Page Eight THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, May 18, 1973 TEEN Topics IN NEW BERN TODAY If your hobby is coin collec ting, you don’t have to be told that finding something rare in change you receive is reaUy the impossible dream. It may happen one of these days, but don’t count on it. For many years, thousands of professionals and amateurs have regularly exchanged dollar bills for rolls of coins at tlie nearest bank. Often working as a team, two people will go Scott TILE AND CARPETING LC. scon, JR. 637-3923 RAY'S UPHOLSTERY - FREE ESTIMATES Pickup & Delivery • 1601 National Ave 637-6365 through the rolls for hours. Then they turn the rolls in for dollar bills, and get still more rolls. So carefully has this been done that finding an unusual coin in circulation today is harder than locating the proverbial needle in a haystack. Of course, it can happen. Somebody diKovers a few coins in an old house that is being torn down, or in an old trunk. Not realidng the possible value, and short on money, he or i^e spends it. This happens less and less every year. There aren’t that many really old houses being tom down. As for old trunks, the majority of them have been long ago purchased by eager antique collectors. Almost anyone who is 40 or SO years of age could be much wealthier today, if he or she could have had the foresight or good fortune to save trivial things in their youth. Mickey Mouse watches, once quite common and inexpensive, bring a high price now as a collector’s item. Shirley Temple ciq>s that used to come in Iwxes of cereal are very much in demand. ’That Model A roadster your father drove when he was young and carefree would be worth a fortune, if he still had it in the backyard. Almost anything that’s ancient finds a ready market. Knowing what you, as a teen ager, o^ht to save for future wealth is the problem. The next FIRST VIEW ... Dr. Peter Crowcroft, Director of Brookfield (111.) Zoo, announced that 'the Zoo’s first polar bear cubs made their public debut in outdoor grottos recently. The three cubs, born in November of two females, were raised by their mothers in separate dens inside the Bear Grottos, These are the first cubs ever conceived and successfully raised at this Zoo,” added Dr. Crowcroft, “and I’m sure the public will find them, as we have, especially appealing.” Looking Glass —r .

Those other whistles are gone too, the ones that summon^ employees to our lumber mills, and train whistles that wailed far off on wakeful nights. Even people have stopped whistling, except a few diehards like Mark Dunn and the Mirror’s editw. Now, if you walk along the street whistling, foiks stare at you, or turn to see who in the heck is sounding off. problem is finding a place to hoard it. With the world, and certainly your home, getting more crowded by the minute, what can you do? If you can discover what others aren’t saving, you’re on the right track. A crystal ball, or a trip to the fortune teller might help. Low Prices, Low Overhead When you think of diamonds, think of Mike. Home ni Keepsake Diamonds 222 MIDOCE ST .

In springtime, strolling along Middle between Johnson and New, we always get a response from them, esp- cially in the morning. That’s the block where New Bern’s most enthusiastic bird lover, Wilson Lee, lives. During last winter’s big snow we tele^oned him, and found him to be exasperated. The storm caught him without sufficient provisions for his feathered friends. At our house we scattered small pieces of bread. It is typical of human vanity that people think birds sing for their benefit. Perhaps they do, at times, but mostly they warble for their own enjoyment, or to impress an intended mate. But there’s a moral in that. You can’t express joy in your owm heart without spreading a little of it to someone else.
