Agency Aid Puts Shoes
On z Adopted Nephews

I'm pretty good at shopping

could not afford winter cloth
ing for the two boys.
In October, Mrs. Lawrence
appealed to the Social Welfare
Department Of the Council of
Churches, National Capital
Area. She received a $40 cloth
ing grant. She appealed to the
agency again at Christmas, and
received sis. for food, clothing
and toys.
Because Of you," Mrs. Law
renee wrote the agency in jan
uary, I'VE have experienced
one of the happiest Christmas
es Of our lives Z. :"

Yom Kippur Rites
Begin at Sunset

Yom Kippur, the highest holy
day Of Judaism, begins at sun
down today.
Orthodox. Reform and Con-
servative Jews throughout the
world will join in observance OF
the Day of Atonement which
marks the end of the To-day
period following the Jewish New
Year, Rosh Hoshonoh.
The observation begins at the
sundown services with the sing
ing Of the Kol Nidre, an ancient
musical plea for remission of
hasty and impetuous decisions.
Yom Kippur prayers and
sermons usually call upon man
to overcome personal error and
dereliction, and to strive for
self-improvement and better
understanding of family and
neighbor. Prayers also include
pleas for world peace and the
elimination of poverty, hunger
and prejudice.
The holy day observance
comes to close with the sound
ing Of the Shofar, or rams
horn.

The Lawrences later received
another grant, for $25.
Mrs. Lawrence promptly re-
turned the money, thanking
the agency for its interest. She
explained that the nephews
had rejoined their family in
April when their mother came
back from the hospital.
She added that Mr.. Law
renee, having completed his ap-
premiership, was now earning
more than 500 a week as a
painter with the National Cap
ital Housing Authority.
Perhaps the grant might
be used for someone else," she
said.
Mrs. Lawrence, who attended
college and writes short stories
in her spare time, is contrib
uting to the United Givers
Fund.

ber agencies include the Social

who have been recipients of this

New York University has played
an important part inmy life. Also
it has played an important part in
the lives of many of my fellow

than in any other college in the
United States.
New York University was one
of the first of the major institu-
tons of higher learning to con-
duct accredited courses in the Is
lands. Today, many Virgin Islands
students who studies at this hon
cred institution are making vital
contributions in leadership in the
islands in many walks Of life.

Gold Reserves
Hold Steady
During Week

NEW YORK. Sept. 7 tAP).-
The Nations gold reserves held
steady at $16.Oss. .OOO. 900 in the
week ended Wednesday, the
Federal Reserve Board re-
ported.
The period of stability fol-
lowed a $50 million dip in the
gold stockpile in the preceding
week. the first reduction in four
weeks.
For the year to date, the net
gold outflow thus continued to
stand at $792 million.
Changes in the level of gold
reserves have been closely
watched in recent years as a
measure of Government efforts
to stabilize international pay
ments, and strengthen the
security Of the dollar.
A weekly net gain has yet to
occur this year.
The Reserve Board said free
reserves of member banks de-
clined to a daily average of
S345 million from a revised
figure Of $462 million during
the preceding week. y
Free reserves are a measure
Of funds available for lending
by banks. and reflect board
monetary policy. However, there
was no indication that the drop
last week was due to anything
other than temporary cyclical
factors.
