This latest ed- ition to the steadily increasing number of languages in which Scriptures are available for the world has been produced in Edinburgh by the National Bible Society of Scotland, and is an example of international and interconfessional cooper- ation involving missionaries, natonal Christians, and the Bible Societies. The completed Scriptures have been dispatch- ed to Borneo, where they will be distributed among the Pen- an people as they follow their nomadic life around the upper reaches of the Baram River. There are some 500,000 mem- bers of the tribe, of whom about half are Christian. A strong evangelical church has grown up as a result of the pioneer work of the Borneo Evangelical Mission. \ , \ \ \ \ „ „ \ • , \ , \ , • \ \ \ \ • • \ • • • \ „\\\\ NIGHTS 482-9004 DAYS 482-9505 SUN LIFE a progressive company in a progressive industry OPTOMETRY J.

KELLER - Hard To Keep. On Schedule It hasn't come as any surprise to me at all that it is difficult to raise a family. My own dear mother used to tell what a heck of a time she had with me and I naturally suspected that I would have trouble from time to time with any family I would ever bring up. What I didn't bargain on was the fact that as the older I get (and the older my children become) the less I am my own boss. I don't mean to say that my children rule the household in the strictest sense of the word. It is just that in my eagerness for them to have a good life and experience all the wonderful things in life, I find that schedules often conflict .., and it is usually my plans which must go by the boards. It is impossible any more to go away visiting with or without the children. I'll explain. There is always something going on for the kids it seems. Their schedules are actually busier than mine and I have been editing a newspaper for the past month. That's right, when you figure three kids times the number of things each has planned you run into a whale of a number of obstacles when you want to go away. My husband and I have found it is impossible to find a day when it is convenient for everyone in the family to travel out-of-town We've just given up on that idea. But now we find we can't leave without them either because so very often, the kids' activities involve transportation here or there or ... well, to be perfectly frank we don't wish to put temptation in their paths by leaving them alone for any length of time. Every day at our house is a circus. Yesterday, for instance, was typical of the kind of frustrating happenings which go on daily ... and today hasn't changed the situation one little bit. School holidays were on this week which made things a little more awkward perhaps. It all started when my regular baby sitter had to be out of town and could not care for our youngest. No problem at all, I thought only to find out that my built-in homegrown baby sitters were all booked up solid. Fortunately for WI meets me I have a friend in town who pinch-hits for my regular baby sitter on occasion. But getting back to my kids for yesterday, I discovered that our eldest boy was going to a red hot jamming session for the whole afternoon and that our daughter had been invited by a friend's mother to spend the entire day in the big city on a shopping trip. Naturally, I assumed when I arrived home in the evening to have peace and quiet because the children had all had their excitement for the day. Not so. As soon as my husband and I hit the front doorsill we were bombarded with questions about when we could drive our eldest son to a friend's cottage to spend the night; when we could provide transportation for our daughter to a meeting out of town following an early hockey' game at the local arena; and : when our youngest son could have his playmate over — before' dinner or after. And it just so happened that last evening, my husband had an appointment at 7 o'clock and I had a meeting at 8 o'clock which' left everyone going in five different directions and only one car for the lot. What's more, we had a baby sitting problem all over again that evening! After the customary screaming and hollering which usually precedes any decision in our home, we agreed on the timetabling for the evening, I went off to my meeting convinced that everyone was happy only to return home about 10:15 to discover my husband's appointment had kept him longer than expected and had thrown out the total plan for the rest of the family. This morning when I awoke from a troubled sleep (well, who could rest after excitement like that?) I discovered a new day and new problems. Our eldest had to have transportation back home, our daughter had a full day planned from morning until well into the evening, my husband had to be at the office early and I ... well, I had left my boots at the office ... and it had snowed ... and I needed the car to get to work ... and ... oh what the heck, another typical day underway.

Letting his memory work, he recounts his experiences in which behind the face of fame he found an endearing warmth and simplicity. "His most dramatic dozen Tales". A very devoted father said to me, "I told the church I was going to cut my pledge and give more money to my kids". I started to retort, "The most important thing you can give your kids is a life of loyalty to the Church". But I asked myself if that wasn't just preacher talk, So I listed some thoughts about it. When a girl is tempted to sell out her body for a boy's promises, what will keep her from enslavement to that futile attempt to buy love? The Church's commitment to self-respect. When a boy is tempted to sell out his future for a girl's charms, what will keep him free from enslavement to passion? The Church's call to responsibility. When youth are pressured to chase the bright, elusive butterfly of narcosis, what will keep them free from that dread destiny? The Church's commitment to mission. When school gets tiresome or threatening, and the flesh asks, "Why go on?", what will keep students from that impoverished end? The Church's Word about purposive living. When business opportunity makes integrity seem useless and unrealistic, what will keep our loved ones from enslavement to remorse and self-hate? The Church's word about judgement. When danger looms and cowardice bids; forsake parents or country, what holds men from enslavement to dishonor or treason? The Church's word about faithfulness even unto death. When family pressures and personal conflicts call youth to thrill and novelty and abdication, what keeps them The regular meeting of the Clinton Women's Institute was held in the Town Hall Council Chambers on Thursday, March 25, with 24 members and four visitors present.
