Eighteen workers at the Carling National brewery plant in Baltimore volunteered to bottle water for hurricane Hugo victims in South Carolina. Plant manager John T. Gaustad said the process mirrored beer production, with 400 bottles per minute washed and filled. Bottles and transport were donated by Foster Forbes Glass, American National Can, Pitzer Trucking, and ARA Food Service, aiding two tractor-trailer loads of water.

Telemarketing aims to fill pews at small Maryland church
The Rev. Richard Jenks of Mays Chapel United Methodist Church plans 16 600 phone calls to attract worshippers from nearby upscale neighborhoods. He expects about 1 000 requests for literature and around 100 new members by Palm Sunday, using the Phones For You system as a form of modern evangelism. He notes the approach may yield a heavy response but prefers blessing those who already belong to other churches.
