WORLD GOLD OUTPUT ON -
RISE SINCE WAR
. WASHINGTON—Despite a post
war decline in the gold output of
the Union of South Africa, world
production has shown a moderate
increase during the past three
years, according to figures pub
lished here by the International
Monetary Fund.
Gold production throughout the
world reached a peak of $1,283,000,

000 (at $35 an aunce) in 1940, but
(hiring war years fell off to $742,
000,000. By 1946, a total world pro- ;
duction of $756.000,000-had again
been reached.
Tiie Fund estimates that $764,
000,000 worth of gold, mined in
1947, represents the most recent
annual total for all countries (ex
cepting the Soviet Union.)
The years since 1945 have been
marked by a resumption of gold
mining in Canada and the United
States at levels higher than dur
ing the war, although the output
of those countries is still low com- j
pared with that of 1937 to 1942.
The increases in gold production
in Canada and the United States
following the war have more than
offset the reduced gold mine out
put in South Africa, the chief gold ,
producer, where high levels had ;
been maintained from 1941 to 1945, ]

reports.

4-H CLUB NEWS
By Danny Rose
Last Wednesday t h e second

Mrs. Dan B. Rose. Present were
David Rose, Chester Steele, Daniel

After the cooking lesson "the boys
took a chance and each ate his
allotment of toast and four eggs.
They all went home with full
stomachs.
At the next meeting the boys are
going to prepare griddle cakes, co

hoped that all members will be
present.

New Plymouth on Display
Plymouth's new special deluxe
is featured above. Brilliant new
styiing is combined with outstanding
riding comfort, increased roominess,
and sweeping mechanical improve
ments in the new line'of Plymouth
automobiles.
Completely redesigned, the new
Plymouth has a longer wheelbase
for a better ride and more road
stability, hut less front and rear
overhang for easier parking and
garaging. While the silhouette has
been lowered and the width de
creased. there is more head and leg
room and seats are wider. Typical
of Plymouth's many refinements is
tiie ignition-starter combination,
with which a turn of the key starts
the engine.
The new Plymouths are sleek in
appearance. New rear-end styling
provides a graceful balance with
th.e horizontal grille lines which em
phasize the broadness of the front.
Fenders which blend perfectly into
body lines are nevertheless separate
and detachable, thus avoiding sheet
metal panels so costly to repair or
replace.
The new Plymouth line includes
nine distinct automobiles. Special
deluxe and deluxe types are on a
318-inch wheelbase, one inch longer
than last year's. Special deluxe
models are: four-door sedan, club
coupe, convertible club coupe and
station wagon. In the deluxe group
are the four-door sedan and the
; club coupe. In addition, Plymouth
1 will build three deluxe models on
a brand new Ill-inch wheelbase, a
two-door sedan, a three-passenger
coupe, and a new body type, the
Suburban.
The 97-horscpowcr engine has im
proved performance and efficiency
with a new design cylinder head
which increases compression ratio
to 7 to 1. A new chrome plated
compression piston ring reduces
cylinder wear and provides greater
protection during the break-in
period. There are improved oil
rings for greater oil economy, while
a newly-designed intake manifold i
induces quicker, smoother engine
warm-up and produces faster throttle
response.
Body styling which produces
greater passenger room without ex
cessive bulk also increases visibility.
V-type windshields have 37 percent
more area and provide excellent
vision without distortion. Windshield 1
wipers clear 61.5 percent greater
area and the rear window is 35.4
percent larger.
