In 1893, more than 100,080 people rushed to the Cherokee Strip in Oklahoma as the area was opened to hnmpgtparting In 1940, the United States introduced the Selective Service and Training Act. In 1963, Malaysia was created, occupying the southern portion of the Malay Peninsula and the northern part of Borneo. The country is the world's largest producer of rubber. ^ In 1974, President Gerald Ford offered conditional amnesty to Vietnam draft dodgers and evaders if they performed up to two years of public service. *• In 1983, Vanessa Williams of New York became the first black to be named Miss America.

The five-hour event was billed as the largest test of the system, creat­ ed to provide medical assistance and evacuation aid should a "mass casualty" disaster occur. "This is a national attempt, staged only in this region," said Prince George's County Fire Chief Jim Eastep. "Military officials say it's working very well and similar coordinated tests may be carried out throughout the country." About 300 "victims," supposedly from a devastating earthquake in St. Louis, Mo., arrived aboard C-130 cargo planes at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C., and at Baltimore-Washington Interna­ tional Airport in suburban Baltimore. The volunteer victims were from the Washington area and the planes flew only around the airports, offi­ cials Said. < r sUj Authorities gave preliminary treatment to victims, determined the seriousness of the injuries, and took them to 19 area hospitals. Some 35 ambulances and 15 mili­ tary helicopters also were on the scene to take volunteers for treat­ ment in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia. A special Amtrak train will trans­ port victims from the airport's rail­ road station. William Clark, director of field operations, said the drill was con­ ducted "as if it were the real thing" and "on a scale that has never been tried before." The "injuries" were created with fake blood and makeup, Eastep said. American Red Cross volunteers began feeding the victims outside Andrews. Because of the extraordinary size and complexity of the disaster drill, special computerized communica­ tions links were set up between the airports, hospitals and staging facil­ ities, officials said. Area fire departments and rescue squads provided ground transporta­ tion, and Maryland State Police hell- copters took some injured to shock- trauma centers in Baltimore and Washington. The U.S. Army, Navy* Air Force and Coast Guard, the National Guard and the Red Cross participate ed in the exercise. ByAdamKeDiher United Press International HONG KONG - The Canadian Maple Leaf, bolstered by flagging sales of the South African Kruger­ rand, has made a dramatic impact on the Hong Kong gold market, with sales totalling more than $2.8 million since trading began this month. In banks across the territory, fears of a U.S. ban on Krugerrand imports -- more than objections-to­ ward Pretoria's offidal policy of ra­ cial segregation known as apartheid -- have pushed retail consumers into cashing in their South African gold, dealers said. A spokesman of the East Asia Bank said on a typical trading day the bank repurchased 300 Kruger- rands and sold only 20 compared with the sale of 160 Canadian Maple Leafs. A dealer at the Hang Seng Bank said Krugerrands were being bought back at "an unusual amount" of 200- 300 per day, while sales were about 100 a day -- level with the Maple Leaf. In Johannesburg, officals would not comment on the effect of the Maple Leaf, but insisted that the retail consumer gold market world­ wide remains very buoyant. Maple Leaf offcials said during the first week of Maple Leaf trading in Hong Kong, more than 9,000 ounces of Canadian gold wore sold. So far sales have totalled more than $2.8 million. But one dealer said he believed that apart from introducing an ele­ ment of choice, the Canadian coin's timely appearance was not under­ mining or automatically supplanting the Krugerrand. , "The Maple Leaf has nothing to do with Krugerrand sales. It has its own problem," said the dealer who requested anonymity. With immigration to the) United States a common desire An Hong Kong, real or imagined fears of the Krugerrand's long term internation­ al liquidity appeared following con­ gressional discussions on possible sanctions one month ago. Reagan announced Sept. 9 the United States would consider a ban on Krugerrand imports among limit­ ed economic sanctions against the white minority government. And the Maple Leaf's immediate acceptabil­ ity in the territory was indicative of a worldwide ascendance of the Ca­ nadian coin -- a rise that has pro­ gressed in tandem with South Afri­ ca's political troubles. In 1964, Canadian officials said, sales doubled to a 27 percent share of the world market. WOU DON'T HAVE§ TO BE OVERWEIGHT!

The large mass of cool air from Canada was slowing moving south­ east, bringing dear skies and unsea­ sonably cool temperatures to most of the nation east of the Mississippi, the National Weather Service said. It was the second consecutive morning that several records were broken or tied from the Eapt Coast to the Great Lakes. Early morning low temperatures dipped into the 40s as far south as northern Alabama and Georgia, while readings in the 30s occurred as far south as western North Carolina. In Montgomery, Ala., a record low 55 degrees set in 1892 was shattered by a 50 degree reading Sunday morning. The mercury dropped to 39 degrees in Jackson, Miss., edipsing the old record of 44 set in 19(79. It was a mere 38 degrees in the nation's capital, breaking a record of 41 set in 1975. A 40-degree reading in Chicago broke last year's record of of 41. The temperature dropped to 41 in Knoxville, Tenn., breaking a record set back in 1902. Record lows set in that year were also broken in Chat­ tanooga, Tenn., Mobile, Ala., and Athens, Ga. The strong high pressure system resulted in gusty winds across coast­ al sections of the Gulf of Mexico, southeast Georgia and Florida, the combination of the gusty winds and high tides could cause some shallow coastal flooding and beach erosion across the region Sunday, the Na­ tional Weather Service said. A few rainshowers were reported across the Padfic Northwest. Scat­ tered showers and thundershowers occurred over the Rockies, the cen­ tral Plains and off the Texas coast. Some significant rainfall occurred early Sunday over sections of Idaho. Grangeville and Lewiston received more than a half inch of rain overnight. « u 55 IS 78 M m ss •3 I? 87 SI ao 17 •1 17 50 14 M M 77 SS 73 SS 77 SB 58 14 «1 16 71 SS 101 42 •1 37 •2 17 C7 SO S3 11 » 13 •0 37 m is SO 87 70 31 C7 IS 47 OS SO 15 46 08 cy-cloudy FABTECH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE & EXPOSITION McCORMICK PLACE WEST • CHICAGO September 17-T9,T985 Don't miss fabricating's key productivity event!
