Village Walls Up Parish Priest PIZZOLANO, Italy (Reuters)-- Police threw tear gas bombs here Wednesday to disperse more, than 500 villagers who, as a sign of affection, tried to "wall up" their parish priest in his church. The entire adult population of the village turned out, many with pitchforks, to prevent the depar- ture of popular priest Saverio Della Mura, due to leave for an- other post. Villagers blocked up all the church doors and windows with tables held in position by sev- ered telegraph poles. The priest's waiting car was carried away by the strongest men in the village and locked in a barn. Police threw the tear - gas bombs after unsuccessfully" ap- pealing to the villagers to go home. When the priest emerged from the church, he said the demon- stration had persuaded him to stay and he would ask the arch- $399,400,000. bishop of nearby Salerno to an- nul the posting.

This was the highest month-end this year, but was little changed from the $1,939,100,000 in gold and U.S. dollars at the end of last year.

Aitken, of Calvary Baptist Church, stated he had visited 22 ple in the hospital who were listed as "Protestant" or "No Church". The ministerial association decided that two min- isters should undertake this serv. ice each month, the names to run alphabetically. | For the remainder of this month, the ministers who will be hospital visitors are Rev. S. C. H. Atkinson and Rev. M. A, Bury. They do not represent their own church or their own denomination bu are representa- tives of the whole Church of God to those patients who are not list- ed under any particular church. Rev.
