Electra Webb loved to talk in such proverbs, and the new memorial building at Shelburne faithfully reflects her homespun, silver-spoon style. The Rembrandts in the living room complement a Chippendale sofa covered in needlepoint, an English secretary and an English gaming table. Mary Cassatt's pastel of Electra's mother hangs in her bedroom. Desk and dresser tops are crowded with silver-framed photographs of her children and grandchildren-and a white satin pillow on the bed bears the red-embroidered maxim: "We live in deeds, not years...

...most elegant birthday party Rome had seen in years. There were black Lancias and motorcycle escorts for the guests. They were attended by pages in medieval red and gold coats and silver-buckled shoes, and listened to festive speeches amid the baroque frescoes in the Palazzo dei Conservatori.

The only trouble was that the men who should have been there to celebrate the tenth anniversary...

...take the U.S. completely off the silver standard, Congress is speeding action on a bill that will allow the Treasury (after a one-year wait) to stop redeeming in silver the $553 million of old silver certificate bills that are still in circulation or hoarded away. That action would free 430 million oz. of Treasury silver now frozen by law as backing for the currency.

Frenzied Rush. In Idaho's Coeur d'Alene mining country, source of nearly half the nation's silver, that possibility has helped fire up a frenzied rush to buy land, stake new claims and expand prospecting. "Everybody around here is participating," said R. J. Bruning, editor-publisher of the Northern Idaho Press, who is also president of two small mining firms.
