Africa are we'll supplied with
gold coins to buy friendship and
military information from ma
tives they encounter, military
authorities here say.
Lieut.. Gen. Mark v. Clark
carried bags of gold with him on
his secret submarine trip to Az
RIGA weeks before the invasion
and returned to London with
priceless military information.
This was the first intimation
that the United States had
found real war use for its idle
yellow bullion at Fort Knox.
Natives in sparsely settled
sections of Africa have long
been skepitcal of paper curren-
cy, but gold speaks a universal
language in the desert.
PAY NATIVE GUIDES
Arabs who guide crews of dis
abled American planes forced
down in the desert to safety are
paid SIS in gold for each man res
cued and SIS for each parachute.
Fierce tribal wrath can be
aroused in the desert for unau-
thorized use of a water-hole, and
American forces wherever pos
sible are instructed to seek out
the owner of the oasis and pay
him for the precious fluid.
War Department spokesman
said the exact amount of gold
and the type of coins placed at
the disposal of field commanders
is a military secret.
The Treasury Department
rudely shattered any illusions
that the cherished good luck
gold pieces surrended by Ameri-
can citizens in 1888 are hasten
ing the advance of troops across
Africa.
All of the $3.50, SIS, $40 and
$50 gold coins turned in by the
American people nine years ago
were melt into bullion bars
and stored away, the Treasury
said. The Treasury no longer
minis gold coins.
But in London where most of
the exiled governments main
tain treasures, an American
General with a bagful of bullion
would be able to obtain gold
coins of any denomination and
nationality, it was pointed out.
Skepticism of natives toward
paper currency in Africa is shar-
ed by the Treasury Department,
which warns that it will not hon.
or American paper money cir
culated in Africa by Nazis. The
Germans stole it from occupied
countries.
Axis agents, capitalizing on
the universal confidence in tn
stability of American currency,
have been passing large amounts
of U. S. banknotes in French
Africa, much of it in the form
of brides. Now this money is
worthless.
SECRET MARK ON BILLS
All paper money passed in Al
RIGA by u. S. forces, Secretary
Morgenthau says, will bear a
distinguishing mark visible to
the trained eyes of bank tellers.
Banks are warned that the Am
erican Government will not dis
count currency which does not
bear the hidden mark.
The Treasury, like the War
Department refuses to divulge
how much American gold has
been shipped overseas to smooth
the invasion path, but a spokes-
man said the vaults at Fort
Knox are still far from empty.
Even after Gen. Clark lost
$4,000 in gold when the small
boat returning him to his SUBJ
marine capsized, the Treasury
had some $22,741 900 900 left in

Schools Will
Close May 4th

The school board, at its regu-
lar monthly meeting here today,
postponed the closing day of all
schools until the 4th day of May
in order that all citizens of the
county may register at their clio
est school under the sugar ratio
ing program. Since nearly all
schools will be closed before
May 4th the board has asked
that the last day of the present
session be postponed until that
day in order that all citizens may
be Accommodated.
Approximately $50 teachers
were elected for the 1942-43 ses
sion. School officials throughout
all Virginia and neighborins
states have had difficulty in keep
ing properly certified teachers
during the current session. 1t is
thought by the local superinten-
dent that the number of teachers
elected today would not be suf-
ficient to begin the next school
term. Due to the already present
scarcity of properly certified
teachers and possible resigna-
tons or refusals of positions Of
fered to the teachers already Sc
lected, school board members are
of the opinion that it will be nee
cessary to lower teacher quail
fications if the state board of ed
ucation will permit in order to
fill every position for next year.
The chief item of business
scheduled for the May meeting
will be the letting of transport
ton contracts election of jani-
'ors and making contracts for
fuel at the four major high
schools.

OLDSTERS TO REGISTER
ON APRIL 27TH

The President has set April 27
as registration day for all men
who were forty-five years of age
on Or before Feb. Is, 1912, and
who have not reached their 65ht
birthday on or before April 27.
Places of registration will be
the same as of the last registra-
ton on Feb. Is, and the same Of
ficers will serve as did in the
last registration.
According to the clerk of the
local board, there has been lot
of misunderstanding as to who
should register. The last general
registration, he says, uncovered
several persons who should have
registered long before but simp-
ly did not understand.
It has been stated that men
included in this registration, 40
to IS, will not be used in combat
service but will be given other
duties.

Board Will
Consider County
Budget Monday

The Board of Supervisors will
meet here next Monday for the
regular April meeting. The chief
item of business will be the con-
sideration of the county and
school budgets for the fiscal year
beginning July l Of the present
calendar year. According to the
budget estimate recently publish
ed, proposed tax levies in a ma
jority of the districts can be low
cred about 10 cents on each one
hundred dollars assessed valua-
ton. The proposed school levy
will be the same-$22O
The local welfare department
is asking for an increase of six
thousand dollars for its work
next year. It was pointed out
that this amount had annually
been appropriated for the WPA
sewing rooms, but since this pro-
ject was no longer in operation
and the clothing made at these
centers no longer available, the
welfare department felt it nee
cessary to ask for this amount in
order that its several hundred
clients might be properly cloth
ed.
Also included in the county
budget is three thousand dollars
for the return of the health unit,
which was eliminated as mat
ter of economy last year. 1t is re
ported that delegation of citi-
zens will appear before the board
in favor of reestablishing the
health unit in Dickinson County.
So far as known the board has
not committed itself in favor on
or against these particular pro-
posed expenditures.

Funeral OF
G.. G. Stone
Held Saturday

AS briefly mentioned il, oLr
last issue, death ended the ca
reer of Dickenson's most pictur-
esque citizen when c.. c. (Luml
Stone succumbed to an attack of
bronchial pneumonia Friday,
March 27
He was born in March, 1872,
the son of William Riley and
Julia Stone, near Skeetrock. Es
his own efforts he secured fair
education and always kept a.
breast of the happenings of the
day and discussed intelligently
all phases of public affairs. He
engaged in business ventures oc-
casionally, but was not cut out
for a business man, but rather
maker of rhymes. He probably
never reduced any of his poetic
effusions to writing, but wen
rounded thoughts in rhyme lit
orally dubbed from his versa
tile mind.
The first time the writer evel
heard of Lum Stone was when a
small boy he heard the late Har-
man Mullins speak Of having
letter from Lum, who was then
seeing the west and at that time
doing farm work in Illinois 70
help pay his way. Years later
Lum told the writer Of spending
several months out from Charles
ton, Ill, and of fishing and swim
ming in the Alhambra River,
stream often crossed by Abra-
ham Lincoln when he turned
aside from the circuit he rode to
pay a brief visit to his father and
step-mother, Thomas and Sarah
Bush Lincoln, at Goose Nest pra-
irie
Lum travelled here and yonder
until the beginning of his last
illness. His genial nature and
ready wit made him a welcome
visitor on any freight train and
he travelled as far and as often
as he pleased without being re-
garded as a hobo.
Small financial reverses that
meant much to a man of small
means came his way, as did adj
vancing age that slowed his pace
but reither soured his genial
spirit
Burial was in the old Stone
graveyard near Skeetrock, where
four generations of his people lie
buried. Funeral services were
conducted by Elder Jack Dutton,
a lifelong friend and neighbor OF
the Stone family.
Surviving are the following
