 Pew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pews were originally purchased from the church by their owners under this system, and the purchase price of the pews went to the costs of building the church.
Pews are generally made of wood and arranged in rows facing the altar in a church.
Usually a pathway is left between pews in the center of the sanctuary to allow for a procession; some have benchlike cushioned seating or even footrests, although more traditional, conservative churches usually have neither cushions nor footrests.

 Growing Cell-Only Population Does Not Undermine National Polls in the U.S., Says Pew Research Center | Tekrati Research ...
In Pew Research Center surveys over the past five years, the average percentage of those ages 18-34 in unweighted samples declined from 31% in 2000 to 20% through March 2006 (the population parameter was essentially unchanged through this period).
Pew Research Center says the relatively small size of the cell-only group, along with the demographic weighting performed when it is combined with the landline sample, accounts for the minimal change in the overall findings.
This research effort was undertaken by the Pew Research Center, in conjunction with the Associated Press and AOL, to assess the challenge posed by cell phones to random digit dial surveys.
