FINES; JIM PARKER paid $20.00 (because he had a guilty conscience ??)
The Prez tried to fine Mac because he left ELTON'S name out of the bulletin, and MAC
said he probably did it on purpose, because ELTON gets his name in there so much;
so ELTON paid $7.00 after some negotiating, because he missed last week. GEORGE
BISHOP paid $20.00 for IRIS' birthday; HARRY ANDERSON paid $10.00 ??? And
CAROL SCANLAN'S mother had to have eleven stitches, and CAROL paid $11.00. Then
the PREZ "sold" or blackmailed a whole bunch of people into paying $5.00 for the pictures.
Come to think of it, I don't believe Harry paid anything. He just relinquished the Fine
Free Badge, which was won by Mac after some spiritd bidding for $40.00.
DICK PAULUS of the Glendora Kiwanis Club gave a very interesting talk on U. S.
MONEY and CURRENCY.. He showed some slides of the different sizes of paper
currency, and pointed out that there actually was a $3.00 bill at one time. He showed
slides of currency issued by banks that were authorized by various states, He showed
some fractional currency that was printed and used for about 14 years. He stated that
about $369,000,000.00 was printed and used. The largest currency bill that was ever
printed is the $10,000.00 bill. He also said that if coins were used instead of bills a lot
of money would be saved because of reduced costs.
Dick's parting words were: Money is a lot like manure, because it is easy to spread around.
