United States, equalled but never
surpassed by John F. Davis of
New York City, one time candidate
for President of the United States,
on the Democratic ticket.
A long list of philanthropies
can be attributed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Vale, but their gifts of lots and
monies to erect a City Hall, may
be called their crowning one, and
one for which the public in whose
interest and for whose use they
gave the same will be remembered
eternally.
Mayor William R. Murphy and
the following members of City
Council: First Ward, Percy r.
Haughey, w. Vernon Benson; Sec

by Vice Mayor Percy r. Haughey

ancestors for centuries, currently
anyone can remember.

tiny village of Sim, about 25 miles
is shaped. This is coated with
grease and a second layer of clay
forms the shape of the bell itself.
A third outer mold is next built
up and when all three are drier,
the second layer is Clipped away
to form the hollow part of the mold.
The clay mold is then buried in
a deep pit right in front of the
furnace with earth packed tightly
around to keep it from breaking
when the molten metal is poured.
The bells are rs per cent copper
and % per cent tin. The price de-
pends partly on the going costs of
these metals. During the Korean
war, ben metal shot up to around
$1.40 pound. Now, it is about 36
cents pound.
Most Rincker bells go to Ger
man communities, as did the six
ton bell poured last January which
was registered as the foundry's
10,000th bell. Actually the Rinc-
ker have poured many more than
10000 bells bit the family began
counting rheln only in 1868.
There are a few Rincker bells
in American churches-including
one recently shipped to Colman,
Neb. The U. S. market, where do
mestic or Belgian bells seemed to
be preferred, is hard one to
crack, says Rincker business man.
ager Hans Kruger.
"And this is little hard to un-
derstand, too," he adds, because
our prices for delivery in the Uni
ted States are more favorable
than those of either American or
Belgian producers.
1.-THE bell business is unusual,
though. Maybe the trouble is that
we've been quoting prices so low
that no one has faith in them"

German BeIImakers
In Postwar Boom
ev JOHN BAUsMAN

SINN, West Germany (AP)-S
same techniques employed by thei
are finding themselves buster thai
One of the oldest and largest
that of the Rincker brothers in the
north of Frankfort. Rinckers have
been making bells at least $50
years.
Since the end of World War II,
the Rinckers have produced about
5000 church bells, roughly as many
as the family turned out in the 70
years preceding the war.
Wartime efforts to reclaim stra-
tegic copper and tin contained in
big bronze bells accounts for a
large part of the postwar bell
making boom.
1t is estimated that the Nazis
melted down about 10000 bells
during the war. Since the war, the
entire German bell industry has re-
placed only about $4,000.
Bells are traditional victims of
war but despite all the wars of the
past three centuries, there are
still 49 bells in existence known to
have been made by the Rincker
family between 1890 and 1900.
The family assumes the 1890
bell, which still hangs in the
church at nearby Netphen, was not
the first to be made by a Rincker
but there is no sure record of an
earlier one.
The Rincker foundry is run by
two brothers, Fritz and Curt Rinc-
er. Fritz's son, Hans, is expected
to carry on in the next generation.
The method of casting a bell at
the Rincker foundry has changed
little in the past 31s centuries ex-
cept that overhead cranes, a mod
ern oil furnace and other devices
makes the job a little easier.
But the making of the crucial
brick and clay mold is done just
as it was centuries ago. A wooden
profile" swung on a central pivot
guides the mason in building up
the mold.

microscopic plants as being moth
ing more than a nuisance, and a
small nuisance at that. Actually,
molds are important - they have
even influenced the course of his
tory. In the last century, for ex-
ample, molds drove millions of
natives from Ireland by destroy
ing the potato crop. In this cen.
tury. molds have helped produce
the antibiotics which have saved
millions of lives throughout the
world. For better or for worse,
molds have o powerful effect on
our everyday lives.
Although scientists have long
been fascinated by the beauty and
efficiency of molds, the general
public - without q microscope
handy - has been more or less in
the dark about these mighty micro
organisms. To remedy this situa-

to manufacture chemicals and an

In NeaUest State

When more than eleven mil
lion P.T.A. members open their
annual Membership Enrolment
month this October, they will be
urged to KNOCK on every door"
to find new members interested
in advancing the welfare of
children.
Some of those doors may open
to the oldest dwellings in the
Western NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ig-

soon to become the nations 49th
state.
Here, as throughout the US,
the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers will seek to add
some half-million new parents,
teachers or friends of children"
to what is already the nations
largest voluntary service organ
ization.
Mrs. James c. Parker, of
Grand Rapids, Mich, president
of the NationaI Congress, cites
"the dynamic potential of Alas
ka, our newest state" as "com-
parable to the spirit which has
enabled Parent-Teacher associa-
tions to contribute so much to
the welfare of children"
The variety and scope of P. A.
activities in the 61-year history OF
the National Congress are re-
fiected today, Mrs. Parker noted,
in the everyday life of Alaskans
which ranges in spirit from the
quite sophisticated to the truly
frontier"
Alaska's Congress of Parents
and Teachers, which became part
of the national organization in
1857, today faces problems which
can be compared, Mrs. Parker
pointed out, with those recorded
