More than 200 tons, or $220 million worth, changed hands on the London gold market in one day to establish a new single-day trading record. Where gold could be bought directly, mob scenes erupted and the price soared. Ten times the usual number of buyers jammed the gold pit in the cellar of the Paris Bourse, and fist fights broke out as the price on one day rose to $44.36 an ounce v. the official price of $35.

An inexplicable dance-hall riot among 700 teen-agers in Lewiston, Me., was quickly quelled by police, who were conveniently on hand-the dance was sponsored by the local Police Athletic League...
...would be proud as ever today. News reached the Dartmouth campus in Hanover, N.H., that a Canadian Pacific freight train had been derailed in nearby Vermont, capsizing untold thousands of cases of beer. One contingent of Dartmouth Indians made off with nearly 200 cases the first night, and a mob of them got away with 300 more the next night. The liberated liquid is now buried around campus in snow-covered mounds...
