' (Southall Locke) Price, Young Wed n Washington, D.G Movement From America Helps Revitalize Church By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Staff Writer LONDON ill'li A movement imported from America is Mpinc to revitalize the Church of Knp land. This ancient institution, which is the parent body of U.S. Kpisco palians and Methodists, has long suffered from a conspicuous lack of popular supiwt. Of the 40 million people who live in Kngland" 27 million, or two thirds, are nominally mem bers of the established church But only one-tenth of them attend worship services on Easter Sun day, the day of the biggest turn out. Public apathy is particularly evident in church finances. Even if you count only the taster communicants as church members, the uvcrugcf ree-will contribution from the man int he pew figures out to less than 35 cents per mem ber iht week. U.S. Averages I.M Weekly These figures may sound shock ing in America, where more than 50 er cent of the church mem bers attend worship services each Observer, La Grind, Ore, Sat., July 18, 1959 Pag 3 ANN LANDERS, Answers Your Problems Margaret Grace Price, daugh ter of Major and Mrs. Thomas L.

Innocently I fell in love with a sweet young girl and I can't get over it. I've decided to stay with my wife and four .kids because we used to get along fine before this love affair hit, and I think we can manage again. But my wife is not at all und erstanding. Ann. She keeps asking me if I stll love her. I tell her not to push me, that I've decided to stay with her and that should be enough. I see the other girl occasional ly and my wife knows it. She doesn't mention it often, but when she does I want to pack up and leave. I can't stand that hurt look in her eyes.s Why can't she act like everything is normal and give me a chance to get hold of my emotions? After all, I'm trying my best and I'm not a ma chine. All Shook Up. Dear Shook: So you're not a machine and you're "trying your bast." Wall I've got ntwf your wift't not a ma china either and she's probab ly trying HER best, too. You expect a great deal of a wom an when you ask her to act like everything is normal when she knows her husband is seeing a sweet young thing on the side. If you're serious about wanting to make a go of your marriage cut all ties with this girl and let your wife know you've finished with it. Dear Ann: My wife and I find your replies sensible and practi cal. We'd like your opinion on 'he following: Should a young person (boy or girl) after finish ing school and securing a well- paying position, continue to live with parents and not pay for room and board? We know of cases where the young people live at home free, buy themselves expensive cloth i, cars and take trips while their parents struggle to make ends meet. Is this the modern way ,t doing things? Molly and Bill. Dear Molly and Bill: People who struggle to 'put their child ren through school, then permit them to live at home free while they spend money on luxuries, are not modern, they're stupid. Even If parents do not need fi nancial help they should accept some compensation so their children can maintain their self-respect. Employed tons and daughters living at home should contribute between 25 and 30 per cent of their pay checks to parents who need a financial lift. This is much less than it would cost them te live elsewhere. Sunday, and where the average financial contribution (counting even the nominal members' is about $1.20 a week. 1 But to English churchmen, they are not surprising. This country has experienced a religious re vival since World War II, but its impact has been felt primarily among intellectuals, particularly at the great Universities of Ox ford and Cambridge, and in the upper economic groups. The ma jority of working people, far more class conscious here than in America, tend to identify the church with landlords and manag ers, and they arc not easily per suaded that its religion is rele- vent to their embattled lives. The church is trying in many different ways to break through this inherited barrier of disaffec tion. It i learning to speak out boldly on issues of popular con cern, from birth control to nucle ar tests, lt is sending specially trained industrial chaplains into the factory areas of South Lon don, Sheffield, Bristol and Bir mingham, to make friends with workers at their jobs and in their homes, lt is appealing to young people through a growing network of youth clubs that sponsor every kind of activity from rock-and-roll music sessions to week-end reli gious retreats. It is trying to make worship more meaningful. by soft-pedaling the unctuous ser mon and restoring the sacrament of Holy Communion to the central place at the Sunday morning serv ice. Bear Fruit Noticeable All of these things have begun to bear fruit, not in a spectacular way, but noticeably. The most im portant change that has taken place, according to church lead ers, stems from an idea that was quite frankly borrowed from America. About five years ago. parishes in several parts of England began to experiment with the Christian stewardship movement which has long been the mainstay of church finance in America. Stewardship is based on the rec ognition that a Christian cannot "give" in the ordinary sense of me world, because everything he "owns" already belongs to God LOCAL EVENTS Supermarket Boss J Pte Wife Shoo I WASHINGTON ll'PH Wives of supermarket managers say their ihusband DON'T bring home the !bacon.

ELGIN BRIEFS Suburbs Need Big Cities To Survive NEW YORK (UPIK-You can't run away from the urgent problems of our cities ,by mov ing lo the suburbs any more than you can avoid radio-active fallout by wearing a hat. says James II Schcuer, president of the Citl .ens Housing and Planning Coun cil of New York, Inc. The authority on housing, ur ban renewal and municipal prob lems said in an interview: "An economically healthy sub urb cannot exist independently .if the core city. It is able to carry on only bccau.se of the nearby city. If it tries to be an island unto itself, it will surely become a sunken island. "The suburb depends- on the city for employment; the best jobs at every level are in the cities, and the bulk of employ ment opportunities are in the cities. The suburb looks to the city for entertainment, for its cultural life. "Department stores can open branches in the suburbs, but the opera, the symphony, the muse ums, the universities must stay where they are in the heart of the city.
