The decision to return the coins to the marketplace-- made by Congress and signed into law by President .Carter in March 1979-- has received an enthus- iastic response from the public. The agency says it already has heard from more than 200,000 persons interested in acqu!ring some of the historic coins. Each coin is in a plastic case -- appropriate for display -- inside a velour-lined gift box. A brief history of the coin is en- closed in each box. The Carson City mint prod- uced only 13 of the silver dollar designed by George T. Morgan. Known as "Morgan Dollars", they feature the head of Miss Liberty on one side and an eagle within a wreath on the other. The letters "C"-- for Carson City -- appear under the wr- eath. Each silver dollar measures four centimeters in diameter and eight mils in thickness. It weighs 412.5 grains and is .900 fine silver. Although the mark- et price of silver fluctuates daily, when silver sells for $12 per troy ounce, the silver can- tent of one coin is worth about $9.27. • In thd-late 1800s 'the in- creasing popularity of paper money plus the large number of silver dollars in circulation les- sened the demand for the " cartwheels" produced at Car- son City. The mint struck its last silver dollar in 1893. Co- ins stored there were shipped to other mints and to Federal Reserve Banks throughout the country. Legislation in the early 1900s plus the demand for silver in the 1940s to support the war effort resulted in massive coin melts. All but about three million of the government's holdings of the 90 percent silver dollars in Treas- ury vaults revealed the secret of their historic and numismatic value. Most of the remaining " cartwheels"-- many still in their original mint bags -- were from the long-closed Carson City mint.

':It your answer is "Yes" t0-Iny of these questions, ypi.'are flirting with carbon turn oxide poisoning, the A-rberican Medical Associa- tibn'reminds. C.arbon monoxide is an o/.lofless, colorless, tasteless go£'that comes from your atdo exhaust, faulty fur- antes, smouldering charcoal in 'a grill and some other sources. In the open air it usua!ly is dissipated without harm to anyone. In an en- cJosed space it can be deadly. Each winter brings fresh reports of deaths from car- bon monoxide poisoning. The gas can seep up through the floor boards from a leaky exhaust. The victim be- comes drowsy and "Falls asleep." It takes only a short time for an engine running in a closed garage to fill the building with deadly gas. No one knows how many auto accidents are caused by motorists whose reaction time is somewhat slowed hy a small seepage of carbon monoxide into a closed auto. If your exhaust and manifold are in good shape, tightly fit- ted, you likely are safe. But it's even safer to leave a rear window open a crack. if your furnace hasn't been checked this fall before turning it on for another winter, you also am running a monoxide risk. There may be leaks from the furnace's exhaust system." if you enjoy charcoal grill cooking, great. But keep it where it belongs -- out of doors. At least on an open porch. Burning charcoal gives off carbon monoxide too. Be certain all •coals are, burned out belore bringing the grill indoors. People all over the United States and perhaps parts of the world are preserving historical documents, models, drawings, and relics of railroads. One can't imagine the many Mus- eums and Exhibits that oper- ate for the public. There are many public railroad business- es, such as resturants, that portray the railroads in many unique ways. 1 received a nice card from our good friend, Mr. Jess C. Wise, who is a prominent law- yer in the city of Hinton, W. Vs., and he was telling me that he and his wife visited an int- eresting place to dine in Rich- mond, Va. It is called " Vic- toria Station" and they feature Prime Rib and Potable Spir- its. You dine in authentic box- cars and cabooses decorated with historical British Railway artifacts.

Each year starting in 1958 they have prod- uced the " California Southern Railroad Calendar" as a fund raiser. Proceeds from the cal- endar sales will be used to help maintain and operate for the public their collection of over 150 pieces of Railway equip- ment at their museum site in Perris, California. Achieving over the years a reputation for quality, their 1980 calendar is lithograped on durable, high- quality embossed finish paper• The 11 x 17 size and open format make this a very useful wall calendar. A different photo for each month features eleven" scenes of Steam Engines, plus two of Electric railroading from all over North America. At the modest price of $2.25 each, post paid 3rd class mail, this is the calendar for everyone's wall. The address is Orange Empire Railway Museum, Box 221, Wal- nut, Calif. 91789.

About Your Social Security Most people would probably have to think before answering the question. Many would pro- bably say somewhere around the late 50's or early 60's. However, in these inflation- ary times, with people living longer, the people most likely to enjoy their retirement years are those who start planning much earlier in their working lives. Although most people can look forward to social security as their primary income in retirement, social security benefits will not replace all of a person's earnings. They replace a oout 3O to 6O per cent of your pre- retirement earnings, dep- ending on your level of earn- ings This means that people who wish to maintain their standard of living in their retirement years must supplement their life can be viewed not only in terms of current pay and bene- fits, but also in terms of pot- ential retirement benefits. While this may be less import- ant when starting a career, it becomes increasingly import- ant to prepare for the later years as time passes. Insurance, for example, be- comes more costly the older one gets. And some investment opp- ortunities may come once in a lifetime. Authorities say the ideal age for serious retirement planning' is in the 40's. This is late enough for you to be stabilized in you# career and early enough to make whatever changes you may decide upon. While your income will be reduced in retirement, so will your expenses.

Byrd [ Help For A Dying Nation The horrors of civil war, famine, and disease in Cam- bodia during the last four years have resulted in a death toll exceeding that of any small country since the plagues of the 14th cen- tury. As many have pointed out, the world may be help- lessly watching the extinc- tion of a nation--an event almost unparalleled in hu- man history. Cambodia's sad saga be- gan in 1975, when Pol Pot,a murderous regime took pow- er. At that time, the coun- try's population numbered about 8 million. Under Pol Pot, the population was re- duced through execution, disease, and malnutrition to about. 4 :million .... In 3a/adarr of: this year, the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia, ousted Pol Pot, and installed a puppet re- gime headed by Heng Sam- rim The fighting has con- tinued, and because of the resulting dislocation, no crops have been planted. Re- lief workers estimate that roughly half of the remain- ing Cambodians will die within six months if they do nat receive food and medical aid. More than 300,000 refu- gees are housed in camps throughout Thailand, and more than a half-million more Cambodians are inch- ing their way toward the border, in an effort to es- cape a new Vietnamese of- fensive. The refugees ar- rive in appallingly weak and diseased condition. Many re- port that they were re- duced to eating leaves, bark, bugs and rodents while hiding in the forests. Because the Senf,e need- ed a first.hand report on this tragedy, I appointed a bipartisan group of three Senators to go to Thailand and Cambodia. One of the group's goals was to con- vince Phnom Penh officials to allow U.N. and Red Cross truck convoys of food to enter Cambodia from Thailand• This would be the To Be Exa One of the world's oldest religions, Judaism, will be ex- amined and discussed by the Concord College Philosophy Cl- ub during its next meeting at 4 p.m. Thursday, December 6, in Room 113 of the college Ad- ministration Building.

Perhaps you are concerend about your parents or grand- parents falling on the ice and snow, and being unable to call , for help. Another serious dang- er in the winter is fire, which can result from heating devices or even from gas cook stoves. If you are concerend about these dangers or if your relat- ives seem to be increasingly unable to care for their finan- ces, are losing their memories, or seem to be losing a lot of weight, you may be thinking about nursing homes.

The Phnom Penh of- ficials claim they are afraid the food will go to the rag- ged Khmer Rouge army. The Cambodian situation is a colossal disaster, all the more tragic because it is man-made.

While some of these people are quite sincere, they do a great disservice to A regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer Society, to keep you informed about cancer. Question: "Is there a new way to detect colorectal cancer?" ANSWERIine: There is a method available now that finds hidden blood in the stool which, although it does not necessarily mean cancer, can be an early sign of the disease. This test, called the guaiac test, is quick and easy to perform. It can be done by a physician during a regular physical examination. Actu- ally, any person can do the test at home by placing tiny stool samples on treated paper slides within a specia folder. The folder is then re- turned to the physician for laboratory analysis. Adults should have guaiac tests on a schedule recommended by their physicians. Question: "ltow do patients with cancer learn about worthless cancer cures?" ANSWERIine: There are many ways that word o( un- proven methods of cancer treatment reaches the healthy public and especially patients with cancer..
