(AP) 12 years, members of a Methodist church in this central Pennsylvania town worked to raise funds for a new building. Now theyre lending the money to help their aging community attract a new industry. A month ago, the town was dealt a severe economic blow by drastic cutbacks at West-vac- o Corp., a paper mill that had been its leading employer for 90 years. Some 550 of the towns 3,500-mawork force were left jobless. Seeking a solution to the problem, the congregation of the Columbia Avenue Methodist Church voted to lend $100,000 to the Tyrone Improvement Corp. to finance a $1 million industrial development project. At a time when the com n munity ;does not have adequate funds to attract new industry, we are making them said the Rev. available, Leroy J.' Harrison, the pastor. The congregation has been holding services in makeshift quarters since the church burned eight years ago. We felt that this was probably more urgent than building our new church," the minister said. We do have facilities and using them is better than not having our men able to make a livelihood for their v families. . . The churchs loan repre- sents the required 10 per cent of mortgage money necessary to obtain development funds through the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority PIDA. It will enable us to offer immediate financing through PIDA to prospective Industry without having to wait for the receipts of our own fund drive. said Harry K. Sickler, president of the Tyrone Improvement Corp. Sickler said the money would be repaid to the church by April 1, 1973, with receipts of a local fund drive. The Rev. Mr. Harrison says his church will make more available if its money needed. As Christians we are bound to minister to the town in this way, he said. We feel this is simply part of a Christian commitment and Christian opportunity. We are not looking at it as something unique. We think it is something the Christian Gospel demands that we do. Economy Major '71 Concern BY LOUIS HARRIS As the country enters 1971, worry about the state of the economy dominates the concerns of the American people. Rising prices and continuing unemployment emerge as the volunteered per cent they feel the new should address problems of 63 Congress itself. The Harris Survey asked a cross section of 1.593 households these questions: What are the two or three top problems facing people cuch as yourself that you would like to see the new Congress do Anything something about and What do you else? think ought to be done about it? The focus of the issues is in the main on domestic afiairs. And the roster of concerns about which people are looking to the Congress to take action is long, indeed. In fact, person interviewed in the survey volunteered at least two problems requiring high priority attention and sometimes many more than that.. Here is whatjthe public h wants done on each of these key areas of concern : On the economy, by a margin, the central focus is still on prices. A majority would like to see federal price and wage controls or guidelines established to keep down the cost of living. There is also some sentiment for keeping wages abreast of rising prices and to lower interest rates on borrowing. In the matter of pollution, the demand is that stricter laws be passed, particularly restricting and penalizing industrial pollution. Automobiles are also singled out frequently and ihe public favors tighter regulation of car exhaust systems.

Six of the Stratofortresses dropped 180 tons of bombs less than half a mile from the Demilitarized Zone and the Laotian border, and at the head of the A Shau Valley 60 miles to the southeast along the Laotian border. The U.S. Command said the infiltration were targets routes, storage sites, bunkers, base camps and staging areas. Since last October, the B52s have been used almost entirely against the Ho Chi Minh trail, trying to cut the movement of supplies and reinforcements before they reach South Vietnam. During the past three months, the big bomvrs have flown nearly 3,000 sorties against targets in Laos, compared to about 100 in South Vietnam.

Mansfield bolstered the proposal with an endorsement in the wake of Saturdays adjournment last-minu- te of the days since convening last Jan' uary. After the legislative session we could sit around and let it set for awhile, then we would appropriate and we would know what were Magnuson explained. doing, You know, there are times now when theyve been up there on the Senate floor changing a poverty program, for example, while weve been in an Appropriations Committee meeting appropriating money for the old program. When the 92nd Congress convenes Jan. 21 it will be responsible for acting on proposed government programs and budgets for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1971. However it has become seemingly impossible for Congress to get that job done by July 1 each year. The Transportation Depart- ment has been granted money through March 1971 for the project while the question of whether there should be an SST at all is still very much up in the air. WASHINGTON (UPI) It was easy to find fault with the Slst Congress in the glare of of the filibusters and foul-up- s its rush for adjournment.

There was anticrime legislation too, designed to put the bite on bombers, burners, drug peddlers, petnappers, gangsters and polluters of water and air.

In fact, there was extra money for a lot of programs, so much that President Nixons projected budget surplus of $1.3 billion turned into a projected deficit that could total $16 billion or more. . The 91st had lapses that left open to debate whether it had produced an accomplishment or failure. It legislated the end of a railroad strike, but left the door open to another strike March 1.
