Getting Tired Os The Chronic Critics By FRANK A. WHITE As an individual, and many good citi -.ens feel the same, I am fed-up wit 1 chronic critics, who keep shoating: 11 Ours is a sick society. 2) We should feel a guilt complex over shooting of Dr. Martin Luther King and U. S. Senator Bobby Kennedy. 3) The USA is wrong while foreign nations who bleed us white

I Dr. King was slain by a punk, a bad kid. This nation is full of good boys and girls who never get in the headlines. I anj not responsible for kidnapping Africans and selling them as slaves, f recognize the Negro's plight and will do all I can without violence to remedy it.

U. S._ Senator Birch Bayh, Jr., Made this plea. It was that WE “replace fear with faith in our society td deal with the challenge of dot times peaceably and vWtßout viotoriCe.’ AnSerica is a crucible of Crises, pockets of lawlessness,' poverty, and evil.

HO got through the greatest volume of legislation of any president. 'Phene have" been blunders and waste,' but I know Social Security and many things done, are for the good. President Johnson had all he could take, since we load our Presidents with more than a human can stand. A change to a Humphrey or a Nixon can work for the good. Robert Rock and Edgar Whitcomb, vying to be governor, are both conservatives. To my thinking, it is no calamity that Chief Justice Earl Warren of the U. S. Supreme Court has heard the groundswell frorii Congress and the public and is resigning. We have appropriated more for education than in any century in history. The consumer goods we can buy is a fairyland compared to other less fortunate nations. I am convinced we are emerging from the trauma of student violence, permissibility, black power, and such ordeals rivalling prohibition and jazz age. Congress is talking economy, spurred on by an angry public. Despite such deterring episodes as the Poverty March on Washington, progress is moving steadily ori, toward equality, and bettering the sorry lot 6f the Negro. Nothing can stop it. I am proud of the American

I am a millionaire 1 ” just to be a citizen of the USA. Tales From A long Bow ! earlV American money Phe Spaniards bad rifints operating in the Americas from very early days but very few coins were issued by foreign powtens for use in Colonial North America despite need arid demand. European settlers depended ori the few coins brought with them and as a consequence trading was done by barter and in many cases, by use of Indian wampum. Payment for imports drained the scant money Supply and it remained a constant problem Until long after the establishment of the United Sta-teS mint. So what coins did they use? The first British “colonial” pieces known to be issued Were Sommers Islands (Bermuda) base metal coins struck in 1616. They were in denominations of shillings, “portholes” and various pence® and became known as “hoggies”. In -1652 the first mint in the colonies was established by Massachusetts Bay people (Boston) under John Hull and Robert Sanderson. Here were produced “New England” shillings, six and three pences, followed by “Tree” issues known as Willow, Oak and Pine. All also became known as “Boston” money. There w|s a Lord Baltimore coinage for Maryland in 1658. In the late 17th century Carolina and New England “elephant tokens”, “American Plantation” and “New England stiver” pieces appeared but they were not circulated much. England did send America three tokens which were originally meant to be used in Ireland but were not popular there because of British origin. These pieces were known as St. Patrick halfpence and farthings. Englishman William Wood obtained a patent and struck some American Rose and Wood’s coinage pieces about 1722-1733. A John Higley of Connecticut issued pure copper coins privately in Granby, from 1737-1739. And

there were various coins and tokens issued by and others to help alleviate the Shortage. Coins weTO imported from foreign powers. In 177$ England permitted a Virginia halfpence. Came the Revolution and England no longer controlled the colonies ,their businesses, manufacturing and Coinage. New Hampshire, in 1779, was first to adthorae a copper coin, followed closely by Massachusetts. A- Continental doßar-sized coin was authorized by the Congress but it and the Massachusetts piece never got much beyortd the pattern stage. Following the American Revolution, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey and poe&JWy New York granted coinage concessions to private individuals and various strikings occurred up to the time of the Mint. In titfi add ’s, Massachusetts Had its own mint hut it Was a loss and abandoned. fcongress had sohib coftpifefs called “Fugio (or Frririkfiri) Cents” struck, beginning in 1787 and they make Interesting coHeetdfs’ items today. Also, in 1787, one Ephraim Brasher made a tew gold doubloons, the only gold pieces, perhaps struck in the tJnited States before the Mint began. Brasher doubloons are quite rare and expensive now, their value not even quoted in catalogues. Some silver pieces were struck in the 1780 sand 90s by tradesmen but they are scarce today —and quite valuable. Then too there were a number of private tokens (many made in England) bearing names such as Gonstelations, Confederation, Auction Plebis, Kentucky Cents, Washington and Georgius Triumpho (he was a very popular guy), Excelsiors, Motts, Eagles, Bar Cents and on ad infinitum. Many counterfeiters operated about file countryside and it was a good, sharp feather merchant who knew what to do when someone handed him a coin. So many imitation British halfpence were around they earned a name—“Bungtowns.” And unscrupulous fellows got hold of genuinely authorized dies and went right on

striking with them using lightweight metal. The mint began to change aTf the lftoney mess, a good deal of the counterfeiting arid bungtownlrig and for many years we had money worth almost its intrinsic value that is until the year 1985 wheri our government Itself got into the “Bghtweighting” business by striking the ever-growing supply' of “sandwich” money we are Wow using. Have yori noticed how the lightweight stuff is driving Out good old solid coins of yesteryear? Stiver coins, according to Gresham’s Law, will soon lie non-existent ifi the rnarket place.
