of this city chosen by various civic or

community leaders saw the need for re

develop the youth as well as grown-ups.
Thus far, the efforts of the recreational
program have been outstandingly success

and varied recreational activities, they can

of the community’s recreation requires

Russia Adopts Gold

Russia’s revaluation of the ruble and adoption of the gold Istandard

Revaluation with the accompanying price cuts to the: Russian
•people would be taken in any other country as an important admin

Supreme Soviet. But it’s been a long time since Stalin ft Co. hdd to
worry about elections in Russia.
'• j| Asi a matter of fact, money values mean little in a counfry where
production, prices, distribution and even allotment of consumer goods
are controlled by the government, and where much production is by
slave labor or by labor which is paid largely “in kind” at the will of
the, government management.
The major point, it seems to me, is that Russia is going about
the establishment! of a “ruble area," just as there already exist a ster
ling area and a dollar area.
Change Expected
It has been more than a year since observers of Russian things
began to expect her to throw her gold hoard into the cold war. How
much gold Russia has is a mystery. But she is one of the world's im
portant producers. For years the government has made gold mining
