VIOLIN FOUND
IN COAL HOLE
WAS TREASURE
Sells for $4,000 When Girl
Decides to Take Up
Music
BY HORTENsE SAUNDERS
(NEA Service Writer)

Rye, N. Y, July 31.-From his
father, John L. Dyer did not inherit
anything in the way Of real estate
or securities, but he did fall heir to
an old violin that he could not play.
And this heritage was promptly
forgotten until his daughter Betty
went artistic and decided she would
like to play like Heifetz.
Dyer vetoed the plan flatly until
he remembered the old instrument,
and decided that if it could be found.
he would clean it up and buy some
new strings. Then it might serve
until Betty had changed her mind
about her career.
Just q Keepsake
After much hunting, the old violin
was found in the coal cellar.
Eve had never taken any care OF
it," Dyer explained, "but you know
you don't just throw away a keep
sake. You see, my father got it
from his dad"
The instrument was duly taken to
Portchester to be reconditioned and
restrung. Inconspicuous and unim-
portant looking it was. No one ever
had noticed the word "Cremona"
burned on the inside.
II never thought Of it having any
value" Dyer went on, "but when the
fellow who fixed it up offered me
$1,000, I was suspicious at once. I
knew it must be worth more. So /
took it to an appraiser in New
York"
After the appraisal and sale were
made and the commissions paid,
Dyer accepted $4,000 as his share.
He doesn't know what became Of
the 200-year-old treasure, but he
thinks it may have been purchased
by Du Pont or Ford. Who got it
is immaterial to him; he got the
money. And Dyer is going to keep
that.
If anyone thinks that he is figur-
ing on how to spend that $57 900 he
is mistaken.
II am" he admitted, "going to
buy Betty q violin, because she really
is responsible for this, and she de-
serves a cut. But q $25 fiddle is just
as good for her as q Strad.

having to buy lot of clothes so as
to be dressed up all day, with lunches
and extras all the time.'
| The windfall, however, did give
dyer a chance to indulge in one reck-
less extravagance-he resigned from
the Rye police force, and now is
available to drive cars for those whc
have them and want them driven.
/ Dyer has no car himself, but he
covets one and believes q "chear
bus" may be one extravaganza that
will be economical in the long run
because you can make money with q
car.

he buys an inexpensive little home
