When Britain devalued, she raised her discount rate to 8 per cent, where it now stands.

One source said the U.S. increase is only a partial meas. ure. He said the board still feels adoption of the 10 per cent tax surcharge proposed by President Johnson is imperative. An increase in the discount rate in December 1965 coupled with other tightening techniques raised interest rates to their highest levels in 40 years and dried up the supply of mortgage money.

EVERY PERSON A WORSHIPER Too many people who attend church are not worshipers. To worship one must be allowed to participate in worship. Many people are simply observers, or spectators of worship. People listen to the Bible being read, they 'listen to the choir sing, they listen to the minister preach. is a form of spectator worship.

It is our desire that our worship service involve the people, who come, in a worship experience. The worshiper participates in reading the Scriptures. He participates in pray- er. He is given quiet time to confess his personal sins. Many churches in our city offer this kind of worship experience.

If you seek a church home we invite you to worship with us. CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN Madison at Golf Club Lane E.

It included 255 blue white straws, one orange, one red and one white. The record straw was successfully transported, intact, to the football stadium by 12 students. While toying with the project at the beginning, DeWein said that he discovered he coulddrink a coke from three tables over. The drinkability of the record is doubtful.

What was the purpose of the unique project? It was to challenge other universities to see if they can equal or surpass the record.
