...National Council of Churches reported a new high in church giving. During the past fiscal year, members of 47 Protestant and Eastern Orthodox denominations contributed $1,286,633,160, or about 10% more than the year before. The average member gave his church $34.32. Most generous givers: the Free Methodists (membership 48,574), with an average of $194.79, and the Seventh-Day Adventists (membership 245,974), who averaged...
...speeding ticket which I received at the able hands of Officer McDermott . . . was generous in listing my speed as 65, when both he and I knew I was going somewhat faster ...

What on earth sane-minded people can see in these blotches of color is beyond me. Picasso was bad enough, but this is really the limit! Pittsburgh has long been noted for its smoky atmosphere, and I would not be a bit surprised if the soot coming out of its innumerable chimneys has finally obscured...
