Gold on Hand
Falls to Hew Low
According to Henry J.
Taylor, columnist: "Our gold
on hand has fallen to $16.6
billion. The law requires
$11.5 billion behind our dol
lar. This leaves only $5.1 bil
lion to meet foreign demands.
European central banks and
other foreigners now own $18
billion (net) of short-term
claims, payable in gold on de
mand. All gold legally behind
the U. S. dollar has been
mortgaged and $6.5 billion
more besides. The gold claims
against us are $1.4 billion
more than even the total
stored here."
IMMUNITY
Resist small temptations -
and you’ll find that you hav
no trouble with the large one
should prove very lucrative if
backed fully by local mer
chants and citizens.
Chamber members have been
investigating the idea of a sou
venir dollar since early in the
year, he said, but found the
cost of having them made up in
relatively small quantity pro
hibitive. Arrangements have
therefore been made to take
trade dollars on consignment
from the Alaska Boosters Asso
ciation.
This organization has been
willing to cooperate with the
Matanuska Valley Chamber in
preference to competing with
another souvenir dollar, Fish
said, and has agreed to sell the
dollars to the local group foi
125 cents apiece. In turn, the
: Chamber sells the coins to lo
cal merchants for one dollai
apiece, banking the proceeds ir
an escrow fund. The trade dol
| lars may be redeemed for ful
value until December 31. 1962
The Alaska Boosters AsSocia
tion estimates that returns wil
not exceed ten percent of tota
output, according to Fish. Th(
Chamber will be able to keei
75 percent of the funds left ir
escrow after redemptions arc
made. The Alaska boosters are
asking only a 12M> cent returr
on the dollar, he said, adding
that the Chamber is just aboul
assured of a 55 cent return or
the dollar.
The local club has taken e
beginning consignment of 200C
of the dollars, but hopes to gel
30,000 of them into circulation
They will be used as currenc}
at the Alaska State Fair.
The Chamber president em
phasized the need of full co
operation of Valley residents in
getting as many of the coins as
possible into circulation.
GUIDANCE
Necessity may be the mother
of invention, but a set goal in
life is the father of success.

HOW TO HEDGE
AGAINST INFLATION
We know an elderly couple who re
cently sold their house and moved to
an apartment because their children
’.'ere grown and married.
They had bought the house in 1939
for $5,000 . . . which at that time was
a lot of money! Through the years
they paid off the mortgage, improved
and modernized their home. Now.
after 23 years they have sold it for
$27,500.
Buying your own home is one way
to beat inflation . . . and it's the only
thrift plan we know which provides
more joy out of life. Why not give us
a call tomorrow?
