The Bible Tedag *.4 THE BIBLE TODAY The Bible in magazine format is proving to be a most popular , item of literature, Portions 'are now available in separate books, with 40 photographs and line drawings of Bible lands; in many languages. A representative, of the Bible Society in India found that the Gospel according to St, John sold like the proverbial "hot\ cakes" during the recent riots there. St. Mark's Gbspel is now to be printed in this forthat in eleven of the main languages of this sub-contin- eat, A compilation of these Gospels the Book of Acts, the Epistles and Revelation, now forms a new edi- tion of the New Testamenthr Eng- lish. Over 500 illustrations• are in- eluded, The Bible text is set up in para- I graphs with verse markings includ- ed, but not prominent. A. variety of colunin widths and types are used to make for easier reading. Headings and sub-headings indi- cate the contents throughout. These attractive editions of Holy Scripture indicate the return to the early methods of Bible printing. The Exhibition of "The Bible in Print", currently being held at the Royal Ontario Museum, Where an- cient copies are displayed, shows the 'great Bibles of history 'to be "richly finished in a wide variety of materials and colours, anything but puritanical in dress".

On Friday of last week as Mr. William Sellers, of the third line, Morris, was leading a team of colts through a gateway on the farm, they ran away. They were attach- ed to a wagon loaded with rails and one of the Arils failing off startled them. Mr. Sellers stayed at the head for about 15 rods, but finding himself powerless to stop them let them go. They ran about 10 rods further when they ran astride a thorn bush. The wagon was' broken in splinters, but the horses came out unharmed A very quiet wedding took place the residence of Mr. Thomas Ir- win, John Street, 1,Vedrresday, when his daughter, Debbie, was united in holy bonds of matrimony, ,,to Mr. Alex Mentgomery, of Orange- hill.

A gang of youngsters systematically worked its way through gardens, tearing up Tall cabbages and anything else of value that could be found in a wanton urge to destroy. Since the event it would appear that there are fewer ,Youngsters running around that cor- ner of the town in the evenings, so it may be safely assumed that sensible C.G.I.T. WILL SHARE. The members of the Canadian Girls in Training in Wingharn will be out rapping on doors again this Hallow- e'en, but they will not be interested in candy or apples. With the familiar cry, "Shell Out", the girls will be askinig your help to provide necessities for the unfortunate youngsters of other lands through the agency of UNICEF, the international organiza- ion which interests itself pa'rticularly iia The fate of the young and helpless. Certvainly there are many adults who doubt the wisdom of continuing traditional Hallowe'en pranks when NIGHT CLASSES DESERVE SUPPORT 'Evening classes have been opened once more at the Wingham District High School and a new group- of in- terested people will take up studies 'which range from bookkeeping- to shopwork. Last week the school an- 'loomed that there V1/4,-as room ' for asnore in the classes. he interest which is evidenced in -these evening classes is one of. the finest signs we have of an intelligent populace. It is recognition of the true place of education in our society, for none but the very dense assume that the conclusion of a normal high school course ends one's mental training. In the best sense of the word, our . years at school are simply a preparatory which should fit the human mind to educate itself further with dvisting years as the need arises. * * HUMANS ARE HARD TO SUPPRESS The news which has leaked out of communist countries during the past few days indicates that the iron rule of ilostons is not only unpleasant for those who Ilear its weight — but much more important, that the -yoke of hu- man freedom cannot be forever stilled no matter how harsh the tactics used. In Poland and the Baltic countries there appears to be unrest of such a grave nature that troops have been required to cope with the situation. In our part of the world, where we have known nothing but generations of freedom, people find it virtually impoisible to fully understand the hard-pressed citizens of communist- d orninated lands, Loss of freedom seldom comes to any people in on'e full swoop. In this day and age we are prone to give our freedom, away rather than having it taken from us, Go ahead, laugh about nomination meeting. Snort at the sin- cere fellow who is ready to speak out -on subjects of civic importance. Be as contemptuous as you wish about free- dom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom, of worship. Perhaps your children won't have the chance to .laugh at, these, things.

Wingham is a friendly place, and for that reason property owners did not lay a formal complaint with the police. They are hoping that the whole affair was just one of those rare occasions when "boys will be boys'% The main thing is, however, that whether they will be boys or not, youngsters must learn early in life that the other fellow's property is in- violate. Lawlessness of any kind is inexcusable in a land as prosperous and highly developed as ours. At this season of the year the spirit of Hallowe'en breaks loose. Few of us are disturbed by the normal pranks at the proper time, but when the whole 'affair starts weeks ahead of t;me even the most patient become irritated. Windows along the main street have been soaped every night since the be- ginning of the month. The joke is more than a little stale. HALLOWE'EN FUN they tend to become a public nuisance. But the leaders and ' members of the C.G.I.T. have undertaken what this newspaper feels is an outstandingly fine project, in converting the energies Which might otherwise be bent on such a humanitarian cause. When you "shell out" for the girls we would recommend that you do so unstintingly, with the humble thought that your own child- ren and grandchildren are well fed, warmly clothed and surrounded by affection and safety on every side. .SET IN, FOLKS, AND EAT HEARTY Good old Ontario has changed a lot in the past 25 years; What was once an easy-going rural district is now a bustling and highly competitive in- dustrial area. There is, of course, no Taint whatever in bemoaning the changes wrought by progress. As a matter of fact most of the changes Faye been for the better, what with imprOved schools, hospitals and wel- fare services; not to mention the tre- .mendous increase in standard of liv- ing. Nonetheless, that very phrase, "standard of living", is one which is fraught with false values. Today's measure of the standard of living is arrived at by computing total sales of such up-to-the-minute gadgets as elec- tric refrigerators, television sets and new cars. Our standard of living is reputed to be high when we spend more than we earn in order to have the' very latest of everything which will make life easy and give us more leisure time. The principle may be correct bat in practical application something seems -to be amiss, for surely there never was a decade in the history of this province when leisure time was at a greater premium. Even our hard- working pioneer grandfathers slaved only until sundown. They did have a couple of hours before bedtime with their children about the fire — a time when the stern but utterly honest code of their day was instilled into young hearts. Father today starts a little later in the morLing, but his activities are liable to continue without pause until midnight. His grandfather had .to plod along behind the plow, but at least he had the priceless blessing of the good health which his rugged out- door life engendered. In no single sphere has there been such change as in' our social life. A but gone are the days when four or five families gathered at a single home after church on Sunday to enjoy the pleasures of a well-laden table and to talk of the common interests of their daily lives. Families, as well as .a:p- petiteS were large and -recreations were simple and wholesome. Perhaps it is with thoughts of those warm-hearted days that present day people attend the fowl suppers which are prepared Lt various points in the district at is time of year. The bountiful spread of good food and the bustle of activity in the nearby kitchen serves to- remind us of the wonderful times we used to enjoy at grandma's — the warmth of hospital- ity and the pleasures of good company.
