United Church of Canada and| the 10,000-member Evangelical | United Brethren will merge in| January. | Some local mergers already have taken place in Ontario. A} London congregation of Evan-| gelical United Brethren merged | with a United church in 1958 and last June the congregation of an EUB church in Chesley joined a United church. In the South Cayuga area, two! United churches have closed so that their congregations might | worship with the Evangelical United Brethren. The move toward union came after the American Evengelical | United Brethren began negotiat- ing union with Methodists in the U.S. The Canadian EUB then had to decide whether they should become an extension of the American Methodist Church or join with the United Church of Canada, Union was approved by 73 per cent last May in Hamilton at a meeting of the Canada Confer- ence of the EUB. It was ap- proved in 1966 by the general council of the United Church. Emerson Hallman, superin- tendent of the Canada Confer- ence, said 10 churches in the Pembroke area are losing some members because of the union, and Rev. Lynn Snyder, formerly minister of Lisbon EUB Church near Kitchener, said a majority of his congregation have left the EUB because they did not favor union, The plan of union allows each congregation to determine its own Sunday school program, or- ganization and its future asso- ciation with neighboring congre- gations. The EUB had its origin more than 100 years ago with camp meetings among the German- speaking people of Pennsylva- nia. It expanded into Canada in the Kitchener, Stratford and Ni- agara Peninsula areas. Later congregations were established in the upper Ottawa Valley and + Western Canada. Economic Ills Seen SAIGON (Reuters) -- US. economic experts here believe efforts to balance the precarious | South Vietnamese wartime, economy will suffer a setback in, 1968. A forecast drop in imports--| mainly the result of*over-order- | ing this year--will make it hard- er to fight inflation, the experts said "Things are going to be sezi- ous in 1968, but nothing like the crazy days in 1965 and 1966," one U.S. official predicted today. Devaluation of the piastre and introduction of a U,S.-financed commodity imports program have government planners in 1966 their firmest grip on the economy since the massive American troop build-up the previous year nearly shattered an already-tottering economic structure, Inflation slowed as the rush of imports forced down prices of previously scarce items. But importers lost their heads and over-ordered, The economic experts who advise the govern- ment said some of the impor- ters now are in severe financial straits. Another factor expected to un- balance the economy is a planned rise in government spending. More money will be spent on the armed forces and much mére on the crucial paci- fication programs. But on the positive side, the U.S. experts said the govern- ment is 'improving and extend- ing the collection of domestic taxes. The agricultural situation in the country is ambiguous.

Floods , Recede BONN (Reuters) -- Christmas floods receded across parts of West Germany Tuesday, but they left behind a new peril-- East German frontier land- mines. Police feared raging torrents washed some of the mines from the heavily-fortified East Ger- man border several miles into the West German state of Bava- ria. They warned the population to look out for the mines, which were either in wooden contain- ers or plateshaped plastic. The floods, caused by melting snow and heavy rain, killed three persons and left a swathe of destruction near the Rhine, Main and Moselle'rivers. Hun- i dreds of persons were driven from their homes as the swollen rivers overran their banks. The floods reached their high noir' Christmas Eve, but reced- ad.
