THE BIBLE
TODAY
The 1967 Budget for Bible
translation and distribution
work throughout the world was
fixed at almost $7,000,000 at a
meeting of. the United Bible
Societies’ Executive Committee
recently in Berlin. This repre
sents the amount needed to be
found by the Bible Societies
to ciovex’ the cost of the work
in non-self-supporting areas of
the world.
Deficit is a necessary ’ con-
corniitant of the Bible Societies’
policies: almost all editions are
subsidized; the Bible Societies
sponsor or are related to cur
rent Scripture translation or
revision work in 750 languages
($700,000); Scripture distribu
tion facilities are maintained
in 120 countries.
The Executive Committee re
ported vVith regret that a num
ber of projects for 1967, costing
in all $230,000, had had to be
Omitted from the budget. The
U.B.S. Secretary, Dr. Olivier
Seguin, commented: “It is
most disturbing that work
Should have to be curtailed at
the present time when Wide
spread opportunities are< offer
ed for Bible Work throughout
the world.
“The Bible Societies are
ed With opportunities
spreading the Word of
Which they cannot meet
lack of funds. This is a
story,” added Dr. Beguln.

Rambling With Lucy
Recent Storm Recalls Events Of
The Great Lakes Disaster, 1913
The recent storm of November 3 was recorded at Detroit
ais file worst at such an early date. Ship’s masters heeded
wiarxiings and put into pprt .or took shelter in suqh places as
the lea of Kettle Point,. There were over 20 in the St. Marys
River alone. Thus a reoccurance of the terrible disaster’of
November 9, 1913 was averted. • A
In that year, heavy gale warnings were posted on Friday
morning. The storm commenced on Lake Superior on Satur
day, but was at its height on Lake Huron on Sunday evening,
November 9. For 16 hours, winds 60-miles-an-hour and over
switched first one. way and then another, sometimes meeting
the 3’5 foot waves created when it had’been in another direc
tion. Many ships were caught on open water, Those not for
tunate enough to make port included two on Lake Superior an,d
eight on Lake Huron which went to the bottom, with a total
■loss of life of 235 and net one survivor to tell the tale! Those
Ships on Lake Huron were the “Charles S. Price”, “Isaac M-
Scott”, “James iCarruthers”, “Wexford", ^Regina”, ‘‘John A.
McGean”, "Argus”, “Hydrus”. The “Wexford” and “Leaside”
(which t Was lost in Lake Superior) were typical British tramp
ships which had weathered gales on salt water to most ports
in the world before coming to the Great Lakes service.
At one time there were thought to have been five ships
outside (Goderich harbour unable to get in owing to 25 foot
waves. Distress signals were seen but no help could 'be given.
Two ships were thought to have gone down off Bayfield.
The storm continued into Tuesday with a heavy snow
fall, Telephone lines were down and many roads blocked by
deep drifts making communications difficult.
More than 60 bodies were- found oh Lake Huron’s beach.
Not all were identified. In Maitland Cemetery, Goderich, a
dark red polished obelisk with an anchor carved on top marks
the graves of five unknown sailors whose lives were lost in
the Great Lakes Disaster, November 9, 1913. '
T. C. Bailey informed Lucy that the first four bodies
brought to Bayfield were found near Drysdale. Then two
more were found from two to four miles south of the village.
They were brought to Erwin's undertaking rooms and there
•were six bodies [there at one time before being removed to
Goderich. Lucy's father was coroner. Erwin’s had a furniture
shop and a shed attached where the bodies rested (now Bay-
field Public Library).
Several other bodies were found.in the days to come. One
below the present “Marsfield” was thought to be Charlie
(“Fagey”) Ferguson. Members of the family were asked to
identify him. Alex (“Pierre”) took one look and turned away
with tears in his eyes; “It’s him, alright.” But Miss Norah
Ferguson wasn’t so sure. She asked to see the man’s back.
Then she knew it wasn’t her brother for despite the re
semblance land the same gold tooth, there was no small birth
mark on this man’s back.
Captain Jack Ferguson had let them know that he was
safe but it was .a few days before Charlie communicated with
the family. He had had a difficult 'time.- The ship on which
lie was mate had reached port with great difficulty and then
been torn away from her mooring twice by the gale,
Lucy remembers the storm well. She and her sister Jean
'attended Trinity .Church Sunday School in the afternoon. After
Sunday School they went, as usual, to the home or her father’s
cousin, Mrs. G. H. Hewson (Mrs. J. E. Howard’s residence).
She took the Toronto Daily Star and saved the Burgess Bed
time Stories every day 'and read them to the girls each Sunday.
Going home about five o’clock, Lucy and Jean had to stop
frequently and turn their backs to the driving wind and snow
to get their ibreath. But storm or no storm, they walked to
church at night with their parents! And they got home safely.
Mr. 'and Mrs. Edwards and Floy got lost land didn’t know where
they were until they were blown against Capt. J. Ferguson’s
fence (now Brigadier F, A. Clift’s). From that corner they
literally felt their way .home.
It must be remembered that in those days the road from
Main St.. Eaist to Main St. West ran right straight through
Clan Gregor Square, and a branch in the middle joined Louisa
Street. A horse and buggy trail cut through the square from
St. Andrew’s United Church to Louisa Street, and this is the
road the Woods and Edwards and probably other families took
that night in the pitch blackness and howling winds. The
weather did not keep people home from worship in those days.
, (Soon after this, a large Coleman gas light was erected at
i Louisa Street and Clan Gregor Square but it didn’t do service
'too long.)
Carl recalls that he and his sisters visited the Robert Cald
well family on the Lakeshore Road midway between Bayfield
and Goderich. They started home at seven o’clock with horse
and buggy via Porter’s Hill. Several times Carl got out in
narrow spots near Porter’s Hill to lead the horse, and at
other points to tramp a path for the ibuggy wheels to avoid
breaking the whiffletree. It took them four and a half hours
to reach their home on the fifth concession, Stanley Township
— a distance of 13 miles. The horse, a colt, was almost played
out. Carl and his sister also suffered from the wind and snow
in the top buggy — the wind tore the lining out of the top and
ripped it to shreds.
And in Seaforth, Mrs. Hewson’s niece Anna Woods (Mrs.
J. E. Howard) went to church that night with her mother and
sisters, Rebecca and Isabel. They had only two blocks to walk
to St. James Anglican Church from their home on Goderich
Street. Mrs. Howard recalls' the intensity of the storm and
being afraid that the high tower on the Presbyterian Church
woud blow over on them as they passed.
Later in the month there was fine warm weather. Lucy
recalls walking on the beach .and seeing strange dead purple
things which she was told were a form of lizard. Her father’s
cousin, William H. Woods, enjoyed a swim in the lake towards
the end of the month.
Ijucy hopes that the thunder and lightning last week is a
sign of a nice warm “Indian Summer” yet to come.

brother Jack on the violin. Lat
er in the evening, the sisters
were joined by another sister,
Mrs. Gail Glanville, - who is a
clerk at the HCMS office in
another step dance number.
The guest speaker was Ed
ward Schofield, provincial sec
retary of tlie Co-operative Med
ical Services Federation of On
tario. He is a University of
Toronto graduate in business
administration and has always
been in the insurance business.
Mr. Schofield said that med
ical co-ops ’ have increased
since being “kicked out” of
the hospital field. He said they
.have increased nearly 25 per
cent in the past 12 months.
He remarked on the new cov
erage put into effect last year
on chiropractic care; there is
some success in developing
dental programs, he said.
There are 31 medical co-ops
in Ontario and all are increas
ing their volume of. business,
the provincial secretary said.
He also said some offices are
converting to business account
ing machines.
• Mr. Schofield said some
thought had been given to co
op drug stores. He1 said, "the
average mark-up of drugs in
Ontario is 40 percent; discount
houses work on 15 percent."
He went on to say that co-ops
could operate at less than 40
percent. — or part of the 40
percent mark-up could be re
turned to shareholders, ,•
The speaker was introduced
by Vice-President Ken Johns
and thanked by Director Gor
don Richardson.

the county.
He expressed concern over
the indecisive attitude of many
Canadian people and suggested
that an evolution rather than
a revolution was needed.
“Let’s keep Canada one na

two divided organizations.”
Mr. Shearer told of a recent

and noted how progressive and
impressive things looked there,
