of the flight, told Glenn by telephone later: “Colonel, we are really,proud of Jpu and I must say you •did a wonderful job." ’ * Mr. President,’’ t tiw Marine lieutenant colonel replied. During a good part of his mission, the astronaut had manual control of his spacecra/t. This bes came necessary because of a malfunction in the automatic pitch, roll and yaw system. '“Crlenn reported during his flight that he felt no ill effects. The view was beautiful, he said. And he reported during re-entry into the atmosphere, when the outside of his capsule reached about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit: "Boy, what a fireball.” The asjropaut's Atlas-Mercury vehicle leaped into a clear blue sky from Cape Canaveral, Fla. at 9:47 a.m. EST Tuesday. Minutes later he was reported in orbit. Picked Up by Destroyer Things went so well that officials decided to let Glenn try for the full three scheduled orbits. He made it in beautiful fashion, landing in the Atlantic about 800 miles southeast of the space-port at 2:43 p.m. EST. Eighteen minutes later the destroyer Noa, about six miles away when he landed, hooked onto the capsule with an old-fashioned block and tackle and hauled the happy astronaut aboard. But Glenn skinned his knuckles helping the crew remove a stubborn b ulkhead barring his exit from the capsule. A short time later, the astronaut was taken to the aircraft carrier Randolph. He rested, had a physical exam and dined on filet mignon. r -- He landed at Grand Turk Island at 9:11 p.m. EST, wearing blue coveralls and sneakers. He told his greeting party: “It was aa long day— and a very interesting one, too,” COUNCIL (Contmuec from Page One) from the water department improvement fund to the park department fund, which is now depleted, and will remain so until spring taxes come in. The loan is for a period up to December 28 of this year. A short discussion was held on a letter from Adrian Coffee, 503 N. Fifth street, concerning downtown parking. The letter contained a story from a Fort Wayne newspaper concerning Bluffton’s parking problem in the downtown area, and how about 60 per cent of the downtown parking places are used by the merchants themselves. Following the reading and allowing of the bills, the council adjourned until the next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, March 6.

License Suspended Indefinite Period Larry L.

The suspension became effective Jan. 23, and was due to matters appearing on cord-points-ANSWER (Continued from Page One) should be accepted willingly in all establishments serving food for human consumption. “We hope that the following questions and answers will be helpful in the interpretation of the food establishment ordinance and the inspection of the food service departments in religious, educational and charitable institutions, Dr. Terveer said. 1. Question: Are religious, educational and charitable institutions required to have permits? Answer: (Yes), The local ordinance states that it shall be unlawful for any person to operate a food establishment or itinerant food establishment in the City of Decatur, Indiana, who does not posses a valid permit from the Health Officer. 2. Question: Are religious, educational and charitable institutions required to pay permit fees? Answer: (No). Permit fee provisions of the ordinance do not apply to food establishments and itinerant food establishments operated' by reglious, educational and charitable institutions. 3. Question: What is a food handler? Answer: Any person who handles food during preparation or serving, or who comes in contact with any eating or cooking utensils, or who is employed in a room/ or rooms in which food is prepared or served. 4. Question: Are food handlers working in the food service department in religious, educational and charitable institutions required to, have food handlers’ permits? Answer: (No) The demand of an’ individual participating in a food service activity does not occur daily. However, the health department encourages all persons intending to be employed as 'food handler in religious, educational and charitable instructions to obtain a chest X-ray from the Adams County Tuberculosis Association Mobile X-ray Cruiser. Food Establishments? 5. Question: Are religious, educational and charitable institutions j which serve food considered food: establishments? Answer: (Yes) They are considered the same as hny other food establishment in the community. They fall in this category in the in Section A of the Ordinance. 6. Question: Are food service facilities in religious, educational and charitable institutions going to be inspected by the health department? Answer: (Yes). The health department has extended its sanitation program through the local ordinance to the food facilities of all organizations. Most Meet Law? 7. Question: Will food facilities! provided by religious, educational and charitable institutions have to ! meet all sanitation requirements? Answer: (Yes), Food facilities provided by religious, educational and charitable institutions shall comply with minimum sanitary requirements specified by the Indiana State Board of Health as now provided In its Regulation H. F. D. 17 or as the same may be hereafter changed or amended. Regulation H F. D. 17 is incorporated in the Food Establishment ordinance. 8.

cational and charitable institutions serve home-prepared foods? Answer: No. Indiana State Board of Health Regulations H. F. D. 17, states none of the operations connected with a food establishment shall be conducted in any room which opens directly into living or sleeping quarters. Home-prepared Foods 9. Question: What is the danger of home-prepared foods? Answer: Food prepared in so many diferent environments and surroundings is difficult to control. Foods prepared in homes also have been given the opportunity to be contaminated by communicable or other disease organisms. This is unintentional, of course, but unknowingly these organisms may exist in the home. If they find their way into the foods being prepared, they could in turn be conveyed to the group of ultimate consumers. As a result of this type of reasoning, the health department states “no home-prepared foods to be served.” 10. Question: Will banquets, dinners, bake sales and social gatherings be prohibited? Answer: No. It is not the thought of the health department to prohibit religious, educational and charitable institutions from scheduling banquest, dinners or social gathering involved in the serving of food. It is felt that if such a gathering is held, the establishment and its facilities should comply with the sanitation requirements. How To Do It 11. Question: Where can the food be prepared or purchased by religious .educational and charitable institutions? Answer: Prepare foods in a*central location. This location should be the kitchen or possibly a community kitchen with the proper facilities which have been approved by the health department. All food purchased must come from an es-

tablishment approved by the health department. 12. Question: Would it be wise for religious, educational and charitable institutions to submit construction plans to the Health Officer? Answer: Yes. This would insure compliance with sanitary requirements. This would also prevent any misunderstanding by the operator as to what is required, errors to be corrected later, possibly with great reluctance on the part of the operator, considerable cast, and inconvenience to all concerned. __ ~ Fort Wayne, Ind.
