Gold Is Handy Item
When You Get Home

so miles north of Atlanta, have
opened a gold museum which
displays old equipment used to
extract gold when there was
plenty of it to be found in this
area.
With the help of the Georgia
Historical Commission, the Sec
ton has been carefully marked
to facilitate tourists visits.
Sluice boxes are in operation
and panning gear is available
for those who want to do their
own prospecting. The oldtimers
are on hand to tell their tales
of the long-ago stampede for
gold.
Back in 1928 a hunter named
Benjamin Parks found a mug
get that touched off the chase
for gold in the hills around
Dahlonega. More than 10000
prospectorS invaded the area.
In the first 20 years of min
ing, over $50 million worth of
gold was extracted here.
The area offers much in ad-
dition to gold panning.
Mountains surrounding are
unspoiled ridges. The streams
afford excellent fishing and
summer weather is delightfully."-

Prayers Rise

Japan's Great Buddha at
Kamakura is not only an OBJ
ject of worship, but occasionally
a container of it.
The huge seated statue of
Amida, one of the Buddhist
divinities, was about 24O years
old when Columbus discovered
America and many japanese
from all over the country come
to bow before it.
Some, seeking special inten-
tons, actually pray inside the
42-foot high hollow figure.
Tourists who visit the idol
may also enter it and climb
a staircase inside to the
shoulders for about nine cents
according to American Presi-
dent Lines, many of whose pas
Sengers make it a must on
their visits to Japan.

Mr.. Morris is a plumber and

is the only child at Fenwick in
the winter, and he goes to
school in Shelbyville, on the
mainland.
The town of Fenwick boasts

Fenwick's main concession to
civilization is a town charter
which prohibits a boardwalk
but allows one policeman and
several street lights.
A Seven-man council governs
the town, and the council is
elected by everyone registered
on the property tax rolls.
The main explanation as to
how Fenwick Island got its
name is that an English ad-
venturer named Thomas Fen
wick escaped from a pirate ship
and swan to shore during the
late 18th Century.
Mr.. Fenwick farmed, and cut
a ditch across the narrow 18TH
mus at the north which Their
connected the island with the
mainland. First called Little
AsSawoman Inlet, his ditch was
later renamed more genteely as
Indian River Inlet.

Chances are that you've I'M
Willingly visited Fenwick
Island. where Money Banks are
beaches, not buildings.
Fenwick Island, seven miles
long and three blocks wide, lies
Just north of Assateague
Island, in Delaware's Sussex
County. Fenwick is bounded
on the south by Ocean City
and on the north by Bethany
Beach and Indian River inlet.
Money Banks, a stretch of
beach to the south of the 49,
year-old Fenwick Island Light
house, lies near the middle of
the island, in the town Of Fen
wick. The Banks were named
because the tides have deposit
ed Spanish silver coins on the
beach.
Some persons have with
drawn as much as SIS in small
silver coins from Money Banks
"Fenwick town used to be just
a little squatty place." said Ida
Thomas, the crisp-cut, curly
blond registered nurse who is
married to the owner of the
Blue Surf Motel at Bethany
Beach.
1000 in Summer
People used to build just
Squatty houses there, that you
wouldn't finish inside and
would furnish with junk you
couldn't use at home" said Mrs
Thomas, who grew up on Fen
wick Island.
Olive Morris, proprietress OF
a real estate office at the town
of Fenwick, said that about
1000 persons live on the island
during the summer, and that
she hopes it won't go more

cases, now overcrowding Dis
trict Generals maternity Sec
ton.
In DR.. Finucane's conception
Of progress, the Health Depart
ment would be permitted to
treat minors for venereal dis
ease without having to get the
consent of their parents. The
departments clinics now must
turn away six to eight diseased
minors a day because District
law now, requires their parents
consent.
On the departments recon-
mendation, the District Com
missioners have asked the Of
flee Of the Corporation Counsel
to study changes in this re-
quirement.
When another venereal dis
ease program requirement
that couples get blood tests
before marriage here - was
studied two years ago, DR.. Fin
ucane did not recommend it.
His reasons included:
L. The expense. (Under the
proposal, the department would
have provided free blood tests
to couples who did not want
to pay a private physician)
2. The Districts recognition
Of common law marriages
There was no practical way
obviously, to require them to
have blood tests.
3. The concentration of We
nereal disease in promiscuous
persons Of low socio-economic
groups who seldom marry.
Some Of the interviewers who
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-15

work most closely with the
problem. however, believe the
rising venereal rate here justi-
fies the expense.
Such a program, a United
States Public Health Service
worker argued, may indeed be
an unnecessary expense in some
Of the States that require it
because their overall VD rate
Is so low. But in the District.
such a program would be i'm
portant, he said.
DR.. Finucane also said this
week that in view of the rising
VD rate here, some Of the
arguments used against the
test two years ago may no
longer be valid.
Any such reconsideration,
however, will probably fall to
DR.. Finucane's unnamed, I'M
found successor.
Finding successor is not
only a job of selection. 1t is a
problem of finding an able adj
ministrator at the going salary.
DR.. Finucane promised to re-
main as public health director
for three to five years. He has
remained five and now finds it
advantageous to retire from the
District Government and COM
bine his retirement pay with a
salary as director of the bureau
OF communicable and chronic
diseases in Prince Georges
County, Md.
Salary Rise Urged
DR.. Finucane's salary is ST..
500 a year as director of the
city's Health Department. One
high District official has said
not for attribution-that the
job may lie vacant for several
months before the District finds
a qualified man "at that tab"
A health bureau chief said
in an interview that $4,000 to
$4,000 more per year would be
needed to put the job on par
with jobs of similar RESPONSE
bility in other cities.
Commissioner John B. Dun.
can said this week that salary
: is a known factor" in losing
administrative personnel in the
health department and attract
ing qualified new people.
I, One current example is the
two-year vacancy in the job of
TB control officer. The job re-
quires a physician with special
J training but pays less than
$4,000 year.
If the directors job also lies
untitled or is given to a man
Of meager qualifications, the
department may lose its for
ward drive.
Without pressure from an
active director, the city may
find it easier to ignore the
venereal disease problems of
minors, the crowding of ma
ternity patients at District
General, the needs of expectant
mothers, the tuberculosis rate,
the shortage Of inspection
workers to check restaurants
and X-ray machines.

Back Aid for

RICHMOND, Feb. 15.-Re-
publican Delegate Glenn A.
Burklund of Fairfax has been
joined by four influential DEM
ocrats in the House Of Dele
gates in a plan to set up a new
State agency to insure industrial
mortgages.
Mr.. Burklund likened the
proposed nine member Indus
trial Construction Council to
the Federal Housing Agency.
except that it would function
only on a Statewide basis and
would be confined to promoting
industrial development.
His bill would require an
initial appropriation of 81 mil
lion from the States general
fund but would rapidly become
completely self-supporting from
mortgage insurance fees, he
said.
Joining him as sponsors Of
the bill yesterday were Dele
gates Baldwin G. Locher Of
Rockbridge. E. E. Lane of Rich
mond, P. B. White Of Virginia
Beach and James M. Thomson
of Alexandria.
The bill allows the council to
underwrite mortgages on nom
profit development corporations
for industrial construction up
to 80 per cent of the total cost.
The limit Of an individual prof.
ect would be SIS million.
A number Of non-profit in
dustrial development corpora
tons have been organized to
help promote industry in rural
areas to broaden the base Of
Virginia's economy.
The Senate yesterday passed
three bills recommended by
Gov. Harrison to bring the
States industrial development
effort directly under his office.
The measure, sponsored by
Senator Harry F. Byrd, jr., Of
Winchester, would transfer the
present Industrial Development
Division from the Department.
of Conservation and Economic
Development directly under the
Governors control.

Progress Being Made
The Nation as q whole, for

the problem seemed headed
for extinction. But when rates
dropped, so did public interest;
support for venereal programs
became difficult to get until
rates started to climb again.
Similarly, the District at

budget cuts 10 years ago de-
.stroyed the program. In Or

been restored and two more
