BANK OF ENGLAND
REDUCES INTEREST
RATE FROM 7 TO 6 PCT.
LONDON, UP) — The Bank of
England today reduced its inter
est rate from 7 to 6 per cent,
allowing money to be borrowed
at a lower rate. The result will
be cheaper money throughout the
sterling bloc.
The nationalized bank increas
ed the bank rate from 5 to 7 per
cent—the highest in 37 years—
last Sept. 19 as one of the tough
anti-inflationary measures of the
Conservative government to pro
ect the value of the pound ster
ling, the British currency.
Since that time the pound has
strengthened on world financial
markets.
The reduction clearly indicated
that the government felt it had
overcome the worst of the finan
cial crisis which has beset Britain
since the abortive Suez invasion.
There had been speculation, re
cently that the government might
order the reduction to counter
any adverse effects in Britain of
the American recession.

last week from a visit to Gam
bell and Savoonga. Murphy is the
Seventh-Day Adventist minister
from Selawik. His visit to St.
Lawrence Island \$as a planned
trip to meet and worship with
the people of this faith.
The members in Gambell are
proud and happy about their
place of worship that was built
last summer by authority of the
Gambell Village Council. The
building program was under the
direction of Pastor Murphy. The
church building, 16 ft. by 20 ft.,
is wired for electricity and has
its own power plant.
While there, Murphy made the
trip from Gambell to Savoonga
by dog team. Mark Lester was his
driver. It is usually an 8 or 9
hour trip.
Pastor Murphy said he enjoyed
the ride but froze the tip of his
nose just a little.
He spent two days in Savoonga
at the home of Nathan Noong
wook and church services were
conducted there. He reports the
people were very friendly and
that he enjoyed his visit very |
much.
Murphy had six reels of Bible
films to show on the island and
he said they were enjoyed very
much.
He said plans for his next visit
to the island are indefinite but
will probably be during the sum
mer of 1958.

BUCYRUS-ERIE Drills
Blast Hole—Waterwell—Prospecting
Yrra There’s money to be saved by using
* modem Bucyrus-Erie Drills. In fact,
costs are frequently lowered from 30% to
50%. The exclusive Bucyrus-Erie shock
| absorber increases speed of penetration even
in difficult formations. More snap in the
(frilling action gives more shattering blows.
More blows per minute mean more footage per shift. Faster
and easier moves and set-ups give more drilling time. Larger,
faster drilled holes provide better fragmentation. And longer
rope life plus other operating and maintenance economies
reduce costs. Many sizes and types from which to choose.
