Island clergyman who lament poor attendance in their churches might emulate Vicar Nell Nye of St. Peter's Church in liiorden. England. "Send the taxi please," calls his congregation and presto! the 39-year-old vicar who serves as a cabby is Johnny on the spot. hauling children and adults free of charge. but there is a collection box in the church to cover ex- penses.

Getting the iihekels together is the 864 problem of the run at the mill folk. But giving the stuff a- way takes up most of the time of Nathan S. Shopero of Detroit. Michigan, and he's not bad It it either. So far he has given away s10,000,000. .

He is president and chairman of the board of the I75 Cunning- ham stores scattered across the nation. Why does he give away so much money? Well it all stems back to I certain day long. long ago when he was out of the navy nad wanted a bank loan of 51,000 to clinch the purchase of a bank- rupt basement drugstore. Ilis mo- ther went to the bottom of the barrel and came up with another 31000. But his sole chance to get the store was the bank. The bank- er decided that he was a good risk and the deal went through.

Shapero began selling everything from drugs to doughnuts. Several months later Shapero opened a second store and then I third and so on till his stores numbered 175. zToday he grosses 550,000,000 a
