But the total cost. of the big show that included everything from s beauty pageant to an opera. was actually $224,412.

Anglicans Continue Divorce Discussions

Synod

By Rae Corelli

HALIFAX. Sept.‘ 14 —(CP) — The Lower House of the 17th Gen- eroi Synod of the Church of Eng- land in mnada voted today to per- mit the "innocent party" to a divorce to re-marry and keep ell Church services and sacraments.

A motion endorsing this action, sponsored by the Diocese of Cal- gary, needs approval of the House of Bishops before a move can be made to amend the Church's law on marriage and divorce.

The vote in the Lower House-a close 92-76—was preceded by vigor- ous debate.

It was not known when n decis- ion will be reached by the Upper House. if it is approved. the reso- lution would become law on the introduction and passage of an amendment which probably would originate in the Upper House.

The Synod also today deferred action on pension increases of $200 for its clergy and their widows. A motion advocating this arose dur- ing consideration of the Pension

Rumors SS-ay Action Planned This Week-End

nor-mow, se t. 14 - (OP-Des- pite pressure rom abroad to de- value the pound sterling, Britain B11- nounced intention‘ to maintain the existing level.

A Treasury spokesman pointed to the moat recent public statement of Sir Stafford Crlpps, Chancellor of the Exchequer, that Britain has not “the slightest intention" of de- valuing her currency,

Asked by reporters about a Lon-

don dlspatch published in the New York Times that Britain may reduce the value of the pound this week-end from its present official level of $4.03 to 8.20, the spokes- man said: "This story is not new. I csn only refer you to past pronounce- ments on the subject by the Chen- cellor of the Exchequer."

Sir Stafford said July 6 in the House of Commons that Britain intends to stand on the present pound valuation. He tcld report- ers in New York Sept. ‘l he was sticking by that statement.

Financial observers noted, never- theless, that no government would indicate officially in advance that

i- it has decided upon, or is oven

considering, revaluation of its cur- rency. To do so would invlic world-wide speculation in the cur- rency involved.

Partly because of the g cssing on pound devaluation, British Gov- ernment bonds edged lower today. Some industrial and gold-mining shares gained slightly. The ad- vance ranged between one shilling and half a crown (20 cents to 50 cents),

In New York quotations of Bri- tish pounds for 30-day forward delivery closed with a. loss of more than four cents at. $3.92 13-16 for the day. I

Rumor and speculation con- cerning the pound spurted nnew following conclusion of the British- American-Canadian dollar talks in Washington Monday, and the opening of the annual meeting of the World Bank and Monetary Fund there Tuesday.

With fine summer weather pre- vailing, the largest crowd in its history attended the Egmont Bay and Mont Carmel exhibition yes- terday afternoon. While the quan- tity of the exhibits did not ap- pear to be as large as formerly, possibly clue to the fine weather prevailing for harvesting and other outdoor work. the overall quality of the produce of the farm and the home was maintained.

The fair was declared formally open by His Honor Lieutenant Governor J.A. Bernard. who was the first among a number of dis- tinguished speakers. Rev. N. Poir- icr. honorary president of the Ex- hibition Association presided and the gathering was addressed by Premier J’, Walter Jones, the Hon. Alan Stewart, Minister of Agric- ulture. the Hon. J.
