A letter from the board's so licitor, W. G. Cochrane, pointed out that an Exeter couple ap peered to be the legal guar dians of one of the students, although formai adoption •pa pers have•not been received. The board moved to accept the child for kindergarten without payment of fees, The solicitor was asked to write to an Exeter couple, ad- vising them that under the new regulations, their children would not be qualified to at- tend Exeter Fublic School. The parents reside outside the li- mits of the town, but own a house within the limits which up until now has qualified them to send their children to the school. They presently have one child attending and a second to start in September, In the final case, the board decided to request fees for the months of April and May for the attendance of one student who is living with her grand mother in Exeter. The child.'s parents reside near Toronto and the board felt the interpretation of the act meant the parents would have to pay the fees for the child, Attendance down Principal Arthur Idle re- ported that, communicable di- seases were still prevalent in the school, reducing the at- tendance. Several classes have had several absenteeisms due, to an outbreak of measles at the school. He reported that approxi- mately 55 children had been enrolled far the kindergarten classes for the coming school year. Mr. Idle requested that four academic awards be presented this year and the sums be raised to $10 each, The request was passed by the board. The World Boca: and the Canadiana were on display for •the board members, and the World Book Encyclopedia was purchased. The school already has a set of the Canadiana. The principal reported that - the school's field meet would e be held on May 12 and the win- ners would again be taken to Chatham to compete in a Sports Day later in the month. He said that several pieces of sports equipment had been purchased for the use of the students, The board agreed to grant Mrs. Lorne Kleinstiver a day's leave of absence to visit the Sarnia kindergarten and the board would pay for a supply teacher during her absence. Discuss insurance Gerald Godbolt met with the board and discussed a group insurance policy for the teach- ers. lie suggested the board pay for the first call of a doc- tor, rather than starting to pay at the second call. The local agent also sug- gested the board include life insurance in the amounts of $3,000 for female staff mem- bers and $5,000 for males. The net cost would be 16 cents per month for single persons and $1,22 per month for married men. The group insurance would cost $21,60 per month, but he said the dividends could ulti- mately reduce the cost below $360.00 per year. No action was taken on the insurance question.

The school is comprised of students in grades seven and eight and the members re- marked on the wonderful noon hour supervision given at the school. They said they were making excellent use of the teachers and there was also good co-operation between the teachers and the board. The - local board felt they could benefit from a similar program and a letter has been sent to the Waterloo board for answers to some of the ques- tions brought up. Ross Tuckey, chairman of the property committee, re- ported that the dividers in the boys' washroom were rusting and that Sanitation Inspector Jim Pinder had suggested they be painted. The committee was given power to act in the matter and also in the purchase of bicycle racks. The racks are to be built by A J. Sweitzer. Secrebary-treasurer W. H. Hodgson reported that a con- tract had been sent to Mrs, Ron Heimrich for the coming year at a salary of $3,600 and she had accepted same. 1.41.1.MMUSWAZie.1=114W.gatM The story in Zion Sy MISS MURIEL HERM SIZASSAStaseWatlaseMiatAmIts Personal items Mr. and Mrs. William Mc- Dowell of Denfield were Tues- day afternoon callers last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Ja9ties.

Preparations be- gan three years ago. Confer -I ences were held with agricul- tural officials, at which many suggestions for .questions were considered, Then, as the basis of final research on the ques-, lions to be asked, a test cen- sus was taken in the areas of Hamilton, Galt and Joliette, in June, 1959, As a result of this planning, the main agricultural census Zarin of 1961 contains 186 ques- tions. That's in addition to the queries of the population forrn,! which will be answered by, farmers and non -farmers alike,' In addition, there are :further, questionnaires or irrigation and woodlands, for the farmers! concerned, This is a lot o11 questions. but most farmers will answer only a fraction of them, depending on the type of their operation.

How will the census be taken? In the last week of May, most farmers across Canada will receive by mail the gen- eral agricultural form. It is be. ing mailed before June 1 so that farmers will know in ad- vance of the arrival of the census taker the questions he or she will ask. It is hoped that farmers will have the an- swers ready when the census taker arrives. If the farmer is away when the census taker calls the wife can then have the answers available, The time of both farmer and census taker will be saved. Reveals development of Biblical translation A display of Bibles from th Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Gree to the current new English Bible with comments by the pastor, the Rev. 5, E. Lewis featured the Sunday mornin service in James Street United Church, "The first, really important translation for us was Jerome's translation into Latin" said Mr. Lewis, The scholar, Je- rome, went to live in Pales- tine "where it all happened" and it required 25 years for him to complete the task in A.D. 405." This translation was in use for the next 1,000 years when demand in England was made for a Bible in the Eng- lish language. e' This Bible is new, it is con. temporary and it is a transla- tion that depends on the most upsto-date scholarship avail- able. The 70 scholars, who worked on it, were aided by a panel of literary advisers, They were told to go ahead and do a completely new transla- tions ignoring completely the language of the King James version. Several scholars made part translations of the Bible but Wycliffe was the first to translate the whole book in English. The Roman Catholics were incensed and after his death exhumed the body 'and burned it. Two hundred years later was the first printed Bible in English by William Tyndale, who had great ability and who fled to the continent to do his work .and shipped his manuscripts back to England in bales of merchandise, Other translations were known as Cloverdale in 1535; Matthews in 1537; Bishop and Geneva in 1560. Confusion arose from so many translations and King James ordered a new translation. It was undertaken by 47 scholars and completed in 1611 and known as the King James Bible. It was three centuries before it was generally ac- cepted. Other versions have been translated by Moffatt, Ply- mouth and J. E. Phillips and now the new English Bible of 1961 on the 350th anniversary of the King James version. .Paragraphs were introduced in the Wycliffe edition. com- pleted in 1384 and verses were numbered in the Geneva. Bible of the 16th century. In the 20th century color was intro- duced for the Bible cover which had always been sombre black. "We must remember the rhythm, music and English are of the 20th century and not of the 17th as in the King James Version to which we have become accustomed. it is hoped this new Bible will prove a new instrument of mis- sion for the church" said Mr, Lewis. Collector returns — Continued from page 1 to 300 miles every fall, some- times through heavy snow. "I've been, on every farm in the township many times," he recalls. About 10 years ago, however, the council provided for mailing of the tax bills, which. has simplified the col- lector's job. Mr. Johns has served under five township reeves. In ,addi- tion to 'Mr. Passmore, they In- clude Hugh Berry, Wellington Brock, Verne Pincombe and the present reeve, Clayton Smith. The other township officials at the time of his appointment were the late Harry Strang, Sr., clerk; William Routly, as- sessor (now road ain't); and Newton Clarke, treasurer, Mr. Clarke, who is still handling the t ownship's finances, has been treasurer for more than 35 years, The number of new jobs cre- ated in Canada between mid - 1957 and mid -1960 totalled only 220,000, and 11 is estimated that to absorb new workers entering the labour force the economy will have to create 200,000 new jobs annually in the 1961-1965 period.
