Dewey 0N S5OO,0OO
To StockpiIe Drugs
For A-Bomb Defense
BY the Associoted Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 11.-Gov.
Dewey today approved a $500. 900
ALLEGATION to stockpile medical
supplies and equipment for civil
defense against atomic or other
attack.
/ Gov. Dewey said he approved
ALLEGATION of the funds because
apparently the Federal Govern
ment not only has no plans but
no intention of providing medical
supplies"
The Governor said that New
York State would be the number
one target" If this country was
attacked.
The appropriation was re-
quested by Gen. Lucius d. Clay,
chairman of the New York State
Civil Defense Commission. Gov.
Dewey said the money would
come from the $2.5 million voted
by the Legislature for civil de-
fense earlier this year.
The Governor said "this alloca-
of money is necessary to stimulate
the production of essential sup
plies"
Gov. Dewey said "stocks OF
medical equipment and supplies
now in the hands of manufactur-
ers and wholesalers are low, partly
because of the war in Korea"
He added:
"A survey by the State Depart
ment of Health shows that medi-
cal supplies and equipment avail
able in the hands of drugstores
are insufficient to care for the
victims of even one atomic bomb. 2"
Gov. Dewey said the supplies to
be stockpiled would consist pri-
marily of drugs and antibiotics,
blood TRANSMISSION sets, burn treat
ment supplies. fracture supplies,
syringes and needles and surgical
equipment.

they had refused absolutely to
change their dry goods business to
departmental store" Said the
proclamation:
I'VE sell dry goods exclusively
now and always and as long as
this house stands"
Apparently the pressure became
even more tremendous-or the
founders were better merchants
than they were prophets-because
in 1916 the store built a six-story
addition putting "51 departments
under one roof" In 1921, a four
story building connecting the
Seventh and Eighth street stores
was bought outright after having
been previously leased, and mil

institution in 1925.

grandfather, he told of the time
the employees celebrated a store
anniversary by giving 'Mr. Gus
a huge bouquet of roses.
THE roses were put in a vase
right in the middle of the store, :
Mr.. Goldsmith said. "A customer
came along and started to pull one
out but Mr.. Gus stopped her. He
said, You can't touch those. My
employees gave them to me-"
Mr.. Goldsmith tilted back his
chair and continued to reminisce
about customers.
"We sold a customer one OF
those Charlie Mccarthy dolls. She
brought it back three days later,
said she'd had it all that time and
it hadn't said a word"

Through the years, the store
has devised one new wrinkle after
another to keep the customers and
the employees happy.
One such is the 10-to-50-Yeal

Another is the by Jupiter" pro-

used to give away American flags
with inches of real gold for fringe.
When World War I ended and
soldiers turned up in Washington
without any money, they were al
ways being sent to "Call-Me-

"At one time, he was a buyer

of china and glassware and it
had broken-even if she'd bought
lit in the dime store-"Call-Me-
Henry" would slip some money to
a salesgirl and tell her to rush
right out and replace it."
The store has kept most of
its ownership as well as many of
its jobs in the family, although
that was not always the way the
sons planned it.
''Mr Mark" for instance, took
a degree in architecture from the
University of Pennsylvania.

remodel the store front. When I
wasn't remodeling, I worked as
a floor man in the millinery de-
partment. In those days, the hats
had heavy silk Innings under vel
vet. They'd have birds of para
disc or egret or ostrich feathers,
and they were so big they had to
be held on with hat pins. A
, woman would bring one of these
! hats back and say her husband
didn't like it. I'd look at the
lining, and there would be dozen
holes from the hat pins. The
, question was whether to point out
the pin holes or take back the

 However Ben opened up his mine at Anvil this spring, threw away his cane and has been repairing and preparing the mine for full operation next year. We don't know exactly how old Ben is but he looks ten years younger since he went back to his mining, after a remarkable recovery.
