This was "Twentieth Century Folk Mass," the product of one Fr. Geoffrey Beaumont, which has recently been recorded by the highly competent orchestra of Frank Weir (who is a sort of British Percy Faith).

Northrop Aircraft's payrollers in Los Angeles raised their contribution to the local A.I.D. chest from $269,000 last year to $307,000 this fall.
