Regardless of why, the fact re-
mains that dollar bill takes more
beating than a rug, so much SO
that Ell Centro's two banks ship
out thousands of dollars worth of
mutilated Or Soiled bills every month.
The Security First National re-
ported an average of $4,000 in cur
rency a week that has to be taken
out of circulation. The Bank of
America reported a regular $1,000
month in mutilated bills picked
up, with probably considerably more
currency taken out from regular
shipments to the federal reserve
branch in Los Angeles.
Lifetime Varies
Neither John Rhodes, chief clerk
Of the Bank of America branch, nor
Louis Slee, chief clerk of the Sc
curity First National, cared to esti-
mate the life of a dollar bill.
1T probably varies a great deal,
Rhodes said. 81 have seen bills go
out almost new one day and come
back in a few hours as disreputable
as a ragman's dog.
The mortality rate is highest
in summertime when perSpiration
soaks bill folds, and that is when
bills really take beating, especially
when carried by workers in the
fields"
Strangely enough, El Centrans like
their dirty money, Slee explained
this:
eve have some accounts, chiefly
merchants, who won't take new
bills. The reason is that fresh, star
chy bills are more likely to stick
together and two bills be counted
out instead Of one"
Covering Up
Rhodes volunteered the most nov
el means of wear and tear on bills.
Several times I have seen bills
come in with holes worn in them
that show they had been used
inside a shoe to cover a hole in
the sole!" he said.
Tastes in money vary Just as
surely as womans fashions, the
bankers agreed.
II used to be, when gambling
was wide open below the line. we
did a big business in silver dollars
AT the same time, people liked cart
WheeLs more and often asked for
them Slee declared. ''Now. how
ever the public has swung away
ana prefer bills. Numerically, the
Dill most often favored is of course
the one dollar, but for actual Lopu-
Iarlty the five dollar takes the nod.
For no apparent reason, the ten
is the least popular"
On the intriguing subject of coun-
terfeit both agreed that the touch"
system is the best in Spotting phony

iably fail in the quality of TN

Bench Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

Is it desirable to eliminate boys
olders than 19 years from high
school athletic activities?
Seth Van Patten, high mogul in
the California interscholastic fed
Grafton. says yes, and he made
rule to make all boys over 19 years
Of age ineligible for high school
athletic competition.
In other sections, however, there
is some agitation against the rule.
Some coaches even hint that Van
Patten rassed the rule because his
high school squad lost a couple OF
games 20 teams which boasted older
players on its roster.
In any event Van Patten issued
a long statement when the rule was
made N which he pointed out that
the rule was established to reduce
injury to high school football play
erS
Most injuries to high school foot
ball players in the past few years
have oeen recorded in scrimmage
sessions among players Of the same
school, according to a survey by
this corner.
Other serious injuries have come
as a result of rule violations in
high school games. Clipping, piling
on, rodghing the kicker, and slug
gine have contributed most heavily.
About the only thing the rule
does. that this columnist can see,
is 10 decrease the attraction of high
school football in the state.
Elimination OF injuries to play
ers through competition with much
heavier and bigger opponents can
be controlled by coaches of football
teams.
The only time schools run into
bigger and rougher opponents Is
when games are scheduled against
teams with larger student bodies.
Eliminate the matching Of small
schools against the larger schools
and Van Patterns goal will be reach
ed without eliminating a group OF
high school students from activity
in athletics.
