Sends $10,000 For Relief The United Church of Canada cabled $10,000 last month to the World Council of Churches, Geneva, for aid to victims of three recent cyclones in southern India. This was the second grant made in November by the United Church World Develop- ment Service and Relief Com- mittee. A similar amount was sent previously to aid the people of the Mathare Valley in Kenya, who had been made homeless by a fire which devastated the large ‘squatter town outside Nairobi. * The grant to India is in anticipation of an appeal by the World Council of Churches for additional funds to the $208,000 being held by the’;National Couneil of Churches in. India for’ such emergencies. Cyclones are::unusual in India: but three of them struck ‘last month,-causing death and < ‘destruction in Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu.

Teenagers made up the majority of the people attend- ing, however, there were a few adults and young adults in, attendance, * «We took this fact into account before-hand,. and -pre- * pared a little law of our own which states that anyone older ‘than 19 years must get a teenager to sign the adult in and the teenager must take all the responsibility if the adult gets out of hand. The way I look at it is teenagers have to abide by the set of laws and rules set down by the adult society, so maybe it is about time the adults lived by a few of our rules, There was a problem that we did run into concerning the Disco and that was the time of termination: We had advertised - . the end of the dance as 12 For You WITH GIFTS *FORHIM - Back & Decker Power Tools Proto Tools © FOR HER This Week Only At 490 Front Steet Hairblower Coffee Maker House Wares FOR THE FAMILY Fireptace Accessories Ouraflame colour-fire Logs midnight and. so we had to abide by it.

Our Wouldn't you know the American government has al- ready devised a way to tax powdered booze, although it isn't even being sold in the U.S, yet? The -Japanese are now stirring the powder into water for cocktails, and there is talk of marketing it in North America soon. So the U.S. Treasury has been hard at work, The product would have been exempt from tax under _ present laws on alcohol taxa-~ tion which refer only to liquids. As a’ result, agency experts have decided to impose taxes based on the alcohol content created--when the powder is “dissolved in a specified amount: * of water. So if you ever make the reasonable mistake of mixing your drink stronger than re- commended, you'll have paid -less tax than you should have on that drink but will find the jar goes so quickly the trade off may not be worthwhile.
