Black Market Gold Brings s5l An Ounce On Macao

MANILA, (P)-An international black market dealing in millions of dollars worth of gold bullion and golden Mexico pesos destined for inflation-beset China is doing thriving business on Macao, Portuguese island colony at the mouth of the Canton river, official Filipino sources said Saturday.
 Chinese merchants, desperate for some readily convertible means of exchange, are paying stiff pre- miums to obtain the precious metal, these sources said.
 While members of the world monetary fund have sought to keep the price of gold stabilized at $35 a troy ounce, Macao trans actions run at a minimum of $5l an ounce. This premium has ere ated golden flow toward Macao. Where Chinese purchasers can ob- tain possession without fear of confiscation by the Chinese gov ernment, which has banned pri- vate trading in gold.
 Finance Secretary Miguel Cua- derno said Saturday that the Phil ippine republic has cooperated with world monetary fund mem bers by refusing to permit export of gold to Macao or any other point where it is definitely known that black market prices prevail.

Army Air Force Day At Marks Field

Friday, August l, was Army Air Force Day, and citizens of Nome were invited to inspect air planes and equipment at the local Marks Field. Several types of planes were lined up on the park way and were open to the public, types including bombers, amphibi- ans, trainers, navy type planes and specially-equipped search and rescue planes.
 Radar equipment recently ob- tained for the local air base was also on display and was explained to visitors who were interested in witnessing the spotting of aircraft flying in the vicinity. The equip ment is housed in a huge trailer truck arrangement with the power plant on the truck and the cleo tronic equipment on the trailer The revolving and stationary an tennae network is atop the control room.
 The spotter and control posi- tions, of which there are five, are arranged so that each operator can view the area on an echo map, which shows the reflected image of any object in the path of the ultra-high frequency radio wave of the transmitter, thus, the signal reflected from a plane is made visible to the operator, who can follow it's course, and give instruc- tiCls for landing.
 The map or reflected image is viewed on a large radar-scope, which can be changed by the op- orator, to cover areas of 30, Is, and 712 miles radius.
 The new equipment will greatly facilitate blind landings and make for safer night flying in the area.
 The lair show was put on by navy-type planes flying in forma ton and singly in a radius of twenty miles.
 Col. John E. Bodle, commanding officer of the Nome Air Base, spoke on the radio, commemorat- ing the day. He gave a brief his tory of aviation, from the Kitty hawk days to the present, and the dire need for a strong, and up-to- the-minute, United States air force, with continued stress on training of youth for protection of the future.
 Last but not least, was inSpec- ton of the fire fighting equipment which is in charge of fire chief Sam Huxley. The large two-story building on the north side of the runway, houses four big trucks which are complete fire-fighting units, ready for any emergency. The upper floor contains apart ment and dormitory for the crews.

1SHPEMING, Mich, Feb. 22.-The
young and old riders pit their form
and power against the challenge of
majestic Suicide Hill today in the
first phase of the two-day national
ski-jumping championships.
The senior class jumpers over 80
years of age and the class c young
sters of 16 and IT display their style
for titles of their respective divi-
sions here in this iron ore mining
community where the National Ski
Association was organized in 1904.
Top-hight stars of America, Nor
way and Sweden make their leaps
off the severe incline of Suicide
Hill tomorrow in class A competi-
ton. Glass B performers also will
compete tomorrow - bringing to
more than 125 the number of riders
who will compete in the two-day
event.
The high 40-point winners among
the Americans, judged on distance
as well as form and irrespective of
class, will qualify for the final round
of the Olympic tryouts in Seattle,
Wash. March 23. FROM this meet
will emerge a four man team plus
two alternates to represent the
United States in the 1948 Olympics
at Davos, Switzerland, next year.
Two of this country's outstanding
riders. Art Devlin of Lake Placid,
N. Y, and Barney Mclean OF
Steamboat Springs, Colo, have
missed the national championships
because of injuries suffered in recent
tournaments, but their places on the
Olympic group are virtually assured.
Upholding American honors against
the Norwegian team for the national
class A crown are Merryll Barber,
Brattleboro, VT; Walter and Ralph
Bietila and Joe Perrault OF Ishpem-
ing; Art Grandstrom, Everett, Wash,
and Gordon Wren, Winter Park,

q few weeks ago.
He left the hospital in New York

he is slowly coming round. He has
put on more than 2 of the many
pounds he lost and Josie-Mrs.

vegetables and his milk regularly to
keep the strength returning. And
she doesn't have to argue with him
about it at all.
The paralysis that stiffened his
entire right side Is about gone
and only his right arm, which he
carries in sling, still bothers him
And as he talks to you the fingers
Of his left hand slowly massage the
right hand, as though transmitting
circulation to it.
Most of all you get the big tip-of1
that he's on the way back when
you hear something that sounds like
the old Mike Jacobs growl. This
comes as he struggles to rise from
his pillowed easy chair, and the
pillows get in the way, and you offer
to help.
"Help?" he rumbles as if asking
you if you don't know this is Mike
Jacobs. "Who needs help?"
