In Germiston South Africa an elderly woman sent seven dollars to the SPCA labeled for her dumb friends. A police club misrouted the check, and the SAPC matched it to send fourteen to the SPCA. In the United States the reluctant board hikes savings rates with a new 100000 dollar certificate and a 60 day minimum, while two year certificates stay at six percent and the passbook rate rises to 42 percent. The changes follow the Fed's move to raise rates to stimulate mortgage lending and attract marginal savers to long-term home financing through S&Ls.
