The appearance Of the death watch

in sending funds to assist in combat
ing the work of the beetle and In
restoratt Jon of the cathedral.
The generosity of Americans. the
dean says, is in great contrast Amer
lean money, he points out, has
enabled nearly half the work 10 be
done, and by the end of the year he
expects to have enough American
dollars TO pay for the restoration OF
the central tower and two transepts
Scores of English tourists visit the
cathedral. but few of them go to him
with a 10-pound note, as the Ameri-
cans do, and say, Here is a trifie for
your fund" according to the dean.
