SILVER SPRINGS. Fla.-Flor-

taken on a new modern look
with the completion of struc-
lures that have replaced the
buildings destroyed by fire in
June. 1855.
Wide covered walks on all sides
Of the structures provide tourists
with shade and shelter when it
is needed. These walkways also
connect the main building with
the nearby coffee shop and res
taurant, and circle the Springs
waterfront.
Constructed Of Sierra tan

dant use of steel and glass. the
main building curves gracefully
around the Spring from which
the glass bottom boats operate.
New gift shops front a wide
skylighted promenade that over
looks the Spring.
The grounds surrounding the
building provide great picture
possibilities.
Paved parking facilities have
been greatly enlarged.

New Excursion Fare Cuts

The new tariff, effective at

similar reduction only If two or
more persons travelled together.
Under the new plan, one person,
or any number of persons, flying

States. can cut their transporta-
ton costs by taking advantage
of the new excursion fare.
BY using the excursion fare,
passengers from Washington,

travel around South America for

Young people Of the Jewish

ing but placed last in church
attendance. Catholics. who are

more of a factor in answering

. At this time of the year. when
religious sentiments are so fer
vently linked with the spirit
Of Christmas. it might be well
, to examine the attitudes Of
young people toward religion
and churchgoing.
In an earlier survey, We found
that teen-agers in grammar
and high schools expressed a
keen interest in religion and
for the most part practiced
their faith with some degree
of regularity. But what about
young adults? Do teen-agerS
tend to change their religious
tendencies as they grow older
and approach manhood?
There has been much talk
lately Of a religious revival in
America. q mass return to God
in a time Of international ten
sion. Church membership is
at an all-time high Of 100 mil

name the biblical character
who saw the handwriting on
the wall or the one who sold
his birthright for . mess of
pottage.
The Christmas spirit, at
least. helped to bring up many
of the scores. Seven out Of 10
knew that Joseph was q car
penter. that Jesus was born
at Bethlehem and that the
Romans controlled Judea at
the time Of His birth.
In general, New Testament
questions brought a higher per-
centage of correct answers
than questions about the Old
Testament. The only major ex-
eeption to this was Noah, with

Bosic Ignorance Found

But from surveys We have
completed among maturing
young people in the II to p

this spiritual renaissance has
encountered a major roadblock
In reaching the generation now

Evidence Of a spiritual stam-
pede on a national scale must
be weighed against these con-
clusions reached by our re-
: searcherS:

about their religicn-or any

Perhaps nowhere was THIS
lack Of interest among young
people in religion more evident
than in their abysmally low
scores on q simple Bible test.
In general, the questions
were worded simply and were
based on standard biblical tests.
Some might have got by
and probably some did-on
their knowledge Of the Bible
as literature. Those who
claimed no church afiliation
scored only a few points below
the already low average for
the churchgoing group.
Yet. for all groups and all
faiths, the simplest questions
evoked the most shocking dis
plays Of ignorance. Only ;
out Of 10 knew that Paul was
the Apostle Of the Gentiles or
that Thomas was known as
