Kiavanis Club Members See
"Kn0ev Your Money" Film

Members of the Kiwanis club
met for their regular noon-day
luncheon in the Masonic temple,
Monday, Dec. 9. The program
was under the direction of r. d.
Smith, president and cashier of
The Licking County bank.
Through MIR. Smiths efforts a
talking movie film, procured
from the United States Secret
service in cooperation with the
treasury department, was pro-
jected by c. H. Huth.
The film was educational, in
asmuch as it had for its theme,
"Know Your Money" The pic
ture is designed to instruct cit
liens against the twin dangers
of counterfeit money and gov
ernment check forgery.
AS depicted by the film there
are three types of currency, Fed
eral Reserve notes, bearing
green serial numbers and seal;
United States notes, which bear
red numbers and seal, and Sill
yer certificates, carrying blue
numbers and seal.
Portraits of various denomin-
ations of bills are as follows;

The "Messiah"
At Denison Univ.
Saturday, Dec. IA

For the 36th annual perform
ances of HandePs Messiah, to
be given in Swasey chapel, Den
ison university, Granville, Ohio,
Saturday, Dec. IA, 7:30 p. M,
and Sunday, Dec. Is, 2:30 p. M,
a quartet of soloists from Phil
adelphia has been engaged: Bar
bara Troxell, soprano, was the
winner for Pennsylvania of the
Federation of Music clubs con-
test, and has both bachelor and
masters degrees in voice. She
has studied with Elizabeth Schu-
mann and appeared as operate
and church soloist in various
eastern cities.
Donald Coker, tenor, is soloist
at the First Baptist church of
Philadelphia, and is experienced
in oratorio.
Robert Grooters, bass, is a
graduate of Curtis institute and
director of music at the First
Presbyterian church of Philadel-
phia. A chorus of 200 singers
and an orchestra of so will join
with the soloists under the direc-
tion of Karl Eschman, with Bray
ton Stark at the organ. AS usual
these performances are given as
a Christmas gift to the COM
munity and there is no charge
for admission. Each year an in
creasing number of visitors
drive to Granville for these per-
formances.

Washington on 81 bills, Jeffer-
son on So, Lincoln on $5, Ham
ilton on $40, Jackson on 500,
Grant on $50, and Franklin on
all $100 bills.
There are several methods of
detecting counterfeit bills, first
being comparison of the por-
trait. The genuine is lifelike,
stands out from oval background
which is a fine screen of regu-
lar lines; notice particularly the
eyes. The counterfeit is dull,
smudgy or unnaturally white;
scratchy; background is dark
with irregular or broken lines.
Other things to be scrutinized
are the paper, serial numbers.
etc. Genuine bills are printed
on distinctive paper containing
very small red and blue silk
threads. Serial numbers are
genuine distinctive style, firm
ly and evenly printed. The coun-
terfeit is different, poorly print
ed, badly spaced, uneven, brok-
en- off.
Suspected coins should be rung
on a hard surface. Genuine
coins sound clear and bell
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1940-12-12

counterfeits sound dull. Feel
all coins. Most counterfeit coins
feel greasy. The ridges on gen
uine coins are distinct and even
ly spaced. Cut the edge of sus-
pected counterfeit coins-most
of them are of soft metal and
can be easily cut with a knife.
One of the important things
covered by the film was the
millions of treasury checks
issued by the government. Many
are stolen from letter boxes or in
other ways. Some are forged.
The best prevention is to know
the endorsers, and require good
Identification.
Storekeepers should compare
the number and signature on the
card with the number opposite
payee's name on check and with
the endorsement. A check far
removed from the address should
be cause for suspicion.
All bank employees in the city
had the opportunity of witness
ing the pictures at 4:30 Monday
in the Masonic temple, when c.
H. Huth again projected the
films on the screen.

Congratulations

1t took just ten years for
the Knights OF Pythlas
hodges of Roland and New
Mark to pay off a $4,000
debt on the Castle on East
Main street. Real business
management was necessary
to accomplish this, and that
is the reason why the two
subordinate lodges have
been debt free for the past
16 years.
The above fact was
kbrought to mind by the dis
trict meeting of the lodge
Tuesday night, at which the
25th anniversary of the
Castle was celebrated. 1t is
Interesting to note that
Jesse A. Grove, who served
so ably on the building
Eommittee 25 years ago, is
still a member of the board.
Mr.. Groves services have
been no small factor in the
singular success the New
ark and Roland lodges have
enjoyed through the years.
We congratulate the organ

occasion.
